Green Bean Curry
Clearly we are trying to be a bit more healthy. I found this after I picked up a few multi colored string beans from Grade A Gardens. This came together pretty quickly after preparation. The string beans took a bit, but after that everything came together really quickly. I made up a large batch of rice for the Peanut Rice and Chicken Thighs later. Instead of the butter that I would normally use, I ended up using olive oil. A better choice I suppose. This was pretty good. Maybe add a bit more spice to it or peppers (and I had a few to use too). I may have under salted a bit.
Melted Mozzarella on Toast with Fresh Tomato
I’m not dead, and when the opportunity comes to have farm fresh mozzarella (Lost Lake Farm) and fresh tomatoes (these from my mother’s garden), how is one supposed to say no to that?
Goat Burgers
The week was a bit wonky. I was not sure what part of the week was going to be taken up by my team visiting and wasn’t. As they were coming here, which is a bit of change of pace, it was nice to be at home but also see everyone. However, these got pushed a bit because the week ran out of time.
Chile Peanut Rice
A simple set of ingredients, a bit of niceness. It was really meant to be somewhat of a side. I added some leftover sous vide chicken to make it into a meal. I may have overcooked the peanuts a little bit, but generally it was pretty good.
Whiskey and Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies
My new fridge has a nice long tray where I’ve been storing deli meat and cheese. In this case I was able to store the cookie sheets and dough, 2 sheets worth, in the fridge while they firmed up a bit too bake. These turned out quite while with the rye flour, rye whiskey and chocolate. I liked the addition of the vanilla salt to the top which really added to the adult style flavor of it. They were enjoyed quite a bit.
Chicken Thighs with Saffron, lemon and Red Potatoes
So these probably would’ve been better with chicken skin on, but that would have defeated the point to some extent. I lessened to the time a bit to take into account that there was no skin. I added the items as needed. Maybe a bit more than a pinch of saffron. As it comes down to it it was a pretty good meal. I served it over rice with a bit of the broth with the potatoes and chicken. Nice meal to end the week.
