  • Second day of my induction and I'm already playing with my food...

    and having a blast!

    This was yesterdays dinner. Roast Turkey, Green Beans (fresh from the garden) wrapped in bacon and grilled and my version of scalloped potatoes..using turnips.



    I am trying hard to like mushrooms (never have) So decided to try a stuffed mushroom. Stuffed with a mixture of sausage, fresh scallions (from the garden), a hot banana pepper (from the garden) and a wee lil roma tomato (again from the garden ) Stirred in a couple ounces of cr. cheese and stuffed the portabella mushroom caps. Topped with a pinch of cheddar cheese and broiled til they browned. Haven't tried them yet...but hoping that I'll like them. That is if I can even taste them with all the stuff I put in stuffing them. Looking at the picture all you can see is the stuffing...but there really is a small mushroom cap there.

    Also in this pic is poppers that I put out on the grill. Hot peppers stuffed with cr. cheese and a pinch of cheddar wrapped in bacon. I did try these...they were good!



    And lastly my lunch today. Leftover turkey breast from the night before chunked up mixed with brocolli (from the garden) fresh dill and garlic chives (from the garden) and celery (again...from the garden) and mayo stuffed into a cucumber ...from the garden...that didn't want to grow very big so I halved it and stuffed it! Oh yeah...nastie decorations...are from the garden too!



    I really had a lot of fun today cooking. Am hoping to not mess up this time and jump ship. As it's brought me nothing but stomache aches and the lbs returning. With all the food above I have no problems...feeling great!

    Just wanted to share my lil cooking adventure today with you.

            Re: Second day of my induction and I'm already playing with my food...

            Thank you Cristy, Susan and Joy!

            I really had fun yesterday with it. No new pictures today as I have leftovers from yesterday that need to be eaten. As I also threw lemon/garlic seasoned chicken legs on the grill with the poppers yesterday. That and my SO's mother took me out to lunch today...and I was good! Had a caesar salad and pushed aside the huge croutons and some type of bread they served with it. Never even wanted them!

            But soon as these leftovers are done....I'm back to the kitchen to play around some more. I really enjoy coming up with concoctions that look good on induction. Actually...after I'm done...I'm not all that hungry. The fun is in making them up.

              I think there is a thread around here with a lot of people saying the same thing...that part of the pleasure/satisfaction of the food is in the preparation of it. The visual, the scent, the pleasure of making it...that by the time they are done, they really aren't all that hungry. I think it talked about food porn....might have to do a search on that to find the thread LOL

                I really think leftovers are the key, at least for me. Saves me so much time. When I make meals now I essentially double it so I have leftovers.

                Good for you on the mushrooms... myself, I can't stand them. Just plain nasty

                  LOL @ Joy...food porn. I'll have to search that one out.

                  Yep everything I made yesterday I made for more than one meal. What I don't eat today I will freeze tonight for other days. And the mushrooms...well I tried it.........AND hmm....I still can't get past them. I loved the stuffing, but the actual mushroom, I managed one bite. I'm thinking I will try them for another meal when I am really hungry. Seems I can handle foods that I'm not particularly fond of when I'm really hungry. Maybe it'll taste better then.

                        Sure vJosie. I ran out and snapped these for you. Things are starting to wind down in most of the gardens here. Actually we didn't get as much produce had we had hoped out of them. I think it was all the cold weather in the beginning of spring and then all the rain we had. New York here.

                        Here's the main..umm..over grown garden LOL



                        This is a side section of the yard I planted cucumbers and banana peppers.


                        This is our herb garden. We relocated it this year so everything is getting started new again.


                        And finally this is my lil patch of nasturtium that I grew from seed. There would be more flowers..but....um I ate them! LOL



                        LOL sure jcapulet...dinners at 6:30
