A clean and well oiled grill is a happy grill.

I'm less of a foodie and more of an eater.
Looking forward to what everyone comes up with. In the meantime, I used to love going to this restaurant when I lived in WA. They have their own brewery on site and made a most delish warm spinach salad, which I don't think they carry anymore. I'd be sad, except I'm not there anyway, so I'm not. http://www.silvercitybrewery.com/ |

Wherever I go I can find a dish that I will enjoy and miss. Funny how many times spinach salad has come up as a topic in conversations with friends. Must be the dressing? A lot of people use bacon in the dressing. I do a spinach salad with soy, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, a little toasted sesame oil and a little sugar. Then again I m in love with Asian flavors so that dressing could top many dishes and I would likely enjoy it!

One of my favourite food memories is the first time I visited my brother in Europe, he was living in Frankfurt at the time, we went to the corner grocer and bought bread, cheeses and meats. They eat that for breakfast.
My favourite was the Quark cheese (with herbs) on their wonderful baguette bread with a slice of salami. Oh my god food is so much better in Europe. I was hooked and now whenever i visit my brother he knows to have Quark and Salami for me. Yummy That and Lamb in Barcelona, any restaurant. I don't know why they do it so well, but they do. Ok, and the ice cream from the street vendors in Vienna. And the chicken donair at the Amsterdam train station. And the salami and spinach pizza anywhere in Germany. Have i mentioned how much I like (good) food? And Europe has some of the best. Although my mom made awesome pyrogies.

I know right! When I was in Italy I was shocked at how good the bread and cheese was. Could not understand why everything tasted so much better over there. Soon learned that growing things with no chemical assistance and using milk that actually comes from cows and goats that graze on the hillside, was the answer. Fascinating. Then again I could live on bread and cheese.

Foodie here but also on the SUPER healthy side of things. Portobello mushrooms with herbs, spinach and light cheese, broiled, delightful! We made a pasta dish this week, small beans, pesto, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, angel hair and some parmesan arregiano, it was SO good and light. Fun thread!

Seems like a lot of people are looking for healthy and delicious ideas for meals so please bring those ideas. Mushrooms make a really nice flavor and texture delivery to any meal. Broiling sounds like a great idea. Grilling is always my first choice but I cant always do that. Amazing how some good cheese can kick up a dish yes? That and hot sauces. Hot sauce freak here. A bottle of Tabasco does not even last me a week these days. I need to buy it by the quart I guess. lol

Sun - thanks for the spinach salad idea. I'll definitely try that one. One of my all time favorites is my Mom's chicken and dumplings! All from scratch and definitely not the healthiest, but they sure do stick to your ribs!!

Did you catch my post where I asked for a recipe for chicken and dumplings? No one replied! I would love a recipe. That spinach salad dressing idea works with any vegetable really. The flavors are just awesome and you can tweak it and make it your own, in a different way each time you make it. Add orange juice, grated fresh ginger, lemon zest..the possibilities are endless.

Food...food... food...
I love food...new tastes, new textures and flavors...
I will eat anything - especially if I do not have to make it. My top restaurants at the moment: One Twenty Six in Iowa City. It has a beautiful duck entree (cooked to order) with spargus and jasmine flavored red potatoes. Lovely from beginning to end! Also has my favorite pulled pork cuban sandwich. Devotay, Iowa City, has great tapas! Locally owned and supplied with local organic produce. Best fish tacos in town. Light, buttery and crispy. Lincoln Cafe, Mount Vernon, IA - has an incredible filet mignon. Locally farmed beef and vegetables. I can go on... but ... if I smell Feijoada... it's all over. My soul melts. |

OMG a good Cuban sandwich. Wow. It has been a while. One of the great things about having access to local farms is that farm to table cooking is like nothing else. Glad to see so many restaurants going in this direction and getting back to the way that things were done back in the day. If you go back and read some of this thread you will see that I am a fish taco freak. How does your place serve them? Corn or flour tortillia? What do they top it with? As for Feijoada..Vamos Brasil Feijoada Recipe I like this one
