What did you cook today?

I book marked this as I think it would be great even as a side dish and knowing it turned out well makes me want to try this. I will probably use something also to make it a bit spicy as per your recommendation.

Thanks for the link

I'm trying this one tonight to serve as an appetizer. I'm going to substitute the mayo for low fat cheese cream though.

 

One of my favorite cooking/baking challenges is to turn traditionally decadent meals into healthful alternatives.

Today, I'm doing a spaghetti squash primavera, one of my favorite dishes (which is already fairly healthy, in it's own defense).

 

After years of not having a working oven, hubby wanted a frozen pizza cooked in the new oven.

 

How did you survive without an oven?

 

I have a toaster oven, and an electric roaster.

 

Made a stuffed chicken roast. Mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli and roasted beets.

 

Thank you, Heather. I feel the same about you!

 

I managed to make a pot of soup today. I had a turkey thigh and a chicken thigh so I threw them in a pot with water and added 7 garlic cloves, an onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, about a teaspoon of salt, a few turns of the pepper mill, thyme, rosemary, oregano, 1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper. I let it simmer for a couple of hours. I thought it would be bland with so little salt but it was quite flavourful. I'm sure the cayenne pepper added a lot, it had a nice burn to it, and I find that fresh thyme always deepens the flavour. I had a bit of the turkey and potato and carrot, but the broth was what I really wanted and it went down well. I have a tupperware of the broth and another of the meat and veggies to nibble on for the next few days. Soup is good food!

This is my first low-salt meal endeavour. I'm glad it turned out well, there's hope yet. I was afraid I'd be subjected to expanse's plight of eating nothing but raw carrots! :-D

 

Actually yes if you used veggie stock it would be vegan. I put cauliflower, onions, sweet potato and potato in a pot with a tin of diced tomatoes. And covered with stock and curry powder and later I added a tin of coconut milk.

Edit: I also meant to add kale at the end when I added the coconut milk, but I forgot lol.

 

Sounds amazing. I'm going to have to try that soon. I am all about the homemade curry these days.

 

im making soup right now

udon noodles with some shrimp and some steak strips i was saving for soup

 

For lunch I heated up some of the chicken broth I made yesterday and streamed in an egg. Egg drop soup!

For dinner I made a big chicken breast and a baked potato with a side of the low-salt fermented cabbage. I baked the chicken and potato plain, then sprinkled both with paprika after it was out of the oven and it turned out nice and juicy. I had half the breast today, I'll have the rest tomorrow. It was a big 'un.

 

I'm taking the easy way out tonight and heating up some frozen Chicken Spring Rolls. I'll make Ramen Noodles to eat with them.

 

lol Ohh, it's been a while since I've had rabbit. I set up a nice fat carrot for you in the corner. Enjoy!

 

Last night I made borscht for dinner and a kiwi lime pie for dessert! Here's a pic of the borscht, but the pie got sliced and destroyed before I remembered. I have some pieces left but it looks like a mess now.

 

Plantains, hot Italian sausages, and fried eggs.

 

There he was..........gone!!!

Expanse I think it might be the low salt diet!!! :yikes:
