Here's my attempt at the Roast Chicken with Maple-Bourbon Pepper Glaze and Pecan Sweet Potatoes. Thank you Nothintoloose and Liamsaunt for the recipe. This was very good. (I added a sliced onion to the potatoes). If anyone else wants to try, the recipe is on page 14
If you want something a little healthy, here are some Quinoa Stuffed Peppers. I found this recipe on one of the blogs listed on the cooking blog thread. http://megpug.blogspot.com/
Haven't tried them yet, but they sure do smell good.

It all tasted very yummy. I got 3 meals out of the chicken. We had leftovers last night and then I shredded what was left added some of the remaining pecans and had it over salad greens for lunch today.nothintolose wrote:jayseadee - that recipe was all liamsaunt's - it was good though wasn't it???
Oh, my God those peppers look great too! Thanks for the link. I just put that recipe into my recipe file!
How did it all taste???

We had the peppers for dinner tonight. They tasted better than I expected
I think I will add some diced or crushed tomatoes next time - but I will definitely make them again.janet
I made something interesting for dinner last night. On Monday I made a spice paste from garlic, ginger, onions, garam masala, turmeric, chile powder, cilantro, cumin, etc. Then I took a whole chicken, poked it all over with a skewer, poured lemon juice on it, then rubbed all over with the spice paste. Last night I wrapped up the chicken in banana leaves and roasted it, opening up the leaves for the last half hour so it could get browned. It was really, really good—so juicy.
Here is a picture of some of it with the side dishes I made—cauliflower roasted in mustard oil with garlic, onion, mustard seeds, and nigella seeds, and a chickpea dish with tomatoes, onions, garlic, spices, etc. In the far back you can see a piece of naan, but I did not make that, I bought it at the local Indian grocery.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
I've made short ribs a couple of times for John...are you cooking them tonight? They take a long time to get tender--three hours or so.
I've had good luck with the recipe from the Balthazar cookbook, and also the recipe from Daniel. I have the Balthazar recipe at home, but here is a link to the Daniel version:

I am very proud of myself because for the first time I was able to make yummy potato gnocchi from scratch! Usually they come out gummy or leaden, but these were fluffy and light. Everybody loved them! The recipe is on the cover of this month's Food and Wine magazine if anyone wants to try it. This is the full recipe and it served me as a main dish and three other adults as a side:

After devouring a box of Godiva's on Valentine's Day, I thought I'd better do a little better this weekend.
I know oatmeal is supposed to be good for me, but I just can't get passed the texture. This Baked Oatmeal solves that problem. It's not firm enough to eat like a bar, but with a banana, fruit cocktail or raisins and non-fat yogurt, it's an easy breakfast. It freezes well, too.

Baked Oatmeal
Basic Pot Roast with mushrooms, onions, carrots and turnips; no added fat or flour
Continued the quinoa experiments.
Found this Turkey-Quinoa Meatloaf - pretty good as meatloaf goes

Served it with whipped cauliflower and peas

The previous pix on this page all look so delicious...
I thought I'd post a dinner I made Saturday night. I was craving STJ food, so made a "Sweet Plantains" dinner. First off, I served some mini crabcakes with some great tamarind hot sauce I bought from Ruth. (Susie's Hot Sauce, Tamarind Tango).
Then I served plantains with curried crabmeat, which is a recipe that Rose from Sweet Plantains' generously gave to me. (I think she's since changed the recipe; the one they serve now is quite red in color, and also very spicy.)
My tostones before they went in the oven for a second cooking:
Rose's crab spread before baking in oven:
I had a beautiful piece of cod and wanted to make a red curry sauce. I ended up mashing up some fresh coconut, ginger, red CA chili pepper, shallot, scallion, and garlic to form a paste..
Then I cooked it with some halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced onion, and chopped curry leaves:
Then I added a large can of crushed tomatoes that I pureed, and cooked it down a bit.
The end result was so so delicious..... My ISO was set too high, that's why it looks so grainy, but here's a picture....(I also made my curried rice parcels, recipe once posted here).
