Whiskey and Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies

Made these again. I got the cookies into the fridge, then made dinner and near the end of the 3rd debate, baked them off for Shannon’s work potluck. Quite good.

Really Awesome Black Bean Burgers (only have to cook, rest is done)

So having them only to cook off makes it a lot easier to handle and cook on a weeknight. Still quite good. It was a wonderful addition to top it with the Green Chile sauce? Mix? Paste?

Juan’s Simple Green Chile

This was a lot easier to make than I expected. I had the roasted chiles and rubbed off the skin, and went through the process. Making a batch or two really isn’t a big deal in the slightest. We had it on several things this week.

Fish

Skipped.

Taco Salad

So I made adjustments here. Less cheese available, I only used half the chorizo for the chorizo, onion, bean mixture that I usually make. Still going to be a rare dish I suppose, due to all the fat that can get added on.

Salad with Chicken

I under seasoned the chicken breasts while I cooked them sous vide them. There was a but in the app during the time that appears to make it so that I couldn’t run the countdown timer. I see that it is fixed in the latest update (or at least I hope so) but as I run the chicken at 157º its not like it would overcook. Some cherry tomatoes, I used some black bean burger cooked crumbs as a topping, which added a nice flavoring element to the whole salad (and beans!). Good things.

Digaag Qumbe

I really liked how this turned out. It had a bit lest chicken then the recipe called for (1.6 vs 2). I, of course, skipped the ghee, as I should. But it didn’t take to long to make (ok I was busy making the chicken for salad and cookies at the same time). I look forward to having some as leftovers.

Shrimp Fried Rice

I had several stalks of Iowa grown lemongrass, from Wabi Sabi Farm, so it was a challenge to decide what to do with that, and this came up. Certainly a way to avoid another chicken dish (which was my first choice), but also pretty easy to make. It came together quickly and tasted pretty good.
