I made another batch of that jambalaya, this time using some cut up smoked beef kielbasa, in place of the usual ham I use. And this time I put some shrimp in at the end, for the one serving, and I'll add more for each serving I reheat - this way it doesn't turn to rubber. I didn't have any...

I made something today to have with the leftovers from that chole masala. While not really a pickle, I guess they called it this, due to the sugar and salt preserving it. Based on a recipe from Cradle Of Flavor, by James Oseland, with some tweaks. It is a favorite side dish of mine to serve...

So is anyone else making chili, or just Maragitas? :LOL: I have some chili cooking - already smelling fantastic! I can't call it Texas chili, since it will have some beans in it, but it's the same style. I made some chili today, but no Margaritas - maybe if I had someone to help me with the...

Here's that recipe in the brownie forum, as you suggested, @GotGarlic : Today is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day! I normally don't make things like that, unless I'm taking it somewhere - otherwise, I eat them all in a short amount of time! But I decided to make some for myself, with my BD...

I made another one of those jambalaya type dishes I made a few weeks ago with canned salmon, but this time I cut up some frozen whiting, I cut a few cubes of, and steamed, for the first serving. I'll do same when I re-heat each time. It was almost as good as shrimp would have been in it! I...

Last night, I made a dill leaf curry, with some butternut and sweet potato, and some greens - some of those hydroponics greens, from a few days ago. The butternut was not the most ripe, as I picked it green, back in November! I started it in the Instant Pot, sautéeing a diced onion and...

Or did we all just eat the leftovers, while watching football? :lol: Sunday, I cooked a dish in the Instant Pot I did a while back, based on a recipe in the Milk Street cookbook Fast and Slow - Black Beans With Bacon And Tequila - but made some changes this time. First, I added a sprig of...

I figured that it was time to start a thread for this year's garden, though a lot of these are still from last year's garden! I have been using the leaf lettuce from 3 plants that simply have not figured out that it's winter, and the dill is still growing in that same container. And in my...

I took a break from making cookie dough, and made a delicious recipe today, that was definitely one of those "random recipes". I wasn't sure what I was going to make, just started with cooking some diced up bacon (just put a bunch in the freezer today, and took out the oldest, to use it)...

I'm not baking yet, but I did get started making the dough! I made the hot gingersnaps first, then put everything in the DW, and after all that dries, I'll get started on things that won't "flavor" things I make in the FP after, like the vanilla sables, and TN icebox, and finish with the sesame...

Today is the first day of Dawali (11-10) - the Indian festival of lights. I made this dal, to take to some friends Sunday (besides eat a bowl today!), and an even larger bowl I'll be making with that butternut recipe I used a while back, except with nothing hot - I'll use some sweet paprika...

I made a dal, with my smallest one of those butternuts of the season, which had 20.6 oz, or a little more than 4 c of cubes, once it was trimmed and seeded. I started by rinsing 1¼ c of toor dal, then soaking it, while cutting up the squash, chopping a large onion, and mincing 2 large cloves of...

I made what I call a no-name Mexican dish - can't call it chili, since it has beans in it! :lol: I made it with three 8 oz containers of creminis, that I cooked separately, followed by 2 lbs of venison chorizo and 1 lb of pork chorizo I had frozen. I started by cooking 3/4 c each of black...

For those of you that use your IP to make yogurt, here's something I thought of today, mainly because I didn't have more than 3 empty wide mouth pint jars (more regular ones in the basement, but I like these better for the yogurt). As I was rooting through the cupboard, I saw a 3 cup mason jar...

I've done this with my curry tree and lime tree before, and it's easy to do, and with this was was even faster than the others. I wanted to get another "backup plant" in a pot, as last winter, the outside plants had nearly died from an extremely cold snap, though it had survived the same...

I just got the garlic seed I ordered way back - one lb of Music, and one new variety (to me) - Bogotyr. The Bogotyr sort of looks like the Metechi I frequently grow - smaller than most hardnecks, yet it supposedly stores better. I'll find out my first try. I counted the cloves, and there were...

The basil was growing incredibly well, and the garlic has dried almost enough - I was just waiting for the tomatoes to start ripening enough, to start making this. I had more than enough tomatoes to dice up 2 lbs of tomatoes, to make that pasta dish I make every year, with a bunch of basil...

Here it is @GotGarlic & @dragnlaw in the recipe section. Whole Wheat English Muffin Bread 1 tb instant dry yeast 2 c Whole Wheat flour 1 c unbleached flour 3 tb wheat gluten 2 tsp salt 1 3/4 c buttermilk, or whisked yogurt, room temperature, maybe 2 tb more 2 tb olive oil, or vegetable oil 1...

I made a creole style dish today, the spices like what I put in Jambalaya. And instead of rice, I put a cup of sorghum berries and a half cup of channa dal, which I pre-cooked a couple days ago, only because I started it before I went out to harvest the first batch of garlic, but it got too...

Or did nobody want to cook, due to the widespread bad air quality? I was in almost all day, so I did a few things, and for dinner I made a creole type dish today - would have been like jambalaya, if I had shrimp. I cooked some whole oats, instead of rice - cooked 1 1/3 c of them separately in...

This is sort of based on chole masala, but this uses a different type of chickpea than the traditional, and has kale, butternut, and some dried long beans added. The green chickpeas take a long time to cook - even after the multiple pressure cookings they were still whole, and falling apart! I...

I made some salad today (too hot to eat soup again. lol), with some chickpeas, kidney beans, and some oat groats, cooked in the Instant Pot, draining them, and rinsing with the cold water, when done. While cooking those things, I got some sardines broken up, some feta diced up, a large bell...

I don't know how many of the canners here have Ollie's stores in your area, but the ad I just got for mine has a dozen 12 oz Ball jars for $6.99. I almost never see that size around here, and when I do, they cost more than the larger sizes! More of a gift size, but I thought maybe someone...

Not a whole lot going on outside here, but my hydroponics are taking off big time! The old basil was the one thing I had trouble with this year, but I got some new seeds recently, and hopefully it will catch up. I've been eating small salads, with just a few leaves from each of several plants...

I had a craving for something Indian today, and I wanted to use up the last near lb of those mushrooms. I made a batch of pav bhaji, using some of that pav bhaji masala I made recently. I cooked a large chopped onion in some ghee (would have been a vegan dish, if oil was used instead) in a 12"...
