| Green Eggs and Ham |
[May. 30th, 2012|10:17 pm] |
Okay, so, obviously that’s not really ham. It’s avocado, which, as they say, is the ham of the vegetarian community.
Okay, nobody says that. But I don’t eat ham, and nobody wants green ham anyway, so this works just fine.
I originally wanted this to be an omelet. Every time I make an omelet it turns into just scrambled eggs with stuff in it, because I still can’t get the hang of omelets. Oh well.
Back to the topic at hand.
I don’t have kids but I imagine this would be a good way to get kids to eat their veggies.
- 1 egg (or egg white)
- splash of fat free milk
- 1 garlic clove
- handful of spinach
- small handful of mushrooms
- tablespoon of fresh onion
- 1/4 cup of cheese: I used Parmesan because it’s what I had on hand, use whatever you prefer.
Mix all ingredients together in a blender (I used my Magic Bullet!), pour mixture into greased/oiled/buttered/margarined frying pan and cook until all the salmonella’s gone (I don’t know how to describe scrambling eggs, so just as long as you don’t die you probably did a good job). Enjoy with some avocado. Or ham.

| 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. |
