July 20, 20205 yr Author One thing that sucks about going to the shore every weekend to help with the remodel is the fact I’m not doing as much grocery shopping. So I’ve been stuck with old recipes. "Let’s see, I got lettuce and peppers, I’ll do a spiced chicken salad”. Tonight? No salad. So I’ll make some turkey meatloaf, Brussel sprouts and some cauliflower rice. hopefully it settles down and we can try some new s***. Especially since we are trying to eat more fish.
July 22, 20205 yr Author And.... Brand new recipe!!! Schmoopie made Crispy Lemon-Thyme Cod Cakes (paleo, GF) for dinner These are different than the ones I posted on the first page since they have very little filler, almost all fish. Ingredients 1.3 pounds cod 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 eggs 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp fresh thyme, ( I removed the leaves from the stick until I had 1 tsp of thyme) 1 Tbs horseradish mustard 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 1/2 cup almond flour 1-1.5 Tbs olive oil Instructions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet in aluminum foil and put some olive oil on the surface of the aluminum foil. Place the tilapia filets on top and cook for 20 minutes. Once the cod is out of the oven and has cooled a little, use two forks to break apart the fish into little pieces. In a separate bowl, mix the lemon juice, eggs, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme together with a whisk until well blended. Then add the fish and 1/2 cup of almond flour to the mixture and mix well with a fork. Put 1 cup of almond flour on a plate. Using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop, scoop some of the fish mixture and form it into a pattie/ cake in your hands. Dunk the top and bottom of each cake in the almond flour mixture that is on the plate and then place the finished fish cakes on a separate plate. Put the fish cakes in the fridge for 30 minutes. Once the 30 minutes is up, heat 1 tbs (add more if you think you need it) of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook each fish cake for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes. Each side should be golden and crispy. Remove them from the pan and place on a paper towel before serving. Makes 8 fish cakes *Schmoopie added hanks dry rub both to the sauce mixture and the almond flour dip, used dry thyme in addition to the fresh and grated some lemon zest in addition to the lemon juice.
December 14, 20214 yr Author Doing Keto again. Last night made: Spoiler Quote MOZZARELLA-STUFFED MEATLOAVES INGREDIENTS (9 ITEMS) 10 oz Ground beef 2 oz Mozzarella cheese ¼ cup Tomato & roasted red pepper sauce (ground tomatoes [tomatoes, tomato puree, sea salt, citric acid], roasted red peppers [roasted red pepper, water, citric acid, sea salt], tomato paste [tomato paste, naturally derived citric acid], balsamic vinegar [balsamic vinegar, grape must], garlic, sea salt, Italian herb blend [spices (basil, rosemary, marjoram, oregano, thyme)], black pepper, ground fennel, ground coriander) 1 ½ tbsp Italian seasoning (spices (basil, rosemary, marjoram, oregano, thyme)) 4 ¼ oz Rainbow chard* 4 ¼ oz Cremini mushrooms ½ tsp Crushed red pepper flakes 1 medium Yellow onion ¼ oz Garlic 1 PREP VEGGIES Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut ends off yellow onion and discard peel. Halve lengthwise. Lay flat and slice lengthwise into about ¼-inch thick strips. Remove center stems from rainbow chard. Slice stems into about ¼-inch pieces. Roughly chop leaves. Wipe cremini mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Remove stems, if desired. Cut into about ¼-inch thick slices. Mince garlic. 2 MAKE MEATLOAF MIXTURE Place ground beef in a medium bowl. Add about 1 tablespoon of the tomato and roasted red pepper sauce. Season with Italian seasoning, about ¼ teaspoon salt, and about ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute seasoning. 3 FORM MEATLOAVES Form meatloaf mixture into two rectangular-shaped loaves, about 1-inch thick. Press half of the mozzarella cheese into the center of one meatloaf. Pinch to enclose the cheese. Repeat process with remaining meatloaf. 4 BAKE MEATLOAVES Place meatloaves on a lightly oiled foil-lined baking sheet. Spread remaining sauce over tops. Transfer baking sheet to oven. Roast 15-18 minutes, or until fully cooked.* *Take Note: Ground beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. 5 CARAMELIZE ONION Heat about 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion to hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir. Cook 3-4 minutes, or until onion begins to brown, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 2 tablespoons water. Stir. Cook 5-6 minutes, or until onion is lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. 6 SAUTÉ CHARD & MUSHROOMS Heat about 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add chard stems and mushrooms to hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir. Cook 5-6 minutes, or until veggies are tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes (to taste). Stir. Cook 1 minute. Add chard leaves and ¼ cup water. Stir. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until chard is tender and water cooks off, stirring occasionally. Salt and pepper to taste. 7 PLATE YOUR DISH Divide mozzarella-stuffed meatloaves between plates. Top with caramelized onion. Serve sautéed chard and mushrooms next to meatloaves. Now I've made this several times since the first version above. I've found a few things really work well with flavor and actual cooking: 1) Chop up fresh basil and add it to the meatloaf mix. 2) When folding the meat loaves, try to "pack" it to remove any seams. Additionally, where the two ends meet, even if you do a good job packing it, put that end on the bottom. You might be able to tell from the pictures the mozzarella burst out of the top of it. By doing those two things it hasn't happened since 3) For Keto, I have been skipping the caramelized onions. Instead, I have been topping it with fresh mozzarella roughly half way through cooking. Tomorrow I'm making: Spoiler Quote Ground Beef Casserole AKA Crackburger Casserole INGREDIENTS Olive oil spray for pan 2 lb. extra lean ground beef (93% lean) 1 teaspoon fine sea salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 4 oz reduced fat cream cheese, cubed 1 cup shredded cheddar, divided 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish INSTRUCTIONS 1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray a 2-quart casserole dish with olive oil and set it aside. 2.Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray it with olive oil. 3.Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat into small pieces, until meat is no longer raw, about 5 minutes. Drain the beef if you wish (I sometimes skip this step) and return to the skillet. 4.Reduce heat to medium. Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne into the beef, then slowly and patiently mix in the cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated. 5.Turn the heat off, and mix 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar into the beef mixture. 6.Transfer the mixture to the prepared 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar on top. 7.Bake the ground beef casserole until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.

July 8, 20223 yr 28 minutes ago, BFit said: i can make you one, but its all eye balled so i have no way of telling you how to make it I'd settle for a decent chili 'kit'. There was a pretty good one that we used to get at the store about 20 years ago, but I can't remember the name and I don't see it in the stores anymore, anyway. It came in a sort of brown bag package. I tried one that they did have and it wasn't all that good.

August 3, 20223 yr Resident chefs, When looking at air fryers / toaster oven combo appliances, countertop convection ovens often come up in the results. I'm well aware how to google, Ask Jeeves and whatnot, but I'm getting unsatisfactory, inconclusive, and contradictory answers as to the differences between the two. Any firsthand experience with either or both? Is one superior? More versatile? Please answer in verse.

Air fryers use circulated hot air, That's the same thing convection ovens do there, They both work the same, But one works more lame. An air fryers gunna work better.
