Perpetual What Are You Cooking Thread

[merigayle]

I am always interested in what people are making, new and old recipes they are trying.

Yesterday I made a variation on this recipe: http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-tofu-chickpea-stir-fry-with-tahini-sauce-recipes-from-the-kitchn-204205?crlt.pid=camp.aeYxd91xKZUA

I used a beautiful multi color pepper from the farmer's market, carrots, onions and the tofu and chickpeas. I served it over sautees zucchini noodles. It was not bad. I also sprinkled crushed peanuts on top. I am not sure i would make it again, but it was good and DD ate it, though she was more interested in the zucchini noodles.

I've made this bean salad before, but I vary the herbs depending on what's around.  Today was rosemary, parsley, and basil all from our yard.

I got some patty pan squashes from my friend's CSA share I picked up Friday and made a variation on this: http://ohmyveggies.com/recipe-stuffed-pattypan-squash-with-quinoa-and-fresh-corn/ Not sure what to do with the rest of them.

Made a batch of organic balsamic peach BBQ sauce yesterday. It was a little
heavy on the shallot but otherwise lip smacking good! I wanted to stand and just eat it out of the pot.

YUM!

This morning I made a cheese and bacon omelet with a side of black beans and hot sauce.


I normally don't eat that big a breakfast.

I've been slicing them up and grilling them with a bit of olive oil, S&P and oregano. Really good!

Thanks! I do not have a grill, but maybe roasting them? they seem very seedy, not too bad?

Roasting should work. And yeah, when they get too big they get pretty seedy. I have a couple that got way overgrown and when I grill them I cut out the middle part. Apparently the seeds are good roasted, if you want to mess with that.

When I stuffed them and scooped out the inside it seemed all seeds and I discarded.

our garden lettuces are starting to get a bit bitter, so it's lettuce grilling season now... last night we had some small heads of romaine grilled (lightly drizzled with EVOO before grilling) with a squeeze of lemon and a bit of salt (served alongside white fish)

tonight we will probably repeat but drizzle with balsamic or aged red wine vinegar (to serve with burgers)

I had to google this one.  Sounds good.  Do you eat it on lettuce leaves?

Took the carcass from Sunday's roast chicken, and simmered for 18 hours with carrots and onions...strained it all out and had an INTENSELY flavoured stock.

Added finely chopped carrots, leek, garlic....and finally vermicelli.

That was one TASTY soup last night!

Yes or with rice noodles.

I am sick as a dog, so my GF made pho for me for lunch yesterday.   

It's looking like she might do it again today.

Yum!
