Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi group! Just checking in and seeing if anyone has anything tasty on their menus. Last night I made some summer veggie tacos. I sauted yellow summer squash, zucchini, broccoli, bell pepper, & onion, cooked an ear of corn, chopped up some lettuce, cilantro, heirloom tomatoes & a lemon cucumber. Also had a small amount of Amy's refried beans with green chiles in it and some Spanish Rice. Yum!!! And can I just say how happy I am that tomato season is upon us?! Picked up a variety of heirlooms last week; nothing better than a simple tomato sandwich on a hot day. Hope everyone is good; I'm still dealing with personal issues but have been reading the emails. And welcome to any new members who have joined us recently!! Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi Cindi, Your tacos sound awesome! Today I was a bit lazy, so I made a quick stir-fired (well, stir-steamed, but ya know what I mean) concoction. I had some darling little baby bok choy, to which I added onion, celery, garlic, ginger root, chilies and mushrooms. I got them all to a just-manageable crispness and added some marinated (Braggs, sambal oelek (an Indonesian chli paste/sauce) pre-frozen and pre-squeezed tofu and half a dozen 'baby' corn which I barely heated through. I made a quick sauce from some of the marinade ingredients, a Tbsp (next time I'd use two) peanut butter whisked together with a tsp cornstarch and water and a little low-sodium soysauce. With green onions, thinly sliced, plus a handful of chopped cilantro (green coriander leaves) as garnish, we had a good meal served with brown rice. Tasty, but not exactly as exciting as your lovely tacos!!!! Sorry you're having troubles, hon. That's the pits. Take extra good care of yourself for us, okay? Lots of good thoughts going your way!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Mmm sounds good. We are preparing for a long distance move and my kitchen is shut down and packed up so I am living on vegetarian frozen meals, raw veggies with hummus, and tortilla chips with pico de gallo and avacado (ok so the chips are not very slimming bu it is a good combo!). I can't wait to get in our new house and go grocery shopping for real food (oh and for the moving truck to arrive). ~Amanda~ " UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yes, I have eaten something very, very good -- pickled onions. Here is a quick and easy recipe from The Savory Way by Deborah Madison. They are tasty in sandwiches, as a salad topping, a topping for beans or as a condiment. 2 lbs purple onions 1 cup white wine vinegar 1 cup cold water 1 teaspoon sugar 2 bayleaves fresh thyme sprigs (or a small amount of dried thyme) 10 slightly bruised peppercorns salt to taste Thinly slice the onions, separate into rings and place in a colander. Pour about 2 quarts of boiling water over the onions. Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl and add onions. I let them sit overnight, but I think they would be ready much sooner. Will keep for about three weeks in the refrigerator. --- On Wed, 7/2/08, drpatsant <drpatsant wrote: drpatsant <drpatsant Re: Anyone eating anything good lately?

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 That totally songs delicious! I made a basic stir fry with red onions, red and green peppers, sliced portobello, skinny slices of savoy cabbage, and 2 garlic cloves. It all sat in a zip top bag over night. It smelled so good in the bag, but didnt have much " flavor " to it the savoy cabbage made everything soggy I made quinoa, too. That was yummy. Cassie " life's a garden, dig it!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Okay, I ended up making stir fry today too, with brown rice and marinated tofu. Yesterday (Canada Day here) I went to a BBQ on my brother's acreage, and took along tinfoil packets of thin-cut veggies (thank you food processor) and veg chicken, green salad, and fruit salad.

I have started keeping in those WW tortilla wrap things for days when there just isn't time for something more formal/conventional, since you can stuff almost anything in them and with herbs and spices make it taste sensational as well as look as if it's something rather than just leftovers!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I love experimenting with herbs & spices; I love cumin, cilantro, basil, thyme (one of my faves), chipotle chili powder and many more! There is a Chinese 5-spice blend that goes really well in stir fries and whatnot you might want to look for. I am not fond of dill, at all. I think that's the only herb/spice that I really can't stand (that I've discovered so far!)

I had prepared the veggies while the night befores meal was cooking, but would have rather been playing with my daughter. I added soy sauce, but not until the end. I am a novice with spices... Spike goes good on about everything and I have a Paul Prudhommes Italian blend I use, that is about it Cassie " life's a garden, dig it!
