    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.

    I was “late” getting to the cafeteria and they were out of entrees so went through the sandwich line. Turkey/cheese/salami/lettuce w pickles and jalapeños on the side. Stopped at the panini press too.

    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.

    The NYT published an alluring article a few months ago about how to flambé foods... so I decided to try the Steak Diane (side of arugula & carrots, with a bit of the steak sauce for dressing) and the Cherries Jubilee (omitting the sugar, ice cream, and pound cake). A very festive and fun dinner. I had a little bit of red wine with the steak & salad, and enjoyed playing around with the camera too.

    Easy Keto Salmon Patties... I had bought a couple cans of salmon a while back, which I realized was a mistake as soon as I made a meal with the first can. I like salmon and I like other kinds of fish in cans, but canned salmon is not for me :s

    Anyway, as I still had a can left, I decided it was time to get it over with... so I made a mediocre salad with half of it, and then I turned the second half into these salmon patties. Sadly there was no room left in my macros for the aioli, so I ate the patties by themselves. Not bad, but not something I would choose to eat again. I'm not a fan of crab cakes either, so this is no great surprise, but I thought the recipe was worth a shot.

    Food was okay but not worth £115 for five small sharing plates with wine. The best dish was the deep fried cod cheeks with alioli. I don't deep fry at home, so that was kind of a treat. The split peas under the butternut squash were good too. Mussels were a perfect texture but lacking in flavour especially as the menu mentioned nduja and gremolata in their preparation.

    Three-Cup Chicken with a side of bok choy cooked in sesame oil, tamari, garlic, and ginger. I omitted the sugar from the chicken recipe. This is my second time with the Three-Cup Chicken, and I quite like it.
