Whats for supper? The quarantine cooking thread

where did you get a zucchini this time of year?

it must have been one of them zucchini's grown in a greenhouse.
they dont taste the same as fresh garden ones.
I love zucchini bread and zucchini cake. but i wont buy them ones grown in the greenhouses.
i know they are just as healthy but i find they lack taste

same with cherry tomatoes
i wont buy the greenhouse cherry tomatoes either.

i will if i ever have to. but not by choice i wont

I'll be right over! : )

you only do real mashed potatoes under quarantine?

The last 2 nights we ate through a mish-mash of left overs so this was a nice change.

Steak, sautéed garlic green beans & cauliflower pilaf. It was yummy.

Hormel chili with beans over a bed of brown rice.

That's awesome!

I have been craving hot red chili broth every day.

You can make it thick or thin, soup or sauce, add meat, veg, rice or noodles, have it over eggs any way you would like. I like it as soup broth for breakfast. Gets you zippy like a cup of coffee.

Hot Red peppers combine any you have, dried, flakes, powder, fresh, frozen, canned anything you have, the little packs of pizza pepper flakes work.

Garlic
ginger
onion
soy or salt
fish sauce if you have it
a little sugar
dash of lime juice or lemon or vinegar
a fresh green on top like cilantro, parsley, basil, kale is nice but not required. I simmer in some of my dried powdered garden greens I preserved.

Simmer in a few cups of water for a bit, strain the broth and add more water to the bits, simmer longer to make second batch.
It is addicting and you end up putting it on everything.

Add a little corn starch or flour to entire mix without straining for a thicker sauce for stir fry, zippy noodles or meat glaze.

It will last a long time in the frig.

Chicken n noodles
Mashed taters
Green beans with my stash of bacon drippings

I made 3 gallons of chicken soup the other day, I've been switching between noodles and rice added to it, two gallons are frozen for next week after I've mixed it up a bit.

Mango, banana, termites on a stick.

A whole chicken (5-6 lbs) can feed a person for a whole week.
Chicken and rice
BBQ chicken
Chicken and beans
Chicken Soup
Stir fry chicken and rice
Chicken and dumplings

Tonight it's leftovers, but a fresh apple crumble for dessert.

Last night was chicken salad with carrot, green onion, red grapes, celery, pumpkin seeds, pesto, mayo, and seedy mustard. Froze the chicken carcass for broth.

Thursday was spaghetti with meatballs. It was actually rotini because I didn't want to use the gluten free pasta my delivery shopper picked out.

Wednesday was soft tacos with kidney beans, corn, beef, tomato, onion cheese. Made sure to put refried and black beans on my next order.

I'm eyeing my #30 cans of hard white wheat and wondering if I can grind it in my coffee grinder. There's no flour anywhere around me.
