Back when I was in grad school in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin, the was-band & I occasionally patronized a fabulous hole-in-the-wall Cajun food take-out place. We loved the BBQ shrimp there, but we could never remember the name of the place. We simply called it "Eat Mo' Bettah," in honor of the Cajun Chef guy on TV. (Y'all remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Wilson_(chef)">him</a>?)</span><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Wilson_(chef)" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXEyUX-yV-VvwpQa4syQAHnACaTbwHVCWCQAUzVK0ZcPe_ZiSqgc_ZndE-Ly399_Mmx15l7BJrkkyjgPo1uwkrERmsMgceVp8WODDF4ODUU9R5Cx1mRw51zhX3r54vPAP48Mo90fMe4Eo/s320/justinwilson2.jpg" width="320" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The jambalaya there was tasty, too. And one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten in my life was their Cream of Garlic soup. We could never figure out when The Soup Dreams Are Made Of would be on the menu, so it was a happy day indeed when we happened to hit it lucky and wander in on Cream of Garlic day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Teeter recently had 2 lb. bags of frozen shrimp on sale, which immediately brought to mind happy memories of BBQ Shrimp. Luckily, I have a recipe that's a dead ringer for the BBQ Shrimp of yore. I discovered it, in of all places, <i>Desperation Dinners</i> by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross. </span><br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Desperation-Dinners-Beverly-Mills/dp/B001O9CD4W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1295936507&sr=8-1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoumpLw-r4Xh7AIswpPv9SweLoa_bdg8I1XCHTcjW7K9g0nJs-BP9aWpSyxBSSWyPxus1_hHpa8KvOx5PTwpo-yXmszjrkapYcXiz1bjPoFqEONFh9MDZ3WMD10WgXJ0e7NIqvR3LEe3Y/s1600/5145W72FBQL._BO2%252C204%252C203%252C200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click%252CTopRight%252C35%252C-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This perky little cookbook promises "Home-cooked meals for frantic families in 20 minutes flat" and it mostly delivers on that promise, with mostly good results. Some recipes are fabulous, others, we prefer not to repeat. But most of the recipes are really pretty good. Of course, being the tinkerer that i am with recipes, I often reverse-engineer the recipes to make them a bit slower to prepare but better-tasting.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happily, the BBQ Shrimp from Desperation Dinners only requires minimal tinkering for fabulous results. It's super-simple, & super-easy-- 3 quick steps!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a note on the recipe that says it's not too spicy for DS (added when DS was in kindergarten, i think), so this recipe is even <b>kid-friendly</b>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">DS and I enjoyed our delectable BBQ Shrimp over some Mahatma Saffron Rice, prepared in the microwave. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was pleasantly surprised at how well the rice turned out! On the side we had some HT Garlic Bread (to sop up all that good sauce!) and a medley of leftover frozen veggies. I can highly recommend both the HT Garlic Bread (from the freezer section) and the Mahatma Rice mix. And both were purchased FREE with coupons (Suh-WEET!!).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I've mentioned, the BBQ Shrimp is super-easy to prepare. I did a quick-thaw of my frozen shrimp in a sink-full of lukewarm water and had it thawed, peeled, and ready to roll by the time the rice had finished cooking in the microwave.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my more fastidious colleagues at the Teeter disdained to purchase the shrimp because it wasn't pre-peeled, but I am here to tell you, when they say "EZ-Peel," they aren't kidding. The shells are pre-slit down the belly of the shrimp and it takes just a second or two to get them off. Plus, the tail part comes intact out of the shell very easily-- which is wonderful, since DS has a "thing" about having ANY shell left on his shrimp. (He hates that little decorative bit of shell restaurants often leave on the tail.)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is one ingredient that can't be replaced in this recipe, however--- it's the Chili Sauce.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkwvFqsBw8XiO7CMbFRM8OVnqHRbrR_S-6kS_Gn_y3JQ4wYbmsk2PfMThKfR13FEtHptQIpSqP3j9zh_CpUIjo1rCnwgMWQ494hxGWyAUszTP7AJ9Xr68TlMOBfx8MzEJlosFGR7wvr7I/s1600/DSC02773.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkwvFqsBw8XiO7CMbFRM8OVnqHRbrR_S-6kS_Gn_y3JQ4wYbmsk2PfMThKfR13FEtHptQIpSqP3j9zh_CpUIjo1rCnwgMWQ494hxGWyAUszTP7AJ9Xr68TlMOBfx8MzEJlosFGR7wvr7I/s320/DSC02773.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is the secret to the whole dish. This isn't some fancy Thai Chili sauce, it's very ordinary stuff kind of like ketchup. In fact, if you've never tried it, you have probably seen it next to the ketchup in the store and just never noticed it. It's great for making quick cocktail sauce for shrimp-- just add a little horseradish, and presto, there you are. I always have a bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce in my fridge.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Combine the rice mix, 1 T butter or margarine, and 1 2/3 c. boiling water in a 1 1/2 qt. microwave-safe bowl.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Cover and cook on high for 3 minutes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Reduce the microwave power to 50% power and cook, covered, for 17 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />

If you haven't seen it, it's an expose of the health risks associated with the consumption of American fast food with a very personal twist. Spurlock embarks on a 30-day challenge to consume nothing but food from McDonald's. His quest was inspired by a lawsuit filed a group of teenagers claiming that McDonald's was basically responsible for making them fat. Spurlock states:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">"After six months of deliberation, Judge Robert Sweet dismissed the lawsuit against McDonald's. The big reason? The two girls failed to show that eating McDonald's food was what caused their injuries. Interesting, in only thirty days of eating nothing but McDonald's I gained twenty-four and a half pounds, my liver turned to fat and my cholesterol shot up sixty-five points. My body fat percentage went from eleven to eighteen percent, still below the national average of twenty-two percent for men and thirty percent for women. I nearly doubled my risk of coronary heart disease, making myself twice as likely to have heart failure."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">For someone like me, this stuff really stirs up a lot of angst. You see, I have a confession to make. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I'm fat. </span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">No, I don't mean that my body is currently carrying around a lot of excess poundage. In fact, I'm back in most of my "skinny" clothes (including my size 4 jeans, woo-hoo!!). No, I'm talking about who I am, how I see myself and think of myself. And that would be as a fat person.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I was born into a family of fat people that goes back on both sides for generations. I was a scrawny kid who became a chubby teenager and a fat adult. I had one skinny year in high school, but for the most part, I went through my high school experience feeling miserable about myself and my body. In college, I was so busy and active I didn't have much time to think about my weight and by the time I graduated from college, I was a size 5 and had come to think of myself as "normal." This lasted for a few years, until I got married, had a nervous breakdown (literally), was put on an old-school tricyclic antidepressant, and promptly gained 50 lbs.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Fat again. Which is pretty much where I stayed for the next 18 years. My identity as a fat person just became an unassailable truth in my life. I will always be a fat person, no matter how much I weigh or what size clothes I wear. My divorce 5 years ago was such a horrific experience that I literally could not eat a thing for months. I then became something I had never experienced in my adult life: TOO thin. I was skin and bones. Definitely not healthy.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I admit I have a love-hate relationship with food. For the most part, I have learned to co-exist with it. I do have my struggles and know I am maintaining a fine balance. There are days when I eat too much or eat things I know I shouldn't. I don't worry about it much. There's always tomorrow. Then there are times I am just so stressed out and busy I'll get to the end of the day and realize I haven't eaten at all. I have to snap myself out of it, because it gives me such a feeling of power to know that the food does not control me. No, too far the other way!! Balance-- remember?? </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">And now? </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">As for my weight... well, it comes and it goes. I try to eat well, be active, and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eventually what goes on comes off.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Over the years I've learned a few things. For example, there are worse things than being fat. A LOT worse. Like being cruel and judgmental. I love clothes and enjoy looking my best, but in the end, as my gramma used to say, "Handsome is as handsome does." If we don't treat others with the dignity, respect, and compassion we all deserve, then it doesn't matter what we look like, we're ugly.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I've learned to have patience with people who have told me, at various times in my life, "Oh, but you'd be so pretty if only you would lose weight!" Yeah, that was almost not a crappy thing to say. Well, guess what? Self-esteem comes in ALL sizes. My boss used to get after me about my weight. I'd tell him, "I come from a long line of distinguished fat people. I embrace my genetic destiny." (And wish I could add, "Why can't you?")</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Watching </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">SuperSize Me </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">made me think about a lot of things I haven't thought about in a long time. Because for the last 5 years, basically, when people see me and interact with me, they see me as a THIN person. They don't know I am really a fat person in a thin body. While I still have plenty of memories, I don't actively experience a lot of the things I did when others perceived me as "fat."</span></span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

All that stuff came flooding back, and I GOT MAD. FURIOUS, in fact.</span></span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

The person said, "In the next 20 years, obesity will become the leading PREVENTABLE cause of death in the U.S."</span></span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">And here is THING NUMBER ONE I am sick to death of: BLAMING THE VICTIM. (I realize that's probably not what the person meant, but it is what most people think.)</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Duh!! Now why didn't I and all the other fat people in America think of this sooner? If we would just get up off our big fat a$$es and lose weight, we wouldn't die from obesity-related complications!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Because I think that if you look around the WORLD at populations who now eat a Westernized high-fat, high-protein diet, you will see that in places where cancer, diabetes, and obesity were formerly unheard of, the incidence of all of these is rising alarmingly. Mexico. Japan. China. And in this country, the Tohono O'odham nation. Does this mean that after centuries of being thin, all the sudden all these people just have no "will-power" or "self-respect?"</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Tohono O'odham have the distinction of being the fattest people in America. Why? Because instead of following the traditional food-ways and life-ways they had observed for many generations, they have been forced to adopt radical lifestyle changes as well as adopting the typical American diet-- a change their biochemistry and genetics have not been able to adapt to. White flour is literally killing them.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">To me, this shows 2 key things: 1)Obesity IS a disease, and 2)the causes of obesity are complex and not well understood.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Seriously, people: Who would CHOOSE to be fat? To endure ridicule and scorn on a regular basis? To face the embarrassment of not being able to fit into a chair at a theater or on an airplane? Knowing that being obese will almost certainly end up killing us-- who would CHOOSE that? No one would. Believe me-- you haven't experienced hostility until you've been a fat person assigned to the middle seat in your row on a crowded airplane.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Would you </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">blame</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> someone for getting the flu? "Oh, you silly person. If only you hadn't touched that elevator button someone with flu just sneezed on or if only you hadn't stood next to that person.... etc." No, of course you wouldn't. Then why is it ok to blame someone for being fat? Or for getting diabetes because they are overweight? IT'S NOT OK.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Am I saying that as a fat person I have no responsibility whatsoever for my health? Not at all. Of course I should try to make good choices and to be active. But it's not that simple!! The same diet works fine for some people (most of Western Europe, for example) but causes others to become dangerously obese (Pacific Islanders, the Tohono O'odham). And what helps one person to lose weight doesn't work for someone else.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity. I hate to say this, but medical people are some of the WORST offenders ever. They think nothing of making you stand on the scale and then gleefully (yes, I swear, gleefully) repeat the result LOUDLY so everyone in the whole office can hear how much you weigh. If you ask why they need to get your weight, when you were just here last week, can they just answer your question? No. They speak slowly and loudly, as if you have the approximate IQ of a fruit bat AND are deaf too.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Now, I ask you, do you think you would ever hear THIS in a dr.'s waiting room? "But Mr. Smith, we ask ALL our patients with </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> to step on the scale at every visit, to make sure their </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> is not causing other health problems. Surely you can understand why that is necessary?"</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If you are a woman, I'm sure you hate your yearly GYN exam as much as I do. Yes, that, and the mammogram, are about as much fun as having your fingernails torn out with red-hot tongs. So you can imagine how very much I appreciated the attitude I received from one very smug female doc (several years ago) who took one look at me and said, "Well, you know your weight is really going to make it hard for me to do your exam." I was speechless. Wish I'd had the presence of mind to say "Well, then I guess I'm lucky you're such a good doctor, not counting your little bedside manner problem."</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Which brings me to my last point. In our society, it's ok to be prejudiced against fat people. They're just lazy. They have no self-control. It's their own fault. So what if the airplane seats are too small for them? If they wanted to, they could lose weight and fit into them.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Here's my Christmas Wish: Let's celebrate everything we love about food this year, be grateful for our blessings, and appreciate the fact that people are basically good. And let's make it our goal to counter prejudice with love and compassion. Because we really are ALL ONE.</span></span></span><br />

When we lived in Port Orchard, Mom would occasionally make dinner so Gramma could have a break, and chili was often on the menu on those days. We always had Premium Saltines with our chili.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, I've never been able to duplicate my mom's recipe for chili, which was pretty straightforward, no-frills, American diner-style chili, that was more soupy than stewy. Of course, it's been so many years since she cooked she doesn't remember how to make it.</div><div><br /></div><div>In May of 1988, I had the rare opportunity to visit Port Orchard. I was living in Wisconsin at the time, and we drove from there to Gramma's house. Sadly, we lost both my dad and Grampa in February of 1987. By then, Gramma was in her eighties. and my Aunt Helen and her three daughters, Nina, Anna, and Amanda, now lived in the little green house with Gramma and took care of her. I was thrilled when Aunt Helen made, guess what! My mom's chili! for dinner one evening, complete with saltine crackers on the side. For whatever reason, I didn't manage to get the recipe.</div><div><br /></div><div>Recently, I tried <b><a href="http://coleensrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/07/turkey-and-black-bean-chili.html">Coleen's Turkey and Black Bean Chili </a></b>and discovered that the flavor is very similar to Mom's chili. <b><a href="http://coleensrecipes.blogspot.com/">Coleen's </a></b>chili is thicker, but it's just so delicious! If you want a really yummy, easy to fix, no-fuss chili that is not too spicy for kids, Coleen's chili definitely fills the bill.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: -webkit-xxx-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:6;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:15.8333px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZg4hkU3-3suHJuMH8dtwT5HplJsWuoh-h2-dZHD_MNPjnmV-P_njG2Hj_3-BynDoNjxMhEMDGfrkJtioPjW13ppAFXF8kQ5ZBC6EY0Wg2oUBWqoTBmaCJXxu_dY4yx-cXBWTfIl9de1A/s1600/DSC02701.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZg4hkU3-3suHJuMH8dtwT5HplJsWuoh-h2-dZHD_MNPjnmV-P_njG2Hj_3-BynDoNjxMhEMDGfrkJtioPjW13ppAFXF8kQ5ZBC6EY0Wg2oUBWqoTBmaCJXxu_dY4yx-cXBWTfIl9de1A/s400/DSC02701.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542263939302165154" style="cursor: pointer; width: 352px; height: 400px; " /></a></span></div><div>I especially LOVE Coleen's unique way of serving the chili, which reminds me of the Frito Pie so beloved in the Ozarks. We used to take DS to the Springfield, MO Zoo just to pig out on cardboard dishes of Frito pie.... Anyway, Coleen likes to eat her chili ladled over a bed of fresh greens and Fritos corn chips, topped with sliced grape tomatoes, chopped avocado, sour cream, and shredded cheese. This is HEAVEN-- even without the cheese and sour cream. It's a fun study in contrasts, a cool & hot, tangy & velvety, crunchy & chewy chili salad!</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:15.8333px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAzlvrVTJbP4R5ipNqTtIv-AXPTCZgJ_I_Vu9ahx3cf9DGG0AgYlwcHEOlmnqWAZp6W4bFwE7Q_pa9EMAfkGuD6DbUd1PTmnWnT8bsO5sWX1-qfcxLB_WgGG_qQGWXDRzNd7ZGTpvnHI/s1600/DSC02700.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAzlvrVTJbP4R5ipNqTtIv-AXPTCZgJ_I_Vu9ahx3cf9DGG0AgYlwcHEOlmnqWAZp6W4bFwE7Q_pa9EMAfkGuD6DbUd1PTmnWnT8bsO5sWX1-qfcxLB_WgGG_qQGWXDRzNd7ZGTpvnHI/s400/DSC02700.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542263896333917714" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Below is my slight spin on Coleen's chili, which really goes back to basics. It is very quick to prep because all you have to do is chop an onion and some garlic and open a few cans. It does need a a couple of hours to simmer and mellow, but you can of course do other things while you're waiting. Instead of saltines, you may enjoy trying the beer biscuits below, which I find are absolutely perfect with chili (not that you need them if you serve the chili with Fritos, LOL!) A big plus is that this chili is actually a really good use for ground turkey (which in general I'm not crazy about)!</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:15.8333px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEzCrkoRyJZXLt6tH3HaX0ktSHFEd6_JZi_yhFxh_6qggsYV0B21Cmma9lXSNyD6pYovJaCTqu7TCuey391OHdx6Cb6C6yjzOB1lsBX3Fz3PctAK1ugfqJV2_OZa3rOC_IrPl60SSEPYY/s1600/DSC02702.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEzCrkoRyJZXLt6tH3HaX0ktSHFEd6_JZi_yhFxh_6qggsYV0B21Cmma9lXSNyD6pYovJaCTqu7TCuey391OHdx6Cb6C6yjzOB1lsBX3Fz3PctAK1ugfqJV2_OZa3rOC_IrPl60SSEPYY/s400/DSC02702.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542265546833550178" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 322px; " /></a></span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Diner-Style Chili Elsie</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">by DomesticMuse</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><br /></span></b></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:15.8333px;"><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13.3333px;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgUSPmD6rBERhbCpci7-MYrPVCSRIq1VGzB2d32PXFbc3pXOO4iYwRRlk4rOzAekHMvuLxoHDV-hf-1xbYyIS5q1z2nfIRWvslILmBsGKrH7sP0RH7z7MGKp5YqMe5nSlgsopR-DWjrVY/s400/DSC02704.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542265559410985426" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div></span><div><br /></div><div><i><b>2 lb. ground beef or ground turkey</b></i></div><div><i><b>1 T canola oil (more, as needed)</b></i></div><div><i><b></b></i><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">1 onion, diced</span></b></i></div><div><i><b>5 cloves garlic, minced</b></i></div><div><i><b>2 T chili powder</b></i></div><div><i><b>2 t ground cumin</b></i></div><div><i><b>5 c. water</b></i></div><div><i><b>1 12 oz. can tomato paste</b></i></div><div><i><b>1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes with jalapenos</b></i></div><div><i><b>1 T sugar</b></i></div><div><i><b>1 t. salt</b></i></div><div><i><b>2 15 oz. cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained</b></i></div><div><i><b>1 4 oz. can green chiles, chopped</b></i></div><div><br /></div><div>1.

alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530832960881921538" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I was shocked and deeply saddened last year when news of Sheila Lukins' untimely death at the age of 66 was reported. I'm a huge fan of Sheila's-- she had a wonderfully original way with food and her recipes never disappoint. Although I have made one or two dishes from Sheila's cookbooks since her death in August of 2009, I've basically surrounded myself in a cocoon of numbness about having lost one of the most inspiring cooks of our times.<br /><br />According to the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/intrigued,%20and%20then%20guided,%20the%20increasingly%20adventurous%20palates%20of%20New%20Yorkers."><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">NY Times</span></a>, Sheila's recipes "intrigued, and then guided, the increasingly adventurous palates of New Yorkers." In my opinion, with her 1982 cookbook (written with gourmet shop partner Julee Rosso and Michael McLoughlin) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/SILVER-PALATE-COOKBOOK-MANHATTANS-CELEBRATED/dp/B001G6TBTS/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287760708&sr=1-4"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The Silver Palate</span></a>, Sheila changed the way Americans cook and eat as significantly as Julia Child changed the culinary landscape.<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/SILVER-PALATE-COOKBOOK-MANHATTANS-CELEBRATED/dp/B001G6TBTS/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287760708&sr=1-4"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24bKVOVb3HiDBdw2hzEzwZ5d_n9bSZ3orBBoNBq78S0siFw0E2LN_jCpWcfu2uVwQ4lubQ5HWmD-5JvXWnH_FEOKRxp1W9q8qC09_ygcQf1TzXHu_7rpPw-GwmLhnZfkK4e7V5Xing_E/s400/Silver+Palate.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530890433878831778" border="0" /></a><br />Everyone always said Sheila was the culinary genius behind the Silver Palate, while Julee Rosso was the marketing whiz. That may well have been the case, as I was very disappointed in Rosso's first solo turn, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Great-Good-Food-Julee-Rosso/dp/0679744606/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1287749235&sr=1-2"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Great Good Food</span></a>, published in 1993, the year their culinary partnership dissolved.<br /><br />What I loved about Sheila's work, almost as much as her creativity in the kitchen, was her sense of whimsy and joie de vivre. She was an artist, and her books are filled with her hand-drawn lettering and illustrations, as well as humorous anecdotes. (A particularly funny story concerned the preparation of a roast suckling pig.) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/SILVER-PALATE-COOKBOOK-MANHATTANS-CELEBRATED/dp/B001G6TBTS/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287760708&sr=1-4"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The Silver Palate </span></a>was one of the few cookbooks I owned when I first started cooking. The warmth, whimsy, and sense of fun made me feel I was cooking with a friend in the kitchen.<br /><br />So, this week when Boston Butt pork roast was on sale in my area, I wondered, what in the heck can you do with a Boston Butt? Then I remembered a pork stew recipe from Sheila's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Around-World-Cookbook-Sheila-Lukins/dp/1563056364/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287760399&sr=1-1"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">All Around the World</span></a> cookbook.<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Around-World-Cookbook-Sheila-Lukins/dp/1563056364/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287760399&sr=1-1"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI-2b_xTMbCAAJL16VpkCOJdajCCR-BnIedvqLUDv9f7vj3JP7iUqS5h5MvC8jCS8VbTiQgicOhjgTGlsmA_hz0oZq4sl5rORFFtiZvys6rxK-5aJTBWQ32incTJ2S14pSfBnqEfOR2cs/s400/All_around_the_world.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530889480202028162" border="0" /></a><br />Sheila's stew, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Porc Colombo</span>, is a rich, West Indian-style curry pork. I also then recalled the comical misadventures suffered by the was-band in procuring the main ingredient. (So I may not want to live with the guy, but he's always had a wonderful sense of humor.)<br /><br />We had just moved here to Mecca after years of living in the culinary wasteland of the Ozarks. All kinds of ingredients I'd never been able to get were everywhere! I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Sheila's recipe required a mystery (to me) ingredient called boneless pork shoulder. I asked the was-band to please pick some up the next day.<br /><br />Well, the was-band, being the highly frenetic organism that he is, decided to go to the grocery at 4 or 5 a.m. so as to get a head start on the day. Just being able to go the grocery at that hour was a novelty! Though not necessarily a good idea. The was-band dutifully scoped out the items in the butcher case, but could not find any pork shoulder. There was, however, a mysterious thing called Boston Butt.<br /><br />He managed to track down the third shift butcher guy and explained that he was looking for pork shoulder. "What's the difference," he asked, "between Boston Butt and pork shoulder?" Meaning, of course, can you pretty much use them for similar purposes?<br /><br />The butcher guy gave him a puzzled look and said, (I am not making this up) "Sir, it's from the other end of the animal."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">O RLY??</span> I'd never have guessed.<br /><br />Well, actually, <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.theotherwhitemeat.com/Cut_Shoulder.aspx">it's not.</a> Boston Butt is also cut from the pork shoulder, but from the blade side as opposed to the arm side. Fat lot that guy knew, eh? I'm not sure what it says about the state of butchering in America when two former vegetarians can figure out that amazing fact in 2 minutes with a web search engine. Don't they teach them that stuff in butcher school?<br /><br />I figured Sheila's stew would be the perfect use for my super-bargain roast. Somehow, making that wonderful stew, with a main ingredient confusingly called "Boston Butt" seemed as fitting a tribute as any to Sheila. I'm sure she would have gotten a good chuckle out if it!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here's to you, Sheila! You will always live in our hearts.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwrgOWia_fP1544edQFtPxfYgHC074ael6jIwhHfrO7CJ9fNfphJB6KKwGR-euCqSlHbkByvxyn_uR1G4j4RdVclLu8bhjm2PAIU2LWrJfs4C6yLxRj5Ozw6TWVu16zV6oXB6HeWTALfw/s1600/Sheila+Lukins.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwrgOWia_fP1544edQFtPxfYgHC074ael6jIwhHfrO7CJ9fNfphJB6KKwGR-euCqSlHbkByvxyn_uR1G4j4RdVclLu8bhjm2PAIU2LWrJfs4C6yLxRj5Ozw6TWVu16zV6oXB6HeWTALfw/s400/Sheila+Lukins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530836526874876690" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sheila Lukins</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">November 18, 1942 – August 30, 2009</span><br /></div><br />The recipe below is fabulous. It was inspired by a meal Sheila had at Le Colibri (The Hummingbird) restaurant on Martinique. Although traditionally made with goat, Sheila chose to use pork for her version. My roast, alas, was not boneless, so I had to bone and trim the pork. The stew has some great extra touches. The meat is marinated in fresh lime juice and garlic, and then rubbed with a sugar and spice mixture prior to browning.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXB0_UXaMHh6I7lISyeAQnfagbNu_TxPLmc1RMtWRrFq9ej5BATVdfmdFKDMVyURrHF0AMmZOiApiwbFM4teKozRj_gS47_k__wpYM-3LjbqVcex0Sw2wT0K6VubiAwz3Iqbv4gmH-wg/s1600/DSC02680.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXB0_UXaMHh6I7lISyeAQnfagbNu_TxPLmc1RMtWRrFq9ej5BATVdfmdFKDMVyURrHF0AMmZOiApiwbFM4teKozRj_gS47_k__wpYM-3LjbqVcex0Sw2wT0K6VubiAwz3Iqbv4gmH-wg/s400/DSC02680.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530832970838990434" border="0" /></a><br />The sugar & spice rub for the meat<br /><br />Sheila includes a wonderful recipe for mixing your own Caribbean curry powder, which I highly recommend. DS hates "curry," but he loved this one. This stew is spicy and flavorful but not spicy-hot, though you could add more cayenne if you'd like to increase the heat. In my bowl was a sumptuous mixture of flavors with the rich, falling-apart tender pork, warm spices, and a medley of carrots, green pepper and sweet potatoes that perfectly played off the sweetness of the spice rub. Sheila suggests serving over rice, though we enjoyed ours plain.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Le Colibri Porc Colombo (Rich Curried Pork) by Sheila Lukins</span><br /></span></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">3 lbs. boneless pork shoulder (or Boston Butt), cut into 2-in. pieces</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">4 cloves garlic, minced</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/2 c. fresh lime juice</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">3/4 c. sugar</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 1/2 t. ground allspice</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/4 t. ground cinnamon</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 T olive oil, or more if needed</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 large onion, coarsely chopped</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 T Colombo Curry Powder (recipe follows) or best-quality curry powder</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">6 c. chicken broth</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">6 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2 in. rounds</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">12 oz. sweet potato (about 1 1/2-- I just used 2), peeled and cut into 1-in. chunks</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1 in. pieces</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 bay leaves</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 fresh thyme sprigs or 1 t. dried thyme leaves</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">5-6 cups cooked white rice</span><br /><br />1.

She spoke no English, only Anishinaabemowin<br /><br />The first floor revolved around a central staircase, and I remember that I used to race round and round the stairs, towing a little wooden dog on wheels by his red plastic leash (my favorite toy) in my wake. Grampa and Gramma never told us to "settle down" when we were playing, and my freedom was exhilarating. 22 years later, on a rare visit to Port Orchard, I felt the most intense thrill of recognition as I glanced into the toy basket by the stairs, and saw my battered little dog on wheels, now beloved by the great-grandchildren!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFru0n5f5LLrs2pn9KtWYBXxNGB-ca1YaWYywkrxtDYq4OvH9IVSAP8N1D5r6I_1_cm_hcP-OdY7ZHpiOB8IIo-Z8JXiPiPE2uCR2IB3v209S6Qfp2MWbVKfndu3pED2mQzjOKV8usJ20/s1600/Me&Gramma_Ocean.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFru0n5f5LLrs2pn9KtWYBXxNGB-ca1YaWYywkrxtDYq4OvH9IVSAP8N1D5r6I_1_cm_hcP-OdY7ZHpiOB8IIo-Z8JXiPiPE2uCR2IB3v209S6Qfp2MWbVKfndu3pED2mQzjOKV8usJ20/s400/Me&Gramma_Ocean.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530314068218645874" border="0" /></a><br />Gramma & I, at the ocean during a visit<br />(I was 11, and hated being the tallest person in my class)<br /><br />That little green house was homely- Grampa never got around to sheetrocking the upstairs bedrooms-- but it was full of love.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzh8aiV-LKfFZg2n9tJncL5QAqNhl-c-kOJejEhk9KeO9O752rktHurje1BSgTFwKJPHmrLuvUCeEKqGmqjcAWIUDBWXRoDx9JHh59hQ8NY3STR6yWuVtMG9_YwzHm8fpz-C74XF3qt6I/s1600/Gramma+%26+Grampa_Car.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzh8aiV-LKfFZg2n9tJncL5QAqNhl-c-kOJejEhk9KeO9O752rktHurje1BSgTFwKJPHmrLuvUCeEKqGmqjcAWIUDBWXRoDx9JHh59hQ8NY3STR6yWuVtMG9_YwzHm8fpz-C74XF3qt6I/s400/Gramma+%26+Grampa_Car.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530314043484603634" border="0" /></a><br />Grampa & Gramma next to their house<br /><br />It was always a magical place for me, and for vagabonds like us-- a new year, a new air base-- it was "home" for a good many years. Gramma and Grampa's door was always open-- and their modest home was frequently a safe haven for friends and relatives who might temporarily be down on their luck. Ironically, my grandparents never got over being homesick for Nett Lake, and to them, the Reservation, not Port Orchard, was always "home."<br /><br />You never knew who might show up on the doorstep. My Uncle Chipper, home on unexpected shore leave, laden with presents. Maybe somebody's cousin's sister-in-law's brother, home on leave from Okinawa, or just out of jail for a drunk and disorderly, or just off the bus from Minnesota and flat busted broke. Someone was always visiting, and miraculously, there was always room for everyone, and everyone always felt welcome. It was just part of who my grandparents were: they would help anyone in need.<br /><br />Kind of reminds me of the old Indian Country joke about the success of the post-Powwow 49 party: You know it was a good 49 when... you wake up the next morning and there are 50 strangers in your kitchen, cooking your eggs and bacon and calling you "Cousin!"<br /><br />Everyone was family at the little green house on Locker Rd.<br /><br />One of my favorite memories is lying in bed giggling with my sister on Sunday mornings, while the enticing smell of popovers in the oven wafted temptingly up the stairs. Although Gramma usually cooked, Grampa always made Sunday breakfast. And he always made popovers. We'd all sit at the kitchen table and my sister and I would stuff our popovers with jam and lick our sticky fingers. I had to be quick, though-- because in a flash, my mom would drag me over to the the kitchen sink and wash my hands so I wouldn't get jam-prints on the tablecloth. My sister, being older, was trusted to make proper use of her napkin.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEhIuSaxhPqHu3332iSlhLK-2XhdG1bWCIzBwUIwEKl0VyTaHBQCdJlkDJfr2sM_Eg-qw1Kv90qno9pVQr0KRtbbvzLS39xru7sh32kZiHTDOmrxzGyGP3-e5eXlKS9Lo-MlfcChHcNtk/s1600/Kathy&Me_Easter_1966.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEhIuSaxhPqHu3332iSlhLK-2XhdG1bWCIzBwUIwEKl0VyTaHBQCdJlkDJfr2sM_Eg-qw1Kv90qno9pVQr0KRtbbvzLS39xru7sh32kZiHTDOmrxzGyGP3-e5eXlKS9Lo-MlfcChHcNtk/s400/Kathy&Me_Easter_1966.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530314060951395586" border="0" /></a><br />My sister & I on Easter Sunday in Port Orchard<br />I believe there was some notion that I was to wear a hat for Easter Mass.<br />I promptly vetoed this idea.<br /><br />My Grampa was the sweetest, kindest person I ever knew. He must have mellowed with age, because it was the stuff of family legend that as a young man, he worked as a cook in a lumberjack camp-- and had a cook's fiery temper, too! The closest thing I ever saw to this was Grampa's hearty exhortation to "Eat it or wear it!" on the rare occasions he made dinner.<br /><br />Chicken pot-pie takes me back to family suppers on Sunday nights in the North Carolina house my parents proudly bought when my dad retired from the Air Force.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu7SUA3s2d4iGtC5LIbGtPyF1skqCffSxdGztRRPOTm7qubqkOt5GcLpqkQUNLfWvi9MHPISKyR6xbANNuoHg15rPyRwaN2Jp0VE8AE_BdrQW0mnOJMwoi4Ql8CITc1HDFTHSWOD5Fq_I/s1600/Mom&Dad_021954.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu7SUA3s2d4iGtC5LIbGtPyF1skqCffSxdGztRRPOTm7qubqkOt5GcLpqkQUNLfWvi9MHPISKyR6xbANNuoHg15rPyRwaN2Jp0VE8AE_BdrQW0mnOJMwoi4Ql8CITc1HDFTHSWOD5Fq_I/s400/Mom&Dad_021954.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530314753000323330" border="0" /></a><br />My parents, Stephan J.

I had to rush to get bathed and into my PJs by the time supper was served, because the deal was, I had to go straight to bed after Disney.<br /><br />After my bath, my mom would safety-pin a towel under my chin to make a super-hero style cape so my long, freshly shampooed hair (thank God for Tame-- remember that stuff?) would not drip on my jammies.<br /><br />I always loved it best when we got to eat chicken pot pies-- the exotic Swanson's frozen chicken pot pies! I would surgically excise and remove the top crust and eat the filling with relish-- leaving the naked bottom crust untouched in its little tin. Just one bite of chicken potpie, and there I am again, in my towel-cape, listening to Marlin Perkins.<br /><br />The recipe below is the double whammy of comfort food: Popovers filled with chicken and vegetables in a velvety sauce. It's a great way to use up those little odds and ends in the fridge, and it's quick and easy to make, to boot! I have successfully made both the popovers and the filling with unsweetened almond milk. DS has never noticed.<br /><br />When the was-band and I lived in Wisconsin, on special occasions, we would eat at a charming restaurant (Quivey's Grove) that had once been a rustic farmhouse. Stuffed popovers were a trademark lunch dish at the restaurant. Kind of a fancy version of chicken and waffles, I guess, sans waffles!

Thoroughly grease a popover pan. If you do not have a popover pan, grease 6 glass custard cups and set them well apart on a baking sheet. Space for the hot air to circulate is crucial to success.<br /><br />In a blender, combine the milk, butter, eggs, and salt. With the motor running, carefully pour the flour in through the hole in the lid (do NOT run the motor with the lid completely off, trust me, you don't want batter in your hair and all over your kitchen.) Blend 2-3 minutes, until there are no lumps. Scrape the sides down with a rubber spatula at least once.<br /><br />Pour the batter into the popover wells or custard cups, filling them about 2/3 full.<br /><br />Now, this is important: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bake in a fully pre-heated oven</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">for 30 minutes WITHOUT PEEKING</span>.<br />If you open the oven door at the wrong time, all will be lost. No one will eat the resulting lumps of styrofoam. I speak from sad experience. A hot oven and undisturbed cooking time is the secret to feathery light, golden popovers.<br /><br />If you prefer your popovers on the crisp side, briefly slide them out of the oven and poke a hole in each one with a skewer. Turn the oven <span style="font-weight: bold;">off </span>and let them sit in it for 5-10 minutes to crisp up.<br />Otherwise, remove your popovers from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then remove from the pan.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Back to the Filling:</span><br />While the popovers are baking, spray a sauce pan with non-stick spray and melt the 2-3 T butter over medium heat.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik45W12-dFd-fCtztuXlz2YGo4oqmd_HUqiIBvUXKVI7GjNlf484BSo9ZjCfCl9xOl5M2fOTUVoQhDUn13h90x_Z_Vy6HSkjPZ7q1jFg7J38aMfwBsg04Uuqg-wAZk9XxVPK-O-zFSDBQ/s1600/DSC02667.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik45W12-dFd-fCtztuXlz2YGo4oqmd_HUqiIBvUXKVI7GjNlf484BSo9ZjCfCl9xOl5M2fOTUVoQhDUn13h90x_Z_Vy6HSkjPZ7q1jFg7J38aMfwBsg04Uuqg-wAZk9XxVPK-O-zFSDBQ/s400/DSC02667.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530480878005177490" border="0" /></a><br />While the butter is melting, you can pour the milk into a glass measure and heat in the microwave until hot but not boiling.<br /><br />When the butter is melted, sprinkle in the 3 T flour and whisk vigorously with a flat whisk for 2-3 minutes.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPdk1obIfgCHiHQJj1MDshK8WceODQ-29dpw-qBYwDr1Uc7Gw8M9-WH-9R6fZUacwkN5D4WagLSlyUq5BjrmWoNNkFIMZGTHANH880HhopLQSfDrAO-8I6s37H_9eDvaK7nXOpUsazMfg/s1600/DSC02666.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 330px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPdk1obIfgCHiHQJj1MDshK8WceODQ-29dpw-qBYwDr1Uc7Gw8M9-WH-9R6fZUacwkN5D4WagLSlyUq5BjrmWoNNkFIMZGTHANH880HhopLQSfDrAO-8I6s37H_9eDvaK7nXOpUsazMfg/s400/DSC02666.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530480868295810066" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZs35UNLkxUpke5id4hRzqIpFFa9zvTFlggZ8TF13G-ua-CLi5HshRnSx6BMKPap5PcLHCBIHjP-Ld5qSL3pyd8fCQZ2dXJdEeqeMnlp-Fi9_pkzlAjk3Vg0bw9QqjEDPDy9tk4tx60_w/s1600/DSC02669.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZs35UNLkxUpke5id4hRzqIpFFa9zvTFlggZ8TF13G-ua-CLi5HshRnSx6BMKPap5PcLHCBIHjP-Ld5qSL3pyd8fCQZ2dXJdEeqeMnlp-Fi9_pkzlAjk3Vg0bw9QqjEDPDy9tk4tx60_w/s400/DSC02669.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530480880685861394" border="0" /></a><br />Add the marjoram, thyme, and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

You want to time it so the popovers are coming out of the oven just as you are adding the vegetables to the pan. If you cover the pan, or if you cook or hold the sauce for too long, your peas won't be pretty anymore.<br /><br />I recall, as a new bride, proudly bringing a rather pretty casserole (or "hot dish" as it was called in Wisconsin) to a church dinner and being horrified upon lifting the lid to discover that my formerly vibrantly green veggies had turned a sad shade of olive drab. "But it was green when I left the house!!" I said. My friend Steve, glancing from the dish to my stricken face, quipped, "How Green Was My Hot Dish!" and quickly moved out of smacking range.<br /><br />Happy memories, and Buen Provecho!Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-9336548752209564142010-10-20T13:58:00.001-07:002010-10-21T05:46:44.716-07:00Frugal Muse: Coupon Index & Deals for 10/17Saving money, especially given the current economic uncertainty, is always A Good Thing.<br />Even if you don't need to economize, why pay more for mundane stuff like toothpaste and shampoo than you need to? You could do something fun with the money you saved, like buy a Kindle or something!<br /><br />I've been experimenting with various ways to organize my stash of coupons. Every week, I pull the coupon inserts from the Sunday newspaper and save them. I also save the sales flyers for the grocery stores where I shop, as well as flyers for CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens. I save the coupon inserts indefinitely, but toss the store flyers as they are replaced by new ones each week.<br /><br />It's a really good idea to save the Rite Aid and Walgreen's flyers, as they issue store coupons in their flyers besides just advertising the sales. Both Rite Aid and Walgreen's will allow you to stack deals by using both a store coupon and a manufacturer's coupon for the same item, which maximizes your savings. Of course, they always have plenty of copies of the flyers at the store, in case you forgot to clip your store coupon. The salesperson will be happy to scan the coupon barcode right from the flyer.<br /><br />Most weeks, there will be two coupon inserts: RedPlum and SmartSource, which contain manufacturer's coupons. Sometimes more than one version of these will be issued in a week. Once a month, Proctor and Gamble issues their own coupon flyer, P&G Saver. General Mills also will issue flyers periodically. I save all of these.<br /><br />I generally like to get more than one copy of each coupon insert, as the same item very often will go on sale more than once before its coupon expires. And of course, when your favorite thing goes on sale and is FREE with a coupon, it's nice to have extra coupons so you can get as many freebies as possible.<br /><br />But what to do with all the inserts you want to save? After several months of experimentation, I have found that what works best for me is to store them in hanging file folders in a file box. I have a plastic Sterilite file box I bought at Walmart that holds a good number of letter-sized hanging folders. That's where I keep the inserts for the most recent 4 months. I keep the older ones in another file box (and yes, I have dug back into them from time to time to get a still-current coupon).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF7-Q1wnLD5UoHRGviC7LMCsyV8vAaI2YbwSX81eBWhYIDKW2DW1Xw5CBcBNeKvJyvfqNoybY0QMJT2TPb0N4CG2WuwzTHWY_w6njfbuRPVxWZqtQJEXoEUjjQkA0tRBD8w9o9YopNEaQ/s1600/DSC02665.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF7-Q1wnLD5UoHRGviC7LMCsyV8vAaI2YbwSX81eBWhYIDKW2DW1Xw5CBcBNeKvJyvfqNoybY0QMJT2TPb0N4CG2WuwzTHWY_w6njfbuRPVxWZqtQJEXoEUjjQkA0tRBD8w9o9YopNEaQ/s400/DSC02665.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530479483642216818" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I organize the folders by date. I make a folder for each week and I put all the coupon inserts for that week in the folder. I used to have separate folders for each insert each week, but having all the inserts for the same week in one place is easier for me.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjAY17WnzEMjFe1cpNuIyJmAkaDZdIS7DRDDVgxet31CmPpt-pYa3wPodC86v-jdSAyMiGWckUQHdhQnmYFKNpQxtxaJH-nWIaT-smtWdXhoLzoPVP35o5lbavwzsRreuWv4BfW0Px0s/s1600/DSC02663.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjAY17WnzEMjFe1cpNuIyJmAkaDZdIS7DRDDVgxet31CmPpt-pYa3wPodC86v-jdSAyMiGWckUQHdhQnmYFKNpQxtxaJH-nWIaT-smtWdXhoLzoPVP35o5lbavwzsRreuWv4BfW0Px0s/s400/DSC02663.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530479477057383346" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I write the date of issue on the front of each insert. You can also find the date in teeny-tiny letters on the spine of the inserts. You may need a magnifying glass to find it, but it's there!<br /><br />If you collect more than one copy of each insert every week, you may want to inter-leave them. I pull all the identical pages out and staple them together. Then I put the pages back together to make one big insert. Now, instead of having 4 separate RedPlums, I have one big one. That way, it's easy to see how many of each coupon I've already used, rather than having to page through 4 separate inserts to find that one last Wheat Thins coupon I thought I had. And if you want to clip out all the coupons you have for an item. it's simple to snip once and get them all at the same time.<br /><br />Even after determining which insert has the best coupon for an item I want, it seems to take me forever to flip through the pages, stalking the elusive coupon.<br /><br />Being the total librarian data dweeb that I am, I finally started writing page numbers on the insert sheets. I now use an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of each coupon and its page number. As time has gone by, I've added more information to my index. I probably should use Access to create a real relational database for all this stuff since I'm taking the time to gather all these discrete data points, but I have not yet descended that far into data delirium.<br /><br />Currently, I list the date, the name of the insert, the item and coupon value, the page number, how many copies of that coupon I have, how many I've used, and the coupon's expiration date. I sort by date (most recent first), then insert, then item, alphabetically. Of course, since the data are in Excel, I can search on any of the words, e.g., Kellogg's, to find a Kelloggs coupon. I can also sort the data in various ways, such as by expiration date, or as I have it now, by the date of the coupon insert.<br /><br />Clearly, I have WAY too much time on my hands.... but it has made it super easy to find and pull the specific coupons I want before heading to the store.<br /><br />Here is an example:<br /><br />10/17 | RedPlum | Kellogg's Rice Krispies/Cocoa Krispies $1/2 | p. 3 | 4 (I have a total of 4 of this coupon) | blank (haven't used any of them yet)| 11/28 (expiration date)<br /><br />So, this coupon is in the Oct. 17 RedPlum; it is for $1 off 2 boxes (total) of Rice Krispies and/or Cocoa Krispies, and it expires on Nov. 28. It's on "page 3" of the insert, and I have 4 of these coupons.<br /><br />Since I've gone to all the trouble to index the coupon inserts for this week, I figured I might as well share my index with you. There are 2 coupon inserts this week, RedPlum & SmartSource.<br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:trackmoves/> <w:trackformatting/>

/>At CVS, when you register for an Extra Care Card, you will be eligible to receive Extra Care Bucks (ECB) to spend towards a future purchase. ECBS print on the bottom of your receipt (so don't throw your receipts away!) and are good for a month. The Extra Care Bucks are included in the amount you will save. As you keep rolling over your ECBs, the amount you will pay at the register will get smaller and smaller! You can also split your purchases into multiple transactions so you can use your ECBs faster.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CVS DEALS (until 10/23)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Schick Hydro 5 Razor: FREE!!</span><br />Orig Price: $9.99 Sale Price: $8.99<br />Coupon: SmartSource 10/3, $4<br />Store Coupon: $5 Extra Care Bucks on purchase of Hydro (limit of 1)<br />Sale Price - Coupon = $4.99; -$5 ECB= FREE<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">% Savings: 100%</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Revlon Matte Eye Shadow, single: 49 cents each (must buy 2)</span><br />Orig price: $4.99 each<br />Coupon: SmartSource 10/10, $1<br />Store Coupon: $7 ECB wyb 2 Revlon Face, Lip, or Eye<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Buy: 2</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use 2 coupons.</span><br />With 2 coupons: cost of 2 eyeshadows: $9.98 - $2 in coupons= $7.98 - $7 ECB = 98 cents, or 49 cents each<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">% Savings: 90%</span><br />With 1 coupon, price for 2 would be $1.98, or 99 cents each<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">% Savings: 80%</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Os-Cal 500 +D Calcium Supplement, 75 ct</span>: <span style="font-weight: bold;">$1.30 each</span><br />Orig Price: $8.59 Sale price: BOGO<br />Coupon: RedPlum 10/10 $3<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Buy: 2</span> (must buy 2 to get BOGO price)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use: 2 coupons</span><br />$8.59- $6 in coupons = $2.59 for 2, $1.30 each<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">% Savings: 85%</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Osteo Bi-Flex Advanced Triple Strength Gelcaps, 40 ct., $4 each</span><br />Original Price: 15.99 Sale price: BOGO<br />Coupon: RedPlum 9/26, $4<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Buy: 2</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use: 2 coupons</span><br />$15.99-$8 in coupons = $7.99 for 2, $4 each<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">% Savings: 75%</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rite Aid Deals</span><br />Rite-Aid now offers something similar to the ECBs at CVS.

Don't get me wrong, I love chicken-- but it's getting hard to think up new and exciting things to do with it. It's been on sale a lot lately, and I guess I stocked up more than I realized!<br /><br />Every time I open the freezer and see still MORE chicken, I think about the old song we used to sing at summer camp. You probably know it too!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhDqprBT-BIi-J8Kr8X7tXU5vHA9r3DRqHnCCsoYeuZqllmIPWyblFAUq0cr8X9m1dJO6bHo9k3FSsdGXBt7n1hO-M0hMep_H6CXdFbL-Zo7C4jNRXHYe8CGXs4jDWoK9ZcGbNJh9Wp4/s1600/Rooster+photo.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 373px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhDqprBT-BIi-J8Kr8X7tXU5vHA9r3DRqHnCCsoYeuZqllmIPWyblFAUq0cr8X9m1dJO6bHo9k3FSsdGXBt7n1hO-M0hMep_H6CXdFbL-Zo7C4jNRXHYe8CGXs4jDWoK9ZcGbNJh9Wp4/s400/Rooster+photo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528097461231712818" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We had a chicken, no eggs she laid,<br />We had a chicken, no eggs she laid.<br />And I said, "Honey, we're losin' money,<br />'cause that chicken, no eggs she laid."<br /><br />And then that rooster came in our yard<br />And caught that chicken right off her guard!<br />And we have EGGS now, just like we used to!<br />Ever since that rooster came in our yard.<br /><br />Each verse gets more ludicrous, from the cow who gave no milk (and we have EGGNOG, just like we used to...) to the gum tree that gave no gum (and we have CHICKLETS just like we used to...) to the Chinese acrobat who did no tricks (and we have EGGROLLS just like we used to...), thanks to that er, helpful rooster!<br /><br />I kinda wish that rooster would stay out of my freezer!

(Maybe they still do. My subscription lapsed ages ago.) Rachael Ray probably wasn't even <span style="font-style: italic;">born</span> yet! Well, maybe she was, as I do recall that DS was in his high chair when I acquired this book.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cheap-Eats-Simple-Sumptuous-Meals/dp/0060966173/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1287111390&sr=1-1"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBy8PII0tltsSzvOan-U8asZ22nDn4fxFEzmWuq2fr-rkUImXkXzgAXPMZqxhsVZKIegi9RXV_GHCr5CLVwpzKsx8rCdX9G0rRpzxII8wdR3-v9HawJy2758z9yvjjYeOG-I75yeWRXts/s400/Cheap+Eats.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528101778326734738" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh16hjDqYcLma8Nn3a507ERfXJFy3FcUmsKLLiq2AvI-M58724PKp4Nkk3ONMWQdP8B8cCoD_Aat6IsXIIz76IEpJeGSu-dBtVqdKawb-4Wvvztzj2lNz8rEPIC36SLrdcknr53OV7Cc1s/s1600/DS_High_Chair.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 353px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh16hjDqYcLma8Nn3a507ERfXJFy3FcUmsKLLiq2AvI-M58724PKp4Nkk3ONMWQdP8B8cCoD_Aat6IsXIIz76IEpJeGSu-dBtVqdKawb-4Wvvztzj2lNz8rEPIC36SLrdcknr53OV7Cc1s/s400/DS_High_Chair.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528106802502842034" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />I am rather fond of this little cookbook, which is subtitled <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">"Simple, Sumptuous Meals For Four You Can Make for Under $10."</span> That loud clunk you heard just now was probably Coupon Mom, fainting, since she makes meals for her family of 4 for under $3!! The fun thing about the cookbook is that it's organized by the season of the year and gives complete menus with recipes that are appropriate for the time of the year. Presumably this is because fresh, local and seasonal food would be less expensive. Since dreaming up side dishes is always such a bore, I love the menu feature!<br /><br />To break out of my chicken rut a bit, I made this simple but unusual recipe from <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Cheap Eats</span>: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chicken With Garlic Vinegar Sauce.</span> (Shhhhh!! Don't tell anyone, but it's from the Spring section of the book.) DS, who is as fond of intense flavor as I am, loves this recipe. And why not? He was born in the year of (you guessed it!) The rooster!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9mINvDgkQbCrjNHUkBQ3t0e8HFjJ4d7j7DhprsyANYI7hJsxQNkdSOWH55XSoGndL-eHDFUtpVnI_RsuHorDUsOOG6mEmq2RKeKARZfBvw_wslcPGizsBihwfo6sAjQJdxpns47MLZrw/s1600/Vintage+rooster+label.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9mINvDgkQbCrjNHUkBQ3t0e8HFjJ4d7j7DhprsyANYI7hJsxQNkdSOWH55XSoGndL-eHDFUtpVnI_RsuHorDUsOOG6mEmq2RKeKARZfBvw_wslcPGizsBihwfo6sAjQJdxpns47MLZrw/s400/Vintage+rooster+label.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528097727471830434" border="0" /></a><br />Despite its humdrum name, this dish is a real change of pace. It's hard to believe something so delicious could come from such simple ingredients. The authors state that "This is an easy-to-make but absolutely stunning dinner for family or special guests. The chicken and the potatoes are inspired by the gutsy, delicious food served in romantic French Bistros."<br />To me, this dish has a vaguely Spanish flavor.

I prefer this dish served over a neutral-flavored grain like rice because the sauce is so wonderful you need something to sop it up with! Alas, no asparagus or lemon mousse for us. I served the chicken on a bed of whole grain white rice (?? that's what the label said!) with the frozen veggie du jour.<br /><br />I forgot to take pictures, but it's no great loss since like many stews, this is not a particularly photo-worthy dish.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chicken With Garlic Vinegar Sauce<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cheap-Eats-Simple-Sumptuous-Meals/dp/0060966173/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1287111390&sr=1-1">from Cheap Eats</a></span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_vc330AmMRssNC4D1tRWobxkUgLXHVguUHexx3ISrjzyvoc_0UxIpoYMBQJsfuuiBIhARn_woJH-xZKaNciDZF1w_H8P6d6GtLSxUp6C428kt5e6fK3sEuSnrogUZAAC8uTjDFBz9qKc/s1600/Rooster.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 397px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_vc330AmMRssNC4D1tRWobxkUgLXHVguUHexx3ISrjzyvoc_0UxIpoYMBQJsfuuiBIhARn_woJH-xZKaNciDZF1w_H8P6d6GtLSxUp6C428kt5e6fK3sEuSnrogUZAAC8uTjDFBz9qKc/s400/Rooster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528097458183901810" border="0" /></a><br /></div><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Serves 4</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><br />2 1/2-3 lbs. cut-up chicken parts (see note)</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">1/4 t. salt</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">1/4 t. black pepper</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">3 garlic cloves, minced </span><span style="font-style: italic;">(I used more, of course!)</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">1/2 t. dried thyme leaves</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">1/2 t. dried rosemary</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">3 T red wine vinegar (see note)</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">1 16 oz. can stewed tomatoes </span><span style="font-style: italic;">(good luck finding THAT nowadays!

Add the chicken and saute over medium-high heat, turning, for about 10 minutes, or until browned all over. Use tongs to remove the chicken to a plate. Pour off all but 1 T of drippings.<br />2. Add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet and cook over low heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning. (Indeed. it can burn slap up quicker than you would think!) Add the vinegar and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, breaking up large chunks of tomatoes with the back of a spoon. (Hallelujah for canned diced tomatoes!)<br />3. Return the chicken to the skillet, skin side up, also add any juices that have accumulated on the plate <span style="font-weight: bold;">(see note)</span>. Partially cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer 5-8 minutes longer, until the chicken is cooked through with no trace of pink near the bone, and the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened. Spoon off any excess fat that may have risen to the surface. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.<br /><br />That's all there is to it!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5N1CAyaYmIjg-7-E91AMtyx_9FexVkgGHCLMc_U3eqg7xpHtogRgEMwTl8BYBYQlHJanGCcOXDctEos6MefBE40sp3Y64xRIP7DPPCZgqAj1WSfDd-dqnfaYMX-cE_ffQobrUkPZpGZE/s1600/ProvenceRoosterPlatter1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 297px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5N1CAyaYmIjg-7-E91AMtyx_9FexVkgGHCLMc_U3eqg7xpHtogRgEMwTl8BYBYQlHJanGCcOXDctEos6MefBE40sp3Y64xRIP7DPPCZgqAj1WSfDd-dqnfaYMX-cE_ffQobrUkPZpGZE/s400/ProvenceRoosterPlatter1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528097450575388882" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here are my notes:</span><br /><br />1. I used split breasts for this recipe, but boneless, skinless chicken also works quite well. If you use skinless chicken, the dish is a tad less flavorful, but you won't have to worry about draining or skimming off any excess fat. (It would also make Dr. Oz happier.)<br />2. I had run out of red wine vinegar, so I used 1 T balsamic vinegar and 2 T white wine vinegar. You could experiment with different kinds of vinegar to see what you prefer. This combination was quite delicious.<br />3. I also am apparently out of stewed tomatoes, so I used plain diced tomatoes. I added 1 t. of brown sugar to the skillet to compensate.<br />4. I am sure I don't need to tell you this, but since I would hate for anyone to get food poisoning, I'm going to anyway. Make sure you thoroughly wash the plate the chicken was on in plenty of hot soapy water before using it again-- to avoid the possibility of cross-contamination with other foods. Both the prevalence and virulence of food-borne pathogens is just scary these days!<br /><br />Er, uh, Bon appetit!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YxC09IfHSxPEotRd2XpIXiUuAOF3L5E60mMmlOh_4vBgAFOwQk1dcYLLvjdI4hpdG0R4_e-C3C5NPuzA5FDc_OBmTL6OKbtHmb4maqv1Kq4XnFVONC_t2nVmJuch_4xQo_cz31-8E0E/s1600/Kitchen+with+rooster.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YxC09IfHSxPEotRd2XpIXiUuAOF3L5E60mMmlOh_4vBgAFOwQk1dcYLLvjdI4hpdG0R4_e-C3C5NPuzA5FDc_OBmTL6OKbtHmb4maqv1Kq4XnFVONC_t2nVmJuch_4xQo_cz31-8E0E/s400/Kitchen+with+rooster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528097441887217906" border="0" /></a>Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-84231141070167193102010-10-05T04:31:00.000-07:002010-10-05T08:07:38.932-07:00Meal Deal Menu Plan<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-1ehFVJrmrBmzSDVjK3KnV2408Wx67AtxyN4N_GUBp_vbdMwxZR0h_azfIU-1DISMradK8lv1Eqgdw6mFj8NCN5xBn0HqJ5D8E_hgLFI_LeSaAujk-gkAmBtWn3QfnkqluHJ95Ib_z8Q/s1600/thrifty-book.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 297px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-1ehFVJrmrBmzSDVjK3KnV2408Wx67AtxyN4N_GUBp_vbdMwxZR0h_azfIU-1DISMradK8lv1Eqgdw6mFj8NCN5xBn0HqJ5D8E_hgLFI_LeSaAujk-gkAmBtWn3QfnkqluHJ95Ib_z8Q/s400/thrifty-book.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524572946195164130" border="0" /></a><br />(This book looks interesting!)<br /><br />I'm trying to make better use of leftovers these days, as well as taking advantage of store specials when I plan meals. I also try to plan meals around what's already in the pantry/freezer. This does sometimes really put my ingenuity to the test! I know a lot of you already do this and are really good at it! My domestic education was rather lacking.<br /><br />I am so envious of <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://agoodappetite.blogspot.com/">Kat and Matt's </a>GENIUS ability to generate really fabulous, creative food based on their weekly CSA box of fresh veggies! Do check out their wonderful blog, <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://agoodappetite.blogspot.com/">A Good Appetite.</a><br /><br />I am working on a better system for organizing and keeping track of my pantry & freezer, which should make strategic menu planning a little easier. Also working on an easy way to determine price per serving for my recipes. Now, if I could just remember the little things, like limes for marinating my London broil, while I'm still at the store, rather than at the stove, I'd be in good shape!<br /><br />The best deals on meats this week in my area are at Lowe's Foods and Kroger. It's a little hard to define "this week" since the sales cycles vary at the different stores. The Kroger shopping week (along with CVS, Rite-Aid and Walgreens) runs from Sunday through Saturday. The shopping week at the Teeter and Lowe's Foods (also Food Lion) runs from Wednesday through Tuesday. I hit Kroger on Sat. and the Teeter yesterday, and will run into Lowe's later today. (They are almost never out of their specials, even on the last day.) We're in a new week at Kroger, but at Lowe's and the Teeter, the specials are still good through today.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnubVDCYDDpO4Sy4Ui8dTghMzpxvmPLbB23UyBsLR8CcSifc6VsaxsBMoryyTI62h7iKxD38Y5FtJvJDTsYr2qkq6GVm901kJwj9GfmGf2UiHk-EzGPmTRQ2GYzq8-FapioVmlKq3xkw/s1600/thrifty+lady-thumb-400x319.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnubVDCYDDpO4Sy4Ui8dTghMzpxvmPLbB23UyBsLR8CcSifc6VsaxsBMoryyTI62h7iKxD38Y5FtJvJDTsYr2qkq6GVm901kJwj9GfmGf2UiHk-EzGPmTRQ2GYzq8-FapioVmlKq3xkw/s400/thrifty+lady-thumb-400x319.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524573365430098066" border="0" /></a><br />At Lowe's, London broil is on sale for $2.49/lb, 58% savings (today only, as prices change tomorrow). At Kroger, the deals (good until Sun.) are boneless pork loin for $1.77 /lb (61% savings) and Tyson boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1.97/lb (51% savings). The boneless pork loin is fantastic, because I can ask the butcher to cut them into thick pork chops, which I can freeze and pull out as I need them for DS and me.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTJY1rLeJRHMYfJT6C0A3XnZ7lgi7tKnNGyOY6VJlwsUJY4WI2K44AVSdCVeniXpCwSes6IHjPaX0kP5C1qzc38ON-egbq2k_YuUZa3h8eejuBFahwKgV2gahEeofTFvZhAZp06XO6MZ0/s1600/forties+small.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTJY1rLeJRHMYfJT6C0A3XnZ7lgi7tKnNGyOY6VJlwsUJY4WI2K44AVSdCVeniXpCwSes6IHjPaX0kP5C1qzc38ON-egbq2k_YuUZa3h8eejuBFahwKgV2gahEeofTFvZhAZp06XO6MZ0/s400/forties+small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524574772348596370" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here's the plan:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Monday: Chicken fried rice (with leftover boneless chicken breast, frozen brown rice, broccoli and mushrooms).</span><br />I got the BirdsEye Steam Fresh frozen brown rice on sale last week at Lowe's Foods for 64 cents with a coupon. Monday morning I had to run into the Teeter to pick up bananas and found the mushrooms reduced "for quick sale" to 99 cents for a half-lb. package. They looked and smelled perfectly fresh.<br /><br />The stir-fry, which I flavored using garlic, onions, soy sauce, dry sherry, and dark sesame oil, was quite tasty. DS is crazy about anything resembling Japanese food, and he cleaned his plate (except for a small pile of sliced onions, oy vey!) Scallions are good in fried rice, too, but DS objects to them. Sigh. After learning what we were having, he inquired hopefully "with egg??" Yes, with egg. I think his favorite part is the beaten-egg "pancake" I slice into strips and toss in at the end. This recipe goes well with egg-drop soup into which a few handfuls of baby spinach are tossed just before serving. Unfortunately, DS's braces and spinach leaves don't get along.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tuesday: Chicken noodle soup</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">and muffins.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">(Cook once, eat twice-- see Sunday.)</span><br />I'm making homemade soup with a whole chicken that was on sale Sat. at Kroger for $.59/lb., along with a bag of frozen mixed veggies (64 cents at Lowe's last week) and some free egg noodles I got a while ago. I have a few packages of muffin mix in the pantry that I think I got for 17 cents each at Food Lion, but if I have the ingredients, I will make some Brown Bread muffins, which DS likes. DS has the sinus crud and this soup should be just the ticket for him.<br /><br />Out of my $3 chicken, I will not only be able to make this soup, but also have plenty of homemade chicken stock left for other uses. It does not fit in my teeny-tiny freezer, but we've found anything we shove in the very back of the fridge will freeze. This lovely "feature" lets me hang onto homemade broth for a week or two.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wednesday: Apple pork loin chops <a href="http://coleensrecipes.blogspot.com/2010/09/crock-pot-pork-and-apples.html">(Coleen's recipe)</a> on brown rice with green beans and baked sweet potatoes.</span><br />I just love <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://coleensrecipes.blogspot.com/2010/09/crock-pot-pork-and-apples.html">Coleen's blog.</a> It's a gem, and she is a wonderful cook. I can't wait to try this recipe. When I saw that Granny Smith apples were on sale at Kroger on Sat. (.99/lb), I knew this would be the perfect recipe! I got some Birds Eye SteamFresh green beans for 45 cents with a coupon at Lowe's last week. Birds Eye Steam Fresh veggies are on sale this week at the Teeter (60 cents each with a coupon: SmartSource 9/19, sale ends today)<br /><a href="http://coleensrecipes.blogspot.com/2010/09/crock-pot-pork-and-apples.html"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OO1expxyXoE/TJ8VJpUdExI/AAAAAAAAEpg/8DEw-2LCaUI/s400/pork+and+apples.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Thursday: Double tacos (with homemade guacamole & marinated London broil) with rice and beans.</span><br />I got the tacos on sale a couple of weeks ago during the SuperDoubles at the Teeter. Kroger has Haas avocadoes ($2.49/4) and slicing tomatoes ($.99/lb) on sale this week. The Teeter has Mahatma rice mix on sale (FREE with a coupon, RedPlum 8/29, sale ends today). I have some Bush's Grillin' beans in the pantry that I got on sale a couple of months ago.<br />You can see my <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://domestickmuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-cheatin-heart-tacos-and-award.html">taco-making technique here.</a><br /><a href="http://domestickmuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-cheatin-heart-tacos-and-award.html"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TUOhCLH_SLzdUiGjhobjlLuXEYfvcLzUEBYIaEtydSSHMxww20PASJpKMHDi47if7StleMvL-RSRsmIJrFNd-rdJvRh-Ai6ow8AeimdDH5gBMNZDzo-u_Yju7dsElJcf23u1Qi5PnWE/s400/DSC01389small.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday: split Chicken Breasts with Tomato, Garlic & Vinegar sauce, whole grain white rice, & avocado and tomato salad.</span><br />This is a great chicken recipe, sort of vaguely Spanish-style, from an ancient Brooke Dojny & Melanie Barnard cookbook called Cheap Eats. Although it's not especially blogworthy, I will post the recipe and photos Friday or Saturday.<br /><br />Got the split breasts on sale at Kroger on Sat (.99/lb), as well as the Uncle Ben's whole-grain white rice (75 cents with a coupon). The Teeter has both Del Monte canned tomatoes and Hunts canned tomatoes on sale this week (sale ends today; 60 cents a can for the Del Monte with a coupon: RedPlum 9/19, and 70 cents a can for the Hunts with a coupon: SmartSource 10/3)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday: Idaho sunrise (egg baked in a twice-baked potato) and tomato soup.</span><br /><a href="http://domestickmuse.blogspot.com/2009/02/apple-to-astonish-paris.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Idaho sunrise recipe is here</span></a>. It is one of DS's favorites. Born-Free Cage Free eggs are on sale at the Teeter ($1.48 with a coupon: RedPlum 9/12; sale ends today) and I got some Progresso soup on sale with a coupon at the Teeter a couple of weeks ago for 50 cents a can.<br /><a href="http://domestickmuse.blogspot.com/2009/02/apple-to-astonish-paris.html"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ymjnCfhgRKQ/SZhWBICnPRI/AAAAAAAAA5E/hYiwJGzoia8/s400/DSC00724.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sunday: Chicken "pot-pie" popovers (made with "planned-over" chicken soup from Tuesday) with steamed </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">fresh </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">broccoli and salad.<br /></span>I love this popover recipe, even if it is a bit "ladies-who-lunch"-ish. It is such a nice way to use up small amounts of cooked chicken and veggies. Lowe's usually has bagged salad mix on sale, so I'll pop in Sunday to pick some up. I do have some<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>frozen broccoli on hand, but the texture of it is rather unpleasant to eat it by itself, though it's LOADS better than frozen broccoli used to be. It works wonderfully in recipes (DS loves it in "quiche"-- I will have to share that super easy dairy-FULL recipe sometime). Zelda also likes it mixed in with her dog food.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOMk6oonddLGF7D9gL2Zz8uZF6v6xOR9wmdv6Y41BI5SdbS0QJW7ZS1O-0SUBbYUsKaip42vfjGJ806ASCZtsD-8j0EKix8ZbKI1la5rMK9nku6m_xIKJnfaMis5N5MNHQPlyZHSbqTBA/s1600/anne+tainntor+housewife+Anne+Taintor.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 380px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOMk6oonddLGF7D9gL2Zz8uZF6v6xOR9wmdv6Y41BI5SdbS0QJW7ZS1O-0SUBbYUsKaip42vfjGJ806ASCZtsD-8j0EKix8ZbKI1la5rMK9nku6m_xIKJnfaMis5N5MNHQPlyZHSbqTBA/s400/anne+tainntor+housewife+Anne+Taintor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524574768253946226" border="0" /></a>Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-20427079978361418822010-09-29T16:09:00.001-07:002010-09-29T18:12:39.565-07:00Easy Breezy Shrimp PastaThere are days for lovingly simmering pasta sauce for hours. Then there are days like today, when we leave the house in the morning and don't return until 11 hours later, famished. This recipe is a tried-and-true lifesaver for a busy day. Quick, delicious, easy. I've been making it for years. Using bottled pasta sauce as the base saves <span style="font-style: italic;">mucho tiempo</span>-- and the ingredients you add will make it taste as good as homemade.<br /><br />Some of my ingredients:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RXA3S4qG3YGHsamh8-3KAZnZRGehoHuOf5ZnZrCm3WoA-Y6m9jX0k6VHvLvc3XCKvoOYA1vw92wrevFs1Pdvz158N2yL2uvQ6ZFA9h6bghvvQbia7kC0U25pIwd9n7VsxdDXUBAB7qc/s1600/DSC02650.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RXA3S4qG3YGHsamh8-3KAZnZRGehoHuOf5ZnZrCm3WoA-Y6m9jX0k6VHvLvc3XCKvoOYA1vw92wrevFs1Pdvz158N2yL2uvQ6ZFA9h6bghvvQbia7kC0U25pIwd9n7VsxdDXUBAB7qc/s400/DSC02650.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522505317990291954" border="0" /></a><br />I LOVE that the wine is called French Maid!! (Hey, it was on sale!)<br /><br />The great thing about this recipe is that it is very flexible and you can vary the ingredients depending on what you have on hand. No shrimp? Chicken works fine. So do those frozen meatballs. No peppers? No problem. Just leave 'em out. Want to use fresh herbs instead of dried? Go right ahead-- just wait to add them until the last minute or so of cooking. I've used linguine here, but you can use whatever kind of pasta you like. Also, we love things SPICY. If you don't, use a smaller amount of pepper flakes.<br /><br /><br />The shrimp version is a big favorite of DS's and we haven't had shrimp in quite a while. Since I got both the pasta and bottled pasta sauce FREE with coupons, I decided to splurge on the shrimp (on sale for half price). Actually, I got ALL the ingredients at a discount-- so I made this dish in <span style="font-style: italic;">poco tiempo</span> for <span style="font-style: italic;">poco dinero</span>!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaVRe_OBL5JpU_4aRDtBVi3a3DSyPxe-ra2YeewoTxqjhmz_Pl2fuF4gW6U7uH2oSXPSluDrAUuoog2pvHP0NL8A_F7Reg-bBVq-KC1-HIXbUKy21oGAjBa3Gewm9WDYti5oPhG89XA7I/s1600/DSC02657.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaVRe_OBL5JpU_4aRDtBVi3a3DSyPxe-ra2YeewoTxqjhmz_Pl2fuF4gW6U7uH2oSXPSluDrAUuoog2pvHP0NL8A_F7Reg-bBVq-KC1-HIXbUKy21oGAjBa3Gewm9WDYti5oPhG89XA7I/s400/DSC02657.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522505625838082082" border="0" /></a><br />Unfortunately, this dish is kind of like me: not very photogenic!

Set a large heavy skillet over medium heat.<br />When the onions are chopped, spray the skillet with nonstick spray and add the olive oil. Add the onions to the pan and saute until translucent. Add the peppers and saute for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute (don't let it burn!). Add the eggplant and sprinkle with 1/2 t. salt. Saute for 3-4 minutes, until starting to get tender.<br />Increase the heat to medium high and add the wine. Bring to a boil, and cook until wine is almost completely evaporated. Add the oregano, basil and thyme and stir for about a minute.<br />Add the bottled pasta sauce. Fill the "empty" jar halfway with water, put the lid on tightly and shake to get all the remnants of sauce out of the jar. Add the water/sauce mixture to the pan, along with the sugar. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, until thickened.<br /><br />Here's my sauce, starting to simmer<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyADU98VQzJxRufsX67PMyj15tm4CvxmNQXyaeFJZKh7V2EbmOYjE8B30oMSaxFVDMjJJ7yub5uQT9uxMve5DYd5yncuXMxK0vvhlLLOzxVahhm54K-VqqDkNyywUo2A6r0T1BS6amEA8/s1600/DSC02651.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyADU98VQzJxRufsX67PMyj15tm4CvxmNQXyaeFJZKh7V2EbmOYjE8B30oMSaxFVDMjJJ7yub5uQT9uxMve5DYd5yncuXMxK0vvhlLLOzxVahhm54K-VqqDkNyywUo2A6r0T1BS6amEA8/s400/DSC02651.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522505323206639938" border="0" /></a><br /><br />At this point, add your pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente (7-9 minutes, depending on what kind you're using). Drain the cooked pasta.<br /><br />Taste the sauce at this point to check the seasoning. When I tasted my sauce, it Needed Something. So I added 1 T of balsamic vinegar and more red pepper flakes. That did the trick. (A bit of grated orange zest would have been nice too, but I didn't have any oranges.) Now add the capers and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.<br /><br />Finally, reduce the heat to medium and add the shrimp. Stir until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes. If you are using fresh herbs, add them now. When the shrimp is cooked through, add the pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.<br /><br />Some chopped Italian parsley would have been a nice addition at this point, but I forgot to pick some up. By all means, feel free to add grated cheese if you like.<br /><br />DS's bowl, up close & personal<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1yEdtEjuPmadsMdozthpJyc1obdKlxNbPloWMcDLla7fDrvikvyv0yVEwBCjMxzZwUJjJ0_W2veKwjKa2tKyyrn0HGVHnIbnbDMGVIVtZK6ftO2qVCPLcvairteIJ8pwW5dVYvI97Vj0/s1600/DSC02655.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1yEdtEjuPmadsMdozthpJyc1obdKlxNbPloWMcDLla7fDrvikvyv0yVEwBCjMxzZwUJjJ0_W2veKwjKa2tKyyrn0HGVHnIbnbDMGVIVtZK6ftO2qVCPLcvairteIJ8pwW5dVYvI97Vj0/s400/DSC02655.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522505333916371874" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> The basic components of this infinitely flexible sauce are 1)onion & garlic sauteed in olive oil, 2)protein & veggie(s) of choice, 3)wine or vodka, 4)Italian herbs (fresh or dried) of choice, 5)bottled pasta sauce of choice, 6)flavor booster of choice.

Add the browned meat or chicken back to the pan when you add the bottled pasta sauce. Frozen meatballs and can be dumped in when you add the pasta sauce.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> Many combinations of vegetables will work great here, depending on what you like. Peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, and zucchini in various combinations are all delicious. I have not had good luck with cruciferous veggies like broccoli or cauliflower, but you may.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> some of the "flavor boosters" we enjoy are capers, drained, marinated artichoke hearts, green or black olives, fennel seed (add with the other herbs), grated orange zest, & balsamic vinegar.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> it's really important to add only minimal amounts of salt as you go, because the sauce will get saltier as it thickens. A bit of salt draws the moisture out of eggplant and helps it cook better. Some ingredients, like capers or olives, are salty, too. You can always ADD more salt if the sauce needs it, but you can't take salt out! So wait until the sauce is pretty much done before adding salt to taste.<br /><br />LET'S EAT!!Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-85834551314644841992010-09-27T08:18:00.000-07:002010-09-27T10:31:03.194-07:00Is It Worth It To Clip Coupons?I started my coupon experiment in January to see if I could do anything about lowering my astronomical grocery bill. I should mention that my groceries mostly consisted of organic meat, poultry, fish & dairy items, fresh produce, whole grains, baking supplies, and condiments. I did not purchase much in the way of packaged snack foods (except for DS's school lunches), beverages, or convenience foods. I was very skeptical about whether using coupons would do me any good.<br /><br />While it is true that you won't generally see coupons for items like chicken and fresh produce, I have been able to lower my grocery bills substantially by observing a few tips.<br /><br />First of all, the main idea is to<br /><ul><li>Use coupons to enhance a TRUE sale</li></ul>By doing this you will generally save 50% 0r more on the items you purchase.<br /><br />So let's break this idea down:<br /><ul><li> Maximize your savings by pairing a coupon with a sale item.</li><li>A rule of thumb is, do not purchase an item unless it is on sale and you have a coupon.</li></ul><br />The second key part is recognizing a TRUE sale. Lots of store ads will feature "sale" items whose sale price is not that much better than the regular price. Grocery items have a price cycle that is generally about 12 weeks long. At some point during that cycle, the price of that item is going to hit rock bottom. THIS is when you want to buy--<br /><ul><li>BUY when the item is at its lowest price and you have a coupon.</li></ul>Obviously, you should not purchase items you will not use, even if you have a coupon. (Though I'm sure I don't have to tell you this!)<br /><br />How do you know when an item is at its lowest price? Well, one way is by just being familiar with the prices of the items you purchase most often. <a href="http://www.couponmom.com"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Coupon Mom</span></a> suggests taking this a step farther by keeping a "price book" to track the prices. In your price book, you would list the item, the date, the price, and the store. There are various ways to organize your price book. One way is to use a page for each item, so you can track the prices easily over time. Is this tedious? Yes. But knowing when to buy can save you A LOT of money.<br /><br />An easier way to do this is to refer to <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.couponmom.com/grocery-deals-by-state-4">Coupon Mom's weekly list</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>for the deals at your particular store. This list is great because it's a)free to use, b)correlates available coupons with the sale items for that week at your store, and c)shows you the percentage you will save with the coupon. You can figure that anything that will give you a savings of at least 50% when you use a coupon is probably a pretty good deal.<br /><br />The next important idea is one I got from Coupon Mom's book.<br /><ul><li>When is the WORST time to buy something?</li><li>When you need it!!</li></ul>If you've run out of mayonnaise and you have to go out and buy a jar, you will probably end up paying full price for it. You may save a bit by purchasing the store brand. However, consider this: if you had been tracking the price for Hellmann's (in my opinion the best, and usually most expensive, brand), waited for it to go on sale for its rock bottom price and THEN purchased it with a coupon, (even though you didn't NEED mayonnaise at that point), you would have saved a bundle over the store brand price, PLUS you would have a higher quality product.<br /><ul><li>When an item is at its lowest price and you have coupons for it, buy more than you need.</li></ul><ul><li>This way, you will always have a stash of the items you use, at greatly discounted prices, and you will not have to pay full price the next time you need them!</li></ul>I think of this as the "pantry" or "stockpiling" principle.<br /><br />*TIP: SAVE, don't clip. Pull out the coupon inserts from your Sunday paper, and write the date on the top of them. Save them, and just clip the coupons you need before you head to the store. Coupon Mom's list is ideal for this, as it gives the name and date of the insert in which the coupon appeared. E.g., R 9/19: that means the coupon is in the Sept. 19 Red Plum insert.<br /><br />The great thing about this method is that you don't have to organize a giant pile of clipped out coupons every week. Plus, you never know when you might want a coupon for something that you hadn't anticipated. By saving the entire coupon insert, you have ALL the coupons for each week!<br /><br />*TIP: To help with stockpiling when items are at their best price, it's worth it to collect extra copies of the coupon inserts each week. When I first started out, I tried to have 4 copies of each for every week. You can do this by purchasing an extra newspaper subscription, asking friends/family to save inserts for you, or just buying an extra copy of the Sunday paper at the store. That way, when that joyous day comes when Sale Price + Coupon = FREE ITEM, you will be able to get MULTIPLE free items because you will have multiple coupons for that item!<br /><br />My mom lives in a retirement home and every Sunday, she LOVES to run around picking up all the extra coupon inserts she can find for me. (Her fellow residents don't use them.) It's a great way for her to know she's doing something nice for DS and me without having to spend any money.<br /><br />Plus, when I find things I know she likes that are on sale, I am able to purchase them for her with my extra coupons! She loves the Lavender/Vanilla Febreeze Air Effects room spray, but told me she doesn't buy it very often because it's "expensive." Imagine her delight when I was able to present her with 4 bottles of it, that I had paid next to nothing for with coupons!<br /><br />You may be wondering, how does this all work? Or, could this really work for me? Let me use a recent shopping trip as an example.<br /><br />This past week, God bless 'em, the Teeter had "Super Doubles." Normally, they will double the face value of a coupon up to 99 cents. During Super Doubles week, they double the face value up to $1.98!! That means if you have a $1.50 coupon, you will save $3 on the item!<br /><br />I purchased 32 items. Most of these were for DS's school lunches. I had coupons for all but 2. I bought:<br />1 jar of Truvia sweetener<br />2 boxes Fiber One Chewy Bars<br />2 boxes Betty Crocker Fruit Gushers<br />2 boxes Nature Valley Trail Mix granola bars<br />2 pkg Keebler Deluxe Fudge Grahams<br />1 Gain dish liquid<br />6 cans Progresso soup<br />2 boxes Ritz Munchables<br />1 pkg Old El Paso Taco shells (no coupon, but on sale for 95 cents each, regular price $1.99 = 52% savings)<br />1 pkg Old El Paso tortillas (same)<br />24-pack of Deer Park water (had a rain check from when item was on sale for $2.99)<br />2 South Asia noodle bowls<br />1 Colgate Total Advanced Whitening toothpaste<br />3 pkg Pillsbury Toaster Strudels<br />1 Wanchai Ferry frozen meal kit<br />1 can Pillsbury cinnamon roll dough<br />1 can Pillsbury orange danish dough<br />1 pkg John Morrell Hot Off the Bone sliced chicken<br />1 Dayquil Mucus Control<br /><br />Let me highlight a few of these items.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Colgate Total Advanced Whitening toothpaste, 4 oz.</span><br />Regular price: $3.39<br />Sale price: 2 for $5 ($2.50 ea.)<br />Coupon: $1 (from 9/12 SmartSaver)<br /> $2.50 (sale price)<br />- $2.00 coupon (coupon doubled, so worth $2)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">= $0.50 final price</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">savings of 85%</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">John Morrell Hot Off the Bone Sliced Chicken, 8-10 oz.</span><br />Regular price: $4.99<br />Sale price: BOGO ($2.49 ea)<br />Coupon: $1 (from 8/29 SmartSaver)<br /> $2.49 (sale price)<br />- $2.00 (doubled coupon value)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">= 49 cents final price, savings of 90%</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2 Simply Asia Noodle Bowls, 8.5 oz.</span><br />Regular price: $3.19 ea.<br />Sale price: BOGO<br />Coupon: $1 on 2 (from 8/29 Red Plum)<br /> $3.19 (sale price for 2 bowls)<br />- $2 (doubled coupon value)<br />= $1.19, <span style="font-weight: bold;">final price for 2 bowls, 60 cents each</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">savings of 81%</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dayquil Mucus Control, 10 oz.</span><br />Regular price: $6.99<br />Sale price: $3.49 (close out)<br />Coupon: $1.50 (from 8/29 Proctor & Gamble)<br /> $3.49<br />- $3.00 (doubled coupon value)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">= 49 cents final price, savings of 93%</span><br /><br />I was also able to take advantage of an additional promotion going on for General Mills: Buy 20 General Mills items in one transaction, get $6 deducted from your total bill before tax.<br /><br />Here are the stats for this trip:<br />Original price: <span style="font-weight: bold;">$117.78</span><br />-Store sales: $44.22<br />-Coupons: $30.99<br />-GM promo: $6<br />Final price: <span style="font-weight: bold;">$36.57</span><br />$ saved: <span style="font-weight: bold;">$81.21</span><br />% saved: <span style="font-weight: bold;">69%</span><br /><br />So, is it worth it?

DS has to get up sooooooo early in the a.m. for school that celebrating tonight wasn't really an option. So yesterday, as often happens, my BFF, Todd, and I called each other at the exact same time to suggest getting together for dinner. So, dinner and a movie at my house was the plan. Over the years, we have spent many an enjoyable afternoon Doing Something (like going to a pottery festival or the art museum) and then cooking dinner together afterwards. Todd even cheerfully watched every episode of Glee in my DVD set this summer.<br /><br />Here are Todd & DS at the Sanford Pottery Festival:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheh0Ly3tKj_EIzWaLeUcYgfsiXJTYM-5qXQhnBDTpfRVJ3RNKq7b8IhGSHTBvD1qNimtWufZ-eTbYSuSiFXyY47haGBBqbhDAtHtZLIwnto0NEY81p04sPmhgiGgZovHDfMn8lhrsdd7k/s1600/DSC01881.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheh0Ly3tKj_EIzWaLeUcYgfsiXJTYM-5qXQhnBDTpfRVJ3RNKq7b8IhGSHTBvD1qNimtWufZ-eTbYSuSiFXyY47haGBBqbhDAtHtZLIwnto0NEY81p04sPmhgiGgZovHDfMn8lhrsdd7k/s400/DSC01881.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513936709100705970" border="0" /></a><br />I'm pretty sure this was the day we whipped up <a href="http://texas-to-mexico.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dee's</span></a> fabulous <a href="http://texas-to-mexico.blogspot.com/2009/04/minnesota-visitor-tex-mex-food-south-of.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Easy Sour Cream Enchiladas </span></a>and some borracho beans to go with 'em back at my house post-festival.<br /><br /><a href="http://girlichef.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Girlichef</span></a> has one of the most awesome food blogs on the planet (if you haven't been <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://girlichef.blogspot.com/">there</a>, check it out ASAP!) . I remember when her blog had a cute subtitle referencing her "fun-size kitchen." Well, my kitchen is so small I'm not sure it even qualifies as "fun-size!" It really kinda drives me nuts. You get out two bowls and an ingredient or two, and the whole place is trashed. Uff-da!!<br /><br />Due to the difficulty of preparing ANYTHING in what passes for my kitchen, our feast was somewhat minimalist. I made 2 dishes from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Veganomicon</span>:</span> Hot-Sauced Glazed Tempeh, and Pineapple-Cashew-Quinoa Stir-fry. (I chose these recipes because I had most of the ingredients on-hand already! Hey, it's Labor Day-- I didn't want to be laboring all day at the grocery!) For dessert, we had sorta-vegan crepes. Todd, just returned from a trip to Michigan to visit his fam, brought us back some Vernor's (America's oldest soft drink) to go with. His last 2 bottles in fact: what a pal!<br /><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hot-Sauce Glazed Tempeh</span> from the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Veganomicon-Ultimate-Isa-Chandra-Moskowitz/dp/156924264X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283884818&sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Veganomicon</span></a> is out of this world! I have to tell you, tempeh is one of those "whole foods" I have just never been able to get behind. Todd (who mostly eats vegetarian) also suffers from Tempeh Terror.<br /><br />Tempeh is a cultured/fermented soy product. I know it's supposed to be good for you with all those "cultures" in it (that probiotic stuff). To me, it always tasted bitter and of raw beans. Disgusting, really. However, in the skilled hands of the Veganomicon chefs, tempeh is transformed into something so truly delicious I would welcome it at my table just about any time.<br /><br />I think the secret is the one extra step I had never before heard of when preparing tempeh: you have to par-boil it before cooking. That gets rid of that nasty raw bitter taste, and it improves the texture immensely.<br /><br />If you have never been that crazy about tempeh, you've gotta try this fabulous recipe! It just might turn your Tempeh Terror into Tempeh Triumph.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hot-Sauce Glazed Tempeh from the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Veganomicon-Ultimate-Isa-Chandra-Moskowitz/dp/156924264X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283884818&sr=8-1">Veganomicon</a></span><br /></span></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 8 oz. pkg. tempeh (*I used the LightLife 3-Grain variety)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/2 c. wine (whatever you've got on hand, just nothing sweet, Manischewitz lovers!)

(*I find it is easiest to place the marinade ingredients and the tempeh in a large zip-top bag to marinate.)<br />Cut the tempeh in half, widthwise, then cut each of the resulting squares diagonally to form four large triangles. When the water is boiling, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook the tempeh triangles for 10 minutes. This steams the tempeh and removes any bitterness, plus readies the tempeh to absorb the marinade. (*I'm here to tell you. it really does. I boiled mine for 15 minutes just to be sure.)<br />Use tongs to immediately place the tempeh in the marinade bowl. Let marinate for 1 hour, flipping the tempeh every now and again to cover with the marinade.<br /><br />Here's my tempeh, marinating:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLbZ2709ZVI0ErLTZwRo2ctzyQKvvX19KSjJAcYLxes-eyWvL894rkw-ybT-pVtcELNco6XVEk7l-liFi8JW8LXhygQqs_60I0IriTeCsYBDT25OQIvKPidgOoY8g_GJuo1ioufd-rKwQ/s1600/DSC02594.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLbZ2709ZVI0ErLTZwRo2ctzyQKvvX19KSjJAcYLxes-eyWvL894rkw-ybT-pVtcELNco6XVEk7l-liFi8JW8LXhygQqs_60I0IriTeCsYBDT25OQIvKPidgOoY8g_GJuo1ioufd-rKwQ/s400/DSC02594.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930254369841538" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Grilling Instructions:<br />Preheat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. To grease it, brush lightly with olive oil or, if you have a spray bottle of olive oil, that works, too. (Get a spray bottle of olive oil already!)<br />Grill each side of the tempeh for5 minutes. When the second side is almost done, spoon some of the marinade over the tempeh and let it cook for 30 more seconds. (*I am a believer in frequent basting: we brushed our tempeh with marinade right after we put it in the pan, just before turning, and just before removing from the heat.)<br /><br />Serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as a side.<br /><br />Ta-da!! Here is our succulent glazed and grilled tempeh (Todd did the grilling using my cast-iron grill pan):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBLds-MhVzGi_SZTdn4uU735SdNhLOkC7Q0sUB_HBGgoXsfdJqQcLRCoPhiyICFqZVHiGvQkvm-vII0lx11H_nM16A2dvMftdMardFmq-mIHPhS7V8zFfHj0KK87VcIiu2Hyjw4Y7PcuM/s1600/DSC02599.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBLds-MhVzGi_SZTdn4uU735SdNhLOkC7Q0sUB_HBGgoXsfdJqQcLRCoPhiyICFqZVHiGvQkvm-vII0lx11H_nM16A2dvMftdMardFmq-mIHPhS7V8zFfHj0KK87VcIiu2Hyjw4Y7PcuM/s400/DSC02599.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930631363924546" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Pineapple-Cashew-Quinoa Stirfry from the<a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.amazon.com/Veganomicon-Ultimate-Isa-Chandra-Moskowitz/dp/156924264X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283884818&sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Veganomicon</span></a> was a flavorful and delicious sidekick for the tempeh. I admit, I cheated and used canned pineapple tidbits (and juice from same) instead of fresh, but it was still very tasty. I am sure it would have been better with fresh, but it was still pretty awesome.<br /><br />Todd graciously supplied us with fresh basil and mint from his garden, as well as bringing the potables (iced tea and Vernors). If you have some cooked quinoa already on hand, this would go together very quickly. Cooking the quinoa in pineapple juice is a great touch and adds a lot of flavor. I used red quinoa instead of the usual gold kind, because I prefer the flavor of the Inca Red (and besides, it comes pre-rinsed!).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_QItkT2Xc4Zx7rx6-nzoU94H928VADBk3hs7qB6Y1_x8FVEPAFVMcIjsN5fqbL4hk6K52HRjKhCk4Hc6221VgY2itc3DT4n-TT-iH-6TcCHnxUbByGsf8gT1vjUEmusdZl7RIquDiQE/s1600/DSC02592.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_QItkT2Xc4Zx7rx6-nzoU94H928VADBk3hs7qB6Y1_x8FVEPAFVMcIjsN5fqbL4hk6K52HRjKhCk4Hc6221VgY2itc3DT4n-TT-iH-6TcCHnxUbByGsf8gT1vjUEmusdZl7RIquDiQE/s400/DSC02592.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930252019887154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeit8MlLwu5sYnf7-bJVbuLZeQDD2Yo8iltswVy6PysQ2KeRkcBjy8Vr7WT9Enen-VcCb68HTBw-kCkqn1Aw36pjk2N1PgfZDafQq5NpxhZjRfYjC2xwAeLer3gFjV6If-Iy2yjFbKI9w/s1600/DSC02596.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeit8MlLwu5sYnf7-bJVbuLZeQDD2Yo8iltswVy6PysQ2KeRkcBjy8Vr7WT9Enen-VcCb68HTBw-kCkqn1Aw36pjk2N1PgfZDafQq5NpxhZjRfYjC2xwAeLer3gFjV6If-Iy2yjFbKI9w/s400/DSC02596.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930265961934130" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pineapple-Cashew-Quinoa Stir-Fry from the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Veganomicon-Ultimate-Isa-Chandra-Moskowitz/dp/156924264X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283884818&sr=8-1">Vegan</a></span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Veganomicon-Ultimate-Isa-Chandra-Moskowitz/dp/156924264X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283884818&sr=8-1">omicon</a><br /></span></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuN6k6AkTQsinWSUZxM-c6Jol8Eoz635JWjoF4-peQywot9MscrD8zNSwBE5tTwNZhaDdcMQvM89qvxFGAZ6CA0640QaM3Zl7s90qjbwc5g8uk0MDSxV82ro00HuufZLh7XVIm7abuEE0/s1600/DSC02598.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuN6k6AkTQsinWSUZxM-c6Jol8Eoz635JWjoF4-peQywot9MscrD8zNSwBE5tTwNZhaDdcMQvM89qvxFGAZ6CA0640QaM3Zl7s90qjbwc5g8uk0MDSxV82ro00HuufZLh7XVIm7abuEE0/s400/DSC02598.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514244517620506258" border="0" /></a></div><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Quinoa:</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 c. quinoa, well rinsed and drained</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />1 c. pineapple juice</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />1 c. cold water</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />1/4 t. soy sauce</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />Stir-fry:</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />4 oz. cashews, raw and unsalted</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />3 T peanut oil (*I didn't have any, so I just used canola oil)</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />2 scallions, sliced thinly</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />2 cloves garlic, minced (*I used 4)</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />1 hot red chile, sliced into very thin rounds</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />1/2 in. piece ginger, peeled and minced (*I used a 1" piece)</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />1 c. frozen green peas or cooked edamame (*I used a box of frozen peas, thawed)</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />1/2 c. fresh basil leaves, rolled and sliced into thin shreds (just like slicing collard greens)</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />2 T fresh mint</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />10 oz. fresh pineapple, cut into bite-size chunks, about 2 c.

Cover, place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Stir a few times, lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 12-14 minutes, until all the liquid has absorbed and the quinoa appears plumped and slightly translucent. Uncover, fluff, and let cool.<br />For best results, place the quinoa in an airtight container and refrigerate overnight. If you're in a hurry, chill the cooked quinoa for at least an hour. When ready to use, break up any chunks of the cold quinoa with a fork.<br /><br />(*NOTE: I didn't bother chilling the quinoa, and the finished product turned out fine.)<br /><br />Prepare the Stirfry:<br />Use the largest non-stick pan you have (at least 11 in. oin diameter) or a wok. Have all of your ingredients chopped and easily within reach. Place the cashews in the dry pan and heat over low heat, stirring them, until lightly toasted, 4-5 minutes.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrxUP8aOh01TF2yQvQ91GTGkLXT98bLt0R5NkgQ3PHH5C7bBSAM1ZfFCWWMdSILh9ftpgAU_dIPmlPHX2z9FQ43uz3Qliyi4VY8NgFLW10VWOTeIzpMZuQ_sVZ8tueTJhhn_UGFahPZnk/s1600/DSC02595.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrxUP8aOh01TF2yQvQ91GTGkLXT98bLt0R5NkgQ3PHH5C7bBSAM1ZfFCWWMdSILh9ftpgAU_dIPmlPHX2z9FQ43uz3Qliyi4VY8NgFLW10VWOTeIzpMZuQ_sVZ8tueTJhhn_UGFahPZnk/s400/DSC02595.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930263957618146" border="0" /></a><br />Remove the cashews from the pan, raise the heat to medium, and and add the peanut oil, scallions, and garlic. When the garlic starts to sizzle, add the sliced chile pepper and ginger. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then add the bell pepper and peas. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the pepper is softened and the peas are bright green. Add the basil and mint, and stir for another minute before adding the pineapple and quinoa.<br />In a measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, vegetable stock, and mirin. Pour over the quinoa mixture. Stir to incorporate completely and coat the quinoa. Continue to stir-fry for 10-14 minutes, until the quinoa is very hot (it helps to use two spoons/spatulas to scoop the quinoa around).<br />Serve with lime wedges and additional soy sauce, to season individual servings to taste.<br />Serves 4.<br /><br />Here is the finished stir-fry in the skillet.

I was really happy that (besides fresh pineapple), the only things I didn't already have on hand were the scallions, peas, and fresh herbs, the latter which Todd had growing in his garden.<br /><br />To maximize the flavor and prevent overcooking, I added the basil, mint, and peas just before serving. Ditto the cashews, which were never mentioned again after the roasting instructions, but which I assume were supposed to be added to the finished dish. The crunch of the cashews and the tangy bite of the lime juice really added a nice touch to the finished dish.<br /><br />Todd's plate:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiweuZpaD2V5usC36pbrUpeSFohTl-9jqOQgRfPvJXC70rKcMlTbDEk6pKjaKA_rPYrsfcjjpMHVnhNtGhYFYuObUIhOad9bmdmOWLe5Sl13Qj4C29RX-DT_wtvyOMtKw5WUVyvDY5hzpY/s1600/DSC02600.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiweuZpaD2V5usC36pbrUpeSFohTl-9jqOQgRfPvJXC70rKcMlTbDEk6pKjaKA_rPYrsfcjjpMHVnhNtGhYFYuObUIhOad9bmdmOWLe5Sl13Qj4C29RX-DT_wtvyOMtKw5WUVyvDY5hzpY/s400/DSC02600.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930641418995778" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Dinner conversation:<br />ME: Well, Todd, now that you have tried Hot-Sauce Glazed Grilled Tempeh, how you feel about tempeh?<br />TODD:<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghU2XJpiXM8oC4lAXDuDlKb4-oLR0FgYB9lRBgqMEB72g_HRddtVWyhAeKzKXCQ9IUVhg75cnUxhbCAh2p5XS_k4OsqoQQ1kQI2vGFUiVGxJHH0mqP56MtCBrqPltJ9y7U8vcD45iMi_0/s1600/DSC02602.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghU2XJpiXM8oC4lAXDuDlKb4-oLR0FgYB9lRBgqMEB72g_HRddtVWyhAeKzKXCQ9IUVhg75cnUxhbCAh2p5XS_k4OsqoQQ1kQI2vGFUiVGxJHH0mqP56MtCBrqPltJ9y7U8vcD45iMi_0/s400/DSC02602.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930654410857906" border="0" /></a><br />(You can see my tiny rat-hole of a kitchen behind Todd-- we don't even have enough storage space for the food wraps, so they're all in a heap on top of the fridge)<br /><br /><br />This meal was satisfying but not too heavy-- all the better to enjoy our crepe-making (and devouring) experience after dinner!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sorta Dairy-Free Crepes by DomesticMuse</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />(based on a Sara Moulton recipe)</span><br /></span></div>Makes 8-10 small dessert crepes<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/2 c. + 2 T vanilla almond milk</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 eggs</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 1/2 T melted butter</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 T sugar</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/2 c. all-purpose flour</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">pinch of salt</span><br /><br />1.

I've been doing this for about a year now. Is it worth it?? ABSOLUTELY. After suffering for 20 years from sinus disease, I am pain-free and nearly symptom-free. It has been almost 14 months since my last sinus infection! This is a miracle, since I used to get them 4-5 times a year.<br /><br />My quest for delicious dairy-free food has not been easy. One great place to find dairy-free recipes is the many vegan cookbooks you can find at your friendly neighborhood or online bookstore. Depending on how adventuresome you are feeling, you can definitely find some great, quick, tasty, and inexpensive dairy-free recipes. Of course, being vegan, they also tend to be meat- and egg-free as well. Since DS loves vegetarian food and will happily eat it, that's not an issue for us.<br /><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Veganomicon</span> is responsible for luring me back into the kitchen recently. I really do love this cookbook. It's very accessible, even for non-vegans. The writing style is sassy and fun, a big plus in my book. It's been so nice to feel excited about cooking again! Since I purchased this tome a year ago, we've tried several recipes from it. Some were great, some, not so much. But it is packed with creative and interesting recipes for everything from "Greek Tofu Benedict" to "Green Tea 'Ice Cream' Sammiches." I picked it up the other day looking for a dairy-free recipe for crepes, and DS spied some things he wanted me to try.

When Brussels are not drearily boiled to death, they can be very yummy, with a sweet and nutty flavor. Although for most people, seitan (sometimes called "wheat meat") is love at first bite, I have been a slow convert. The Veganomicon's recipe for homemade seitan is really what convinced me that seitan can actually be enjoyable (see recipe below). The dish below brings out the best in all the ingredients, creating some very delicious vegan magic!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbCqaG9B4m9pOUggLMcurTrH8NV8Vs4NzLaRGngamqVMLcq0Y2M7YO6dTf_iU8Yw41O-eZtT2LI4CxcFZ2vyqnkjRJbixxN0zXoVxiMCEL2az19YILG4Vdn8tpYK9bOshccKUYkALdsVs/s1600/DSC02584.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbCqaG9B4m9pOUggLMcurTrH8NV8Vs4NzLaRGngamqVMLcq0Y2M7YO6dTf_iU8Yw41O-eZtT2LI4CxcFZ2vyqnkjRJbixxN0zXoVxiMCEL2az19YILG4Vdn8tpYK9bOshccKUYkALdsVs/s400/DSC02584.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513915465377604914" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8nkdUjlSDLzhODCC4dSZtlox7-nePRG95CZGSPTuoXpwckz7gFLcmBpdxUbHMTIbc2SBlxSj_skv035z9zNriEbgQxFRFOnsBzyil3eZfmJRhgAYYfuBLOaJQLOpfZ0W4neukqIXg5HY/s1600/DSC02583.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8nkdUjlSDLzhODCC4dSZtlox7-nePRG95CZGSPTuoXpwckz7gFLcmBpdxUbHMTIbc2SBlxSj_skv035z9zNriEbgQxFRFOnsBzyil3eZfmJRhgAYYfuBLOaJQLOpfZ0W4neukqIXg5HY/s400/DSC02583.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513915454271429986" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMOiZC-i_Tk6fIqVrVezpgNBnZykK8DhMtt76jIN9k5p9GWr1BFaaaiH0NZWo5cnktRLyfxXebMAgZm-HoMKpWq6qk6Lceg6E6G-iWUpfNShzfXZF5u1zxrjRzJWudK6NCQ8GZtIHuvA8/s1600/DSC02590.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMOiZC-i_Tk6fIqVrVezpgNBnZykK8DhMtt76jIN9k5p9GWr1BFaaaiH0NZWo5cnktRLyfxXebMAgZm-HoMKpWq6qk6Lceg6E6G-iWUpfNShzfXZF5u1zxrjRzJWudK6NCQ8GZtIHuvA8/s400/DSC02590.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513915856739318786" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Braised Seitan with Brussels, Kale, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >from the <span style="font-style: italic;">Veganomicon</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 T olive oil</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">6 shallots</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 c. seitan, sliced on the diagonal into bite-sized pieces</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/2 lb.

Mix in the sundried tomatoes.<br /><br />Add the vegetable broth and wine. Once this liquid is boiling, which should be pretty quick if the heat is right, add the chopped kale. Stir the kale until it is wilted. Cover the pan, leaving a little room for steam to escape, and lower the heat. Simmer for 5-7 more minutes.

We served it over whole wheat penne. It really was very quick to prepare. Slicing up the seitan was the most time-consuming task. I added extra garlic and spices as noted above, and also substituted frozen chopped greens for the fresh kale. This saved a LOT of time and it was quite tasty as well. I was delighted because I had half a bag full of fresh Brussels sitting in the fridge (they were on sale) and wasn't quite sure what to do with them: this dish was a GREAT way to use them up! The only "luxury" ingredient was the sundried tomatoes, so this dish is also pretty inexpensive to prepare, particularly if you already have some sundried tomatoes in your pantry!<br /><br />Somehow, all these flavors are magic together-- it does NOT taste like a giant pot of cabbage (which was my own personal fear about making this!). The brussels sprouts were pleasantly nutty and a bit crunchy, the seitan, chewy and savory, and the sundried tomatoes added the perfect bright, sprightly note to a dish intended to be, as the authors state, a "Fork You" to winter.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpVFFmi-sDVmeiSLAPHrvbflZjUiz3bAzQBAp7uic4aONij8-sfaa7xp9lT0YMY14NXEx-044HJQ6LtG-bNFbP3kycVAEhBDqs-ccQ9avcSa-2ZxI-g30JffNjZUg1ldqcFrmngoncVuw/s1600/DSC02588.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpVFFmi-sDVmeiSLAPHrvbflZjUiz3bAzQBAp7uic4aONij8-sfaa7xp9lT0YMY14NXEx-044HJQ6LtG-bNFbP3kycVAEhBDqs-ccQ9avcSa-2ZxI-g30JffNjZUg1ldqcFrmngoncVuw/s400/DSC02588.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513915847097407362" border="0" /></a><br /><br />DS and I found this dish to be exceptionally tasty, and we will most certainly make it again.<br /><br />DS's plate, before:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBaEIp9TXy4bI-mnXoQyPApX2hokSySiaMz6XOqJgbhJM24EgknZc6kVBjRGD8Wobr4YZsCnCndfZEYhadkxhc1bodVTXqmzogIeBevMKQvW4LXKsF54ZimoYfwdIhbRCE_E6jex2OdOM/s1600/DSC02589.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBaEIp9TXy4bI-mnXoQyPApX2hokSySiaMz6XOqJgbhJM24EgknZc6kVBjRGD8Wobr4YZsCnCndfZEYhadkxhc1bodVTXqmzogIeBevMKQvW4LXKsF54ZimoYfwdIhbRCE_E6jex2OdOM/s400/DSC02589.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513915849891369346" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And after:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtjpjXuqybZEH2mAzLmhtNuXOyEhy44TUUCDchHuyOZ5QysjgZDHHkDdJ_jWqWuY4Leam2qQ6G0tZz9cIt3hTA5ck2Hl9SXkgFd5jPfhBnQns3yGt-oypq5egirr8b2pYXMQvvHWD-2Ak/s1600/DSC02591.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtjpjXuqybZEH2mAzLmhtNuXOyEhy44TUUCDchHuyOZ5QysjgZDHHkDdJ_jWqWuY4Leam2qQ6G0tZz9cIt3hTA5ck2Hl9SXkgFd5jPfhBnQns3yGt-oypq5egirr8b2pYXMQvvHWD-2Ak/s400/DSC02591.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513915853407839538" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Oops, almost forgot! Here is the <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Veganomicon's </span>recipe for homemade seitan.<br /><br />How can you not love a cookbook where the intro to the recipe reads like so:<br />"This is the <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Vegan With A Vengeance</span> seitan recipe simplified. After publishing that book, we got a lot of questions, often asking if one could substitute this, leave out that-- sometimes just asking how we got to be so beautiful. While we won't reveal our beauty secrets, we will present you with this bare-bones boiled seitan recipe with clearer directions, simpler ingredients, and just the right amount of seitan for most recipes in this book."<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Simple Seitan</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 c. vital wheat gluten</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">3 T nutritional yeast (NOT Brewer's yeast)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/2 c. cold vegetable broth</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/4 c. soy sauce (I had run out, so I used Worcestershire sauce)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 T olive oil</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated on a microplane grater</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Broth:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">8 c. cold water plus 3 vegetable bouillon cubes, or 4 c. broth plus 4 c. water</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/4 c. soy sauce (again, I used Worcestershire)</span><br /><br />Mix together the gluten flour and yeast in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix together the veggie broth, olive oil, soy sauce and garlic. Pour the wet into the dry and stir with a wooden spoon until most of the moisture has been absorbed and the wet ingredients are partially clumped up with the dry ingredients. Use your hands to knead the mixture for about 3 minutes, until the dough is elastic. Divide with a knife into three equal pieces and then knead those pieces in your hand just to stretch them a bit.<br /><br />Prepare the broth:<br />Fill a stockpot with the water, bouillon cubes and soy sauce, and add the wheat gluten pieces. Cover and bring to a boil but watch carefully; you don't want it to boil for very long or the outside of the seitan will be spongy. Try to catch it as soon as it boils and then lower the heat as low as it will go so that it's at a low simmer.<br />Partially cover the pot so steam can escape and let simmer for an hour, turning the seitan occasionally. Turn off the heat and take the lid off; let sit for 15 minutes.<br />Remove from the broth and place in a strainer until it is cool enough to handle. It is now ready to be sliced up and used. If you have extra seitan, store in the cooking liquid in a tightly covered container.<br /><br />As I said, this is the recipe that won me over to seitan. I had no idea you could make it so easily at home. My previous experience was with the expensive pre-packaged seitan from the health food store, which I always found to be salty, squidgy, and icky. This stuff is really easy to make. But PLEASE don't make the same mistake I did when I tried making it the first time: instead of kneading by hand, I used my stand mixer. The resulting product had the approximate texture of an old rubber boot. So, be sure to knead by hand! Also, DS and I actually enjoyed the flavor of the seitan prepared with Worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce. You might want to give that a try.<br /><br />!Buen provecho!<br /><br />Yours in Domestic Bliss,<br />KarenKaren Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-50942262015067468272010-07-22T17:30:00.000-07:002010-07-22T18:18:48.977-07:00By Special Request: Caramel Walnut LeTarte<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhThGg8PYW67_zKRU6CG57cEkE8oFU7utyl2uj4q_142DvAtoOXWi9A76T0DYDxPxg0FO-Pq3zq4cJrUUpoRLEb4y0zkZ4UgeoQOJj5fUUMyyMZn2g1vtXTrU0YTzwqSuoBjkrdcyeobBg/s1600/Caramel+Walnut+Tart.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhThGg8PYW67_zKRU6CG57cEkE8oFU7utyl2uj4q_142DvAtoOXWi9A76T0DYDxPxg0FO-Pq3zq4cJrUUpoRLEb4y0zkZ4UgeoQOJj5fUUMyyMZn2g1vtXTrU0YTzwqSuoBjkrdcyeobBg/s400/Caramel+Walnut+Tart.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496898321210021218" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(<a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/photo/Caramel-Walnut-Tart-with-Chocolate-Glaze-107336">Photo</a> by Mark Thomas.)</span><br /><br />I mentioned to my FB friends that I was making a cherry tart for the 4th of July, to which one replied, "No, a Cherry LeTarte!"

Frugal Muse!I've just started my own independent consulting business, and not to put too fine a point on it, things are rather tight without a regular income to depend on.<br /><br />But even before this, I knew Something Had To Be Done about our grocery bill. I'm embarrassed to admit I was spending about $200 per week on groceries for our household of 3. (Well, I think pet food was lumped in there too, accounting for probably $80 per month.)<br /><br />I've been taking a financial planning/education course. It was a real eye-opener to learn that I should have been spending only $100 per person per month, meaning a total of $300 per <span style="font-weight: bold;">MONTH</span> on our food. Yikes!!<br /><br />Being a librarian, to figure out what to do about this problem I did what came naturally-- research. Which led me to Stephanie Nelson's extremely helpful book, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Coupon-Guide-Cutting-Grocery-Bills/dp/1583333681/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268244867&sr=1-1">The Coupon Mom's Guide To Cutting Your Grocery Bills in Half</a>.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE0w3dyMMA0A6x0KPH_xFD8RPhj-lJTewyoWi1jjUl8EIdymoA1z0v-UHNuqMk4okgvZBdQK-pfdFsyClMvdKRby5La_gJZE6DZy6WHi3MMBxpJVDumYgmMgo49H9Z0AdzuMEd5SQF7UI/s1600-h/515okp86WeL._SL500_AA240_.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE0w3dyMMA0A6x0KPH_xFD8RPhj-lJTewyoWi1jjUl8EIdymoA1z0v-UHNuqMk4okgvZBdQK-pfdFsyClMvdKRby5La_gJZE6DZy6WHi3MMBxpJVDumYgmMgo49H9Z0AdzuMEd5SQF7UI/s400/515okp86WeL._SL500_AA240_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447096312802159490" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I was extremely skeptical about whether any of this would work for me, because I don't tend to purchase a lot of processed foodsl,for which coupons are available, and of course I've been committed to serving the family only organically produced meats, poultry, and dairy products.<br /><br />I was amazed to find that putting Coupon Mom's strategic shopping tips into practice, I have been saving closer to 70% on groceries. (I will admit I have suspended my trips to Whole Foods for the time being.)<br /><br />Nelson's tips basically boil down to two main ideas:<br />1. Only purchase items that are on sale and have a corresponding coupon (as much as possible)<br />and<br />2. Stockpile items when they are at rock-bottom prices, which allows you to "shop your freezer and pantry" so you can always prepare meals from ingredients purchased at a discount.<br /><br />Yes, it seems so simple and obvious, you'd think I'd have figured it out a long time ago.<br /><br />To make this process easier, Coupon Mom has a terrific website (<a href="http://www.couponmom.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">CouponMom.com</span></a>) that correlates weekly store specials with any available coupons. Each week, she makes available a list of Grocery Deals by state, so you just find your state, hit enter, and choose your store. Each store list not only gives the coupon info, she also lists the % you save by using the coupon as well.<br /><br />When I first started using the site a couple of months ago, I just made a rule to stick to items on the list that showed savings of at least 50%. Although I had never tried "couponing" before, I bit the bullet and purchased a subscription to the Sunday newspaper so I could get the coupon circulars. Since I didn't have a stockpile of coupons to draw on, each week I purchase extra copies of the Sunday paper to get additional coupon fliers.<br /><br />For those who can't abide the idea of using coupons, Nelson sagely advises that you can save about 30% just by sticking to store specials. Purchasing only items on sale each week can yield a surprising amount of savings! Not being inclined to fussiness, this is the method DC primarily uses with good results.<br /><br />As I said, I've been able to save closer to 70% on my grocery bills over the past few months. So far, I have been able to stick to the $200/month budget for DS and me.<br /><br />Yesterday I shopped at the Teeter and also at Lowes Foods, which was having some really good deals. For example, Lowes had the 50 oz. size of "All" brand liquid laundry detergent on sale. Normally, it costs $5.69, but the sale price was $2.99. AND I had a coupon for $2 off "All" from the Feb. 7 RedPlum coupon circular. After the store sale and coupon, I paid just $0.99 for the "All", a savings of 82%!<br /><br />Here's the breakdown from Lowe's. I purchased 22 items.<br />Original price: $63.46<br />Store sales: $26.53<br />Coupons: $21.05<br />FINAL PRICE: <span style="font-weight: bold;">$15.88</span><br />$ saved: <span style="font-weight: bold;">$47.58</span><br />% saved: <span style="font-weight: bold;">75%</span><br /><br />Of course, Nelson gives lots more tips on cutting down the food bill (other posts, perhaps?), but I've been very pleased with my success so far.<br /><br />Another thing I really like about Nelson's website (<a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.couponmom.com/">CouponMom.com</a>) is that she also promotes her program "Cut Out Hunger" by identifying low/no cost items that can be donated to your local food bank (or family and friends who could use a hand!). In fact, the deal on the All detergent was so good I ended up purchasing 2 bottles and giving both to a friend. I wasn't going to bother at first, since I couldn't find the "HE" version of the "All," which I need for my front-loading washer. But then I realized it was such a great deal, I surely knew someone who could use it.<br /><br />I've realized that while using coupons doesn't help much on organic food costs (with some exceptions), it helps save so much on the other items I need to buy that there may soon be room in my budget for organic meats again. I used to spend so much money on snack items, sliced meats, cheese, peanut butter, etc. for DS's school lunches that it was quite depressing. Thank heavens, using the strategic shopping tips I've learned, I've been able to get the items he enjoys at greatly reduced costs or even free.<br /><br />Low-priced is nice, but FREE is GREAT!!Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-71560448181427907322010-02-12T04:55:00.000-08:002010-02-12T07:10:14.576-08:00DomesticMuse is BACK!!!Hi, Everyone--<br /><br /> I know it has been a REALLY long time, but I'm back to doing one of the things I love most in the world: blogging! It's been a long hiatus due to many factors.... most of them not fun. But I won't bore you with the details.<br /><br />Let me just say that as of Feb. 1, my whole life has changed. I've moved.... AGAIN. Career changes are also afoot. DS and I are still unpacking.<br /><br />One of the big reasons I haven't been blogging is that I still need to send several of you your prizes for my birthday give-away. I've really felt like I just couldn't do any new posts until I had taken care of that, but it's going to be a while still on that, for which I am sincerely sorry. Thank you all for being so patient and kind. Everything is ready, but let's just say the last several months have been very tough. As soon as I can, I will mail out everyone's stuff.<br /><br />As the economic downturn has really started hitting our communities hard, most of us personally know at least one person or family who is currently without a steady income. You want to help, but you don't know what you can do. Let me share some ideas below!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tips for Helping Friends and Family Going Through Income/Job Loss/Family Transition</span><br /><br />1. Always remember, little things mean a lot!<br />2. Be that positive voice that says, "I believe in you!" and "Things will get better!" and MEAN IT.<br />3. Listen and be there. Bring tissues.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PRACTICAL THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP:</span><br /><br />1. Help with moving, if people are downsizing. There are many ways to help that won't break your budget!<br /><ul><li>Call professional moving companies in the area and ask if you can pick up FREE used boxes and partial rolls of packing paper for your friends/loved ones. Many companies are happy to do this. I've had especially good luck with Mayflower. Wardrobe cartons and dish packs are particularly useful. Grocery stores and other retailers will often give you free boxes as well-- just be sure they are clean and pest-free. Picking up boxes and packing material for your friends will greatly reduce the stress and heartache of moving.</li><li>Help pack, and bring packing tape, a tape gun, and sharpie markers for labeling boxes.<br /></li><li>Offer to organize a garage sale to turn those things your friends no longer need into much needed cash.</li><li>Or offer to list items on Craig's List for them and then YOU be the one to coordinate with potential buyers.</li><li>Another wonderful thing to remember if your friends have china, crystal or serving ware they no longer need is that <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.replacements.com/">Replacements.Com</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>will often pay top dollar for these items! I made $300 selling my wedding crystal to Replacements after my divorce! Just give them a call to see if they are buying: You need to know the manufacturer and name of the pattern. Phone number is 800-727-5223. Replacements will let you know on the phone if they are purchasing those patterns and will email you a written offer to purchase that specifies exactly which pieces they are buying and the price for each. You just fill out the offer form, CAREFULLY box up the goods, and mail the stuff to them. They will send your friend a check. Luckily, I live within driving distance so it's easy for me zip over to Greensboro with stuff.</li><li>Take unneeded clothing to consignment shops to turn these items into cash also.<br /></li><li>On moving day, be there to help with last minute packing. Load, haul, babysit, or do whatever else you can do to make things easier for your friends. In my recent move, I do not know WHAT I would have done without my BFF Todd's help. He took over just like it was HIS move. I am so lucky to have a wonderful friend like Todd!</li><li>If your friend is having professional movers, provide bottled water and lunch for them. If you can afford it, pay the tip for the movers.<br /></li><li>If you are handy, help to disconnect and reconnect washers and dryers, install ceiling fans and lights, reconnect TVs and DVD players, install faucet filters, hang pictures, paint, etc.<br /></li><li>Don't forget, the kitchen is probably closed for the days just before and after moving, so either bring some covered dishes, some easy to heat frozen meals (along with disposable plates, cups and utensils), order pizza, or take your friends out to get something to eat (doesn't have to be fancy!). They are probably exhausted and haven't eaten all day, and in the moving frenzy, food is likely the last thing on their mind.<br /></li></ul>2. If you have small appliances in good working order that you have been thinking of replacing, <span style="font-weight: bold;">give them</span> to your friends and buy yourself some new ones. E.g., computer printers, microwaves, blenders, toasters, vacuum cleaners, etc. can all be very helpful to those who can't afford to purchase new at the moment. You can often find great deals on new stuff, and your friends won't feel guilty about accepting your gently used items.<br /><br />3. Scour the Sunday newspaper coupons and use them to purchase household supplies such as paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, food wraps, light bulbs, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, cleaning supplies, etc. at a bargain--- and stock up your friends so they won't have to buy this stuff for a while.<br /><br />4. Ditto on expensive personal care items such as soap/bodywash, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, toothbrushes, etc. For example, this week at the Kroger in my area, Softsoap brand liquid hand soap is on sale for <span style="font-weight: bold;">$0.88 a bottle</span>. I used coupons for Softsoap from the Jan. 31 Supersaver insert in my Sunday paper to get each bottle for only<span style="font-weight: bold;"> 18 cents!!</span> (E.g., each coupon was worth 35 cents, which my Kroger automatically doubled, making it worth 70 cents. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sale price of 88 cents minus coupon of 70 cents = final price of 18 cents!!</span>) Again at Kroger, Sure Men's Deodorant is on sale for $1.99. With my $1.50 coupon from the Jan. 24 Supersaver, that brought the price down to just <span style="font-weight: bold;">49 cents!</span><br /><br />5. Purchase movie passes or gift certificates to restaurants or merchants like Walmart, Target, and office supply stores and give them to your friends. Just knowing they will still be able to go see a movie or have a date night at a restaurant once in a while can give spirits a much needed lift. And Walmart and Target cards are so handy for those unexpected necessities like ... trash cans, printer paper, or shower curtains that crop up.<br /><br />6. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Restaurants.com</span> is a great place to get restaurant gift certificates for just pennies on the dollar! E.g., I just got an email message this morning about a Valentine's special at Restaurants.Com. They are offering <span style="font-weight: bold;">$25 restaurant gift certificates for $2</span> using a discount code at checkout.<br /><br />7. When I had to downsize from a 2500 sq. foot house to a 1200 sq foot townhouse during my divorce, my sister was an absolute lifesaver. She helped me to get financing for desperately needed furniture for our new home (our grad-student futon had finally bit the dust). When I realized I would need a vehicle (for 18 years we had been a 1 car family), she helped me to get a car loan, too. I was able to make the payments on the items, but with no credit history, couldn't get loans without a co-signer. (Yes, I could write a whole book on Seriously Bad Money Mistakes I Have Made In My Life, but I digress). My sister's help allowed me to get back on my feet and, most importantly, have a reliable vehicle to get to work in! While you may not be in a position to take on credit risk for a friend or relative, you can help them shop and bargain for a reliable used car they can afford, find an affordable new apartment, or serve as a credit reference for them with dealerships, merchants, or utility companies. Offer to take that potential new vehicle to your mechanic to be checked out.<br /><br />8. If they are comfortable having you assist with untangling finances, have your friend authorize you and then run interference for them with creditors such as SallieMae (the student loan sharks) and credit card companies. With persistence, (e.g., keep asking to talk to supervisors until you get someone with authority to make decisions) you can often get creditors to work with you to lower payments and interest rates, or to close accounts and freeze interest on balances at 6% or lower. SallieMae will generally give un/underemployment deferments on student loans, though you may have to contact them several times for the necessary paperwork. This will not only help to stretch your friend's budget, it will give them greater peace of mind and free up time to attack the job search. Do <span style="font-weight: bold;">anything</span> you can to help your friend avoid debt consolidation loans, which can hurt their credit rating and keep them in debt longer. If worse comes to worst, bankruptcy <span style="font-style: italic;">may</span> be a better option as it will allow them to rebuild their credit record faster. Be sure your friend consults a good bankruptcy attorney about their available options before going into debt consolidation.<br /><br />9. I cannot say enough good things about John Commuta's <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mydebtfreeplan.com/?linkid=200506&gclid=CMHn7aiC7Z8CFUde2godnw5XYg&sid=transforming%20debt%20-%20Phrase">Transforming Debt into Wealth</a> program. His system really does work, and you can purchase his online course for about $40-- a very worthwhile investment. <br /><br />10. If you have good word processing, website and/or marketing skills, help your friend re-work his/her resume and/or create a "Professional Identity" website.<br /><br />Well, these are just a few things you can do to help your friends and family that are going through tough times.<br /><br />I plan to do my next post on Budget-Stretching Resources.<br /><br />As always, thanks for supporting DomesticMuse! Your interest and friendship mean the world to me!<br /><br />Yours in domestic bliss,<br />KarenKaren Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-28422995274952012812009-10-29T20:17:00.000-07:002009-10-29T21:13:20.322-07:00Uff-Da!!!I realized today with frustration and sadness that it's been TWO MONTHS since my last post. I am exhausted -- I have been on the road non-stop since Sept. I'm presenting at a conference next week and I think that will be my last trip for a bit. In the meantime, I'm feeling overwhelmed and depressed. You know that feeling, where you just have SOOOOOO much to do, but you're so exhausted, you can't even expend the emotional energy to be stressed out about it all?<br /><br />I'm trying to finish a giant report and also whip my presentation (which I'm doing with 2 other people, one of whom will be conferenced-in virtually) into shape by the end of the day Tuesday. This is because on Wed. I'm leaving for the conference, which is being held in Charleston, and DC is coming with me!!!! The conference is held in a beautiful historic hotel in downtown Charleston. Our first get-away for just the two of us! I'm looking forward to it even though I'll be working during the days.<br /><br />I'm not attending any preconference workshops, so we'll have part of Wed. to do fun stuff (IF I finish all my urgent crap in time). Thursday and Friday I'll be in sessions all day, but in the evenings we plan to sample Charleston's fine cuisine-- and I am going to enjoy it without worrying too much about the no-dairy, no-sugar thing. DC is excited about visiting Charleston and we're hoping to do a "haunted Charleston" kind of tour one evening.<br /><br />Is this not the cruelest thing ever? Our presentation has been scheduled for the very last concurrent session, FRIDAY AFTERNOON from 4:30-5:15 p.m. And this truly is the conference that fights back-- we even have sessions during breakfast and lunch-- so by the time Friday afternoon rolls around, I don't know if anyone will even have the energy to attend, since they will already have attended 500 other presentations by that time. Plus, we aren't speaking at the main venue, but at the "overflow" hotel across the street. We will have a dress rehearsal on Thursday, and be praying to the AV gods that all the technology works so that we can hear our friend Nancy and see her slides and she can hear us and see our slides. OTOH, if we have AV problems and no one shows up, end of problem!<br /><br />The other kind of weird thing is that my son AND HIS DAD are going to take care of our 2 cats and 1 enormous dog while we're in Charleston from Wed-Sat. Yes, my ex-husband will be staying in my house. And since we haven't been able to set up the guest room yet, guess where he'll be bunking? That's right, in the master bedroom. I always take care of his cats (they were OUR cats) when he's out of town so he's just returning the favor, but it's weird nonetheless. Honestly, I was surprised that DC didn't have a giant freakout about it. But when you compare FREE to the cost of boarding the dog for 4 days, it just seemed silly not to take him up on the offer. Especially since we needed someone to come to our house to feed the cats anyway.<br /><br />We have a relative who manages a chain of uh, shall we say, adult toy stores. Last time we visited, unbeknownst to us, he tucked a few little goodies into our luggage for us to find when we got home-- luckily, just tasteless stuff like the Last Supper After Dinner Mints<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFu0lFTwe1ebHO2Df3nYpStaHgKPSlQ0PGXPaU0q8dns2V9Q6vadJFyN6028GYJ4WWFZOjDpTWClwKFYtwfki3Z_hQiVvZi-zXXN6R9JR5ZANlm6hgdGR1rFDXdeELDsBmqnJWzUN6ow/s1600-h/MINT-1626.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFu0lFTwe1ebHO2Df3nYpStaHgKPSlQ0PGXPaU0q8dns2V9Q6vadJFyN6028GYJ4WWFZOjDpTWClwKFYtwfki3Z_hQiVvZi-zXXN6R9JR5ZANlm6hgdGR1rFDXdeELDsBmqnJWzUN6ow/s400/MINT-1626.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398236948743973218" border="0" /></a><br />and a Teddy Scares (the zombie teddy bear) keychain. I was relieved we didn't end up with the giant pimp cloak and hat set from the costume section... at any rate, I was thinking it would be amusing to fill the bedroom with all kinds of exotic toys, since our privacy is going to be infringed on anyhoo. DC didn't share my amusement however-- and there isn't time to "stock up" anyway.<br /><br />My house is practically a superfund site, since I've been on the road so much. It's embarrassing. Not the least of which is the giant "Hooverville" of discarded clothes piled up on the floor by DC's side of the bed. (I have no idea why he no longer sees fit to use the laundry hamper.) But I know I'm not going to have time to clean before our, uh, visitor, arrives.<br /><br />Once I recuperate from my Charleston trip, I hope to get back to posting more regularly... maybe I'll even find a way to create no-dairy, no-sugar foods that taste good. I am heartily sick of plain meat and veggies.<br /><br />In the meantime, Happy Halloween/All Saints Day to all!Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-74473898902592207502009-08-30T19:10:00.000-07:002010-04-01T07:08:10.274-07:00DF20: I made it!I made it through the 30-Day DomesticMuse Dairy-Free Challenge, and I'm 3 days into the Dairy-Free and Sugar-Free Challenge.<br /><br />Today was a little rough, I think because I did a pretty tough weights workout and need to be eating a bit more complex carbs than what is included in Cooler Plan 1. This was the "lightest" day so far, as the 2 meals following breakfast consisted of chicken and sliced celery and tuna with lettuce and tomatoes. Following my workout, I went out to buy groceries for the week and really hit the wall for the first time since I started this plan.<br /><br />When I got home, I was really dragging. So I made myself a protein shake with almond milk and a banana. I'm in the process of switching from my usual whey-based protein powder (since it's made from dairy) to hemp-based protein powder, which I've heard works well. Since I had not planned on making protein shakes this week, I'd bought one packet of hemp/split pea powder last week to try, not wanting to invest in a lifetime supply without trying it first.<br /><br />I was pleasantly surprised by the taste, which was actually really good. I'd been thinking I would have to add some cocoa and agave syrup to make it palatable, but it didn't need it. The color was kind of an otherworldly green, but quite tasty. It reminded me of my favorite fresh-juice smoothie that I used to get at the juice stand in Watertower Place in Chicago called Shopper's Energy Drink, which is also green because it contains spirulina.<br /><br />I'm a little worried because after I had finished the shake, I was checking the ingredients list and found it contains stevia, a plant-based sweetener. I've never tried it, but it made my sister break out in hives. So far, so good. No rash.<br /><br />The shake, with its combination of serious carbs from the banana and protein from the protein powder, did the trick. I felt much better afterwards. For some reason, the fruit that is supposed to be included in the plan is not on the menu plan for today or the next few days. Serious workouts require complex carbs, so I'll just have to monitor and see how I'm feeling.Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-39590244066470031442009-08-29T19:38:00.000-07:002009-08-29T20:37:56.366-07:00DF29: Cooler Plan, Day 2Today was a little tougher than yesterday, mainly because I picked up bbq ribs for the guys and had to smell them cooking. I haven't really had sugar cravings, maybe because I had already cut way back on it in the past couple of weeks.<br /><br />I have to admit, since I've started eating small meals every 3 hours or so I really do feel better. My energy level is much, much better. My blood sugar stays pretty stable, no big crashes, shakiness, or that "starving" feeling.<br /><br />But geez Louise, is it ever BORING. It will be nice when I am on a little less stringent plan and can eat more than just plain food by itself. Just to give you an example, here's what I ate today.<br /><br />Pre-breakfast: 2 8 oz. glasses of water.<br /><br />Breakfast: 3/4 c. Quinoa with flaxseed, wheatgerm, and almond milk. 1 whole egg scrambled with 3 egg whites, and a cup of green tea (no sweetener). 2 8 oz. glasses of water.<br /><br />During workout: 4 8 oz. glasses water.<br /><br />Midmorning: sliced cucumbers, radishes, and 2 baby sweet peppers sliced and tossed with 1 t. olive oil, salt and pepper, topped with water packed tuna and a dressing made of fresh lemon juice and tamari. I know I'm not supposed to eat high-sodium foods, but I did work out and perspired ALOT, so I figured a little salt couldn't hurt. 2 8 oz. glasses of water.<br /><br />Strength training: 4 8 oz. glasses water<br /><br />"Lunch" (at 4:45 p.m.!) Roast turkey breast cutlet (4 oz.) on a bed of leftover Lacinato kale and 1/2 sweet potato. 1 apple. 2 8 oz. glasses water.<br /><br />While fixing dinner: 2 8 oz. glasses water.<br /><br />Dinner: (8 p.m.): 4 oz. roasted chicken breast, 1/2 sweet potato, broccoli with a splash of umeboshi plum vinegar. 2 8 oz. glasses water.<br /><br />While cleaning up after dinner: 2 8 oz. glasses water.<br /><br />That water-packed tuna is so dry, I had to put <span style="font-weight: bold;">something </span>on it. Because of not eating breakfast until 10 a.m., I was only able to squeeze in 4 of my 5 planned meals again. Because of this I skipped one of the lighter meals (the midafternoon snack) and had the dinner meal instead.<br /><br />Meal preparation was a snap since I had already cooked several pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast (it was on sale at WF for half-price, so I bought lots) and also roasted the turkey cutlets last night while the corn muffins were in the oven. I noticed I'm supposed to eat quinoa again later in the week so I cooked extra this morning and put the leftovers in the fridge.<br /><br />I've noticed much less muscle soreness than usual when I'm coning back to exercise after a long break, and I think this is because of the extra protein I'm eating. It helps the muscles rebuild themselves more quickly after a tough workout.<br /><br />Of course, with having to drink a gallon of water a day, I'm constantly running to the bathroom. But I know from experience this will get better when my body gets used to the extra fluid intake. I swear, I'm so well-hydrated I could practically sell my output as spring water. (Sorry if that was TMI.) I sweat ALOT during my workouts and get very thirsty, so I am drinking extra then. I'm supposed to be drinking distilled water, but I refuse to pay for drinking water, so I'm just drinking the filtered water from the door of the fridge.<br /><br />One more thing I've noticed is that if something has sugar in it, I can tell instantly. For instance, just from tasting one bite of the salsa I brought home yesterday, I could tell there was sugar in it. Since I'm not eating refined sugars or any sweeteners at all right now, I can really taste and appreciate the sweetness of the fruit and sweet potatoes.<br /><br />Tomorrow I've got to sit down and figure out what I'm going to feed the guys this week. Some of the dinner meals will be easy-- if I'm having ground turkey or ground bison, I can just make extra for them and throw in an extra side-dish or two for them. I'm supposed to have fish tomorrow night, which we all like. For some of the other nights, I'll use leftovers. We have leftover ribs and also some "red" chili I made and froze. The guys aren't suffering by any means. B&J ice cream was on sale 1/2 price at the Teeter,so I got each of them a pint of their favorite flavors: Cherry Garcia for DC, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for DS.<br /><br />If I make it through the week without going off "the plan," I'm treating myself to some no-dairy, no-sugar coconut milk "ice cream" on Thursday.<br /><br />I definitely notice a difference in how I feel-- everything is better, including my depression, and I finally have the energy to work out again, which also helps in so many ways. I'm also encouraged that I WILL lose weight and be back in my regular clothes in no time.Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-21827447765903823912009-08-29T13:12:00.000-07:002009-08-29T14:06:09.734-07:00DF28: Eat Clean Cooler Plan 1As I mentioned, Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet book is pretty hardcore, and even a bit grim. Given that she expects you to pack a cooler full of "clean" food to take to work with you (or even out to run errands), her "diet" plans are organized into Cooler Plans 1, 2, and 3.<br /><br />Cooler Plan 1 is definitely spartan. It's designed for: breaking plateaus, that last 10-5 lbs., contest preparation (as if!), photo shoots (as if!), showing increased muscle definition, and quick weight loss.<br /><br />On this plan, you are not allowed to have dairy, juice, bread, salad dressing, butter, margarine, mayo or other spreads, or high-sodium food.<br /><br />You may have 1 apple or pear per day. That's if for fruit. The main source of "complex carbs" on this plan comes from high-water content, non-starchy, low-glycemic index veggies (cucumbers, radishes, greens, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, celery, bok choy, etc.) You're supposed to eat "2 cupped handfuls" of this stuff 5 times per day, or at each meal. This plan only allows 5 meals per day.<br /><br />For grains, you get 1 serving per day of cooked whole grains (e.g, quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, millet or Cream of Wheat), eaten as hot cereal in the morning (no sweeteners); also, 1 sweet potato per day, half in the morning and half in the evening. The grains are to be eaten with a tablespoon each of ground flaxseed, wheatgerm, and bee pollen. (Bee pollen? Seriously?)<br /><br />For protein, 1 "palm-sized portion" (4-5 oz.) of chicken, tuna, egg whites, turkey, bison, elk, or non-oily white fish, 5 times per day, or at each meal. You can also substitute sugar, chemical-free protein powder for any of the protein servings.<br /><br />To drink, 1 gallon of distilled water, no-sodium water, or clear, unsweetened herbal tea.<br /><br />Sounds boring AND not fun!<br /><br />Cooler Plan 2 is for steady weight loss or maintenance once your goal weight is reached. This plan is much more do-able.<br />You get 6 portions of fruits/veggies per day, a fruit portion being "1 cupped handful" or piece of fruit; recommended fruits are berries, grapefruit, melon, apples, and mangoes. A veggie portion is "2 cupped handfuls" 0f veggies, including broth-based/veggie puree soups. (I'll pass on using my hands to measure soup.)<br /><br />You get 2-4 servings of grains, this time besides cooked whole grains you can also have high-protein sugar-free cereal, whole grain bread or wraps (7 in. size on the wrap). Also included in this group is sweet potato, yam, banana, corn, carrots, or winter squash.<br /><br />5-6 portions of lean protein, including low-fat soy, almond, hemp, rice or lactose-free milk, cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt cheese, plain fat-free, sugar-free yogurt. Also included are raw unsalted nuts, 2 T of all-natural nut butters, the same meats and protein powders as in Cooler 1.<br /><br />For beverages, 2-3 liters of no-sodium water, clear, unsweetened herbal tea, black coffee (in moderation) and green or black tea.<br /><br />The following sweeteners can be used in moderation: honey, agave nectar, stevia, sucanat, rapidura sugar.<br /><br />Healthy fats are allowed in moderation: olive, pumpkin, safflower, and flaxseed oil; olive-oil based spreads, fish and fish oils.<br /><br />Not allowed: Juice, commercial salad dressings or sauces, or fried, refined or processed foods.<br /><br />Cooler 3 is supposed to ease you into the Clean-Eating lifestyle, but she's not very specific about what you can eat, though she does allow low-fat cheese and fruit juice diluted with water.<br /><br />There are guidelines for vegetarian substitutes for the protein portions, but I didn't find them very helpful, especially as I am aiming to get at least 20 g. of protein at each "meal."<br /><br />After looking carefully at Cooler Plans 1 and 2, I decided to go for the all-out sugar detox of Cooler Plan 1. Thankfully, she doesn't allow you to use it for more than 2 weeks at a time. I figure I can probably make it through 1 week of dietary hell. I want to see if cutting out all this stuff does make a difference in how I feel.<br /><br />Helpfully, she includes a menu plan for the cooler plans. I am pretty much following the menu plan as written, with a few modifications. One of the things this plan is severely lacking in, in my opinion, is healthy fat. My particular body needs at least SOME fat daily (in addition to what's in the food). I am therefore eating 1-3 t. of olive oil per day with my food. I am also putting unsweetened almond milk on my cooked cereal, as I am concerned about not getting enough calcium. At only 40 cals. per cup, I don't think the almond milk is adding significantly to my caloric intake. I am also eating 1 egg yolk per day. A LITTLE far helps me to feel satisfied longer and is beneficial to my own personal blood sugar levels.<br /><br />I survived Day 1 on Cooler Plan 1 and actually only had time to squeeze in 4 meals of the 5 meals. It's not so bad, for just one week. The primary issue with it is that it is awfully boring. I'm determined to figure out how to make delicious, clean, dairy and sugar free food.<br /><br />For dinner, I gave the guys leftover white chili, with cheddar cheese and sour cream if they wanted, and also made them some corn muffins to go with it. DS hadn't had the chili yet and really enjoyed his. DC was in heaven since I piled his bowl with sour cream and shredded cheese, and he ate 2 corn muffins. My own dinner consisted of scrambled egg whites with chopped tomatoes and some spinach leaves throw in.<br /><br />I also squeezed in a workout, my first in months! I have noticed my energy level is better. Curses!! This plan may actually be working.Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-85998411623050427972009-08-29T12:36:00.000-07:002009-08-29T13:08:34.095-07:00DF27: Eat-Clean White ChiliWhile flipping through the recipes in Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet book, I found a white chili recipe that looked pretty good. I did adapt it a little from the way it's written, as I was using canned white beans rather than dry ones. It was just DC and me for dinner and I was pretty sure he'd enjoy the chili.<br /><br />The Eat-Clean Philosophy is to eat 5-6 small meals a day that include a serving of lean protein and complex carbs. Also, the emphasis is on whole, natural non-processed foods.<br /><br />Here is the recipe:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tosca Reno's Hearty White Bean Chili</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Makes 6-8 servings</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguA7VSRsvps19a3q6DDTqZhzvwoHzMS3R04ji085eGiWA9tPAtQUU-YqI2ngWI3a3ndyIkoyr9ShSR31jSL3lGeZ7bk0mInUnQWyRqcTmW1DL2qWy33-MSwhW3KO97_8CaszDUh4fbo9c/s1600-h/DSC02405.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguA7VSRsvps19a3q6DDTqZhzvwoHzMS3R04ji085eGiWA9tPAtQUU-YqI2ngWI3a3ndyIkoyr9ShSR31jSL3lGeZ7bk0mInUnQWyRqcTmW1DL2qWy33-MSwhW3KO97_8CaszDUh4fbo9c/s400/DSC02405.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375472461609195218" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Ingredients:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 lb. dry great northern beans or white kidney beans, rinsed and picked over</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">(I used 2 cans of Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">4 c. low-sodium chicken broth</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 c. yellow onions, chopped</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 lg. garlic cloves, minced</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 t. ground cumin</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 1/2 t. dried oregano</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 t. ground coriander</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1/8 t. ground cloves</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 4 oz. can chopped green chiles</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken or turkey breast, grilled and cubed</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 t. sea salt</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Instructions:</span><br />Place beans in a soup kettle or Dutch oven.

Add the chiles, chicken and sea salt., Cook for another hr. until beans are tender.<br /><br />I was able to prepare this soup on the stovetop in about 35 minutes by using canned beans.<br />Since I don't have a grill, the first thing I did was to season my skinless, boneless chicken breasts and pop them into the oven to roast at 350 for about 30 min.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZT53plo_-O8YRFVNHznvQeG_7axp99L_s8D7vVcI4jB_7e7B0h74CpJ9MdBOv1zPuSji6fqtM3MLObSBjEQ9K0OHFP2rdPwSawXdb5AF-MtSI_7UI1w62Z7SA60adogEBwb6rvDnb7I/s1600-h/DSC02403.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZT53plo_-O8YRFVNHznvQeG_7axp99L_s8D7vVcI4jB_7e7B0h74CpJ9MdBOv1zPuSji6fqtM3MLObSBjEQ9K0OHFP2rdPwSawXdb5AF-MtSI_7UI1w62Z7SA60adogEBwb6rvDnb7I/s400/DSC02403.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375472450554245042" border="0" /></a><br />Meanwhile, I sprayed my soup pot with non-stick spray and added a scant T of extra-virgin olive oil. Oil isn't called for in the original recipe, but since I wasn't going to be slow cooking this soup, I needed the oil to saute the onion and garlic. After the onion and garlic were tender, I added the spices and sauteed for a minute or two; then added the broth, beans, and chiles. I brought the soup to a boil, reduced the heat, and let simmer until the chicken was done.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMVYiY4LNFd6jy0s1aUG-G8Jx20dXUqAA3pw4Kwf_rmm1zJI1ubuFf9tXpbhyphenhyphenNxJ2ji0mJkFHZqKSk9UOi78r85bRWWAlGQk6dfjACCG2CBqLp8a5qRgKv6LMv80zmPr9RN5293domb9E/s1600-h/DSC02402.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMVYiY4LNFd6jy0s1aUG-G8Jx20dXUqAA3pw4Kwf_rmm1zJI1ubuFf9tXpbhyphenhyphenNxJ2ji0mJkFHZqKSk9UOi78r85bRWWAlGQk6dfjACCG2CBqLp8a5qRgKv6LMv80zmPr9RN5293domb9E/s400/DSC02402.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375472446229941890" border="0" /></a><br />I cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and added it and the liquid from the baking sheet to the soup pot.<br /><br />DC's bowl:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo2zDHNdChzegA7vaehOpbQ-lOeLMV-SRZbwq3bYZAl8c90BoCiMynDcRsyu8OXtf0FMEsQ9-SvMlOqa8WNzDW_QqdVXtR-l1UFMf_PsMCtJebsRq5HQgLkVEDIVE-y1lu8m-KxXDyaS0/s1600-h/DSC02404.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo2zDHNdChzegA7vaehOpbQ-lOeLMV-SRZbwq3bYZAl8c90BoCiMynDcRsyu8OXtf0FMEsQ9-SvMlOqa8WNzDW_QqdVXtR-l1UFMf_PsMCtJebsRq5HQgLkVEDIVE-y1lu8m-KxXDyaS0/s400/DSC02404.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375472453402308626" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I was feeling pretty good about my so-far sugar free day until I happened to glance at the ingredients in the chicken broth. As I was using the Whole Foods Store Brand Organic Chicken Broth, I had not thought to check its ingredient list first. I was really surprised to see "evaporated cane juice" as one of the ingredients towards the end of the list. Sugar!! Drat!!<br /><br />I ate the soup anyway. DC and I both thought it was terrific. Two thumbs up! I just need to be sure to get sugar-free broth next time.<br /><br />I served the chili with crushed blue corn chips on top, and DC had more chips and some of our favorite Jack's Special salsa with his. After having promised him some salsa, I found that ALL the salsa in the refrigerated section at WF contain sugar. Frustrating! So I did not eat any. The chips are sugar free, so I did have just a few of them. But it looks like I may need to make my own salsa if I want it to be sugar-free.<br /><br />My only criticism of the white chili is that it doesn't include any veggies to speak of, except for the onions, garlic, and small amount of chiles. I'm not sure what would be good in here (that DC would eat), but next time I fix this, I will definitely experiment with adding veggies of some kind to the pot.Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-48635993701843538952009-08-28T20:57:00.000-07:002009-08-28T21:27:32.753-07:00DF26: Decidedly not Sugar-FreeThe problem with sugar is that it's just in everything. I did pretty well until we went out to dinner. <br /><br />We tried first to go to Red Robin, which I figured would have at least a few sugar-free, dairy-free options. We unwittingly found ourselves in Hell on Earth-- the restaurant was hosting a Pee-Wee football team from North Raleigh, and was packed wall-to-wall with hyper, screaming, balloon-popping kids and their parents. We put our names on the waiting list and were told we'd be seated in 15 minutes or so. Honestly, the only reason I was willing to sit there amidst the nearly unbearable din is that there just were no other decent restaurants in that shopping area.<br /><br />After 20 deafening minutes, DC finally got fed up and went to check on our status on the waiting list. They told him we'd need to wait an additional 30 minutes! So of course, we left. I really wish restaurants would just close and host a private party for these kinds of events.<br /><br />So we were stuck going to the Wild Wings place, the only other restaurant nearby that would probably have some dairy-free options. The chicken wings are ok, but I must say, I cannot understand their appeal. They are greasy, and bony, and there's hardly any meat on them. I also really detest "sports bars"-- smoky, noisy, with 5 million TV screens everywhere. I feel bombarded by WAY too many stimuli at once. And a meal consisting solely of greasy chicken wings always leaves me feeling unsatisfied. DC loves both sports bars and chicken wings, which is simply a mystery to me.<br /><br />At any rate, we ordered the wing sampler platter that includes 5 different flavors of wings-- including Old Yeller (a Carolina mustard-based sauce), Red Dragon, kind of like a Teriyaki flavor, Cajun (DC's choice), regular Medium sauce wings, and General Tso's. Most of these were loaded with sugar. So it was just a frustrating dining experience all the way around. I left craving the burger I didn't get at Red Robin. Ah well-- tomorrow is bound to be better!Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-86246220981322047172009-08-26T11:43:00.000-07:002009-08-28T20:57:10.490-07:00DF25: Bracing for the Sugar BanYesterday I saw the acupuncture doc again for a treatment. She did a quick exam and said there is still too much "dampness" in my liver and lungs. And sinuses. She was surprised that I have been dairy-free for 24 days, and said I should be exhibiting fewer symptoms of dampness by now. She is blaming the continued dampness on my continued consumption of sugar. Which I have cut way down on, but have not eliminated from my diet completely. She also recommends eating more fruit. And barley.<br /><br />If it will make me better, I'll give it a try. Dampness or not, I've noticed a big improvement in my sinuses since going dairy free. It has been easier than I thought it would be. Surprisingly, I haven't had cheese cravings. Instead, I crave stuff like creamy sauces, hot chocolate, custards, and yogurt more than cheese. Also tea with milk. Tea with either Almond Breeze or Silk in it is just yucky. However, a vegan I met recently highly recommends the Pacific Hazelnut milk to put in tea. I was surprised to find our WF carries it. But I didn't buy it because it has 14 grams of sugar per serving (from where, I do not know, since all that's in there is hazelnuts and water, I think).<br /><br />To assist with making this transition to sugar-free living, I just ordered Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet. It has been recommended more than once on the forums at Cathe.com, my favorite fitness site. I previewed some of the content before ordering, and it's pretty hard-core. Also pretty grim. The reason I'm looking at this is that unless you're eating whole, unprocessed foods, it's hard to avoid sugar. And that's what her book is all about.<br /><br />From the brief amount of surfing I've done, it appears there are several "levels" of sugar-freeness. Some people just cut out sugar, but use natural sweeteners (like agave) and artifical sweetners (like Splenda). Other people don't even use alternative sweetners, or foods containing "sugar alcohols" like sugar-free gum and sugar-free protein bars, as they find these can trigger "sugar cravings." And some people apparently even eliminate perfectly good foods like raisins and oranges, that are high in natural sugar, for the same reason. All I can say is, wow-- with a lifestyle that strict, you probably spend more time obsessing over sugar: what NOT to eat, than focusing on and enjoying the food you can eat. But who am I to judge? These people consider themselves "sugar addicts" and find that their health is so much improved by their dietary practices that for them, it's worth it.<br /><br />As for me, I'll probably be in that first group. I've recently tried agave and found it to be fine, especially on the whole-grain, 0 grams of sugar cereal I purchased recently.<br /><br />Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a cereal that has at least 6 grams of fiber per serving (for the blood sugar) AND 0 grams of sugar? At Whole Foods I only found 1 yesterday. The Ezekiel brand "sprouted grain" stuff, which I think also contains lentils (I'm supposed to be eating "Ezekiel" bread instead of real bread so I'm somewhat familiar with the basic idea). The cereal tastes kind of like Grape Nuts, only more boring. It doesn't taste BAD, but it doesn't taste especially good either.<br /><br />Oh yeah, try that stuff with some sugar-free Almond Breeze on it and you might find yourself reaching for the Agave bottle too. Next time I have some, I'm going to see if I can avoid using the Agave (which may be sugar-free, but certainly is not <span style="font-weight: bold;">calorie-free</span>), by adding some fresh blueberries to the cereal.<br /><br />Even though I'm gonna do the sugar-free thing, I do have to wonder if I'm overall doing better nutritionally. Remember, I'm also supposed to avoid refined soy products like soy milk. (Though miso is ok. Certainly not on cereal, though!)<br /><br />For instance, I usually eat Kashi Go-Lean Crunch Cereal, which has 9 g of protein, 12 g of sugar and 8 g of fiber per serving, plus another 6 g of protein or so and calcium and some fiber if I top it with Silk. The Ezekiel stuff (I got the Almond kind) has 0 g sugar, 6 g fiber, and 8 g of protein per serving. Which is not bad. But the Almond Breeze has about 40 calories per CUP, but no protein at all. If not for the fact that the Almond Breeze is fortified with calcium, I might as well be topping the cereal with tap water for all the nutritional value I'm getting. Plus, the dr. wants me to eat an egg with my cereal, so I have to mess with cooking that too. Cold hard boiled eggs in the morning just don't sit well with me.<br /><br />I agree with the basic ideas of the Tosca Reno Eat Clean Diet, which is not a diet at all, but a lifestyle change. One of the most important ideas is only whole foods, no processed foods-- so no bread, just cooked whole grains. Canned tomatoes are probably a no-no too. Although if my usual brand has no sugar, I don't plan to stop using them.<br /><br />Tosca recommends you eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day, each with a serving of lean protein and a complex carb. When I'm weight-training, that's pretty much my routine, as I feel best that way. I'm gonna get back to weight-training this week. Really. But it's a lot easier to do this if you can eat dairy-- a Fage yogurt and a piece of fruit, and you're all set.<br /><br />But holy crap, the portion sizes are miniscule, especially for the carbs. And the way she talks about them is (to me) exceedingly annoying: Two handsful of this. A scant palm-ful of that. Could you please for heaven's sake just give me an actual measurement, either by weight or volume, I don't care which, if the portion size is such a big deal?<br /><br />Plus she wants you to pack a cooler full of "approved" food every day. I can see the wisdom of doing this if you work outside your home, and are going to be eating every 3 hrs. or so, but I think my fridge will work just fine, thank you. I will even do my best to prep the food ahead of time. And since I do need to lose all those pounds I've gained over the past year, portion control is probably not a bad idea.<br /><br />You all know how much I love desserts. And baking. And eating out. So I honestly don't know how well this is going to go. But on the positive side, several people who've eliminated sugar from their diets have said that after the first 2 or 3 days, you no longer crave sugar. We'll see about that. The dr. also said that my palate has to get "adjusted."<br /><br />Yeah... is that like when my Weight Watchers lecturer told me I would learn to enjoy liver if I kept trying it? Because that is certainly never worked for me. I cannot abide liver, despite numerous attempts. Don't even come near me with pate. The only liver I've ever eaten and enjoyed is whitefish livers, and you can only get those if you live near Lake Superior. Personally, I think my palate is in tip-top shape and works just fine.<br /><br />The one big question mark in my mind is what to do about DC. Since I can barely get ONE dinner on the table most days, let alone TWO, I think he may just have to live with sugar-free, dairy-free dinners, at least for a while. DS probably won't care much, as long as I don't make him eat stuff he actively hates. Several reviews commented that the book does contain some really good recipes in it. There is also a separate cookbook available, which I may end up buying. As to how all this is going to work when I'm on the road, which I am 1-2 times a month, I have no clue.<br /><br />All I know is that I have to come up with a system I can reasonably live with most of the time, that includes food that is not only nutritious, but also delicious and satisfying.Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-29485556282019539702009-08-26T10:19:00.000-07:002009-08-29T12:36:04.619-07:00DF24: Lacinato Kale<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNWwKvZ6vlSrjwAx9Lc_vKQyyU54cKdTF_G6oUkZrmOvUJ-AYE8zDfnZ35vmYd03qzRJH07bLLhaQJYglKvsyxsi7UmpthOIC3FdCFvigTGZEai0t3T4kmXe7H0T33fCHeyhvVMrpMT5E/s1600-h/DSC02396.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNWwKvZ6vlSrjwAx9Lc_vKQyyU54cKdTF_G6oUkZrmOvUJ-AYE8zDfnZ35vmYd03qzRJH07bLLhaQJYglKvsyxsi7UmpthOIC3FdCFvigTGZEai0t3T4kmXe7H0T33fCHeyhvVMrpMT5E/s400/DSC02396.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375471670813848338" border="0" /></a><br />Since I'm not eating dairy, it's important for me to choose other high-calcium foods. Leafy greens (except spinach) generally are high in calcium. Organic Lacinato Kale was on sale half-price at WF, and I've always wanted to try it. It's a lovely dark green color with sort of savoyed leaves, and looks a lot more like chard than the typical kale, which I think is usually called Russian kale. So into the cart it went.<br /><br />Lacinato kale is an heirloom Italian variety and is popular in various regions of Italy. It's a relative newcomer here, at least to the stores where I shop, probably due to the difficulties of getting the heirloom seeds for commercial production.<br /><br />I am one of those strange individuals that adores cooked greens in just about any form. I've been trying to convert DC into a greens-lover as well, and have had good success with chard. He was not big on the Lacinato, unfortunately. I served the Lacinato with Turkish Burgers (yeah, we just had those, but I needed something easy to fix). True to his meatatarian tendencies, DC ate his burger with gusto.<br /><br />Fresh chard, kale, and other greens are really a bit of a pain to prepare, so don't choose them when you are rushed or preparing several other dishes. They are a pain because they require quite a bit of care and handling. If I am planning to use them in a soup rather than as a side dish by themselves, frozen chopped greens will answer very well to this purpose, and what could be easier than opening the bag and dumping them in the soup?<br /><br />First, always wash fresh greens carefully, as many greens tend to trap sand. This bunch was pretty clean, but better safe than sorry. A mouthful of grit will surely turn anyone off greens. The easiest way I have found to wash them is to put them in a sinkful of tepid water for a few minutes, and then carefully lift them out and drain.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26ORmszIp-Ybdu9ZcfQ4w_c6toCo_iIDMfKrSpcuCe-4_B6rKfI-vWJMvCLR9liSRDDB2yYjs40UFwgLFg2wOMgEoA_Dv-jtchnwPYPzLn5p2DJhjfh0C2sJLHo0Vdlmn9IbUG-shsgs/s1600-h/DSC02393.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26ORmszIp-Ybdu9ZcfQ4w_c6toCo_iIDMfKrSpcuCe-4_B6rKfI-vWJMvCLR9liSRDDB2yYjs40UFwgLFg2wOMgEoA_Dv-jtchnwPYPzLn5p2DJhjfh0C2sJLHo0Vdlmn9IbUG-shsgs/s400/DSC02393.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375469522610258114" border="0" /></a><br />The dirt will sink to the bottom of the sink and stay there, as long as you don't churn up the water when removing the greens.<br /><br />Second, kale, and lacinato is no exception, has a very tough center rib/stem that must be removed before cooking. Again, the easiest way I have found to do this is to turn the leaves over and cut alongside either side of the rib, up to the part where it's small enough to get tender at the same time as the leaves, and then chop it off at that point.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8FOB1J9maxxRLBVA1ds7ouRFLIrKm86xoaWIJissWWVFIV0Lnsop9GHHhGShLNy3QGXWW5PGDvpNpO9je0H-0SrIrWKOZoquNtrezXbmOBWuZRq6boEtJ7rkc1gKtFNzeEtKOMkuQ06Q/s1600-h/DSC02394.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8FOB1J9maxxRLBVA1ds7ouRFLIrKm86xoaWIJissWWVFIV0Lnsop9GHHhGShLNy3QGXWW5PGDvpNpO9je0H-0SrIrWKOZoquNtrezXbmOBWuZRq6boEtJ7rkc1gKtFNzeEtKOMkuQ06Q/s400/DSC02394.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375469526022559650" border="0" /></a><br />This leaves you with a kind of swallow-tailed remnant.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlEH3Mj4K16L-LE-fO769octJYk48Rp4oklsinKpSbJjclgQImMEfK2fn1aQGPzCOD8JIF1K0KilxUz5yM7io2wQS0HAi4yW2bILnQDjNOXNx5XZuhCxeiYEWpl2PAQ41gWwIvdbkU0K0/s1600-h/DSC02395.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlEH3Mj4K16L-LE-fO769octJYk48Rp4oklsinKpSbJjclgQImMEfK2fn1aQGPzCOD8JIF1K0KilxUz5yM7io2wQS0HAi4yW2bILnQDjNOXNx5XZuhCxeiYEWpl2PAQ41gWwIvdbkU0K0/s400/DSC02395.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375469533879592882" border="0" /></a><br />I have seen suggestions to cut the kale stems into pieces and cook with the leaves, but I have never found them to get tender or be particularly tasty. I toss 'em. Yeah, seems like a waste. They aren't even good for vegetable stock, as they are a cruciferous vegetable and you never want to put those in your stock, as they will dominate the flavor and make it bitter. They might be ok in a long-cooking soup where you might use cabbage. Lacinato leaves are supposed to stand up to long cooking times better than other types of greens, making them ideal for soups.<br /><br />Finally, stack the leaves 5 or 6 at at time and slice cross-wise into 1 inch strips.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQeg_o9D-Oyo0-UjKGuwvU1NvoEuG59VL82IiaAbEhkxYVGIcsMP89_sIwJVGb5mkbsKy3KmibduyOWeoJ1ap84f_tAhAHRmF5ncA106vJwDTj0VPwQz6PF1R030IvJXi2iqOx9j2HZS0/s1600-h/DSC02397.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQeg_o9D-Oyo0-UjKGuwvU1NvoEuG59VL82IiaAbEhkxYVGIcsMP89_sIwJVGb5mkbsKy3KmibduyOWeoJ1ap84f_tAhAHRmF5ncA106vJwDTj0VPwQz6PF1R030IvJXi2iqOx9j2HZS0/s400/DSC02397.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375469545910542354" border="0" /></a><br />They cook down amazingly, so you will need a large pile of raw greens to serve 3-4 people.<br /><br />I will share my free-form recipe for sauteed greens below. You can adapt it for many kinds of greens. If you are cooking a more tender green, like chard, it will need much less cooking time to become tender, probably 3-4 minutes of saute time and 5-6 minutes of braising time, depending on how tender you like the stems.<br /><br />I find most greens to have an affinity for garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes, so that is my standard seasoning combo. Of course, traditionally you'd use some part of the pig (hog jowls, ham hocks, or bacon drippings) to season the greens, but extra-virgin olive oil works fine for me, since I'm doing a quick rather than a long cooking technique.<br /><br />I really don't think you can have too much garlic in the greens, so I use quite a bit, at least 1 T minced.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixHg5K3yjAfQCzUvIXhiiO5kTM5pQss6eMk3Yf7sFPN_wWSYEjjW4B3VfDap6nLrkXi27T7Xnp2k_Ka6VJj-I6jS-nxUlH4gG6qwlqw5kcJdzNXbMyMNFRAgrJb8GHATeHOWfQcNmIQo0/s1600-h/DSC02398.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixHg5K3yjAfQCzUvIXhiiO5kTM5pQss6eMk3Yf7sFPN_wWSYEjjW4B3VfDap6nLrkXi27T7Xnp2k_Ka6VJj-I6jS-nxUlH4gG6qwlqw5kcJdzNXbMyMNFRAgrJb8GHATeHOWfQcNmIQo0/s400/DSC02398.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375469844335977810" border="0" /></a><br />I heat a couple of T of EVOO in a large skillet over medium heat and add the red pepper flakes, usually 1/4-1/2 t., depending on how adventuresome I'm feeling. After 2 or 3 minutes of letting the red pepper flakes infuse the hot oil, I add the garlic.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzT3pO2-Q_IKzQ1td34VVGMwZRkqjlGwz_3pKhBE11ZBglH-zp4HcwtWoiKJ6thtPIM2lRzkEvIIgaF1pCcVOSTuXZqqE4rpFAG-_7F6I4nFjmUs04RQTu8VSG7-pu_hEH-lmubqjQjG8/s1600-h/DSC02399.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzT3pO2-Q_IKzQ1td34VVGMwZRkqjlGwz_3pKhBE11ZBglH-zp4HcwtWoiKJ6thtPIM2lRzkEvIIgaF1pCcVOSTuXZqqE4rpFAG-_7F6I4nFjmUs04RQTu8VSG7-pu_hEH-lmubqjQjG8/s400/DSC02399.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375469851962384194" border="0" /></a><br />You have to watch it closely so it doesn't burn and ruin the whole dish. I toss in some salt at this point too.<br /><br />Once the garlic has cooked for a couple of minutes, I add the fairly damp chopped greens and a little more salt to the skillet.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEoK8o_9MxSTkud2yEWx3RXt5Xu6Nr8BrhRWh5y070QKxD9eimA-3dKoWex4bSwLnXB5B-1YheetXAgdlS3U7cGUb5JGzIeGfLxylwRmcf-W6gvVRZgJeW2mFw0fIRLg62wIbgy3xLkOY/s1600-h/DSC02400.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEoK8o_9MxSTkud2yEWx3RXt5Xu6Nr8BrhRWh5y070QKxD9eimA-3dKoWex4bSwLnXB5B-1YheetXAgdlS3U7cGUb5JGzIeGfLxylwRmcf-W6gvVRZgJeW2mFw0fIRLg62wIbgy3xLkOY/s400/DSC02400.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375469857158732066" border="0" /></a><br />Be careful, since the water clinging to the leaves can cause the oil to sputter. Turn the heat up to medium-high and saute for about 5 minutes. Then add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet, cover, and turn the heat down to medium low. Since this is kale, and it's pretty sturdy stuff, it will need another 10-15 minutes of cooking to become tender.<br /><br />While the Lacinato was braising, I prepared the burger mixture and cooked the patties. I also sauteed 1 Hungarian wax pepper, seeded, stemmed and cut into strips, to top the burgers. Along with some chopped raw tomatoes tossed with mayo, garlic, salt, and pepper. This time I didn't make homemade pitas, but cut a sesame-seeded kaiser roll in half, toasted it, and spread each half with mayo (one for me, one for DC), as the platform for the burgers. Yeah, I'm not supposed to eat white bread, but I couldn't face the thought of a Turkish burger served on Ezekiel bread.<br /><br />Once the burgers were almost done, I checked the Lacinato and it was nice and tender. I love to season greens with vinegar and use various kinds, depending on how the mood strikes me. Today I used some Umeboshi Plum vinegar, which added a nice acidic and salty bite to the greens. After tasting I felt they still needed more of an acidic note, so I sprinkled in a T or so of white wine vinegar, and some black pepper. It was perfect to my taste.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio9Iv_r-VlFOuZ0ijLQyTZ1E0fnrLnWSaL_KAkBRgu4iWrSaY8WgdmuSbiu67rRFcxYvN-D1gLuhexUjgN0Lz36Ntfb1ZuXcNQJeY8m2ZM1cVyxsu40CIFk2DLR9f-5A-QbhDNcQxD0yw/s1600-h/DSC02401.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio9Iv_r-VlFOuZ0ijLQyTZ1E0fnrLnWSaL_KAkBRgu4iWrSaY8WgdmuSbiu67rRFcxYvN-D1gLuhexUjgN0Lz36Ntfb1ZuXcNQJeY8m2ZM1cVyxsu40CIFk2DLR9f-5A-QbhDNcQxD0yw/s400/DSC02401.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375469859244882482" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Of course, in the South, it's quite traditional to serve greens with a cruet of vinegar at the table, sometimes even the kind that has tiny little fiery peppers stuffed into the bottle. Interestingly, acids, such as in vinegar or tomatoes, helps your body to absorb the iron in the greens. Our ancestors were pretty smart to come up with the greens/vinegar flavor combo, weren't they?<br /><br />Out of 2 bunches of Lacinato, I got about 3-4 servings, maybe a little more. I gave myself a good 2 servings worth and DC about half a serving. Which turned out to be a good idea, since he basically did not touch them. And I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!<br /><br />In addition to vinegar, some people like to serve greens, generally the long-cooking kinds like turnip, collards or mustard greens, with chopped hard-cooked egg and sometimes some bacon bits or pork "side meat" (you'd remove whatever kind of pork part you used during the cooking, such as ham hock, and cut the meat off the bones and into tiny pieces). Some people also like chopped scallions on their greens. The traditional accompaniment would be cornbread, of course, to sop up all that good ol' pot liquor (i.e., the cooking liquid).<br /><br />Since we were having the kaiser roll, and there <span style="font-style: italic;">was</span> no pot liquor with this cooking method, I didn't bother with the cornbread. Besides, it's best made with buttermilk, so is not dairy free.<br /><br />I liked the Lacinato much more than traditional kale, which can sometimes get a little bitter. The Lacinato was also much more tender than other varieties of kale, so easier to use with my quick-cooking technique.<br /><br />One of these days, I'll make some real Southern greens, the kind that cooks all day, so you can see that. Although for most people, that is really an acquired taste. Of course, DS and I love 'em, so I try to make them once a year or so for DS. (They are not the healthiest thing with those pig parts in there, which are also getting harder and harder to find.)<br /><br />Something I find amazing is that DS is named in memory of my dad, who, although from the frozen tundra of northern Minnesota originally, was an enthusiastic convert to my mom's Southern-style cooking. Dad passed away some 13 years before DS was born, so they never knew each other. Dad's favorite foods were probably black-eyed peas and greens. They are also among DS's big favorites, and he will typically order them any time he gets a chance (e.g., at Cracker Barrel). DS has LOVED greens since he was about 9 months old and kept trying to reach for my bowl. I gave him a little pot liquor in a spoon, and he slurped it down and licked his chops! He's been a big fan ever since.Karen Brown Letartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604180076763026537noreply@blogger.com1
