What did you cook today?

Took a photo last night of the best meal.....
2 lighty fried Bubba burgers in organic cold pressed extra virgin olive oil....107 calories each
Bubba vegetable burger ingredients are: black beans, rolled oats, water, brown flax seeds, celery, green bell pepper, red pepper, apples, carrots, broccoli, corn, peas....ect.....

and my salad: different greens, red onions, carrots, broccoli, red grapes, parsley flakes, garlic powder, chunks of bleu cheese, celery, tomatoes....with Paul newmans organic balsamic vinegar dressing and crushed red pepper, as always on everything for me.. This plate of food was out of this world....and will probably be a staple now 2 or 3 times per week....

 

thai shrimp

kind of weird having to pop the heads off but they were tasty

they came pre-cooked (i guess they quick boil them)...

i was afraid they wouldnt have much flavour so i gave them a quick fry in butter and mrs dash spices....turned out perfect but definitely a messy snack having to pop and peel them


pretty sure im going to buy a bunch for summer just in case its a chinese new year thing they might be seasonal

 

pizza

 

My arm, it was delicious

 

I have done these on skewers on the BBQ and everyone really loved them. Some even eat the heads as they are super crisp when done that way.

I personally do not as it seems gross to me but.....

 

yeah most of them were ok but i think i ran into a couple of constipated ones...

 

Hubby is putting a big ham in the oven.

 

What are thai shrimp? I always thought that just was a recipe for regular shrimp.

Though this right here may be enough to turn me off before even trying them. lol

 

I made walnut bread today. Instead of making it in a standard pan I divided the dough into quarters and made 4 mini breads. It's basically a whole wheat bread with walnut oil and maple syrup and lots of chopped walnuts. And you use buttermilk instead of regular milk or water. I had it with Brie and fig preserves. Yum!

 

i defrosted a nice striploin steak...

then it started snowing so bad im not going out there to bbq so i cut it into chunks and wrapped those chunks with double smoked leadbetters bacon (best bacon in the world) and stuck it in the oven

 

That sounds sexual to me.

Sloppy joes, raw broccoli with ranch dressing, sliced avocados

Trying to do more kid friendly yet healthy meals so my child doesnt become anorexic. I've tried since he was a baby to develop his pallette by giving him more sophisticated foods (sophisticated by kid standards i mean) but it isnt working anymore. But i did figure out he'll eat veggies if they're raw so thats a win win. Gives me less material for this thread though

Cheers Glen.

 

I finally tried the prosciutto with melon. Oh man, was it ever good! I stuck a grape on top too. You have the saltiness of the prosciutto, the freshness of the cantaloupe and the sweet and tart of the red grape. A perfect combo. I also wrapped some prosciutto around pieces of croissant that I bought freshly baked from the café around the corner. Yummy lunch!

 

I've got a cake in the oven.

It's Devil's Food in a bundt pan. I poured the white, whipped icing in the middle of it. I'm going to top it with a confectioner's sugar glaze.

 

I had a feeling you would enjoy the contrast in flavours.
Looks delish!

 

I made dough for sugar cookies, it needed to chill so im not going to bake them until tomorrow. I found a heart cookie cutter so i'm going to make some cutesy vday cookies
