Wednesday night's dinner, pan fried fillet of salmon with samphire and Hollandaise sauce. It was all delicious, but the best bit was the crispy skin :yum: Quote:

So I had some leftover steamed broccoli from the night before .. normally I'd throw in a pan with eggs and cheese to make a frittata but this day I fancied a cold salad plate for lunch. The dressing/dip is 50:50 mix mayo & greek yogurt with lemon-pepper seasoning.
Eggs cooked in the Instant Pot are easy to peel, and no gray ring around the yolk. Keep in the fridge - shell on - up to a week :idea:. (after I'd snapped the pic, I also tossed on a few kalamata olives) |
GB - that looks awesome and easy! I've never had real potstickers before but they sound great.
Demi - I had to google samphire. I guess there's not much of an export market for it because I don't think I've ever seen it over here. Nice salmon! Doreen - I love cold leftover broccoli/cauliflower salads. I like stretching my salad dressing with cottage cheese, too, it's just a little more work to get it not-lumpy. I made a fantastic chicken salad the other day. The dressing was mayo, mushed-up cottage cheese, 1/2 pk of Splenda, a dot of mustard, a splash of pickle juice, and some celery salt because I've pretty much stopped buying celery. It ends up going to waste. I mixed in some green onion and red bell pepper. I've been a huge fan of red bell pepper in these salads (egg and cauliflower, too) for years, when we used to make our chicken salad with jarred pimentos at work. (Pictured with a sausage/green pepper mini-omelet) A favourite dish of mine now: black pepper steak, like I can get at Chinese restaurants, but this is gluten-free. It's amazing in the Instant Pot. |
I had leftover sauce from the black pepper steak, so I reduced it and made egg foo young. It was fantastic. 😘🤌🏼

Loving everyone's food pics! :thup: :D

Yesterday's lunch, a Parmesan and herb omelette. Quick and easy!
|
Nice omelette! My ceramic pan is getting too sticky to make nice omelettes anymore.
It's this time of year now: ...so I'll be eating a lot of this: Salad with chicken, orange & yellow bell peppers, bacon, HB egg, lite ranch. |
I bought some really good pre-seasoned Filipino pork kebabs yesterday. I had them with some lettuce, tomato and greek yogurt + creamy cucumber dressing on the side. Very tasty.

That looks yummy Kristine!

One of my favourite things is a roast chicken, and I cook one at least once a week. Any leftover chicken I have cold with a Caesar salad the following day.
I melt some butter, brush it all over the chicken, add a little bit more to the top and then sprinkle with fines herbes. I don't put any salt on the chicken because the butter I use already contains sea salt crystals. I also put the chicken on a rack int he roasting pan. That way I catch all the lovely juices below, which I use as a gravy. |
Yesterday's lunch:
Chicken with rocket (arugula), baby tomatoes, avocado, Parmesan and Caesar dressing. |
Nice, Demi. :thup: That's about how I do my roast chicken, too. If I'm not too lazy, I'll rub the melted herb-butter underneath the skin as much as I can, plus some in the cavity with chopped onion.
Last night, the house was pretty hot, so I turned some leftover cooked zoodles + spiralized (raw) cucumber + leftover chicken breast into an Asian salad. The dressing was tamari (soy sauce) + a tad of sesame oil + ginger/garlic paste + Splenda. I just realized honey would have been nice there. Some carrot and/or bell pepper would have been nice, also, but I didn't have any. Still really good. Ate it with my nice chopsticks to feel fancy. :yum: |
Kristine's post above planted a craving for asian flavours :cool:. So I made a stir fry with chicken livers (cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces), onion and mixed bell pepper/capsicum chunks. Gluten-free tamari soy sauce, sambal oelek, toasted sesame oil, pinch of 5-spice, and a splash of balsamic vinegar for sweet-sour tang. On the side, a large head of baby bok choy cut in half and sautéed face-down in the same pan.
It was good :thup:. A nice change from the usual liver with bacon and onions. |
