Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
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.
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.🍌
What is your favorite banana recipe?
From readymade at Costco.
bunless burgers
green beans
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!
I'm all about some take-out tonight.
Ever have those days when you don’t know what you feel like eating or cooking?
Golden and Glad,
Sounds delicious!
NHWM, I like charred/seared meat too. Crispy on the outside still moist on the inside.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Frozen tilapia.
I always enjoy a sandwich the next day, whether I make ham, turkey or roast beef.
Golden, I bought frozen Pepperidge Farm puff pastry.
And guess what asparagus means? New rubber bands!
Oooooh, the asparagus recipe looks amazing!
Yum🍪
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.
