monavano Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Leftover grilled flank steak turned into fajitas tonight. I also made fresh salsa verde and "refried" black beans. I used Penzey's Taco Rojo sauce for the peppers, onions and beef. It didn't pack too great of a punch, so I added crushed cumin seeds. It was an unholy mess, but very tasty.

bettyjoan Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sunday night I made Jamie Coliver's "Perfect Roast Chicken." I was skeptical, but it was really good--the meat was juicy and the skin was nice and crisp. He roasts his bird with veggies, which were also mighty tasty. Monday night was Thai chicken curry, from America's Test Kitchen. Absolutely delicious, even though I royally screwed up the brown rice (I don't know what I was smoking, I make it nearly every other day with no problems). Thank goodness for leftover basmati rice! Last night was pork chops in a whiskey sauce with mashed sweet potatoes and steamed green beans, also from ATK. My parents swore up and down all holiday season that they didn't like sweet potatoes, but darned if these didn't change their minds. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not hit my stride with making brown rice, although I'm trying to eat it more. Basmati rice is my absolute favorite-it transfroms dishes! My dinner was similar to yours last night. I made center-cut pork chops with a Pom Shallot sauce (from Cooking Light), mashed Yukon potatoes and parsnips with a bit of cheddar, sour cream and half + half, sauteed string beans. Seared scallops with pineapple chutney was another winner from Cooking Light. The recipe called for Mahi Mahi, but Safeway had large scallops on sale, so I went with the shellfish. The sauce had a real kick from the addition of a habanero pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyjoan Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Healthy "fish sticks," from an episode of Elie Krieger's show that we happened to catch yesterday. It was basically flounder battered in homemade wheat breadcrumbs, which I didn't particularly care for. Not sure what the nutritional difference is between them and regular breadcrumbs or panko, but if it's negligible, I'll stick with the latter. The sauce was really nice--MUCH better than tartar, in my opinion. It had Greek yogurt, a little mayo, Dijon mustard, worcestershire, chives, and cayenne pepper. Yum.

monavano Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Chicken Vegetable/ Kitchen Sink soup-this soup is a hybrid of a chicken soup, minestrone, pasta fagiole and vegetable soup. I recently read about adding flavor to vegetable soup by adding a vegetable drink such as V-8. So, I thought, hmm..I have Toigo's Bloody Mary mix called "Hell Pain" or " Birth of Pain" or something (it's got a KICK), and I added a few glugs of that to impart tang and a bit of heat. I highly recommend. I also made potato dill bread-2 loaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monavano Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I pulled leftover pork and saurkraut from the freezer and made mashed potatoes with chives to accompany them. Fresh chives and hot potatoes are really amazing. I don't think that I ever really appreciated this until last night. The smell was heavenly.. just from adding chives. I've been making a concerted effort to utilize every bit of my fresh herbs when I buy them. When in doubt about using them to the end, I throw them into salad. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled a bag of brown herbs from my fridge and wind up kicking myself for wasting. Blueberry cobber with French Vanilla ice cream.

DanCole42 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 For some people, "grilling weather" is 90 degrees, sun shining, beer in hand, kids playing by the pool. For me, though, the heat of the grill is much more satisfying and comforting if I can contrast the heat with the nipply [sic] chill of January, and the orange flames with the nighttime sky. Something about being huddled around a warm fire with your back to the cold, then coming inside to the smell of bread baking.

cjsadler Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Beef Cheek Pierogi. Had these a couple years ago at Lola in Cleveland and loved them. Found the recipe online (for some reason, I can only pull up a cached version right now) from Michael Symon's new cookbook. Never made pierogi before, but the dough eventually worked great-- just needed to add about a 1/4 cup or so more flour than the recipe calls for in order to get a workable dough. I winged the braise, using all wine and no stock. Found the beef cheeks at the Arlington farmer's market this past Saturday. Also, his Spicy Tomato and Blue Cheese Soup. You might wonder about the combo of siracha, tomato, and blue cheese, but it works. Quick and easy-- the recipe is here. I like his ideas. I might have to buy this book. All with some Fog Cutter cocktails (a favorite drink of mine). Use the Trader Vic version on this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Also, his Spicy Tomato and Blue Cheese Soup. You might wonder about the combo of siracha, tomato, and blue cheese, but it works. Quick and easy-- the recipe is here. I've made this several times in the past couple of months. I like the combination too. My husband isn't fond of blue cheese, though. The first time I made it, he ate it, despite the presence of the cheese, but subsequently I've made it without the cheese and crumbled some into mine at serving time. I think he'd also like me to cut down some on the sriracha as well, but I'm holding firm on that one . Last night: Small bread and cheese board (sourdough baguette, brie, prosciutto) Chicken wings Baked shells with tomato sauce, ricotta, and baby mozzarella I coat the wings in seasoned flour and bake them. Then I douse them in my own version of wing sauce: butter, Frank's hot sauce, vinegar, and lime juice. Haven't made these in a while. They are good . My husband was starving and the pasta was ready first. As a result, he was fairly full by the time the wings were ready, so we have plenty of leftovers.
