What did I cook this weekend.....

[Hoppy2bmerry]

A “burrito bowl” no rice.

 

[Temptd2]

Mmmmm looks delicious, Merry! I need to make a low-carb taco salad...that sounds good!

 

[bleme]

32oz Porterhouses, sous vide at 134F (my oldest is a little squeamish) then 500F in a cast iron for 90 seconds per side. Best mushroom sauce I have ever made on the side: portobello, meat juices, red wine, and a spoon of my homemade cayenne sauce.

Venison back strap seasoned with ramp salt and pepper topped with ramp compound butter with the last of the local asparagus and sweet potatoes.

 

[Temptd2]

Drool!

Can't wait to visit my parents in WV this Fall and mule back some deer meat. My freezer hasn't seen deer, and I haven't seen my parents, since pre-COVID I am going to take the sous vide this time, and show my Mom how to use it. It'll do wonders to some of those tougher cuts of meat.

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Pork fried rice, shrimp and a dollop of mushy peas.

 

[AzOr]

Pork char sui and pineapple fried rice. Last weekend.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Sunday brunch with homemade sourdough English muffins made with buttermilk with a very fluffy and tender crumb.

 

[Brewin’&Qin’]

Last day of vacation grilled some bone in ginger beer brined pork center loin chops (sorry no pic) and grilled romaine lettuce. Very yummy.

 

[DBhomebrew]

Pan-fried pork chops. Mushrooms in HB English Pale Ale gravy. Roasted carrots. Pan-fried leftover roasted butter pillows. I mean golden potatoes.

Ive been tinkering with some "pesto" ideas. One i made was pretty interesting.
Thai Sweet Basil (60 grams)
Fresh toasted peanuts and pine nuts (3 TBS total)
Lime juice (2 TBS)
Garlic roasted with the nuts (5 large cloves)
Avocado oil (little less than a 1/2 cup)
Fish sauce (optional) didnt add any this batch but 2 TSP would be about right
Sea salt (use less if adding fish sauce) (1/4-1/2 TSP)

Same basic process as making typical pesto but no cheese. A "paste like this is sometimes used in a Thai dish with ground pork and long beans. It would also include Holy basil, shallots and chile peppers. I was out of shallots atm but my next test will include shallots. The one i made was good on Chinese pork lo mein

Chicken tika

Oklahoma burgers last night. These are so good, I don’t grill burgers anymore.

 

[bleme]

Half the stuff in my garden are veggies I can’t get in the grocery store but wanted to try. Picked my first batch of golden beets today. Roasted the beets (air fryer) and sautéed the greens.

I can tell in my body mood I am lacking some of the bright veggies. It's usually in the winter time but I have neglected the veggie binge I do in the summer.

Wife wanted grilled cheese and tomato soup, so I made...

My wife and her mom decided to become bee keepers. She had a swarm take over her worm bin, my wife has always wanted bees, so she bought a hive, and they transferred them over. The honey, so good...can't wait...drool!!

Tomahawk steak and some carrots

Had something similar while we were in New Mexico. It's so good - a hatch chile pork stew. Roasted everything on cherry wood first then crock pot for half the day (corn, hatch Chiles, serrano Chile, tomatillos, onion, garlic, and pork shoulder).

And some sourdough french toast before she went into work tonight

 

[Temptd2]

Dang, Twisted, that ALL looks excellent!

Did they find E.T.?
Just kidding- I would gain 100lbs if I lived in your house.
The Tomahawk steak and green Chile stew made me drool.

That tomahawk last us four/five meals, lol, and that stew was so good. Sous vide then thrown on the grill.

With beans, should be good, too.

Now I'm out of leftovers, doh!!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Top round London broil, steamed cauliflower and lobster Mac n cheese.

 

[Temptd2]

I had a nearly 3 pound, 1 bone rib roast which I put in the sous vide yesterday, then hard seared it in a screaming hot cast iron skillet. Also split a roasted sweet potato and some pan-roasted mushrooms between KOTC and myself. Forgot pictures (as usual!) but dang it was good.

Tonight is smoked salmon pizza - keto crust, cooked til crispy, cooled, topped with seasoned cream cheese, fried capers, thinly-sliced Serrano peppers, finely diced onion, diced avocado, and lox-style smoked salmon. Maybe I'll remember a picture!

Light brunch today ham egg and Munster sammie. Hubby had the same in omelette form croissant on the side.

 

[TwistedGray]

Not my (butternut squash) ravioli, but I made some brown sage butter and crispy ribeye bits. I also grew the sage, so +1 point.

 

[beermanpete]

The plums are ripe on our tree so I made jam and an Asian Plum Sauce. I also made pickled carrots.
