I’ve have made some really good meals this past week.
Sunday Chicken Marsala (drunken chicken)..it was over baked potatoes and they were good. Cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and sauted breaded chicken in olive oil. Then cooked down in Marsala wine.
Ricotta cheese stuffed burger with sauted green peppers.
Homemade beef stew
I miss not having an oven as baking really makes me happy, but that is another blog.
We got a sushi kit.
I read several recipes, and we watch many cooking shows.
My brother, mom, and I missed the local Asian buffets that served sushi.
I love Alaska roll. Salmon is one of my favorite fish. I also enjoy crab.
So we got a kit, I found Nori (seaweed), and we got crab, avacodo, and cream cheese.
We made a few rolls, it was messy and it really is an art. It gave me a new respect for those would make sushi.
Chicken Parakish with homemade spaezle (dumpling).
It was so good. It’s complete filling comfort food.
I kept New Years very simple. . .
Lunch meat sandwiches. . .
Cheese and Crackers. . .
Colby
Colby-Jack
White cheddar
Cheddar and Smoked bacon cheese balls
Butter crackers. . .
I just kept it simple and everyone seem to enjoy it.
I’ve been into writing (working on my novels) so I haven’t been cooking as much.
I made a crustless quiche (Fritatta) yesterday . . . It’s like omelet meets pie.
I added mushroom and green pepper.
I melted cheese on top.
I seasoned with chives, pepper, and season salt.
I made it in a slow cooker and it just took a few hours.
I made scalloped potatoes.
It would have been awesome with salsa and sour cream and toast.
It was fluffy and flavorful.
Out kitchen situation is very complicated. We got an opportunity to be in a kitchen large enough for all three of us to cook. So Saturday (March 9th) we decided to make stew and soups.
Zeroman made Stew. It was extremely peppery and favoriful. It should be sold in diners. It was a bit thin on the first day, but it thicken up by the second day. I forgot to get a picture.
Turtle, Zeroman, and I made cheesy broccoli soup and Clam chowder. They were awesome and lasted almost four days. We also made biscuits and fish with it.
Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Soup. It was very creamy and rich. I had hold myself back from over eating. I enjoyed the larger chunks of broccoli and chicken.
Clam chowder. It was full of clam and had amazing rich and flavorful creamy broth. It was a bit thinner than I want. However it turned out awesome for our first try at Clam Chowder.
To end an awesome Soup and Stew Saturday,
I even made a fruit cocktail yellow dump cake.
It’s simple empty a can or two of fruit cocktail on the bottom with the liquid. Then make a yellow cake mix and pour over.
Bake at 350 just as cake box suggests.
You can serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Sunday (March 10Th) Turtle and I took left over biscuits, some ham, 3 minute eggs, and then drizzled the left over cheese soup over all of it. It was our simplified Eggs Benedict for breakfast. . . it was awesome. I almost just as good as a hollandaise sauce.
