Roast sirloin tip, mashed potatoes, gravy, roasted carrots and onions, brussels sprouts. Cinnamon pb cookies for dessert. Due to my various issues I had the meat, gravy. carrots and tried brussels sprouts again. This morning I don't think the brussels sprouts were a good idea. 🙁
I used to have a cast iron stomach but no more. I tried coffee again after a week off and seem ok with it this morning. 🤞 The joys of aging!!!
Fall-off-the-bones ribs tonight and a baked potato for R. Strawberry, spinach, slivered almond's salad. Got some great strawberries this afternoon.
I wish are Thanks Giving was earlier, we go from Halloween, to Thanks Giving to Christmas.
A box of chicken stuffing, on the bottom, pork chops on top.
Bake in the oven
I've tried the baking soda trick which I think has helped a little. If I know him he will eat the soup anyway.
psue -what surprised me about the peanut butter is that is took away any scorched taste which is hard to get rid of. It apparently works for soups, stews or chili. I have only ever tried it in pea soup.
Golden, who would have thought to put peanut butter into pea soup? But it makes sense in a weird, legume-y way.
I once found a good trick online and I will share it here. I had slightly scorched some pea soup and found that a dollop of peanut butter takes away the scorched taste and doesn't affect the taste of the soup. Worked well.
nacy - I found a great recipe for the not so tender but not pot roast beef, https://www.spendwithpennies.com/perfect-sirloin-tip-roast/
I did a sirloin tip following it and the roast was perfect. Couldn't have been better.
I think my yellow split peas are too dry. I soaked them overnight and they didn't absorb all the water which they usually do. I'm simmering them without and veggies or seasonings to see if they will soften. I have had a few batches over the years which never did soften and had to be thrown out. Darn it!!!!
I'm actually cooking a roast later. They are often tough, so Internet says , to sear it on each side first, to hold the juices in, then cook it at like 180 for 3 hours.
I'm gonna try it.
Also, up until 2 months ago I had been without a real kitchen for almost a year. I’m out of practice and I am loathe to dirty my sparkly new range!
I draw the line at carrot juice. Someone I worked with once overdid it and came in with a good "tan" and orange palms.
Psue - the air fried carrots sound lovely. I don't have an air fryer yet. I tend to fall back on the things we had at home -fry pans, pots and an oven, though I do use my food processor. R is getting his turkey roaster out of storage for our Thanksgiving turkey. I've only ever used a regular oven. Cream of carrot soup would be great for R. I can't do the cream. I'm soaking peas tonight for pea soup - which will have carrots, and celery, and thyme and smoked beef a la newfie jiggs dinner leftovers (smoked ham hocks and salt beef - sort of a combination).
R had a strawberry, spinach, sliced almonds, croutons salad, brown rice and the salmon. I had munched my way through some strawberries, grape tomatoes and nuts while unpacking the groceries so I didn't need supper.
The new chocolate flavour today was 5 Chile Bullet. It does clear the sinuses.
A sweet vegetable, can help with inflammation.
Carrots, tumeric, ginger, lemon.
I have a good juicer, somewhere.
Do not need to peel them.
Always felt bad throwing out all of the solid-it looks like the ingredients of a pumpkin pie.
Peasuep,
You must be a good cook with those suggestions!
Golden, jumbo carrots, peeled, cut lengthwise, rubbed with coconut oil and sprinkled with a flaky salt, air fried until al dente’ and browned. Not a full meal but delicious. Would go great with your overpriced salmon!
How about cream of carrot and fresh parsley soup with a sour cream drizzle?
Split Pea soup with lots and lots of carrot ‘coins’?
Nacy, carrot cake with everything; coconut, pineapple, currants. Dense and dark, and whipped cream with a little sour cream or sheep cheese stirred in to brighten it; minimal powdered sugar. Oh.
WHAT?
You plant the carrot cake, then must dig it up?
I like the carrots that are served with Beef Wellington.
Sliced at a slant, baked/roasted with the beef and potatoes.
Great natural sauce.
Since that will never happen here, I put all the carrots in the crisper, outta sight, outta mind. I tried just baking the carrots one night, and reported here the outcome was they were spoiled left out overnight. Forgot to serve them.
I cannot stand at the sink and peel carrots.
This week I have an episode of gout with so much pain I cannot walk.
Reminds me, thanks. We could have carrots for dinner.
And they will go with the small piece of salmon I was overcharged for - $39.66 for a piece that was marked $9.60. Yes, I have complained and asked for a refund.
I see carrot fritters in the future, carrot salad, roasted carrots, mashed carrots, carrot cookies, pickled carrots, carrot soup and just plain old raw carrots which I love and more. Fortunately it is getting cooler, but not freezing, so they can stay on the balcony for a while as I figure out what to do with them. Perhaps some to R's horses.
Send, what is it about carrots???
Nacy and ITRR - I love cooking too. Good thing with all these carrots around!
Ana - that's cute!!!
Psue - getting the fire pit going sounds awesome. An aunt had a large lot and a fire pit. She used to buy flank steaks on sale and store them in the freezer, When she had enough she invited lots of us over and we cooked them on the grill over the firepit. Great memories!!!
After Friday I will have ingredients for several hearty, old-timey casseroles - I’ve really been craving them since it’s started to get chilly at night. We’ll get the fire pit going this weekend when GD is here. She and her GF can gorge on S’mores while my daughter and I enjoy a craft Pumpkin Ale. I love Autumn!
Keep your hubby happy.
When he's a little chubby,
He's a happy pappy.
With Rockenschpeel! 🎶
“The Happy Household” episode of The Flintstones
Makes my husband happy too. 😂
Golden, I don’t know which would be worse, not being able to taste it or not being able to eat it due to health reasons.
Nacy, can you add something like a spoonful of good quality instant coffee or hersheys syrup to your protein drinks? When DH was recovering from heart surgery I would blend one with a frozen banana and a spoonful of peanut butter.
Tonight, taco salad again. It’s a staple for us. Sadly, avocados haven’t been good lately so that’s probably it for them this year. I’d choose an avocado with lemon pepper over chocolate any day!
