Whatcha Cooking today?

I’ve never been into rice and bean stuffed with bits of meat or whatever burritos. There’s proportions are all wrong and there’s too much filler and I don’t like them all commingled. Put the rice in one place on the plate and the beans in another. Give me some warm tortillas and if I want to put a little rice or beans with some meat in the tortilla, I’ll do it my way.

Kind of like sandwich wraps. Pretty much can’t stand those either.

I hear that.

To help alleviate myself of the stuffed burrito fiasco I'm making an old favorite.
This time is leftover lumpy buttery mashed potatoes.
I fried up some bacon ends and pieces and mixed them in too
Added two eggs some flour and a little baking powder.
Mashed potato version of kartoffelpuffers is on the menu.
Just prep cooking for later but the test one was out of this world.
It took me many tries and failures to perfect the fine art of making these critters.

Ooh, ooh. You need to take that mixture and stuff it into a deep fried, bread crumb-coated potato ball.

Not likely.
I done with carbohydrate stuffed carbohydrates.
Here they are all 5 of them.
4 will be tomorrow's drive to work breakfast, lunch and snacks eaten room temperature.
I also have some pablano chilies I need tending to, one turned bright red.
They'll be fried peppers.
And a hamburger steak to make later.

I decided to swap tracks and have stuffed pablano peppers.
Not confounded rice either.
Yet another pet peeve of mine, rice filler in stuffed peppers.

Hubby is cooking tonight. He does that sometimes and tonight it is his conchadoodle recipe, which really is just a fancy way of calling it goolash. His family called it conchadoodle while he grew up. Pasta sauce with bell pepper, onions, corn, cheese all mixed together then add the pasta to it. It is carb overload, lol.

I'm eating shrimp with soba noodles, wilted arugula.
Boiled the noodles, drained, added a little sesame oil and a dab of pepper pickle brine, fresh grated garlic, thawed shrimp tail removed, and the fresh cut arugula. Just heated enough to combine. Then doused in lemon juice.
I had a bag of lemons hanging on the wall in the porch, which froze solid last week. Gotta use em up before they decide it was all too much.

[worth1]

200 degrees and a long time later on warm the stuffed peppers were ready.
I also made peas and carrots with fresh carrots and frozen peas.
Obviously the carrots were already cooked long before I put the peas in.

Deep Fried chicken wings, garden spinach, arugula and red leaf lettuce salad tossed with strawberries tossed with ranch dressing, oven roasted fennel bulb.

I just couldn't let that wonderful beef tallow go to waste from the stuffed pablano peppers.
I salvaged it and toasted rice in it.
I added.
Knorr beef bullion powder.
Mexican oregano.
Comino/cumin.
New Mexico chilie powder.
A shot of Sriracha sauce.
To two cups of water and and tossed it in after the rice was toasted and cooked for 20 minutes.
The flavor is fantastic.
Its sort of a Mexican rice without all the tomato stuff I don't particularly care for.

Mexi corn.
Seriously.
The stuff they have in the can is ridiculous.
Bell peppers?
Parish the thought.
Now here I present to you the real Mexicorn or Texacorn.
Sort of.
Ingredients...
Frozen corn a bunch probably 4 cups.
New Mexico chilie powder tablespoon.
Cumin 1 tablespoon.
Knorr tomato bullion powder tablespoon or maybe 2 teaspoons
1 finely chopped habanero.
1 small can of tomatoes and chilies.
1 stick of butter.
1 teaspoon of soy sauce.
1 tablespoon of Mexican oregano.
Cook corn in butter and add the rest of the stuff.
Cook awhile uncovered to get rid of excess liquid.
Eat.
Mine is complimenting a hamburger steak.

Another hubby favorite and he doesn't get it often, I hate frying chicken, lol.

Fried chicken, mashed taters and gravy, corn, and a salad from the garden with lettuce, radishes, green onions and some store bought tomato with avocado. He's happy.

On a side note, does anyone have a recipe to use up the egg wash I have leftover, I have way too much to just toss. I am thinking scrambled eggs in the morning, I mean it will kill the salmonella in it, if it doesn't I shouldn't be frying chicken, lol. I was just hoping for something better than just scrambled eggs.

[pepperhead212]

I had some broccoli florets to use up, along with some red bell peppers, so I made a one dish salad, using those, and some barley and channa dal, and I made some pesto, from the hydroponics basil. I also added some garlic chives at the end, which are starting to grow out there now. I cooked it all in the Instant Pot, the barley first, then the dal, then just steamed the broccoli, while getting the rest of the ingredients ready.

Add more egg possibly, but quiche is one thing, or chicken egg drop soup or fried rice. It can also be frozen for later use. Make a cake or a custard.

Last of the fennel got oven roasted and then tossed with lemon zest, sweated shallots, garlic, oregano, and linguine sauced with a little cream and reserved pasta water. Topped with pecorino romano.

[worth1]

Tonight I'm taking chili down a road no man has gone before.
About a pound or more of ground chuck.
2 big chopped red onions.
5 peeled roma tomatoes chopped in 6ths.
2 chopped habaneros.
2 tablespoons Knorr tomato bullion powder.
Big handful of San Antonio chili powder.
Half handful cumin.
2 tablespoons garlic powder.
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning.
Half handful sweet paprika.
A cup of water after the meat is browned and the stuff added except tomatoes.

Next two cups of salted water with 1 cup of lentils added.
Cook for about 20 minutes and put them in with the chopped tomatoes.
Let simmer on low until you can't wait anymore.
Might need another cuo of water.
Not salty enough add a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce.
The lintel thing just came out of nowhere.
Better than beans.

Had mine with shell pasta because I had a bag opened.

We had angus burgers topped with thinned radishes, bread and butter pickle chips, tomato, cheese, and slathered with mayo. I served rally's fries air fried in the ninja with it, then I promptly dropped mine on the floor, lol. Hmm, well hubby enjoyed dinner.
