What did I cook this weekend.....

[beermanpete]

From Sunday. Fish Piccata with roasted purple cauliflower and a Caesar salad.

 

[Temptd2]

I would eat up that whole plate and ask for more! Nice!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

At 12 o’clock haricot vert, 3 is pan cooked chicken breast and, lastly pierogi with caramelized onions.

 

[Kickass]

Ribeyes that I got to use my new birthday Coolina knife to cut up!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Hubby’s portion of roasted duck, green beans, mash with duck gravy. Tender meat with crispy skin.

 

[day_trippr]

One of my DILs made us a fabulous dinner featuring a roasted beef tenderloin in a red wine reduction (whole bottle simmered down to about a cup) and some rosemary sprinkles with this cheese/potato disk concoction that was crazy good and some equally tasty green beans in a seasoned vinegar and shallot dressing. Had to have seconds!

Cheers!

A sensible salad with shrimp.

Jus vac sealed 3lbs of Tillamook pepper jack and cheddar. It’s my first time smoking cheese. According to what I’ve read, when it’s first smoked it smells like an ashtray- yup. It’s supposed to mellow for about a month before it can be eaten.
So now I wait…

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Hubby’s family calls it hot dish.

 

[day_trippr]

Chuckwagon Mac?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

My mom called it American chop suey and didn’t ever add corn to it. Chuckwagon Mac is as good a name as any. I’d change the cheese from Parmesan to cheddar and leave out the oregano though.

 

[Oldskewl]

Almost looks like goulash. Just has corn instead of tomato.

 

[day_trippr]

"A highly seasoned Hungarian soup or stew of meat and vegetables, flavored with paprika"?
Must be a different style of goulash...

Cheers!

Pan seared olive oil and balsamic vinegar marinated deer heart, medium rare. Tasty!

Have any pics of the hearts cut open? I’ve never tried them but they look good.
You shoulda waited and served them on Valentines Day.

 

[Temptd2]

LOL AzOr!

 

[day_trippr]

On this typically high caloric intake day I'm hitting the salad hard for lunch.
Iceberg, spinach, red and green peppers, red and green onion, pecans and grated parm, with a simple vinaigrette...

Cheers!

Young fisherman is now selling day boat scallops at the farm just thru the woods. Yesterday made scampi and a trial of ceviche. Cheated with the pico de gallo. Good news is snowstorm and he was pushing a sale. I will be back. For snacking during the game

Technically day old boat scallops

 

[AzOr]

Ok I expect more pics to be posted later today.
Game Menu
-Birria tacos, quesobirria tacos
-buffalo wings
-chips and other snacky stuff

 

[Temptd2]

Mmmmm I love me some birria. It's just DH and me around here and we opted for hot wings with chile lime sauce and veggies with bleu cheese dip, which I just finished making. The wings are all cooked and sauced and I'll throw them in the air fryer when it's time to eat. Easy peasy.

Dude, that ceviche looks killer good and lucky you to get fresh scallops! Hard to find in AZ....

Unfortunately, this is the only pic I took. You should give them a try.
Good idea on V'day!

Reverse sear t-bone. Unfortunately, I let it go about 5 degrees too long. Still tasty, though.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

The only cooking I did today was brunch eggs, bacon, homemade bread and a little serving of orange supremes and blueberries. Dinner was chicken from Popeyes with a side, and a bag salad. Chips with hummus were available for munching.

 

[beermanpete]

Red lentil soup and naan bread.

We were down visiting our daughter, SIL, and grandkids yesterday and today. My grandson and I have a tradition we started around 4 or 5 years ago and we called it our "Boys Adventure." We would go out for breakfast and then we'd stop somewhere and I'd buy him a toy. He's 12 now and he's not so interested in toys anymore, so our boy's adventure lately has been simply go out for a breakfast burrito, chocolate milk and some conversation. Always fun and special to spend time together. But man, that burrito filled me up for the entire day. When we got home late afternoon all I really wanted to do was to blend up a fruit smoothie. I just bought a Vitamix a few days ago and it was certainly up for the task. Should have bought one years ago. I guess it wasn't a gourmet meal, but it was satisfying.

day at home.

Valentine’s dinner at home, surf and turf.

Got a couple slices of cheesecake from the market, I made the blueberry compote and whipped the cream.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Duck soup and homemade sourdough grilled cheese sandwich.

 

[Oldskewl]

Gave the dutch oven a workout today. Made some sourdough bread and added some spent grains for the first time. May need to cut back the water some next time or bake it 5 minutes longer. Still tasted good. Just moist. Then for dinner I made Bigos(Hunters Stew) Not the same recipe I used last year(couldn’t find it), but it still turned out good.

Mmmm, bigos and fresh bread! It all looks very good. I also use wet spent grains and I do reduce the water by about a tablespoon less give or take.

Braised beef cheeks and veg with pan sauce. Tasty and tender like butter. Sam's Club cheeks had so much fat and trim that the cost per pound was more than ribeye.
