Those are delicious. Don't be put off by the weird spiky skin, the flesh inside is sweet and translucent and juicy like a lychee, and all you have to do is squeeze until the skin breaks and then peel it off.

With the exception of my post(s).



Yams cooked in coconut oil (I haven't clarified my butter yet ), bison sausage, and wilted kale.
I don't know how to use/make seasonings and sauces, so I just added ground kelp (for iodine), freshly ground pepper and sea salt.
It looks pretty, sounds yucky, flavors don't work so well together, and I'm not a fan of kale at all, except for it being a nutrient dense leaf, and the texture ranges from chewy kale to soft sweet yam to spicy yummy meat. Basically, the decent bites are the ones with the meat, heh.

But this dish pretty much sums up my level of "cooking". Preferably seasonal, simple, basic foods w an emphasis on veg and meat. No recipe required, just mix n match what's available...which doesn't always work well together. But then, I don't really like thinking of food that much.

Edited to add: for my second and possibly last meal of the day, some onion and garlic cooked in coconut oil, mixed veggies from frozen bag, 2 eggs, seasoned w chili powder, salt, and pepper.

cheesy chicken corn and rice

 

[Korpsy Knievel]

Nice stuff, ann. The bison and kale were eye-poppers, and I'd just recently read that yams/sweet potatoes were very nutritionally complex so they make a good staple.

[Absurd]

Had cake but I ate it.

[ashlesha]

i never used to be a fan of tilapia but if you demolish it with spices and dunk it in tartar sauce its pretty good

 

[ashlesha]

they look huge lol but thats a tiny plate. they are deliciousssss.

The first thing I'll do the day I win the lottery is hiring Korpsey as my personal cook. *drool*

[anndelise]

Apple Chicken Sausage w onions, garlic, broccoli, bell peppers, and salsa.

[anndelise]

wanna trade?

Nope. it was yummy. The salsa added just enough tang to it all.

Also, grains hurt my tummy, and I am currently avoiding dairy. Though your meal did look yummy, *sigh*.

chicken & broccoli alfredo (made w/ greek yogurt & olive oil - no cream or butter)

How did you fix it? I have been looking for a substitute for alfredo sauce.

this is the recipe
http://www.celebrations.com/content/...occoli-alfredo

but i didn't like it heated up later as leftovers and tbh i probably won't make it again.

[ashlesha]

Interesting! Did it taste any different?

yeah - not as rich. i think i could taste the yogurtyness but i'm not sure if that's just because i knew it was there. it was still good and worth making.

[anndelise]

Chicken w chopped olives, salsa, and steamed brussel sprouts. Salt and pepper.

I need to find a way of flavoring up the brussel sprouts.

I recently had brussels sprouts seasoned with just salt, pepper, butter and lemon juice, lightly coated with bread crumbs. They were different and good.

[ashlesha]

have you tried roasting them with spices?

[anndelise]

have you tried roasting them with spices?

No, my cooking skills are limited, and my seasoning skills are even more lacking...as in salt, pepper, cayenne. That's one of the things i intend to work on, gradually.

I'd suggest spices, butter, and skillet.... just stir fry with butter and spices.

I tried to eat wasabi-coated peanuts once. It didn't end well.
But the most spicy stuff I ever ate was a South American sauce.

[GuavaDrunk]

Wasabi-coated peas are good. Most are mild but you get the occasional stealth-bomb.

[Korpsy Knievel]

White people discover horseradish.

[blackburry]

I just had more nutella. so.


Also, yesterday I had goat cheese pizza. Try it. I'm gonna go ahead and pretend like these are my hands and this is my kitchen so these are my hands. and this is my kitchen.

also, while I'm posting, this picture: makes me want to cry in awe. and covetousness.

[ashlesha]

im totally spamming this thread lately. oh well.

penne rosa with shrimp

again with the greek yogurt - but this recipe is muchhh better than the alfredo one. really garlicky.
(http://backtoherroots.com/2012/03/20...a-with-shrimp/)

 

[FDG]

Why would you put greek yogurt in penne rosa with shrimp? Doesn't the garlic cover all the other taste?

Anyway they look great
