    We recently purchased a really nice All-Clad skillet, so we can pan-sear meats and finish them in the oven. So we had to find some yummy recipes to try. That led to discovering all kinds of fresh herbs and different ways to marinade. I cannot believe how much better steaks and pork chops taste cooked in that skillet! Even better than the grill.

    Now I want to throw out all our pans and replace them! LOL

    Whole Foods had organic collard greens on sale a while back, and ever since I've been chopping up a few slices of organic bacon into 1-inch slices, cooking them til they were almost crisp, then adding a bunch of collards (shredded) to the pan and sautéing it just until the collards are wilted. Then I add cracked black pepper and a splash of chili pepper vinegar (I made mine by adding a quartered fresh ghost pepper to a 12-oz bottle of red wine vinegar).

    I've eaten it as-is, and I've also served it combined with blackeyed peas and rice. Hey, I'm in Boston and buried under a hundred feet of snow, the least I can do is eat food that reminds me of warm climates!

    Currently I cant get enough of :

    Ricotta and Honey on toast

    Rockmelon - I've been know to eat over half a Kg of it per day. This is interchangeable with Watermelon.

    I found a jar of peanut butter mixed with maple syrup in my local grocery store yesterday. I think this will be my new favourite thing.

    I am so jealous of people with Anova sous vide machines!!

    My obsessions lately:

    Roasted broccoli - coat with a little healthy oil, sprinkle sea salt, and roast until the edges get a little brown and crispy. Like broccoli crackers or chips, I can't stop eating.

    AVOCADOES. All day every day

    Coconut oil - I love the flavor it adds to my stir-fry vegetables

    Kerrygold butter - how have I lived without giving myself such delicious butter??

    I've really gotten into Quinoa and Tofu. Baked tofu in the oven is yummy. Add in some stir fry veggies, and you have a complete meal! Also love Greek yogurt, and that powdered peanut butter- PB2.

    Curries - Indian, Thai, other...gotta be the perfect tastes, yet easy enough to cook in a reasonable amount of time.
    Chinese food - because it's delicious & healthy when made properly
    Smoothies - OJ, bananas, & strawberries are never wrong. Especially if they have yogurt to keep them company. Don't care HOW much snow is on the ground. It's *smoothie* time!

    pop tarts, but you HAVE to put them in the toaster. I've been eating them raw all these years, but the toaster makes all the difference in the world! :) s'mores pop tarts ftw! :D

    My current obsessions are with steel cut oats and making slow cooker oatmeal recipes. I am also doing a lot of experimenting with grains such a quinoa, bulgar wheat, and couscous. I am using more veggies like spaghetti squash and butternut squash in recipes.

    I just discovered okra and am currently experimenting with all the different ways of cooking it. I love it. It's like nutty courgette.

    I've also re-discovered Heinz Lentil Soup and can't get enough of it right now.

    Pickle that okra, you won't regret it!

    (then eat it with a bloody mary)

    Oooh, I never knew you could pickle it! I already pickle my own eggs and beetroot.. Gonna have to try that! Happy days :happy:

    Figured out a way to make chocolate egg custard with protein powder in the microwave - still working on getting them cooked just right. I have a tendency to cook them a little too long so they're more like pudding than just-set custard, but I can't believe how good they taste. Really chocolatey, not at all sweet (I use a lot of cocoa). Completely hides the protein powder.

    Made a cranberry & toasted almond & cranberry pilaf where I liked the taste, but not the lack of texture. Quinoa is just too small for me. Tried again this week with barley. Much better, but the recipe I used called for too much stock. I think the barley is too soft. I prefer al dente. Will need to try again.
