2016 - Week 20 Cooking Results
Weight Loss continues: 17.08% / 13.32% (peak / 2016). As a note from this past week, I'm still having trouble controlling my intake restricting from time to time. We went out, and I really should have stopped eating the Mexican dish about half way through. but I didn't, and was quite uncomfortable after the fact. We'll calling this a learning lesson about what the new normal is.
BA's Best buttermilk Pancakes (gonna have to decide if I want less pancakes, or almost no syrup...whee)
Not the same...but still pretty good. Nice to at least have them, even though I can't stuff my face with them.
Butterfly Pork Chops with rhubarb ketchup
I was excited to see a recipe for rhubarb ketchup, and this was good, however this was not near as good as the stuff that Brett made. This was to sweet. It was, however, a good start. Less sugar, more port and red wine vinegar. Even so, pair well with the pork chops.
Parm Baked eggs and Swiss Chard
Not a lot of up front work, and quite a bit of idle time. It was pretty good, not fantastic...maybe needs something more.
Chicken and Chive Blossom Toasts
This turned out very well. I purchased some Fox Hollow Farm More then Mustard after tasting it at this past Monday's Charcuterie class at the Cheese Shop. This just sort of ticked in with what I should go together. This turned into a delicious thing.
Chive Blossom Omelet
Turned into scrambled eggs. Didn't want to face the possible defeat of omelettes (and was tired). Still quite good.
