    Sunday breakfast and lunch:
    Quick breakfast was just a quinoa flake chocolate chip cookie (I made some the other day) and coffee. Like this one...
    0fiza7dncwg7.jpgLunch was leftover roasted chicken and garlic parmesan green beans. I made some veggie pasta Alfredo to mix in. Honey crisp apple slices on the side. Cleaning house to get ready for Thanksgiving - eating on the fly today...

    Today:
    Everything but the kitchen sink recipes! Used up a lot of extras and leftovers.

    Same approach here tonight (but no pics) ... empty the fridge in prep for loading it back up again for Thanksgiving this week.

    Tonight, Italian-themed melange of roast veg with baked chicken. Veg (onion, green pepper, zucchini, tomato with Italian herb & EVOO) formed a trivet layer in bake pan, and got about 12 minutes head start before being overlaid with chicken breast cutlets with a "Tuscan" spice coating to finish roasting for another 40 mintues. Oh, and side of baked blue potatoes. Very tasty and healthful, pretty simple too.

    Now to start on the holiday prep ...

    Air fryer copycat KFC from the Chicago Tribune recipe. I keep a jar of the spice mix in the pantry which is mixed 2:1 with flour when needed. Smashed new potatoes and sauteed tenderstem broccoli and snow peas with Chinese olive vegetable.

    A colleague came over for a Chinese cooking lesson. We had some other colleagues over as volunteer eaters of the output. Contact fried ginger and spring onion fish, beef with black bean sauce, green beans stir fried with Chinese olive vegetable, smashed cucumber salad with black sesame dressing. We had rice with that. Dessert of store bought coconut ice cream with miso caramel sauce and sesame brittle not pictured.

    Friday night my husband always want to eat out because he says it makes the weekend feel longer. We went to a European "sharing plates" place near the flat that we liked a few years ago. It's now overpriced with horribly affected service.

    Sorry to hear that! The food sure looks delicious though, was it?

    Grass Pea soup (Zuppa di Cicerchie) made with Cicerchia beans from Rancho Gordo. Doesn't look wonderful, but it's great comfort food, I couldn't get enough of this soup. I added extra olive oil to meet my macros.

    Cottage Pie (heavily altered from the recipe I found in The Real Meal Revolution cookbook). The recipe uses cauliflower in place of potatoes, and I decided to replace the butter with olive oil. Wasn't sure that this particular change would work well, but I like it a lot. Also I've become quite fond of having my cottage pie on top of a nice fresh salad. I love the contrast between bright, cool crunch and soft, hot comfort food.

    Moro Bean Soup. I made this after reading customer Emily's comment on the Rancho Gordo page for the Moro Bean variety. Lots of spices... a beautiful bean soup, and absolutely scrumptious. Emily can cook, that's for sure!

    Parmesan Chicken Pieces with Roast Garlic Tomato Mole from The Real Meal Revolution. (The blog I linked has the recipe but they made a small change, doubling the amount of butter used for the chicken. I used olive oil instead of butter.) Also the book goofed by calling mole a "Spanish" sauce... it's a Mexican thing and its roots were in indigenous, not Spanish, cooking. What's more, the sauce for this recipe doesn't even contain chili peppers, so it's not even a mole to begin with. Sure was tasty though, and I will definitely make this again. Side of spinach sautéed in olive oil & garlic.
