2020 - Week 2 Cooking Results

Chicken and Rice Meatballs With Hummus

Gonna set this aside for now, over planned for how the week turned out. Two snow storms and a bit of driving about kind of disrupts things.

Brothy Pasta with Chickpeas

This was quite good. Simple, easy to do. I even boiled water unnecessarily, cause I didn’t read all the way through. But it had a nice flavor and vegetarian. I’ve got half bag of pasta left to make this again. I ended up using diced tomatoes (whole can) and it just came together pretty easy.

Buffalo Burgers

Friday, a big snow storm blew into town. As it had stopped, sort of, and the wind was coming, after we got back from picking Shannon up, we cleaned the walks and driveway together. (A bit more came and some ice, that I cleaned up later). After that, clearly putting effort into a meal was out of the question. I mixed a spice mix my aunt got me from Mexico and some salt into the buffalo then made some patties and slowly cooked them (trying to create a sear, while cooking through). They were filling and a good thing after working to clear the snow.

Fish (Salmon, tuna? we’ll see how it looks)

Brushed tuna with olive oil, a little bit of salt on both sides, dashed with a bit of red pepper flakes on one. I should’ve cooked it in a metal baking dish, instead of the lasagna pan I did (ceramic?), that would at least have maybe seared it on one side a bit. Even so, it turned out ok. Served with some salad greens and dressing,

Taco Salad

This became an excuse for me to eat a number of spicy things to try to help clean my still lingering cold. It started in my nose, and seems like it’s mostly gone, but is vaguely lingering in my lungs. I’ve had leftovers of the bison based mixture with spicy add ons several times until it was gone. Hopefully it’ll be done for me soon, however Shannon seems to just be starting her round.
