What did I cook this weekend.....

[damlamb]

I took advantage of the fresh herbs and kale in the garden to make some kale minestrone with pistou. Started with some pancetta than the onions, leeks, carrots, celery followed by tomatoes, parmesan rind and a fresh herb bouquet. Finished with potatoes, cannellini beans, and kale. Recipe from http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/kale-minestrone-pistou

Hotdogs for lunch, ribeye, corn on the cob, fresh tomato slices, and potato salad for dinner.

I barbecued some Hungarian & garlic sausages, with macaroni & potato salad & corn on the cob. Of course, brown mustard on the sausages. With Italian mineral water, ice cold. Getting hooked on that stuff.

I mixed dried blueberries with unsalted mixed nuts, then 1/4C into snack-size Ziploc bags to have for lunch with fresh fruit. Lost 40lbs so far, & need to loose more. Those dried blueberries flavor reminded me of my American Indian blueberry pudding I make for the holidays.

OH. My. God.

 

[passedpawn]

Apricots and chicken on skewers, with a glaze of honey and thyme, which is a great glaze for chicken with apricots (apricots are a little bitter when grilled). Wife approved.

And some veggies. Everybodies corn looks so good when they do it in a pot or inside the husk, but man I love the flavor of scorched corn. Ugly!

Almost everything I make is on grill, not sure why. Oh wait, that's next to my keezer I did make a batch of tabbouleh tonight, one of my favorite foods, and some mustard, but that's boring stuff.

Looks great!!

Wife made fried chicken, mashed taters & some savory spinach for supper last night. she keeps the oil in our new deep fryer cleaned out, & the flavor is light & crispy. I hate to admit it, but she's getting pretty good! She wants to make her drunk chicken soon (cacciatore). We like it made with Lambrusco. I then got to thinking, I have 2 gallon buckets, airlocks, & a 1 gallon jug. Maybe make one gallon kits of lambrusco or similar, if she can drink/eat it without getting sick, like beer? She's a type one diabetic...

Late getting home last night, so nothing fancy. Unthawed some tenderloin filets that I had purchased for dinner for one of the kids a few weeks ago that fell through at the last minute. Meat and taters night. Really good meat and taters night!!

 

[LakesideBrewing]

I deep fried over 50 pieces of fried chicken for a Build Your Own Fried Chicken Sandwich Bar last weekend. We had bacon, mayo, ranch dressing, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, hot sauce, and other items to choose from. It was a hit!

 

[unionrdr]

SWMBO making a huge package of pork chops as we speak. I hope they're the kind with onions & tomato sauce?! some mashed taters & greens would be great too...:rockin:

 

[Staestc]

I'm doing Gumbo! Roux first. Then my favorite part, putting the trinity into the screaming hot roux! Smell of that is just amazing!

Crabs are in! Bodies broken in half and I left the claws on top for the picture since they look cool. These are the 6 we kept out of the 40-45 we caught the first day. All the others were loaded with eggs so they go back.

Lol! Thank you. Never got a final picture posted after all the shrimp went in. It was great and a good time was had by all

 

[Yeastieboy]

That Gumbo looks exquisite!

Looks very tastey. Been a while since I did some gumbo but may do some soon after seeing these pics.

 

[Kharnynb]

nice gumbo.

We've been using the glut of rhubarb to make rhubacon on the grill.
just wrap sugar covered 2 inch rhubarb in bacon, grill to nice and dark on the outside and shrunk....soo tasty.

Made avacado hummus today for lunch. So good. Took a pic but it was blurry ( I might have been chewing ). Just purree two avacados, 15 oz can of chick peas, 1/4c of lemon juice and 1/2c olive oil. S&P to taste. I drizzled some olive oil on top then added crushed black pepper. So freaking good. Could be used as veggie dip or with nacho chips.

You could add 1 tbsp of tahini if you like that, but I don't ever - tahini is why I never eat storebought hummus. Also would be good with some chopped jalapenos or cayennes in there, but I expect wife to eat it later, so I left those out. Adding a relish of chopped black & green olives & pimento are good on top of hummus.

Sorry, I know these posts are expected to have pics, but didn't work out this time.

[edit] wth, bad pic is better than none at all

 

[Staestc]

Looks great to me! Why the aversion to tahini? I put it in all my hummus recipes.
