Something Delicious

I admit to being more of a hunter/gatherer where food is concerned...Teddy is the cooker...lol but I WILL share nummy treats that I find as we go along...

SO...the latest greatest thing is!

Artichoke spinach YOGURT dip from Trader Joes! It's not all fat laden like some of the other spinach/artichoke dips, has a GREAT texture (I'm all about texture) and they even add in red peppers for color. Tasty Treats!

We have them with the flaxseed and veggie chips from TJs also...

Well Hi Sugar

You have to pop on Teds Facebook and check out my Apple Fritter & Ice Cream pics. Quite insane.

I love that dip from Trader Joes. The Chips are awesome too. Good stuff. Are you still avoiding the Chocolate Pudding? That is the best. I need to get over there and pick up a few things. Btw I have all of my friends hooked on the dried mango with chili and the chicken sausages. Funny how that works.

Oh forgot to mention that my Bff is Austrian and she had to bring me to this German Sausage Company that was insane. The food is so good. We also picked up heavy dense dark bread from Germany and Butter from Austria.

OMG

Love that place. I think I tried..seriously...12 different types of German sausage.

Cant wait to go back.

Dude I am good. All I am doing is losing weight. I eat really healthy, trust me. The high fat food is in extreme moderation. Did you see that green drink posted on Facebook? Yeah I drink and eat more vegetables in a day than most americans consume in a week.

Today was the second lesson in the kitchen with Bek - pumpkin soup day for my little sous chef. She did well!

It is not soup weather, but we had a 2/3 of a big pumpkin to use up.
No matter, we both enjoyed it for lunch anyway.

I remember being a couple of years older than her, my first time making pumpkin soup, at the first place I ever lived in on my own. The recipe never said to drain the pumpkin, but it didn't say not to either. I drained it. Bad decision! I should have called Mum! Glad to know Bek will be better prepared than me, if she ever leaves home (I don't think I'll mind if she doesn't)

Speaking of German sausage, last time we were at the local markets Bek decided to try one. It had chunks of cheese in it. I think she liked it. The fat factor is not a concern with her, she's a tiny little thing - could do with some more weight on her.

My Sugar Plum Fairy!!

I love your little Sous Chef stories.

Honey I just saw pics of your new house..Wow! Gorgeous. Best wishes to you all. There is nothing like a fresh new start hey?

I envy that you have a Sous Chef! I need one *grin*

When I have mini diva in the kitchen with me she likes to watch me cook. Often she will hand me this or that if I need something but she is a bit timid around the stove still and not comfortable with knives. Likely the weekly manicured diva nails are having an impact on the knife skills.

But I love to have her in the kitchen with me and miss her terribly now. Not that I needed any lessons in value or appreciating the time that we have been gifted with those that we love, but I surely miss that little one every minute of the day. Its not the same to cook without her There are a few favorites that I make for her and I dont even cook them at all now. Just makes me too sad.

Hopefully she will come visit me on spring break.

12 different types! Wow! I love german sausage. Wish I could find some around here. There should be somewhere, someplace. Now I'll be in search. I like mine in the morning with eggs.

As for what I've been eating. I' work nights so I've been relying on the chef at work and the last two nights have been great. Beef lasagna and then Cashew chicken. As for what I need to be making; I have the fixings to make a turkey pot pie, vegetable beef soup, and I think spicy chicken pasta sounds good too! See if I get some of this made by the end of the week!

Corkey and ahk .....thanks for the info about salt.

Corkey, I forgot to mention. You were sick. Hope you are all better now, but, I remembered once when a woman I was dating was sick, I went and got her some hot & sour soup at my Chinese place. She swears it helped her tremendously! I have tried it when I got sick once, and it helped me. ?????

Good Morning Delicious peeps

Well I got to start my mornng off with some hate mail. Crazy how some people act when they do not get what they want. So whats good everyone?

What are yall cooking today?

I need some mega coffee that was one long night.

We have this German coffee that translates into something like

"This will build you up and make you strong!"

So now my buddy Jim and I are joking around about how much this coffee is going to "build us up" *smirk* its kinda cute really.

I love coffee! I had the best fair trade roasted blend this morning at the farmers market. I bartered my serviced with a few of the local vendors and got some honey, maple syrup, organic granola, fruits veggies and a homemade pie.

I don't know what I will be cooking today - I had chicken samosa's for lunch. I may stick with the indian cuisine and do a butter chicken lasagna or something? Served with rice or a salad? I like rustic cooking with a touch of my personal flare.

Barter is a great idea. Is the farmers market indoors?

What is butter chicken lasagne? I have not heard of this.

Ursy · 02-02-2013, 08:56 PM

Butter chicken lasagne? Merry Fairy, that sounds inspired!

Sunshine! Yes, new house settled last week - we are very happy with itl. Now we just have to sell the current one. (For those of you who don't know, my partner has had bad health issues and hasn't been working for nearly a year so we've had to downsize).

I've been freaking out. I won't be able to relax until this house is sold and things settle down to a more affordable level.

Like Mini Diva, Bek is a bit timid around the stove and sharp knives. I hope that she will get over that in the next few cooking sessions.
I hope you get to see Mini Diva again very soon. xx

The market is indoors for the winter. The rest of the time this particular market does a combination of outdoor and indoor.

Butter chicken lasagne is just a complete fusion of indian and italian dishes. You layer the lasagne the same way you would normally only this time you are using tandori chicken instead of beef or ground soy. The sauce is made from butter, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, chili powder, other spices, onion, green pepper and mushroom.

I layer using boiled lasagne noodles, ricotta and herbs.

I can't take ownership of the idea, I was inspired by the food network,

Ted and I have been fb friends for a while darlin! You are gonna have to share me *smirk* lol

Love you two. Yall are so frigging adorable.

The Chicken sausages really are amazing you should try some.

I am still making a pot of vegetable soup every day and getting a lot of vegetable nutrition that way, then I snack on raw veggies and juice veggies. When I was in Atlanta I was not juicing and not eating enough veg, though I did manage to find raw veg every day but what a difference. Running 15 hours average a day plus the mental workout, I realized how much I rely on vegetable nutrition.

Another thing too is that plenty of vitamin C, D and healthy digestive enzymes make this odd season with not enough sunshine or fresh produce tolerable.

If you ever get the chance to try that "Kale-Aid" raw juice that I posted about, do it. Its insane.
