What's cookin'?

[ChrisWydeman]

Today is meal prep so I am pan searing diced chicken, cooking up some pasta and chopping veggies. I like having the option of taking lemon pepper chicken to work and kung pao the next day

Nice! I love prepping for the days to come. Quick fix with flexibility is so much fun.

Well, Nyclocker, misery loves company. It's about 215am in my time zone and my lentil soup is cleaning me out...never really posted from the can before. The lighting is good in this place!

I'm gone for one long weekend TR and you take this forum into the shitter.....literally

 

After @jackjackjack wrote that nice thread about how classy and upper crust you all are.

Well, I just noticed this thread. Tonight I whipped up (sorry) what I call my own fusion cuisine version of Italian soul food: Collard greens, cannellini beans, peperoni, garlic, with penne pasta. It combines something that I enjoyed at a restaurant in Arlingtion, VA many years ago with the components of a classic Italian peasant meal.

 

Since it already has been alluded to, I must warn @geminibear that this meal has the same effect as @Truereview 's Lentil soup! Yes I'll be smiling in a few hours time!

butternut squash works great with apples, onions and apples. you can use chicken stock or veg stock and make a tasty soup I use fruit in savory dishes a great deal. Fruit doesn't have to appear just at dessert

 

I have lots of onions to use up!

 

I tried this and it worked, tasting it out of the pot. (I stir-fried both and added them to the soup.) Let's see how is does when I have it in a meal.

 

Thanks CB.

Dunno if it is too late to give you a spice suggestion, but you might want to try cardamom, rosemary, and garlic. I have been using those three to roast sweet potatoes and they come up great!

 

Too late now, but it's on my list for the next batch.

 

Thank you, RV.

I didn't see that movie. I'm a fan of Carrie Fisher, I think I'll go check it out right now.
