2019 - Week 47 Cooking Results

Pumpkin and Yellow Split Pea Soup (Green split peas, checked multiple stores, no yellow)

I added a bit more cook time, since I missed the part that I should soak them. It was…ok. Not great, not bad. I ate leftovers for the next while for lunch since it was quite a lot. There is still some left.

Pasta with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce and Toasted Hazelnuts

I liked this quite a bit. After searching the store for hazelnuts, I googled and found out they were also called filberts (and apparently cobnuts). They had filberts in the store. I suppose hazelnuts are a prettier name. I really enjoyed this dish. It was relatively quick to do (longest part was rubbing the skin off the hazelnuts). I do love a good pumpkin dish.

Easy Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon, Cucumber, and Avocado Rice Bowls

This was easy! Though the salmon didn’t glaze as I thought it might. The teriyaki was a little more liquid then I suspect the one they used was. So that was probably why. It was easy to do though. And made for a good dinner.

Chicken over salad

This turned into sandwiches, per request. I tossed the sliced sous vide chicken with a little bit of barbecue sauce (not much at all) to add some salt to them (as I didn’t while cooking) and we had them on nice buns. I had a nice big side salad.

Single Brat per person (I gotta slowly eat this pork)

I miss pork.
