Good recipe???

she does it without a specific recipe now... but the broth is always done with charred onion, charred ginger, and well-toasted spices (coriander seed, star anise, black peppercorn... sometimes others)

I've been making a lot of scrambles lately.

Yesterday was baby broccoli with shallots and garlic. Then I scrambled the egg with some smoked gouda. Topped it all off with roasted salsa. Yummy & filling!

I like to use lamb or mutton sausage as a base... finely chopped onion, bread crumbs, parsley, oregano, mint, salt.  Or ground venison/moose with onion, garlic, oats, thyme, sage, oregano.

That sounds delicious, esp the venison.  Maybe when it is deer season in another couple of months.
I was hoping for meatless, or with ground turkey or chicken as a meat.  But onion, garlic, oats (maybe rice?), thyme, sage, oregano sounds great.  And cheese of some sort.

when I do veg ones for MIL, I use both fresh bread crumbs and oats, bind with a beaten egg

I made this curried ground turkey recipe and served with homemade garlic naan.  So good.

I've done mine with ground turkey, brown rice, a small can of tomato paste, a little tomato sauce as needed to make it a little more (or less) saucy. Plenty of diced sauteed veggies - sweet onions, pepper (from the tops), zucchini, squash, carrots, etc. Or in winter I'll use corn, peas, etc. from frozen. Add salt, pepper, garlic in whatever form you've got, and maybe a handful of some kind of cheese - shredded cheddar or even some parm. It is easy to make with whatever you've got on hand, load it with veggies, etc.

This is easily the most beautiful thing I've ever cooked.  (This is the stock photo, not mine--I think mine looked even prettier!):


http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/08/tomato-tart-from-the-beekman-1802-heirloom-vegetable-cookbook.html

The flavors were fantastic but I didn't let it cook long enough--probably needed another 5-10 minutes on the lower rack.  It was a great way to use an abundance of CSA tomatoes.  Very easy and quick to make, too.
Baa, baa Blue Sleep

This is good.   I will post whatever recipe I find. 
A doesn't like peppers so she is humoring me by cooking them, but she told me to find a recipe I wanted.
I picked the peppers last night.   :)
