I made the juices into a gravy, and served it with a spinach salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing and wheat toast.<br /> Tonight I am making a meatball soup, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511762 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:18:17 +0000 Anonymous 511762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I made lemon chicken , the simplest of recipies and we ate it with lentil stew and "baked peppers". ( These are peppers fryed withoud grease on a metal sheet and then marinated in vinegar and oil with mustard beans and other condiments. My future MIL made these for us in the autumn) . This day we ete omelette and salad at breakfast, we ate out at lunch and at the dinner we finished the yesterday's peppers. Pretty easy and low cook weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511541 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:37:37 +0000 DeniseP 511541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Making a pot of potato soup, cause it's actually cold here in Georgia for a change!<br /> We like it with homemade bacon bits, cheddar cheese and sour cream on top. Served with french baguette, butter and garlic.</p> <p>Nancylee, your comment tickled me that the empty nest has its perks -- not cooking every day! We love that too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511387 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:53:52 +0000 citygirldc 511387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just made low-fat cranberry lemon muffins this morning. I stock up on cranberries every fall so I can bake throughout the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511371 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:06:28 +0000 nancylee 511371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DS went back to college Saturday, so we are empty nesters once again. DH heated up a bowl of leftover chicken soup I'd made the day before (he's trying to lose weight), while I had some bruschetta and olives with a glass of wine!</p> <p>The empty nest has it perks. You don't have to cook every night! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511368 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:52:56 +0000 Inge 511368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This all sounds delicious.

Yesterday I made a roast tomato sauce to have with pasta, a rhubarb compote for breakfasts and a saltana loaf for snacks during the week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511326 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 07:33:23 +0000 Scarlet 511326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roasted pork with potatoes and broccoli.

Yum.</p> <p>And then, because that wasn't enough, I made double chocolate brownies.</p> <p>Clearly, my new year's resolution to eat more sensibly isn't working out so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511308 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 05:46:57 +0000 qfbrenda 511308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all make pretty fancy stuff! It sounds yummy.</p> <p>For dinner, I made red lentil sausage soup with veggies and brown rice. I also made whole wheat bread and froze several loaves. I make 6 loaves at a time in a large mixer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511292 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:58:54 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 511292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was pizza and beer for me too but it was homemade pizza. I made the dough yesterday and let it rise in the fridge overnight. topped with my own pizza sauce, whole milk mozzarella, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts and pepperoni. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511289 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:42:33 +0000 elpgal 511289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Breakfast: Dosa with tomato chutney *Waves at C1*<br /> <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204644504576651111146430864.html" rel="nofollow">http://online.wsj.com/article/.....30864.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511284 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:29:39 +0000 kellygirl 511284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm, C1 that looks delicious. I am wondering what it tastes like. Khris, your frittata sounds yummy too. I've never thought about freezing eggs--that's a great idea. Diana, I envy your dinner. DH won't even let me bring kimchee in the house. I have to eat it in the garage.</p> <p>I made chicken soup with celery, green onions, stewed tomatoes, corn and carrots. It's a great warm you up kind of meal. I like it with crushed tortilla chips on top. I also made "Homey Apple Bundt cake" with walnuts. </p> <p>My new favorite breakfast is oatmeal with egg whites and raisins. Has anyone tried that? OMG, I can't wait to get up in the morning to eat it. Gosh, I'm so food oriented. I wish I didn't love it so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511281 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:25:06 +0000 Sally 511281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I make Idli sometimes and dosa.(indian husband and son always wanting it so I had to learn to make it). I can't make sambar that well so usually serve with peanut chutney and dahl.<br /> I made vege and chicken stirfry for lunch. I'm making salmon kebabs for dinner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511280 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:23:48 +0000 lyn* 511280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love soup! I highly recommend mushroom soup </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511277 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:21:36 +0000 Makrame 511277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good topic! I always cook a bunch of stuff on the weekend so that we have something to eat during the week. Today I baked salmon that we will use cold in a salad during the week, made a dish called walnut chicken (sort of like orange chicken) that we ate almost completely, and an Italian-style stew from beef shanks. DH is asking me to make a mushroom soup tomorrow (waving at Lyn). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511276 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:20:26 +0000 Diana 511276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>C1: Yum! Idly is delicious! Sadly, my Indian friend at work moved back to India so she no longer brings me delicious things like idly at lunch...</p> <p>This evening, I made Kimchi Jigae (Korean kimchi and tofu stew) for dinner since I was having a craving for it. I'm planning on making Chinese pan-friend buns (like the steamed ones but you make them in a skillet instead of a steamer) tomorrow, and maybe some type of baked good. I've also made chili, beef stew, and burritos in the past week, among other things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511274 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:17:55 +0000 Mo 511274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. Wore all my fleur de lis and it didn't help Was a good game, though.<br /> You guys are all miles ahead of me in the kitchen. If it isn't edible within 30 minutes, I am not the one making it. Luckily my BF is a great cook and actually likes it. What a foreign concept! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511270 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:15:13 +0000 crazyone 511270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>happy birthday, Khris! That frittata sounds really good. I've been getting into making omelets more frequently, but I haven't yet tried to make a frittata, but I want to. </p> <p>Mo, pizza's always good to me Did you see the crazy Niners-Saints game? I happened to tune into the last 7 minutes and whoa was that something to watch. </p> <p>Lyn*, soups are always so good in the middle of winter...it's finally getting cold here, perhaps I'll make some soup myself, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511262 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:09:25 +0000 lyn* 511262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made myself mushroom soup </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511260 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:08:18 +0000 Mo 511260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, Pizza Hut. It's football!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511253 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 03:59:12 +0000 chewyspaghetti 511253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds yummy!<br /> I actually haven't cooked anything yesterday or today because it's my birthday. Yesterday, hubby brought dinner home, and today my parents took me out to eat. I did make a nice Fritata this week and freeze it in slices so that I could have it for breakfast. I used onion, mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini suateed in white wine and grape tomatoes, smoked Gouda cheese cracked black pepper and sea salt. It was a great idea, and I am going to try and keep remembering to do this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cooking#post-511229 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 03:38:37 +0000 crazyone 511229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done a fair amount of cooking/baking in the last 36 hours, so I thought it would be fun to share what we've been making recently.</p> <p>Yesterday I made idly, a spongy fermented rice/lentil cake, and two traditional accompaniments: sambar (a vegetable stew of sorts) and coconut chutney </p> <p>not my picture, but for reference: <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LlQ8JlAkgRM/Sm4wm5gzczI/AAAAAAAADyE/vbX3o6wvKP0/s400/Idli+Sambar+Chutney.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LlQ8.....hutney.JPG</a></p> <p>today I baked a pumpkin cheesecake (haven't had it yet, it's cooling in the fridge), which sadly cracked. I wanted to do the water bath method but couldn't find a pan big enough to fit the springform! and it's a "low-fat" cheesecake, using neufchatel and cottage cheese (you run the cottage cheese through the food processor to make it smooth), so I'm quite curious to see how it tastes!</p> <p>And I also made carrot onion fritters for dinner. </p> <p>Over to you! </p>
