Homemade Taco Fries with all the fixings and Sweet Tea!
http://www.thetaylor-house.com/loade..._a5y_p=2703533 |
I'm heading East for Christmas to see the family. It's a bitter sweet type of thing, because the crew can't travel with me :sigh:The week ahead will be crazy for them, between the finals at schools, work and the care of the oldest and gaps in the nursing schedule. So, to ensure my vegans and vegetarians eat, I cooked a few things to get them through at least a few days.
1) Lentil loaf 2) roasted Italian herb potatoes 3) vegan herb stuffing 4) Roasted onions, yellow squash, zucchini, and sweet potatoes seasoned with herbs with a taste of Greece 5) homemade mac and cheese 6) Corn, cucumber, and tomato salad I may finish off by baking some yeast rolls tomorrow and maybe some spaghetti squash for good measure. |
Thinned out mashed potatoes and a teaspoon of roasted carrots. Weird to eat two tablespoons of food and your stuffed.
|
By the time I got home from the grocery and talking with a friend, it was a bit late for me to cook the Milk Chicken, so I heated up some leftover shrimp stir fry that I had in the freezer from a few days ago and had that for dinner last night.
I made the Milk Chicken tonight and it is in the oven as I type. It smells so good too! I bought a huge pack of thighs instead of a whole chicken and I used half for this dish. I grilled the other half to use in another dish later in the week, and for chicken n veggie rollups. :) [Note to those who sent me a note wanting to make this. The lemon zest is going to cause the milk to separate some which makes a yummy sauce to put on polenta, potatoes etc. I've heard heavy cream won't separate, so if the idea of curds disturbs you, you may want to try that instead. Also, I use evaporated milk because I find it "cooks" better.] |
peanut butter chocolate cream...

Chad brisket taco's sounds good, if I have any brisket left over from Christmas dinner I will have to try that |
I had some cashews. I am hungry but do not have the energy to prepare anything. Being drained like this at the end of the today tells me I am not totally well yet from bone-aching flu symptoms from weekend and yesterday.
Oh wait, just remembered I bought 3 of the 4 packs of Cherry Jello. And those little individual applesauces too. Heading to the kitchen now ... :) |

Vegetable and tofu coconut milk chai spice with madras, tumeric, and hot peppers.
I can't eat garlic, mustard, or onion so it's the closest I can cook to a curry. Put on brown rice mixed with quinoa. Last night was my family grad dinner :) I had turkey, potatoes, green salad, carrots, rice based stuffing, and wheat free chocolate sesame cookies for desert. So lucky my dad and step mom accommodate for me. :) |
So excited my variety of food choices is expanding. Tonight will be chicken salad with a small dab of smashed avocado and some carrots. I will enjoy all tablespoon full of foods!

Got a Christmas gift of 80% dark chocolate and some tangerines. Had with a cup of tea while listening to a lecture on astronomy and trying to learn to crochet. Fuck, I love having actual time. <3 |
Being today wasn't a stellar day for my back issues I did manage to get a roast in the slow cooker with carrots and potatoes and about 20 minutes before it was done I added two small ears of corn to steam. Then I took s muscle relaxer then went to bed, one heck of a time for my back to go on a bender

On tonight's menu . . . .

Tonight or late afternoon I'm having a honey glazed spiral cut ham, slow smoked brisket, homemade mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, a big bacon Cesar salad, dinner rolls and steamed broccoli, candy yams for dessert I have apple pie, banana bread, or cupcakes and lots of ice cream

Going to try my culinary skills on a prime rib this afternoon. I'm baking potatoes for twice during baked potatoes. Some fancy green salad, and stuffed mushrooms.
Hurry come home already! |
We aren't doing the traditional Christmas feast. My son and I with a few friends are going fish and sea food, there will be fried cat fish ,oysters on the half shell, blue crabs. The side dishes will be dirty rice , greens with ham hocks, candied yams a long with baked sweet potatoes, someone is bringing a surprise dish, lots of dinner rolls. I know there will be lots to take home or maybe not who knows. Deserts will be a lemon pie, apple cobbler, and home made dream puffs. New yeas resolution a bit early...I swear not to do a carb over load .
