What are you cooking or baking today?

[StarSong]

Breakfast today was brown rice, green onions, cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, bell peppers, green beans, carrots, blueberries, and blackberries and leafy greens. All stir fried in fresh orange juice. I refrigerated enough for two more meals.

Then to today's portion I added ground flax seed, seared tofu, leafy greens and cabbage. Heated that until the cabbage & greens had wilted, and topped it with ground flax seed.

I try to follow the advice of eating breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. Full disclosure: I need to snack like a princess between 3-4 pm. Usually cookies or some chocolate. (A gal's gotta live, right?)

This is called a blueberry pudding cake.
It’s cooked with steam on the stove in a bundting cake pan. It’s a 125 year old tradition.


Bundting pan


I’d love to take credit but my husband made it.

Leftovers tonight with a big bowl of peach cobbler. I only had a small bowl last night and it was just not enough LOL. I am planning on making coleslaw and a pot of beans or field peas for the weekend! Baby back ribs a calling....

I am planning on making coleslaw

I hated cole slaw (anything with cabbage, really) when I was a kid but love it now.

I’d only eat KFC dyed and sugared coleslaw.
Now I make my own and add tahini, ACV and lemon juice. I shred cabbage , carrots, and that purple stuff. The coleslaw is nice and tangy AND good for me. My husband hates it. He’d rather have the KFC dessert like coleslaw.

Mini soft tacos or, I guess, street tacos.
Oh, I bought a cabbage, corned beef, and potatoes today. I'll shred some of the cabbage for my tacos....crunchy!

There are so many veggies I hated as a child but love now. I eat a great variety now, seems like I add new things every year.

I think it sounds good! Tahini, huh?

I have a pot of pinto beans simmering now. Still have to make the coleslaw. Do any of you add celery seed to your coleslaw?

Now that I have beans cooking, cornbread will be a must.

I do.

Tahini is sesame seed butter or paste.

A friend recommended this soup as being good for recovering from an illness. Lots of antioxidants, perhaps. I skipped the wine, salt and chives, and only put in about half the ginger specified. (1/2 a cup of chopped fresh ginger is A LOT of ginger.)

Wow, I bet that much ginger would open every sinus in your head!

I was surprised how half that amount (which still seemed like a lot to me) wasn't nearly as fiery or gingery as I'd expected.

Oh no, I love tahini. I just never heard of it in coleslaw.

I found a recipe that used it in coleslaw and it was delicious
It’s much healthier than using mayonnaise
I really liked it

Yeah, it's hard to get off mayo. I made a hummus recipe version that included yogurt but I left out the chickpeas and increased the EVOO a little and used it as a mayo. I forgot about that. I need to make some! Thanks.

Think I will have salmon, pasta and salad for dinner.

 

[Pappy]

I made one of my world wide famous, , chicken stews and blueberry muffins for supper.

 

[Jules]

Yesterday I made 3.5 dozen bran muffins. This time I just added walnuts. Blueberries seem overwhelmed by all the grains. I’ll save them for something else.

 

[RadishRose]

Me either but the idea appeals to me.

 

[RadishRose]

I made chicken parm and spaghetti. Thawed sauce from the freezer. I sliced the chick breast in half lengthwise, breaded and fried both so now I have one for tomorrow.

Handful of arugula w/ oil and vinegar on the side.

 

[Lilac]

Made a big pot of baked beans with lots of bacon & grilled some hot dogs, too. I'll freeze the left over beans up for later meals. Been kind of lazy the past few days on cooking.

I'm having Pizza tonight and a brownie with mint frosting. Last night, however, I cooked chicken, brown rice , cauliflower and a few carrots in a large pot with water (boiled it), then put t some Alfredo sauce over it. It took about an hour because it was a chicken leg and thigh and it was also the rice you cook for 45 minutes. I used black pepper, parsley, garlic, onion, and salt free spice as the spices. I thought it was pretty good
