| Kale Chips! |
[May. 24th, 2012|03:29 pm] |
I think I discovered magic. Literal fairy magic.
Kale chips.
I’ve never even eaten kale before. I saw someone mention this recently and figured it was worth a shot. Oh my god. So worth it.
The wonder if these things is you can eat them all day. Literally, all day, every day. You can eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, because, although you may not admit it to yourself, you’re eating a vegetable. And I don’t mean eating a vegetable like eating french fries is eating a vegetable. I mean actually eating a leafy green good-for-you vegetable. A POUND of kale has 34 calories and less than a gram of fat. And it doesn’t shrink nearly as much as spinach does, so a big handful of raw kale is still a pretty good handful of kale chips. No trickery.
I made the first batch with no salt or seasonings whatsoever, just light cooking spray. When I did a taste test after I pulled them out of the oven, I blinked and realized I had eaten the whole batch before I even got the second oven mitt off. Oh my gosh. This is the perfect snacking food. They’re so delightfully, perfectly crispy, you think you’re eating junk food but you’re not.
It's super crazy easy.
- However much kale you want (I think I have about a pound) ripped into chunks about an inch big, spine not included.
- Light cooking spray
- Salt or seasonings if desired
Spray the cookie sheet lightly, lay the kale out, spray the kale lightly, then stir a bit with a spatula to coat. Season if you like. Bake at 275 for about 15 minutes (although I’ve heard overcooking can happen really easily, so try 10 minutes, eat one, if it doesn’t quite feel done another five minutes, repeat until perfect).
On the second batch I seasoned very lightly with Lawry’s. It turned out to be overkill. I’m going to enjoy these plain.
Even baby Vincent ate the crap out of these!
The pictures can’t ever do it justice, because you can’t see how crispity crunchity they are.

| Magic Bullet Tomato soup |
[May. 17th, 2012|04:58 pm] |
I just got a magic bullet. I'm so excited! I've used the thing five times today already!
One thing I've always wanted to do is make homemade tomato soup. I'm going to the store tonight to get supplies. The recipe I've got so far is:
2 tomatos (or 10 cherry tomatos)
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/3 cup milk
1 clove garlic
I really want to add more to this soup, BUT I don't really like chunky soups. I know if I steam and blend it can come out pretty creamy, so what do you suggest I add? I'm thinking maybe a small onion and zucchini. Any other ideas? |

| Too much garlic in my cottage cheese. :( |
[May. 4th, 2012|11:36 pm] |

I was mixing garlic powder with cottage cheese to make a veggie dip and oops! Too much garlic! I'm out of cottage cheese so I can't dilute it and won't be able to go to the store for a few days. Any suggestions on what I could do? I'm on a low-fat diet right now so suggestions in that realm are preferable, but not required. |

Finally made a real dinner from a cookbook tonight for the first time in ages and it was delicious! It's from the book Hot and Spicy and Meatless. I was hoping it would be somewhat hotter but it was still very flavorful. One thing if any of you want to make it--lentils apparently expand A TON when you cook them so I ended up with like 3 cups too much! So now I gotta find some other lentil recipe I guess.
( recipe! ) |

| Got a question about Pok Choi... |
[Apr. 30th, 2012|09:14 pm] |
I absolutely love the stuff with chinese food and my mum decided to bring some up when she came to visit (the woman, bless her, brings a huge amount of food and stuffs my cupboards out of fear that I'll starve). So I made a Kung Po stir fry the other night for myself and the husband but totally forgot to use the Pok Choi.
I don't want it to go to waste but I don't fancy doing another stir fry or just having it plain (wilted in soy sauce). Does anyone have any good recipes for pok choi?
The easier/simpler, the better. I do dance classes every evening so I don't have a lot of time in the week to do a big dinner. |

To those of you who eat fry ups, what do you use in them?
Until I became vegetarian I absolutely DESPISED fry ups but now I enjoy them on the regular.
I usually toast a breakfast muffin (Or a cinnamon and raisin bagel mmmmmm) and fry tomatoes, mushrooms and asparagus then just chuck it all on a plate. I'm not really a fan of really 'burnt' food but with fry ups I pretty much cook my mushrooms to a crisp.
Bonus points to any good suggestions that don't include eggs - Sadly over the past year I seem to have developed a severe egg intolerance :c |
