2019 - Week 45 Cooking Results

I found it humorous. When buying meat for my sandwiches they didn’t have quite enough already cut for me, so I stated that I wouldn’t need as much because I should have leftovers once or twice. I ate leftovers every day.

We went to RI Friday night. The Apple dessert was fantastic. Well thought out, curious and pleasing to the palate.

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili Recipe

I got a directive (non-medical) to put more beans in my diet, this works out pretty well. I adjusted it a bit more chipotle Chile (finished off what was leftover, 3 peppers), besides that I mostly stayed true to the recipe. It was quite good. The stout added a flavor that was kind of unexpected. When it gets mixed in with other liquid, it seems to loose something. Good things. I had this as leftovers.

Coconut Chicken Curry in a Hurry

It was a quick dish and certainly a way good way to use chicken. I had to start the rice first (it took longer to cook). Everything came together simply and it tasted good.

Spaghetti Squash Pasta

This was the first meal I cooked after the dishwasher was fixed. The Drain hose was in a shape, were in some segments you could just bend it a little and it would break. I’m not sure what this was from, but it could have to do with the broken rinse agent dispenser, or that it’s older or whatever. Anyways, fixed!

This was using my standard “use half the meat” formula, and was still quite good. I had enough squash leftover it outlasted the sauce and I put the last of the black been and sweet potato chili over it (also good).

Red Pepper, Potato, and Peanut Sabzi

This was real easy, and pretty good. We treated it as a main, but I suppose it could’ve been part of wrap or a breakfast taco (as the intro apparently says). Either way, simple and good.

Smoky Pumpkin and Tomato Soup

This was a multi-staged affair, the hardest part was breaking down the pumpkin, and while I have done this in the past, sometimes in bulk, it’s still a chore. Though, unlike when you break down 5 in a row, my muscles didn’t cramp up or were even that strained. Which is a good thing. I started by roasting the pumpkin, then the pepitas and started to bring the soup together. I added a little more smoked paprika then the recipe asked for (as it only asked for paprika). All and all it was a nice Saturday cooking experience.
