rainbow swiss chard and buttermilk mashed potatoes.
let me tell you about the rainbow swiss chard!
people don't apparently know what to do with chard, so let me tell you: first you wash it well, remove the stems (take a knife and just slide it down the stem, the leaves peel right off and it makes you look all chef-like), set the leaves aside, dice, saute only the stems in a tbl of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, when they start to turn, add the leaves that you've sliced/or ripped apart into 3 or so inch pieces. stir, add another pinch of salt, turn down the heat, cover and enjoy in 5 minutes. (i turn off the heat and let it wilt for 10 minutes but i like my vegetables on the brink of steamed and raw, personal preference.) another variation is to skip the olive oil and use a couple of strips of diced bacon in the bottom of the pot, saute the diced stems in the bacon fat, and same as above--add the leaves after, since they cook so fast. --and what isn't good in bacon fat? i just personally feel bad eating pork because pigs know their names, and are very dog-like. *also, a dash of red/wine vinegar really brings out the flavor in the chard, once it's plated--my parents would make the bacon-variety chard but i didn't develop a taste for the vinegar until much later; i say use sparingly. and low-fat buttermilk mashed potatoes. (never use black pepper on mashed potatoes, it's white, only. trust. and i was lazy or i would have added some fresh oven-roasted garlic.) --> i cooked because 1. i can but pretend that i don't know how, and 2. we're going to the vegetable co-op tomorrow and the fridge needs to be organized <3 |
a bowl of lucky charms...they are magically delicious and all my belly can handle after the bouts of migrains I have been suffering!!!

FANTASTIC grilled dinner...
As always... my best girly girl friend and I put on a SPREAD when we grilled tonight. She's AWESOME and I really enjoy our dinners and all the fun we have.... Grilled corn on the cob 'bella mushrooms Tomatoes Baby Egg plant Halibut and Tuna with a ranch/dill sauce and for dessert... (a neat trick someone special just taught me...) Grilled bananas with melted chocolate!!!! YUMMY!!! We got a big kick out of the bananas... called it "our own personal fondue"! Sure beats paying $100 for fondue at the Melting Pot... and it's more fun! I'm so stuffed I feel like after Thanksgiving Dinner!! |

Last night I had a lovely salad with romaine hearts, fat free mozz, chopped walnuts and pear vinaigrette. It's a fave of mine!
I also had a small helping of whole wheat rotini with mixed peppers and a sprinkle of authentic Mexican cheese on top. :tease: Nom. Nom. Nom. Tonight, I think it will be ground turkey with sauteed peppers and more cheese, because I'm part mouse. |
