techie -sounds very good!

glad - It looks lovely and not, actually, that difficult as long as you are not making the puff pastry. 😉

I am roasting turkey thighs for dinner, with cranberry sauce and maybe roasted eggplant as a veggie.

What can I say? It was absolutely wonderful! No problem with cooking time and asparagus and puff pastry smeared with cheese. I added a bit of cubed ham, after all on Easter I can't have asparagus without ham! I have three pieces left for supper the next few days. And had an over easy egg with it.

Golden, I bought frozen Pepperidge Farm puff pastry.

And guess what asparagus means? New rubber bands!

You do need to pay attention to how long the asparagus is so it will fit within the area that will form the edge of the dish. I must say, it worked perfectly.

Chili in the instant pot with tons of extra beans and veggies. I'm getting better at adapting my recipes, this time it's pretty good.

Ham sandwiches on sourdough bread with Dijon mustard. Leftovers from yesterday’s ham dinner.

I always enjoy a sandwich the next day, whether I make ham, turkey or roast beef.

I don't have an air fryer. Today I heard about how wonderful Trader Joe's tilapia is.in it. Has anyone tried it?

Frozen tilapia.

I love Trader Joe’s but I haven’t tried that, Glad.

We have great local seafood so I go to a seafood market to buy fresh fish.

I don’t have an air fryer either. My daughter loves hers! She cooks lots of different things in it. I’m not even sure how those work. How are they different from a regular oven?

No clue the difference. My son did chicken wings in his once. I did not think it was very good.

Glad,

Look at the article on zdnet.com

Air frying vs oven baking: what’s the best way to cook?

I just read it. Interesting, it convinces me that I don’t necessarily need an air fryer. My daughter keeps telling me to get one. She has told me that I can try hers to see if I like it. I may do that.

I get confused about what is the most healthy. I love roasted veggies cooked with high heat. Some articles state cooking at a high temp isn’t good. Especially with meat. I like the charred flavor.

I use olive oil, not vegetable oil. Olive oil is suppose to be healthy. It’s the temperature that matters.

Sometimes I will roast a chicken on a high temperature because it is delicious.

Glad,

Just looked up best temperature to roast a chicken. The answer from a cooking school was anywhere from 325 to 450.

Recipes will say to roast at high temperatures but doctors say that it isn’t healthy. It drives me crazy, because I love the charred flavors.

Not dinner but had lunch with my dd at a local fish restaurant. We enjoyed our fish (grilled not battered), chips and cole slaw and sat and chatted for a couple of hours. We packed up some of it for supper. Then she drove me to p/u some meds and they tried to charge me $25+. I have never paid for these meds in years. Got it sorted and need to p/u one rx tomorrow.

The sidewalks are clear of snow now. It feels like I have been let out of prison!!!!

need - if you must eat charred meat eat lots of veggies with it. It's healthier.

Guess! Puff pastry with boursin, asparagus, ham and an overeasy egg! It is quite yummy!

NHWM, I like charred/seared meat too. Crispy on the outside still moist on the inside.

So, I am going to open the refrigerator door and stare. I have absolutely no idea of what I want to make for dinner!

Ever have those days when you don’t know what you feel like eating or cooking?

Golden and Glad,

Sounds delicious!

Burnt,

Hmmmm, now that is a great idea! I may do that too 😊. Otherwise I will be staring in my fridge for 15 minutes and most likely will be out of certain ingredients that I need to cook.

Thanks for putting the bug in my ear about getting takeout!

Today is National Banana Day. I love making banana bread. I put bananas in smoothies. Occasionally, I make banana pudding.

What is your favorite banana recipe?
(0)
Report

I made some banana bran muffins yesterday because I had a couple of overripe bananas, I like to add a banana to my breakfast smoothies or oatmeal but I didn't use them up this time.
My favourite thing to make (and eat!) with bananas would be banana cream pie, but I can't even remember the last time I had that.🍌

cw,

All of those things sound great! We have a famous dessert here, Bananas Foster. It’s cooked bananas with a sweet sauce that is poured over ice cream! It made table side in our fine dining restaurants.

Does anyone use "canned" bacon? I just read an article that states fully cooked canned bacon has a 10 year shelf life... but I can't find any on amazon or walmart. Just fully cooked bacon in a vaccun sealed bag that is shelf safe for up to a year until opened (then refridge it). It's priced just a little higher than normal bacon so I think I'm going to buy a pack and try it. It might be good for my panty (in limited quantities) or for a camping trip. Wish I could find the canned variety; I would check it out too. My ancestors always cured bacon and left it hanging in the smoke house so I've never heard of canned bacon, although I have fixed some canned sauage (mostly used for gravy or in baked sauage balls).

I vaguely remember my great uncle smoking some hams but we never had a smoke house in my memory at either my grandfather's or my father's home. Dad had a smoke house when he was a boy but he probably tore it down when he built the new house before I was born.
