Thursday dinner: roast chicken, salad with romaine, cucumbers, peas, avocado and a sprinkle of shredded Colby Jack, side of baby peas

Avocado salad with herbs and capers and I added a can of Albacore tuna because I needed protein. The salad on its own is just okay, but it provided a really nice backdrop for the tuna!

Raspberries & blueberries from the freezer, topped with plain whole milk yogurt and pistachios. (Looks like a lot of yogurt but it was only half a cup.)

Pork & Tomatillo Stew from The Whole30 Cookbook by Melissa Urban / Hartwig (I think she got married, some editions of her books still have her old name and some have the new one). I left out the potatoes, and used habanero instead of jalapeño (much less than the recipe calls for, as well). I've made this before and like it quite a bit, although this time I overdid it a bit on the radish & cabbage garnish and got tired of it lol

I didn't take a picture this time because it looks pretty much like last time. Sorry about that - this is supposed to be "with pictures." Forgive me.

I made another round of "Oven "Fried" Sweet Potatoes." This time I used hazelnut oil instead of olive oil. This time I seasoned with salt and pepper as usual plus Hatch green chile powder as my chile of choice. then I had the notion to also add some cinnamon.

The browned up nicely, and they got crisp but not burned. The sweetness of the potato along with the earthiness of the hazelnut oil and cinnamon really worked well together. I will do this again. I have a few more sweet potatoes in the pantry as well as a Japanese sweet potato. They are firmer. I might do something different with it.

Chicken Chowder from Keto Slow Cooker & One-Pot Meals by Martina Šlajerová. I left out the heavy cream this time because I'm watching my cholesterol, honestly it's great both ways. Doesn't look pretty but it is delicious comfort food. A staple at my house for those chilly, dark winter days when nothing will warm me up quite like a nice hot soup.

Green cabbage sautéed in butter & olive oil, with a little rosé wine and fresh dill. Plus grilled salmon (lemon and herb recipe) -- I used dill for the fish, as well. I was very happy with this combo. I made extra so I had a couple meals ready to go for the following days, however I finished all the salmon skin immediately with this first meal so it wouldn't go soggy, because that would have been a crying shame.

Ratatouille -- yum. Like a sunny summer day captured in a bowl. I made a big batch and ate this for breakfast several days in a row, together with a soft-boiled egg for protein.

Using up leftovers today. Friday dinner:
Chicken with veggie pasta Alfredo and what's left of the baby peas, sprinkle of grated parmesan

Eating in front of the fire because it looks like this outside...

We eat out on Fridays because the hubby feels it makes the weekend feel longer. We went to a traditional Chinese.

I will probably have some tonight, but it will be better tomorrow.

Split pea and barley soup with lots of garlic, serrano chile, carrots, celery, onion and herbs & spices. I really like my ceramic cast iron Dutch Oven.

Salad of layered mozarella and beets as well as avocado with cherry tomato with some serrano ham shavings scattered on top. Main of pan fried sea bass fillets on butter beans warmed up in chimmichuri. Side of sauteed green beans and mushroom

ohhhh YUM that looks amazing.

And now, in oven :-)

(The source here, then I modified a little - added also rosemary, sage and chive; used scallion instead of onion 'cause my mother is allergic; and added also carrots. And normal black olives instead of kalamata because I don't like kal. Serves five, with basmati - and bread for my son.)

Last Friday in a seafood restaurant we started with a salad of layered slices of fresh mozarella and beetroot scattered with rocket, anchovies and vinaigrette. It was terrific, with the combination of tart beets and salty protein offset by creaminess of mozarella. We first tried a version at home with smoked salmon instead of anchovies because that's what we happened to have in the fridge but the smoked was too subtle to stand up to the beet. This version with serrano ham captured the spirit better. Sliced beets replacing tomato in a caprese salad is astonishingly good.

I started with a nice salad. I started with a big bowl of mixed greens and added broccoli, celery, red onion, jicama, the first small handful of the first mung bean sprouts that I have grown in a while, and some nutritional yeast. I dressed it very lightly with Annie's shiitake vinegarette. I use half the recommended serving, and it's more than enough I like to dress just the lettuce and mix it with my hands. I turn on the water before I start so it's easy to wash it off my hands without making the faucet oily. It was delicious, but sorry - no picture.

While I was cutting vegetables, I was also preheating the convection oven to 425 so I could roast (oven fry) some potatoes with just a tiny bit of sunflower oil, Hatch green chile powder, salt, black pepper, and freshly minced rosemary from the garden. I had a few potatoes a friend gave me from a CSA that I've been wanting to cook before they got soft. Two small Peruvian purple potatoes, one small gold potato (looked like a gold potato to me) and one of these pink potatoes that her CSA grows. I have no idea what they are, but they sure are pretty.

Looked like this a few minutes ago. Now it just looks like an empty cobalt blue Fiestaware plate.

It's snowing in Arkansas, and I'm starving after being out in it lol. Spam, a very messed up fried egg, and waffles.
