Place a chicken breast on a large piece of foil. Liberally sprinkle (chicken, not the foil) with pepper, ginger, garlic, dash of sugar. Add cream, soy sauce, top with chopped green onion. I use the entire bunch. Draw foil up and over, make a pouch. Bake @ 350. Serve with sauteed mushrooms.
The new one. You'll never find another sure thing unless you try it.
Fresh from the field. Shuck. Walk it directly to the cooking pot. Boil. 3 minutes, tops. Butter. Kosher salt. Perfection. Pure bliss.
In my opinion milk, as a drink, should be abolished. I didn't like it as an infant either, so please don't give me grief about growing bones/aging bones or small children! Cottage cheese would be next to go -- I refuse to ingest anything that looks like spit-up. I have yet to taste sushi (and probably won't) and although I still enjoy an occasional piece of bacon, I'm eating less and less meat these days. Other than that -- no, wait! bananas have a 5-minute window of eating opportunity, then they become bread or they're trashed -- I'm as fair-minded about food as anyone. No, wait! Did I mention mayonnaise?
I like Snickers ice cream bars, and I'm also partial to Skinny Cow fudge bars. But nothing beats Talenti Belgian milk chocolate gelato (double dark is not yet available in my area).
Not many choices available here. But a nice, warm Einstein Bros tastes very good.
@brooke29 ... Thank you too! All this reassurance is just the excuse I need to buy a Braun. I've been coveting a stick blender for a long time.
@holdthemayo ... Thank you for the info! Transferring hot soups to a blender, returning them to the pot gets tedious. Still, Le Creuset is my pot of choice. Off to Google Braun, thanks again!
"... I forgot to mention that my older model Braun, which is plastic, has been used in hot soups, etc. with no adverse effects to the blender..." What about adverse effects to the pot? Lots of good recommendations, but I'm scared a stick blender will scratch my Le Creuset. Can anyone recommend one that will not?
...Parmesan cheese and a 'southwestern' spice mixture are added along with the butter...it sure works for a local vendor I find at festivals and sports events (they'll sell you containers of the spice here, tho I think most of you can come up with your own)
If I am eating by myself, I almost always make a meal that involves sauteed onion, green bell pepper and mushrooms. Whether I combine that with baked chicken breast or in a half-assed frittata is generally the only thing I have to make a decision about. I usually use goat cheese as a nice addition, and use sriracha as a condiment.
Spaghetti stir-fried with onions and sliced ham, with soy sauce and butter.
toast or crackers, easy over egg, with spaghetti sauce and cheese.
tomato eggs and rice
mmmm life of a college student
OMG I was just thinking about bagels the other day. I loved Bruegger's Bagels. I loved the bagel with all the toppings with their chicken salad and harvarti cheese (the best chicken salad I ever had), but they pulled all the Bruegger's out of Washington state (sniff sniff). I would pay for everything if someone would overnight me a big tub of the chicken salad from Bruegger's?
this week i've made mario's pasta pomodoro twice in a row and would have made it again last night but i got home late and had an unexpected visitor.
it's so wonderful: saute some chopped garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes until they're brown in the inevitable EVOO, then add a handful of halved sungold cherry tomatoes and stir it around for a minute. add a handful of chopped basil. throw it on top of some noodles along with some grated parmesan.
if i don't eat an enormous salad before i sit down to this, forget about it... i'll eat until i'm coma
maybe a tostada, with ezekial torilla - maybe beans -- definitely avocado, cheese, lots of chopped lettuce and tomatoes, scallions & hot sauce....
excellent!!!! and easy.
a bowl of brown rice with veggies.... very satisfying....
Dinners alone usually give me a chance to cook all the things my boyfriend hates. I once ate an entire pan of roasted brussells sprouts for dinner. Other delicious meals have included a big bowl of mussels in white wine and garlic broth, pasta puttanesca (capers AND anchovies---heavenly!), and the occasional container of cottage cheese.
Still, the ultimate dinner for one is a fat heirloom tomato, a ball of burrata cheese, and a crusty chunk of bread, with lots of olive oil and a little bit of salt. Luckily, the boyfriend agrees with me on this one, so I don't have to wait for a night alone to eat it!
Oh God, I usually just make enough for two, say I'll save half in the fridge, then end up eating way more than one person ever should. BAD NEWS
Jello? okay BUT......as vodka shooters!!!! I like poultry and pork only (except at times ham if it is too salty). My dislikes are red meat (I don't know why), organ meats, and anything gamey, but love blood sausage, headcheese, pepperoni, smoked sausage bolona, thuringer ect. Dislike all fish (except smoked salmon I like). I dislike oysters (except smoked in stuffing or once in awhile on pizza), clams and mussels. But I like scallops, shrimp, crab and lobster. I love all sorts of salsas (heat rules) but dislike the sharpness in horseradish sauce or wasabi. I dislike any raw tomatos, but love tomatos IF cooked. As for pastry I dislike bearclaws and fruitcake. Dairy I pretty much love everything. Fruits (except tomatos) I like everything. Veggies love all. Love all breads. Legumes, pastas and rice I like in small doses. As far as a certain country fare, nope I like it all, but my favorite would have to be Mexican with Vietnamese or Indian close behind. Least favorite, any country where the majority of their dishes are bland. Let you leave that up to y'all's imagination lol.
