My take on migas with chorizos for breakfast on a beautiful day,View attachment 283156

Awesome!

 

[Staestc]

The finished artichoke and pesto lasagna with toasted pine nuts.

Also awesome!

I have been just swamped lately and have not been able to play. Tonight I'm cooking just for me, so I'm experimenting with some spicy grilled chicken thighs. Marinade is chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, olive oil, and black pepper, along with some lime juice.

Gonna let these soak in half the mix for a bit, then grill them slow basting with the other half. Have a tater baking to go with!

Peel and eat shrimp with chorizo broth, smoked paprika, and lemon.

I am going to be a blatant copycat and do that myself real soon now!

Can you put that lake in your photo? Lol. Just great food and an awesome picture!

 

[Staestc]

This is the best I can do to mimic the perfection of Lakes photo with my chicken.

Damn that shrimp looks good!!

Uh, do you know how many lakes there are where I live? ;-)

In less than 2 weeks, most of the people in this country will be starting huge bonfires right on the edges of lakes.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and I got to have me some of that shrimp!

 

[Staestc]

Okay, you can put a lake in the background, granted. But I'm after that shrimp too! Wife has gone home to visit family in Gulfport Mississippi. She will be bringing home shrimp!! I've been out for too long!

 

[Goofynewfie]

Did a lemon pepper rub on these before putting them on the grill

[mattmmille]

Homemade pizza dough, arrabiata sauce (Bertolli), salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese and Parmesan. (Never made it out to get mozzarella.)

 

[Temptd2]

Had a nice zucchini in the garden, let it get big enough to stuff - made a Greek-influenced ground lamb mixture, stuffed that puppy, put it in the roaster oven outside because it was too hot to turn the oven on in the house - ate it with some cucumber raita and some soft whole wheat pitas.

I DID take a picture, when I put it in the roaster, but dang if I didn't forget to get another one when it came out. Well, it was delicious, anyway!

Do you eat the zucchini flowers? I stuff them with mozarella and fry them in olive oil. Absolutely wonderful! Tried it the first time in Italy at a restaurant on a cliff overlooking the sea with a bottle of white wine.

Nope, tried 'em, not a fan.

Boiled and roasted jackfruit seeds...interesting. Like little dry, firm potatoes. Nice little snack...skins a bit of a pain to remove. Canned the last 2lbs of fruit in syrup and processed in the pressure canner. I'll have to save some for the next time my sister-inlaw visits. She was born in the Phillipines and is the only person I know that can tell me if these taste right.

 

[Melana]

No cooking here.

Been too busy to cook, but my wife made baked spaghetti last night. I think it's just regular spaghetti, but then put in the oven to bake with some cheese on top.

I was really craving it and didn't want the carbs, but I couldn't come up with anything better for an idea, so that's what we had.

 

[Temptd2]

Homercidal, we do it with either spaghetti squash or "zoodles" - zucchini cut into faux noodles. I use a Spirooli slicer to do that, but you can just use a veggie peeler and cut long thin strips the length of the squash. Saute in just a tad of butter and/or olive oil, then sauce it up!

Last night we had Greek chicken salads again, with lettuce, cucumber, and onions from the garden, then heirloom cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, lots of Feta cheese, marinated artichoke hearts, and chunks of avocado, with grilled chicken thigh strips and homemade Greek vinaigrette. And some fluffy (store-bought) pita breads. And a homebrewed Centennial Blonde ale!

 

[Staestc]

That just sounds like an awesome salad!!

 

[Staestc]

I'm cooking up Mango Jalapeño Meatballs! Thanks Costco! Lol

Been a long time since I've posted, but I'm back! Catching up on reading all the wonderful things I've missed out on!

Sourdough with basil pesto, thinly sliced fresh mozzarella, tomato, and lightly basted with olive oil on each side and cooked in the cast iron at a low heat with a lid over it. So good I could forgo the bread if I had to! Cheers!

Worst summer dinner in history - beef stew.

So, basically, grilled cheese sandwiches.

Is there a difference between a pressure canner and a pressure cooker, or is it that if you write the latter then you're in danger of getting a visit from the men in black?

I've been wanting to buy one, but only very tiny ones are sold in europe and can't get a proper sized one shipped from the US because of the men in black.

This explains the difference better than I am able:

I'm getting bored of not cooking. Need to think of something interesting to cook this weekend.

Well, shoot. The kid has dance recital all nights so that pretty much blows up the need for cooking dinner ourselves. Probably have leftover baked sketty and pizza.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Every time I'm looking for something interesting, I look at Indian food. A pain in the ass to track down ingredients but the end result is usually well worth the effort.
