Baked Flounder with Sweet Potato, Green Pepper, Onion, & Tomato

Baked Flounder with Sweet Potato, Green Pepper, Onion, & Tomato by Unknown Chef

My sister-in-law, Auntie, gave me an Oxo Spiralizer for Christmas. Nice. Went on line to get ideas for using the gift. One website caught my attention, www.inspiralized.com. I am not related to the site owner nor am I a financial backer, just a…

Poached Eggs And.....

Poached Eggs And..... by Unknown Chef

What a challenge to name this recipe, each one I thought of was too long. One recent Saturday while planning the menu, Babe and I thought of an egg dish for dinner one night. I'm not good breaking or cooking eggs unless the recipe calls for whisked eggs. That's why I bought Eggy (see picture). All I have to do is follow the…

Ham and Lentil Soup

Ham and Lentil Soup by Unknown Chef

Try buying a spiral ham for two to serve as Christmas dinner that is less than five pounds. So, I use some of the leftover ham to make enough soup for the next two days and freeze the remaining ham for future meals. I switched it up a bit this time using sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes or brown rice. Adds another layer of…

Spaghetti Squash With Pesto Sauce

Spaghetti Squash With Pesto Sauce by Unknown Chef

There we were, my Babe and me, Friday night, eatin’ dinner and planning meals for the next week. I was in a meal planning rut and asked her to take the lead. Right off the bat, spaghetti squash. I couldn't remember the last time I made that dish. We were on our way. The dish is easy to prepare and you can be creative with the…

Roasted Vegetable and Kale Salad

Roasted Vegetable and Kale Salad by Unknown Chef

Saturday morning is my time to grocery shop. Will change to mid-week when I retire. It is easy to overlook Saturday and Sunday lunches because of weekend errands so I make a note on the menu pad to plan for weekend lunches. We eat lite lunches. Salads fit the bill. I decided to pick up a bunch of veggies to incorporate as a…

Frito Pie - Southwestern

Frito Pie - Southwestern by Unknown Chef

I was watching Weather Channel's coverage of storm Jonas. Temperature in our area was 65 degrees and I was in shorts and a light sweatshirt all day. Had to put a throw blanket on me while I was watching the storm cast. Thought it best to prepare a comfort food dinner to warm us up. Decided on Frito Pie. No way I can cook a…

Oatmeal - pumped

Oatmeal - pumped by Unknown Chef

We enjoy oatmeal. Must use gluten free oats because my Babe has Celiac Disease. So, I buy gluten free-organic oats from our local co-op, a very cool place to shop. A few months ago I wanted to step out of the traditional oatmeal breakfast, you know, microwaved with fruit topping. Found a whole world of oatmeal breakfasts…

Chopped Salad

Chopped Salad by Unknown Chef

Chopped salad is my Babe's favorite salad style. There are many ingredients to choose from and I have fun choosing them. I chop the ingredients using my chef’s knife instead of a device, makes me feel connected to Babe when she is eating. I make a chopped salad every Saturday so we can enjoy for weekend lunch, take to work as lunch…

Pressure Cooked Cabbage Soup

Pressure Cooked Cabbage Soup by Unknown Chef

The weather in southern New Mexico took a cold turn. So, my Babe hankered for soup. I was looking through the soup rotation and found that I did not make cabbage soup since late last winter. The dish is hearty, healthful and savory. Our meals must always be gluten free because my Babe has Celiac disease. I was taught old…

Mexican Salmon

Mexican Salmon by Unknown Chef

This is one of my “what do I have" meals. I usually have frozen wild caught salmon (bought at Sam's), Quinoa, Hatch jalapeños, Hatch Green Medium (heat) Chili, and pinto beans; hanging around. Any type of protein is good for the base including tofu. When we want tofu I buy "extra firm" and press the water out, using a flat dish. We…
