Attempted to recreate something I once ate at a restaurant. Oatmeal risotto made with dashi and cream cheese served with fried sea bream and skin crisped up separately in the air fryer. Side of sea bream tiradito which was seared tataki style. I forgot to photograph the salsa verde which gave a fresh acidic accent to the risotto and roast Belgian endive.

I’ve been putting together a lot of “ bowl” meals. This one has mixed greens including massaged kale, wild rice mix with sweet potatoes, shrimp and teardrop peppers with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

On advice from @acpgee I bought a couple of celeriac (celery root) last week to try, probably in a soup form. Well, it's been a hectic week, and I hadn't gotten to that. However, tonight, in advance of an after-dinner zoom training, I made quickie baked "celeriac fries" ("chips" in the UK) as a side to my main. I still have one for soup or other purposes.
Quick, easy prep, easy cook (390F in my oven at convection-on setting), 30 minutes. Major flavoring is smoked paprika. Many recipes for different preps online and on youtube. This version tasted good, vaguely celery-like; the recipe advised that ketchup helps, and it added a french-fry quality to them.
Thanks for the heads' up, @acpgee ... by the way, my grocery imports these from Holland.

In Holland at this time of year celeriac would be an indispensable ingredient in snert (=split pea soup). My Dutch hubby always complains if I skip it.2 -

Very interesting. I was going to add a pea soup to my "soupJanuary" rotation, but didn't. While peas are an essential food group in an of themselves to me, my wife isn't overly fond.
I found a vegan snert recipe I might give a try, since I do have a bag of dried split peas ... https://www.stirlinghealthfoodstore.co.uk/recipes/16237/dutch-split-pea-soup.htm
I'll let you know how it turns out.

A new favorite of mine is split pea and barley soup. It's really easy to make. I add a LOT of garlic, a couple carrots, a chopped onion, and a hot chile. I think last time I added a few mushrooms. A pound of peas a half cup of barley, and of course a bunch of cumin and some bay leaves from my yard. I use Better Than Bullion instead of salt. I usually add sage.
Cook the peas, barley, bullion, and bay leaves about 20 minutes, then add all the vegetables & herbs/spices, and cook another 25 to 30 minutes. That's it. Adjust salt to taste. Very hearty, and not low-calorie, and very delicious.
I've never added celeriac, but it would probably be good! I bet if you wanted more meat, some smoked ham would work well, but I just make it meat-free.2 -
Lunch - shredded cabbage and carrots sautéed with garlic oil, ginger, turmeric and soy sauce, a squirt of sriracha and a sprinkle of black sesame. Yummy and satisfying for under 300cal

Classic snert is garnished with celery leaves instead of parsley. I’ve never had it served with cheese which the Dutch hubby snorted as being ludicrous. Recipe looks pretty good otherwise. A test of good snert is that a wooden spoon should stand up in it. Vegetarian bacon bits might be a more traditional tasting vegan substitute than tofu.2 -
Visiting my mom. If is hard to find a restaurant meal in suburban Ottawa after 20:00. Dinner at Swiss Cottage.

I'm fully omnivorous, but walking a lot on the plant-based/lower-processed side of the fence for some dietary goals in this new year. I thought the cheese was odd too, LOL. I usually get full celery at the grocer, with leaves, and use them, but the bunches looked poor this past shopping trip and I got trimmed hearts instead. Thanks for the hints.

My first time cooking salmon. It turned out perfect and was absolutely delicious. I’ve always been too nervous to cook salmon because it doesn’t take much to overcook it.

Dinner with mom at her care home. It wasn’t too bad for mass catering. It’s sweet that the hubby already says he misses my cooking.

Not a typo; I just don't know how to spell bouillon . Now I want a bunch of bullion.....
The soup was so good that I made another meal out of it. I even ate it cold with some yogurt instead of heating it back up. It's tasty when cold just like when hot. It's something that I could eat in the summer!
I think I might soak some beans tonight.2 -

Dinner at mom’s retirement home. On previous visits we would go to restaurants occasionally but she has gotten too lethargic for that.

@acpgee I can't figure out what this is... sweet dumplings with caramel sauce and ice cream? Meatballs with mashed potatoes? Intriguing
