WW recipe for Moussaka. Missed the Bechamel sauce, but it was still pretty good. Cavendish fries in the air fryer
Black Bean Garlic Shrimp, Bitter Melon over rice noodles
Tried a different lasagna recipe, using Ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. The filling was lean ground beef and spicy Italian sausage.
Crab Cakes, asparagus, Cavendish fries, and field greens salad

@Shelby: I always look forward to your meals!
WE had been to Winnipeg for our grandson's enrollment into the RCAF. Went for dim sum lunch after, and we were so full day after when we came home that I didn't want to cook. So, quick wonton soup with ramen for early supper:
Picked up a large chunk of beef liver, price reduced from $7.00 to $5.00 at Safeway. Guess no one else wanted to do the slicing himself. I loved it, cut it thick! Breaded and pan fried. Finished in the oven. Onion, peas and mashed taters = perfect meal!
Picked up Chinese Mustard Greens in the city. Enjoyed soup with pork neck bones a couple of hours before supper.
Have not seen this Cottage Roll for ages. Ss Flashfood app showed this for $4.79, so I grabbed a couple for the freezer. I remember cooking these early in our marriage when we had one lowly income as hubby taught on permit.
The roll was simmered with a bay leaf, celery, onion and carrot for a couple of hours. Then I glazed it with brown sugar/whole grain Dijon mustard, OJ, nutmeg and roasted in the oven for 20 minutes.
It was fall apart, tender, and not as fatty as I anticipated. Fried up leftover mashed taters and peas. Blanched Chinese cabbage and asparagus in the simmering liquid. We enjoyed the cottage roll supper!

WAIT! Waaaiiitt....
I know what it looks like 😬. But please take it from me (or google, or tiktok, I wouldn't believe this either) - this is a Modern Northern English delicacy.
It's a Jacket potato (that's a whole skin on tayto roasted so long it can take its armoured self to war) topped with butter, cheese and a Chinese Chicken Chippy Curry (The curry has never been to China but you buy it in Fish and Chip shops and / or Chinese takeaways - often the same place).
It might look terrible. But the boys love it.
Heathens.
I use Glico curry paste cubes for our chips!

Had leftover rice, so made a favourite from hubby's family's recipes. His Mom never liked rice as a veg, only in rice pudding. dad and hubby loved rice in any form.
Mixed rice in with a couple of eggs, chili flakes and made an omelet. Cheddar cheese sauce ladled over and sprinkled with chili flakes.

Picked up back ribs and tried a Char Siu recipe that is very similar to the one I use. This one used honey in place of sugar. Th ribs were marinated overnight, and they were roasted in foil at 300 for 2 hours. Once uncovered, I basted the ribs a couple of times and raised the temp. to 400. The ribs were good, and one rack went to grandson!
Had one of the granddaughters spending the afternoon with us while Dad was working. She loves beef - roast or steak, medium rare. I slow roasted a single rib prime, had some Cavendish waffle fries (air fryer) and steamed asparagus, carrots, and some raw vegs for the grand. She had the pieces that were more rare than the big pieces.

A quick supper of hubby's family favourite before attending a garden club meting. February and I am already itching to go play in the dirt! LOL!
KD moat with creamed salmon and corn:
Our little Chinese grocery store stocks Greenland Halibut. I had picked one up and thawed it for supper tonight. It smelled fishy, so I washed it well, and pulled the skin off. Steamed for 10 minutes, then slathered it with sizzle oil over ginger, and a sauce with ginger, green onion, and cilantro. I love it when I can buy cilantro with roots! Stir-fried a half bag of vegetables that came with teriyaki sauce, and half a bag of bean sprouts that needed using up. The fish was lovely!

Meals had been catered to the grands. Sunday, first supper alone: Odds and Ends from the fridge and freezer from meals before grands:
Bit of beef Fajita, Shake'n Bake BBQ chicken breast, a couple of shrimp over noodles and Gailan.
Wanted Beef and Sechuan spicy turnip, but was out, so used Mui Choy (fermented cabbage), spicy radish and mint.
We have a grocery here called Brandon Food Rescue that sells excess food donated from various stores, Hutterite colonies, etc The food is sold at reduced prices that help low income folks. But, they also have a couple of vendors, local farms for beef, lamb, pork, poultry. I saw lamb advertised and wanted to try their product. Prices were similar to our grocery stores.
I picked up a package of lamb ribs - 2 racks $20.00. They were wrapped in butcher paper so I couldn't see what they were like.
I slow roasted the ribs last night with Turkish spices. They did not have a lot of meat, but what there was, nice flavour and tender after 3 hours in foil. Had a couple of stove-top grilled lamb chops to make an actual meat meal for hubby!

Trust me when I say that they are not super similar to real tamales lol.
Yes, meat filling surrounded by masa and each tamale is wrapped in wax paper. And yes, already cooked. You just warm them up.
The one and only time I've ever had canned tamales was on our honeymoon, 58 years ago, in Banff. Guess w didn't care for them as we've never had them since! LOL!
That goose and blueberry bread look amazing!-

A quick supper after a busy day with appointments: Shake'n'Bake Chicken Cavendish fries and peas
Had strip loin steaks thawed, but didn't feel like steak. Sliced and stir-fried with fajita seasonings, veg. Eaten with flour tortillas, fixings and guac.
Leftover beef was used for next day's supper, steamed with Mui Choy, chili flakes, and mint leaves
Had the grands here for the weekend while parents are away to Calif for a "conference". 25 year old grandson was helping out by sleeping over with them at their house. HE eats copious amounts of anything. The girls are picky, but they both love ham and scalloped potatoes, and uncooked vegetables! Banana Cream Pie from scratch as per request, MY Mom's recipe.

We got our latest Covid vaccine last Friday. Based on my past reactions, I figured I wouldn't feel like cooking supper. Brought some packets of joong from the freezer, and that's what was for supper. Good thing as I was very tired and developing flu-like symptoms (body aches)
But I also had a slab of pork belly marinating overnight in the fridge. Thought I'd better cook it up. This was my first attempt, and I don't think I will repeat it again. LOL! Much easier to buy when I am in the city! The flavour was good, but the skin did not blister as anticipated. The slab was pretty fatty. I packed up most of it for my grandson. who loves it!
Didn't do much forCNY, but I did manage Tong Yuen, the savoury kind. I had more dumplings than hubby, who is not a fan. I gave him 3, and some udon noodles. I think I eat this just for the daikon!
Tried a recipe from Jamie Oliver's new book "Veg": Reverse Puff Pastry Pizza. He had posted a video on facebook. I tried it last night and we enjoyed it. Would have liked more puff pastry as the sheets I had on hand were smallish. I pan fried a striploin steak to go with it as hubby is such a carnivor. We enjoyed supper watching the Super Bowl!

I'd be tempted to enlist myself, for such a send-off! Doubt they'd take me, though. 😉
@Smithy Come on up! I'd feed you without your enlisting;-)
Tried a recipe someone shared in my facebook group. It was called Chicken Alfredo Lasagna, except you rolled the filling in lasagna sheets instead of layers. The ready-to-use noodles I bought were not pliable, so I just layered it like the usual lasagna. Not a fan; I will continue to make regular tomato sauce ground beef lasagna, and Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine.
Pork and Shrimp stuffed bell peppers in black bean garlic sauce.

What an interesting recipe. I just bought bananas today so might just give this a try in the morning. It is left uncovered after the flip?
No. Use a plate to help flip the "pancake", then cover and cook another 10 minutes. I checked about half way to see how brown it was.

Something new to try for breakfast: mashed banana mixed with 3 tbsp quick oats and 2 eggs. This batter is poured over a non-stick pan lined with slices of banana. This is cooked for 10 min on med high heat, covered, flipped than another 10 min.It was quite good. Eaten with maple syrup.

This is the best one that is easily available to me:
https://usa.lkk.com/en/products/premium-bouillon-powder-flavored-with-chicken-no-msg-added
It's not very salty - in fact, I usually add MSG and salt when using it.
Thanks! We have many Lee Kum Kee products here, so I will look for it.

I have such an issue when I do edits. LOL!
Thought I'd breakup the photos / meals a bit: Congee with the Fixings ( and a couple pieces of char siu ribs from the freezer), and Durian Crepes for dessert
Grandson has enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He leaves March 1 to some training camp, so I am feeding him all his favourites until then - Lamb chops and Prime rib!
Our Superstore has fresh clams in. Pulled out other odds and ends for seafood, and we had seafood in coconut milk, lemongrass, and kefir leaves for supper.
Had 2 pieces of pickerel fillet left from the seafood the night before: Eaten with roasted cauliflower and sweet tater fries
Temperature was up to +4 C yesterday! I had a fresh chicken, rubbed it with a mix of harissa, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic early in the day. Into the Big Easy for 90 minutes.
Tonight: A & W burgers! 😉

Playing catch up yet again. Picked up chicken breasts and thighs on sale, so I made up a batch of Chicken, Lap Cheung, Shitaki Mushroom filling for baos like the ones my Mom made. Made a dish of steamed same ingredients for supper, along with Yu Choy, and Lily Bulb soup.
As I was channelling my Mom, I also steamed an egg, flour, sugar cake in the +40 year-old basket she handed down to me. My granddaughters love this cake with a glass of ice cold milk.
Our Co-Op had slabs of boneless pork loin on sale for $1.99 / lb. I picked up 2 that had more fat, cut those sections up, and did up another batch of char siu in the Big Easy. The weather has been terrific for cooking.
Vacuum sealed mostof the strips, but did make up another batch of bao filling. Did up 3 doz and sent most out to the kids and friends.
Used some odds and ends for Fun See with Shrimp:

Not just China's secret weapon - it's widely used in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore (and my kitchen!)
What brand do you use?
I have used the Knorr, but have only been using Better Than Bouillon. -

I made the Deviled Duck Hearts recipe again--only it was goose hearts, livers and pressure cooked gizzards
My mom brought wagyu beef patties for us when she visited. I had never had wagyu before. We loved it!
Last day of duck season Ronnie got a few teal so I roasted those.
Found some walleye in the freezer.
SV'd lamb chops
@Shelby: You make such a variety of amazing meals, with quite the variety of proteins. Wonderful to have a hubby who hunts and fish. Thank you!

Brushed Hoisin sauce mixed with 5-spice powder, Chinese cooking wine, and a sprinkle of sugar on strips of pork ribs. Wrapped them in foil and baked in the 400F oven for 60 minutes. Removed foil and brush on more sauce. Baked for another 20 minutes.
Eaten with Jasmine rice and Shanghai Bok Choy

Do you mean the sauce comes with peanuts already in the jar, or you added them yourself? I've never seen laoganma with peanuts nor is that listed on the American website.
By the way, laoganma means 'old godmother', not 'old mother'. The gan means 'dry' so, literally 'old dry mother', dry indicating non-lactating.
I don't read a lot of Chinese, but my kids, who are 1/2 Chinese, have always called it as Lo Mama. I buy this at our little Chinese grocery store, and it's also available at the Chinese supermarket in Winnipeg. It comes with peanuts, as you can see in the bottom of the jar.
