Food and Recipes while under Coronavirus quarantine #5

I’m done in the kitchen for the day. I’m trying to use up what we have. I started this morning with hash brown patties & egg with cheese. Then I made muffins using up the strawberries & blueberries.

I roasted carrots with a little olive oil and honey to coat them. Added kosher salt, pepper, onion & garlic powders and parsley.

I quartered and sautéed pearl onions. I’d never used them before. I sliced zucchini and cut tiny tomatoes in half. Added kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder and parsley. A friend makes this a lot. So I wanted to try it.

The russet potatoes were getting old & had eyes. I peeled them and made a big bowl of mashed potatoes.

Now I’m horizontal. Ha!

Put maple syrup on the carrots (add some onion). Maybe some ginger, garlic and brown sugar too. Omg.

I've heard of people using syrup but I typically don't have that on hand. We put fruit jam on waffles & pancakes.

I've always used honey. Carrots are the only veggie just a touch of sweetness is ok to me. If I have fresh onion and garlic and have time, I'll chop those up too. I'm allergic to ginger so that's out. I've never put brown sugar on a any veggie.

Everything came out delicious and I never did cook any meat. Just a plate full of veggies for dinner.

Try some brown sugar and butter on baked sweet potatoes. Also good to glaze carrots with if you aren’t using honey.

I baste salmon with brown sugar and maple syrup. Add a little mustard for a sweet/sour glaze. Delicious!

Honey goes well with everything imho although I admit that adding sugar to veggies (and fruit) seems counterintuitive!

Maple syrup just adds some dimension and is sort of like a glaze. Turnip with some brown sugar and cinnamon is also very good.

Meat is not a necessity. I was surprised to learn that even brocoli has protein.

Thanks! I just corrected my post above.

Cooking continued today.......

Hashbrown patties & egg w/ cheese this morning.

My version of "Coronation Quiche" is a Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake. I am 1/2 English but honestly, and no offense to anyone, but half their food sounds weird. My Carb Queen Czech side comes out strong in my cooking far more often.

I wanted fried chicken so my attempt was egg dredge, then plain breadcrumbs, a little flour, kosher salt, pepper, onion & garlic power and Parmesan cheese mixed up for the coating. They're good but it needs more spices next time. Maybe I'll dip it in Ranch for dinner.

Does this look/sound weird @PayrollNerd ? It was a super dinner for a Tuesday, roast chicken, with pork sage and onion stuffing, roast new potatoes, brocolli, peas, Yorkshire puds and cranberry sauce on the side! It was epic! Now for a lie down

We like King Arthur flour.

 

[killarney rose]

I use that for bread.

It sounds epic with the exception of the Yorkshire Pudding thing. I don't think I could get that past my lips.

The Best Yorkshire Pudding Recipe

The secret to the ultimate Yorkshire pudding is making the batter in advance. The result is Yorkshire pudding that rises tall, is tender and lightly chewy.

I love baked sweet potatoes, but with just butter.

I think I was served too many marshmallow topped sweet potato brown sugar concoctions when I was growing up. The baked sweet potato marshmallow casserole was super popular back in the 70s. More like a dessert than a vegetable. And it seemed like every family get together or gathering with friends included a variety of sweet potato marshmallow bake.

I never tasted a baked sweet potato with just butter until after I left home, and I thought “wow! This is what sweet potatoes taste like!” A vegetable rather than a dessert.

Once at a restaurant I chose a baked sweet potato as one of the sides with my meal, and the server asked, “Do you want that topped with caramel ice cream topping, marshmallow cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter?” Lol.

That was a great article. I am not a fan of bread puddings at all. I think it’s the doughy factor. If I under bake cookie dough, biscuits or rolls, I won’t eat them. I’ve always been that way too.

If I actually play the lotto & win, I’ll have to go across the pond and take cooking classes!

Yorkshire puddings, in my limited experience, are more like flaky pie pastry than bread, don't be mislead by the name. But maybe there's a spectrum of kinds I'm not aware of.

Whenever I read about Yorkshire pudding I think it's some cross between a pastry and a bread/roll, until I come to a screeching halt when I read "beef drippings".

Is it a pastry/bread with a meat component/meat flavor, or are the beef drippings really just a fat source that could be swapped for butter or oil or other fat?
