When we were in Utah for Kenzie’s wedding, we stopped by our favorite neighborhood Emigration Market. We were talking to the butcher about this roast we used to buy called a spoon roast. He told us that we could use a Pork Boston Butt or Shoulder or a Beef Chuck Roast. He gave us a container of the seasoning they…
Sauteed Vegetables (light version)
I got my teeth whitened the other day and they said I had to eat light colored foods for 2 days! How is that possible? It was torture. I walked by the farmers market and picked up a potato, an onion, a yellow squash, fresh garlic, a white bell pepper and a yellow heirloom tomato. It was all cut up…
Baked Canadian Salmon on Vegetables
I bought a piece of Canadian Salmon at Fairway. It was more expensive than their regular salmon but tasted amazing. I think partly because I didn’t overcook it. 350 degrees for 15 minutes. I cooked it in Trader Joes Island Soyaki marinade which is really good. From the ingredient list it has soy sauce, pineapple juice, ginger, garlic, onion, vinegar,…
Blueberry Raspberry Peach Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce
I had so much delicious summer fruit that I didn’t want to waste I came up with this variation of a recipe I like to make. I used lots of eggs maybe 6 or 8 and regular milk and buttermilk. I used my homemade vanilla since it seems to be almost ready. I wanted to see if it was effective…
Bagels with Cream Cheese, Salmon, Egg, Avocado, Tomato and Pickles
This is something that I used to make years ago and forgot about until recently. Not much to know other than having all these ingredients, cooking the salmon and hard boiled eggs. It is really good! Bigger tomatoes work better but this is what I had. Just layer it up and enjoy!
Frozen Waffle Batter Experiment
I found a recipe for the ultimate waffle. I don’t have pictures from the original experiment but I do remember there was a lot of cornstarch in the batter. Anyway, I saved the leftovers and decided to find out what would happen if I cut up the frozen batter and cooked it directly on the waffle iron. This is what…
French Toast with Day Old Baguette
It seems every time I buy a baguette it ends up rock hard the next day. This is what I do to not feel guilty, plus I love french toast! I use milk, eggs, vanilla (lots) and cinnamon for the mixture to soak the bread in.
Chicken, broccoli, roasted tomato, herbed cheese omelette
Omelettes are a window to what is in my refrigerator at the moment. Fairway has delicious Australian roasted tomatoes that I like to buy. I had Boursin cheese which was interesting in the omelette, too. This one was kind of chunky and I think the best ones I have made have more fresh herbs and bacon.
Fried Eggs with Rosemary Ham
This kind of speaks for itself. The Trader Joes Rosemary ham again. I think I hit my max with it and have moved on now. Still good. Just had a little too much lately.
Trail mix whole wheat rolls and granola
This is a clean out the cupboards type of day but they turned out great! I was trying to get more room in the cupboard and had so many partially used bags of different nuts and dried fruits used for various recipes. I cut up a fresh apple, added dried apricots, dried cranberries, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds, almond slivers, cleaned…
