What are we eating for ..... 2015

Meatloaf was the supper tonight..
I used one pound of minced chicken, one egg, spices, one cup of stock, and one package of stove top stuffing mix..
Mixed all together and in a loaf pan at 375 f till the sides come out a bit and the top starts to brown..

I am NOT a big fan of stove top stuffing, but as a filler for meatloaf or as a topping for some of my casseroles, I will use it...

Breakfast: baked eggs for the both of us.....
 

Oakapple..
Yes I sometimes make fish fingers using cod mostly..
The flour I use is called wheat gluten and not the regular flour.. Herbs and spices makes it very tasty..
The trouble with fish fingers is I can eat a ton of them...
 
Tonight I made chicken drums on the BBQ.. dry marinated first..
Steamed green and wax beans with sour cream was the veggie..
S/F lime jello made with heavy cream for dessert..
 
My son came by this morning and brought me a bowl of his home made chili. So I guess that is what I will have.
 
Wheat gluten flour is what I use to make pancakes and waffles..

Stove top stuffing is what is sold in a box and is used to be stuffing made on the stove top.. It consists mainly of bread crumbs, herbs, spices and some other junk that I can't pronounce.. You mix the contents with one cup of hot water and it is supposed to be just like stuffing in a Turkey or Chicken.....
Is it good ???? >>>> NO.... Not at all but as a filler for meatloaf or as a topping over a casserole in the oven, it is just perfect..
I only use it then and NEVER as a stuffing.....
 
Steve...... This is getting too confusing for words.;)What exactly is wheat gluten flour then? We have either wheat flour, which of course contains gluten in the wheat, or gluten free flour. Which is actually flour made from rice.
Stove top stuffing, right I know what you mean but we don't call it that, just instant stuffing, it's called Paxo, and made up with boiling water and a pat of butter, it's not bad but not as good as your own.

Google it .............

Wheat gluten is definitely NOT wheat flour.. It has more protein than flour but is still flour..
MUCH lower in carbs than flour which is why I use it instead of regular flour..
It is NOT gluten free which I don't want ....
 
Last night for supper I made a lovely tuna casserole..
It was sooooo good that both Princess and I ate the whole thing .....

I love those one dish meals....

Interesting Steve I had never heard of this flour before , but it sounds good may look for it next time I'm shopping, .....

Vital Wheat Gluten is 100% Gluten (the protein in flour) and is a low carb flour! Also called Gluten Flour. Perfect to make lighter breads and to increase the elasticity of your baked favourites. This will strengthen your flour with more protein.
High Protein, Low Carb, Low Starch = GM Free Vital Wheat Gluten from Australian grown wheat, sourced in Australia.
A fine light cream coloured powder obtained by drying freshly prepared wet gluten separated from high quality Australian wheat flour.

Suitable for Vegans, Lacto Vegetarians, Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians.
The essential ingredient for Seitan - the perfect 'meat substitute' - see recipe below.
 
Wheat Gluten flour is the ONLY flour I use both in cooking and in baking..

I love making pancakes from it... Instead of using water as a liquid, i use cream and BOY does it ever come out light and tasty and rich.....

For breading fish (or whatever), I use wheat gluten, mixed with herbs and spices and dry bread the fish first before frying....

Kadee I'm in NSW and we call it dinner. Funny how different terms are used for the same things

Yes its funny how terms can even vary in Australia from state to state , I was bought up calling it tea ( grew up in Broken Hill)
No wonder some of our friendly members from O/ S get confused ..
 
We call them swimmers or cossies but other States call them bathers, suitcases vs ports, frankurts vs saveloys, scallops vs potato cakes, wheelie bins vs ottos........must be many more.
 
Dinner this evening was a baked ham, served with jacket potatoes, salad with a light vinaigrette dressing, and coleslaw.Pudding was a fresh fruit salad and vanilla ice cream.
