What Else We’ve Been Eating This Weekend

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

Here's what else we've been eating this weekend: Thinly sliced t-bone steak and mushrooms Rosemary Garlic Roasted Rack of Lamb Italian Vegetable Sauté (made with red kidney beans instead of cannellini beans today) with chicken sausage

Baked Panko Breaded Shrimp

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

This easy recipe is very similar to the tonkatsu pork recipe. Baking reduces the fat. I just did these in our toaster oven so I wouldn't have to wait on the large oven for such a small recipe. They are quite bland, so after taking the picture ...

Turkey Meatballs and Braised Brussels Sprouts

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

Today's dinner was inspired by this one on AllRecipes. It was indeed fast, and I'm sure it would be kid friendly. Just the thing for a couple slightly upset tummies :-P I served this with some quick braised brussels sprouts. Since they were so small, I ...

Teriyaki Chicken with Mushrooms and Stir Fried Broccoli

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Teriyaki chicken with mushrooms and stir fried broccoli tonight :-)

Pork Tonkatsu and Singed Broccoli

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Tonight I made my pork tonkatsu and broiled some broccoli to go along with it. I managed to forget about it for an extra minute or two, and it got rather singed, which left an interesting flavor - not bad, but not something I'll replicate on purpose :-P ...

Simply Steamed Shrimp

Monday, February 14th, 2011

For our Valentine's Day treat, I steamed us some wonderful shrimp from the seafood counter at Central Market. These are 21/25 shrimp, meaning that there are between 21 and 25 shrimp per pound, flash frozen on the boat and shipped directly to the market. The only way you ...

Kusshi Oysters

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Another week of weight loss, another week of oysters for me :-) These briny little gems are Kusshi Oysters from Deep Bay on Vancouver Island in British Columbia just to our north. I quite enjoyed these, and found them fairly easy to shuck, but I was ...

Italian Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

I've done the Italian Stuffed Pork Loin before with a full pork loin, but today I did it with just a pork tenderloin, cutting the filling ingredients in half. It cooked in about 45 minutes instead of over an hour, and was just as good :-) ...

Biscuits and Hamburger Gravy

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

This was a quick hearty breakfast constructed from yesterdays leftovers - a leftover hamburger patty and a couple biscuits. It can easily be scaled up to serve more, browning meat from scratch and adding seasoning as you like. If you prefer a country gravy, just replace the beef ...

Black Bean and Ham Soup

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Tonight I made my black bean and ham soup, using up most of the leftover ham from a couple nights ago. This time, instead of onion powder, I grated a small onion and sautéed it in a little canola oil. The fresh addition was nice, so I've rewritten ...
