Feel free to add to an older post until the new one comes up, and start taking/saving pictures of beautiful food you make or see for next weekend's post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pictures-3#post-1782486 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 04:22:23 +0000 Carla 1782486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echo! DS#1 (the foodie) says your version - with the peppers, is Spanish in origin. Italian's use onion, celery, and garlic. This is all pretty general, however. He makes a soup that subs out the celery and uses fennel! </p> <p>My SIL put her veg through the food processor, and her veggie averse children were none the wiser! :-)</p> <p>Emily, your cauliflower looks yummy! I put raw cauliflower through the food processor until it looks like rice. Microwave it for 8 min. and serve it under curry. I'll also make mashed potatoes with 1/4 part cauliflower. Makes for a fluffier mash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pictures-3#post-1782432 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:39:03 +0000 Echo 1782432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What wonderful pictures! Emily K, I love dal. Carla, I commonly use the "trinity" of onion, celery and peppers, though I add carrots for things like shepherd's pie, too. Actually, I have recently started to put veggies in the blender or bullet so they're completely invisible in things like soup. The kids love the flavor, and never have any idea that they're eating more healthfully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pictures-3#post-1782422 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 23:18:42 +0000 Emily K 1782422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe not the most appetizing photos ever seen, but super yummy (always--these are dinner staples, for me) oven roasted cauliflower and dal made with pink lentils. I'd planned to add the cauliflower into the dal, but I ate half the pan already. Ooops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pictures-3#post-1780906 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 00:13:33 +0000 Marilyn 1780906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just recently heard the term "mirepoix" while watching Jamie Oliver.&nbsp; Looks like a wonderful base for delicious meals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pictures-3#post-1780413 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 19:12:28 +0000 Anonymous 1780413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True confession - both the Whole Foods and Trader Joes near me sell mirepoix pre-chopped, as well as separate containers of chopped onion, celery and carrot. &nbsp;I will never chop my own again, absent having some odds and ends in the 'fridge that need to be used.<br />And <b>Eliza</b> is right - you have a very neat chop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pictures-3#post-1780257 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 23:32:38 +0000 Eliza 1780257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see your lovely mirepoix, Carla. You have a very neat chop. I rarely take photos of my food prep, but I do like to remember special dinners out with a photo on occasion. I love to cook, more now that I am no longer running kids around from 2- 7 pm. Enjoy your results and thanks for sharing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pictures-3#post-1780087 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 10:18:49 +0000 Inge 1780087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! Just look at those colours! I bet your shepherd's pie was delicious! (How could something based on a mirepoix like this not turn out delicious:-)<br />I often use this for soups too, Carla.</p> <p>I haven't got much to show for myself this time, haven't been taking many pics. I do have one of a nice chervil soup I made for lunch last week (served with brown bread and cheese).</p> <p>P.S. I love that this is becoming a regular thread!-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pictures-3#post-1780059 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 04:05:50 +0000 Carla 1780059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a 'scratch' cook, and for many items ranging from soups to meat pies, I start with a base of finely chopped vegetables - onions, celery, and carrots. My foodie eldest son introduced me to the term 'mirepoix' for this mix of 'sweated' vegetables. Apparently every culture has a variation. He says my onion, celery, carrot version is French. Mine went into a shepherds pie. </p> <p>The new crock pot is seeing a lot action - this past week I made a pork shoulder that worked out wonderfully. </p> <p>Did you make anything interesting recently? Please post pics. </p>
