What are you cooking?

[fishorama]

I made asparagus/broccoli soup.

I bought a small cabbage last week too. Maybe for soup but not with tomato. I've never made cole slaw but might try a small batch.

Maybe cabbage rolls with the tomato sauce? Spanish rice w/ zucchini, peppers & onion?

sometime this summer I'm going to roll up seasoned bluegill fillets in cabbage leaf and put I the crockpot with Paul Newman's marinara sauce, just to see!

Cole slaw and occasionally saurkraut are about the only ways I can stand cabbage. Raw in tacos or salad is fine in small amounts. Cooked cabbage just grosses me out--I can't get past the smell. One of those childhood aversions I've never outgrown.

How about stuffed cabbage. Mix ground elk with some cooked rice. Roll in boiled, softened cabbage leaves, and stew in sweet and sour tomato sauce.

That sounds great...except the cabbage.

The only cooked cabbage I've ever had that I actually liked was a Runza. Those are pretty good. I think it's because they put so much other junk in there that it sort of covers up the smell of the cabbage. I know it isn't rational; I just don't like the stuff.

We'll be having burgers tonight, We have house pests (I mean guests ) coming tomorrow. We're both tired of picking up, tossing stuff & cleaning places we don't go or notice often. I don't think I need a maid quite yet, I need a filer/fixer/organizer/decider/etc. Dusting & vacuuming are minor compared to those.

Runza sounds pretty good. Badger. Don't you have an exhaust fan to remove most of the cabbage/broccoli smell? We don't since our over the stove microwave/fan died during covid. We decided to try a countertop microwave/convection oven but no fan, meh! I remember when house shopping before moving here there was a house that smelled like every stinky vegetable imaginable. We & our real estate agents tried to guess; Bussell's sprouts? cabbage? broccoli? rutabaga? all of the above? or what? LOL

I never did try the rolls. I keep seeing how you have to take the leave, dip in boiling water, let dry, fill, roll and cook and I am immediately NOPE .

I am learning to really like cabbage or nappa cabbage. If I don't shred it and toss with yoghurt, I toss it in stir fry as it caramelizes. I even did the baked wedges, not bad, with mustard dressing, and the Italian cabbage on garlic with beans. Next try is cabbage 'steak'. It is an amazing way to bulk up a meal to make you feel full.

I never noticed the smell. But I am one of those weird people who love mushrooms, cauliflower and broccoli!! And stuff made with pea protein or pea flour )
I made black been burgers yesterday, overate ofcourse. I also made red lentil curry (well sort of. No curry paste or leaves but lots of coriander and black mustard seeds and coconut milk) but it will be like a one dinner meal. Didn't have ingredients to make more of it.

Making a plan what to cook from my pantry as I am sick of food shopping. The pantry is full too! I just keep going to the store for fresh vegetables and yoghurts but I think I can handle it for a while.
Pasta with tahini sauce and zucchini and broccoli, salads with lentils and bulgur with frozen vegetables, why not and I have a package of cooked beets in the fridge. They sell them vacuum sealed here and the expiration date is usually 6 months or so!! I mean you have to really know how to use six beets but still

What I have way more issues with is sauerkraut. Once you remove the meat or make it as a side to a baked chicken/pork I really don't know how to incorporate it in a vegetarian diet...

While I have never tried I've read that some Polish Sausage, Kielbasa, done veggie are actually quite good. One of my favorite comfort foods is Kielbasa and Kraut. Good just to eat but awesome as a hoagie sandwich. Do the "fake" Kielbasa" as a casserole with the Kraut long and slow in the oven with no added spices except for just a little yellow mustard. Don't know if you would like but possibly worth a try...

Tonight is fancy. Chicken Cordon Bleu and scalloped taters. Not sure yet as to the veggie but Brussels Sprouts with a little bacon is the front runner. I like doing cross flavors a lot such as the bacon in the sprouts will compliment the ham in the Cordon Blue.

I made something that looks pretty. First time trying hassleback potatoes. They were not without a hassle though ) and baked carrots all with yoghurt/cottage ajvar dip
It was interesting but not sure if worth the work. Sort of boiled soft inside but crunchy outside. Was that the expected result? Who knows

Dinner earlier on today.

Pork chops, Noodles and veg stir fry

Great thread, glad I found it!

I like to cook, and we do at least try to eat healthy......

But sometimes you have to indulge, and I'm excited that tonight we are meeting friends out for a local favorite know as a Garbage Plate

An Upstate New York culinary masterpiece comprised of a platter with heaping portions of fries and mac salad, topped with two cheeseburgers. The whole thing is smothered in a meat-based hot sauce, and then topped with mustard and raw onions - never, ever ketchup!

Best enjoyed with a couple of your favorite adult beverages, and an order of Buffalo hot wings on the side

Behold!!!

Heart attack on a plate!
