Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I use a pack of the instant yeast
3.5 to 4 cups of bread flour
1/2 pound of dry garbanzo beans, soaked, cooked and pureed with enough water
2 teaspoons of sugar
salt
I mix dry ingredients together, then mix in the puree beans, then add water just enough to kneed the dough to a smooth texture. Then I let it rise in the fridge overnight.
I would love to know how you make your tamales if you can share the recipe. I made tamales a couple of times, but they always came out dry and hard. I think I have to use fresh maize dough. I also have trouble with the sauce which didn't taste authentic.
I have stuff in the freezer that's been in there for a few months...time to start using that up. Guess I'll be doing some cooking over the next few days.
This man is single and eats out for every meal. Both he and hubs are loving it, as hubs loves showing off his cooking skills and the guy can relax and not have to eat out. We get the extra portions for our dinner.
Tonight's entree will be sautéed fish, beets, broccoli, garlic ciabatta bread and apple crumb pie.
Our neighbor likes to eat healthy so maybe hubs and I will loose a few pounds. (Wishful thinking!)
I love spicy v-8.
We make homemade tamales every few months. People order them from us as well. They are good. I makes beans and rice tamales for myself. Don't eat the meat ones.
Hope you all are having a good night.
Homemade tamales. MMMM! Not made by me. There is a man that comes by the office every few months, then delivers the next day. They were absolutely wonderful. Now for the Blue Bunny chocolate mini drumstick things. Have to have chocolate after Mexican.
Then there are days like Monday, where I get into a cooking frenzy - made crack slaw (which is like a low-carb hamburger stirfry with shredded cabbage, hamburger and stirfry seasonings), then made a good size batch of low-carb marinara sauce with meat and froze it, then cooked a whole chicken overnight in the crockpot and tossed veggies into it in the morning for some good broth and chicken.
I still have another package of shredded coleslaw mix, so I might make some LC bacon-fried cabbage. YUM.
Lately dinner consists of cheese and crackers. I will have to see what I can do for tonight.:-)
We had breakfast for dinner last night Becky...It was just so-so.I made a ham and cheese omelet,fried potatoes and waffles.My dH lapped it up,even said it was good surprisingly.
Tonight I made macaroni and cheese and leftover meatloaf sandwiches.
Easy and filling.
Bruschetta with goat cheese and asparagus
Mixed greens salad
Steak that melted like butter with bourbon glazed carrots, English peas and mashed potatoes
