2016 - Week 7 Cooking Results

French Style White Bean Stew

A bit of work, pretty good...maybe not worth the effort.

Cumin and Ancho Chicken Tacos

I thought I had ancho powder, I did not.  so I did a combination of cayenne and serrano and forgot how much serrano can hurt while cooking.

So it was spicy, but good. and this is a super simple way to do things.

Cheeseburger 'n' Fries Casserole  (severely modified, somewhere between this, the Lightened version I picked up from C and my own inspiration)

So one benefit of tracking the various intakes into my mouth is the fact that I I actually mostly wrote down what I put into it:

  • 4 T olive oil
  • 0.5 pounds red onions sliced
  • 0.5 pounds cheese curds 
  • .75 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 pound ground bison
  • 3 oz pickles
  • 1 t jalapeño powder
  • salt/pepper

Why Cheese curds? I had some (given to me) and figured they weren't squeaky anymore so it would be time to use them.

I did forget, like the dietician version suggests, to broil them at the end so it didn't have that crisp topping like one might expect.  So That clearly needs to change.  Anyways, worth more investigating and manipulation.  Clearly the bison was a sami-random addition.

St Paul Sandwich

This was interesting.  It really is a combination of something of the location.  Pretty good, fairly easy. 

Japchae

Reading further, it was noted that it'd be better as a side dish then a main, but we had it as a main anyways.  I couldn't find the right noodles, I cut the amount of soy sauce in half, and forgot to add the green onions.  Still, a pretty good flavorful dish.
