Oh MY! Beautiful tenderloin! And I like the idea of individual casseroles. I have 3 oval ones but can't seem to find them. Have a good reason now to go searching.

No Pasta Mac'n' Cheese is indeed made with cauliflower. I chopped up a head of cauliflower, sprinkle on a couple TBSP of water, cover and nuke until soft but not mushy - usually 8 - 10 minutes with a stir after 8 minutes. Mix in 3 tbsp cream cheese, a splash of cream, 1 tbsp of mustard of choice ( I use whole grain), and 1 cup of shredded cheese. I had shredded Swiss to use up. Had 3 slices of sharp cheddar left in a package so put those on top. Bake at 350 until bubbly - 25 - 30 minutes. There are lots of recipes out there but I found this was super easy. Tonight, I made low-carb BBQ sauce on slow roast pork side ribs. Roasted a head of green cauliflower, and sauteed a couple of bell peppers with a few leftover mushrooms and Spanish onion. Great to see you posting again, Ann_T!

Roasted patchcock chicken seasoned with Paprika Lemon and Lime Spice Blend, No Pasta Mac'n'Cheese, steamed buttered green beans with lemon pepper. Easy meal when I am busy marking midterm exams. Made a few more cheese chips to snack on after instead of Halloween treats

Stopped in at Safeway for flowers and saw 2 packets of seasoned ground lamb reduced by 50%! I had started the intended supper of Malaysian Beef Curry too late for tonight so was happy to be able to switch gears. Shepherd's pie with mixed field greens salad.

YES! Except we only get frozen durian here and they have not been great the last 2 times...

Was busy collating midterm exams yesterday, but I had ground chuck ready to make meatballs for supper. Having the Harissa Spice Blend on hand now, thought I'd try the Low-Carb Moroccan Meatballs recipe I found. Need to make more of the sauce for the remaining 12 meatballs! Eaten with spaghetti squash and wilted spinach. Added buttered beets to hubby's as he's not a spinach fan. The clumpiness of the sauce came from the meat juice residue on the bottom of the pan in which the meatballs were cooked in the oven. Didn't want to waste it, but it affected the appearance.

Must try this Korean BBQ chicken in the Big Easy while the weather holds...

Your history made this "taste" even better!

Glad you found a stash as well! We don't have a Home Sense in my small city but there is one about 3 hours way. Then I got a msg from a friend in Niagara-on-the-Lake and he said he can send me any spice, even in 1 kg bags. That's what happens when one lives close to Toronto. However, I can get fresh green peppercorns and he has yet to find them. I haven't tried green curry powder. Would that be the same as the Thai green curry paste? Guess I'll have to make another trip to Winners! We were babysitting granddaughters yesterday until 5 pm. Put in one of those $4.77 / lb AAA prime rib roasts, some baby taters, and a bag of "baby carrots", and their daddy, big brother and his gf joined us for supper. Had to shoo them all out the door with ice-cream bars as take-home desserts as we had tickets for a concert at 7:30....

A colleague's hubby brought me a small sample of Ethiopian Berbere Spice blend, and I really enjoyed it, on meat, on vegetables, etc. The sampler was running low, but while at Winners today, I saw they had a new supple of spices, and THERE they were: Ethiopian Berbere, Moroccan Harissa, Roast Garlic, and Toast Sesasme and Ginger Blend! I picked several up. Tonight, I used the Berbere on pork chops (slathered with mayo and breaded with 0-carb crumbs I made) I also had a package of pork button bones, so I rubbed those with berbere and broiled. Cumin, brown mustard seed cumin rice and peas went well with the spices.

Chicken thighs seared then finished in the oven. Mushroom sauce with Parmesan cheese and cream. Spinach wilted in pan juices from the chicken. Hubby had single serving Minute Rice and I had gluten-free low-carb black bean spaghetti. His looked prettier.

This is what happens when AWOL from egullet...missed all the chatter about Instant Pot! I've been thinking about pressure cookers, so this might do the trick - multi-purpose!

Great to see you again, spaghettti!

I was rushed preparing supper tonight as I babysit every Tues while d-i-l takes an on-line course. Tonight was an hour earlier as the son and d-i-l had a meeting. Fried up Italian sausages, mashed cauliflower, beets from last night, and had cauliflower florets roasting in the 400F oven. Realized I was running short on time, I packed up my food to eat at the kids...and forgot about cauliflower the oven... Glad hubby was home...The house didn't burn to the ground and hubby didn't die from smoke inhalation. The cauliflower was definitely dead...black, and so was the pan. House still smells smoky even after I boiled vinegar for a long spell... Thus...no picture of supper tonight

Will be doing a belated Thanksgiving turkey in a couple of weeks when the kids can all come home! Will probably make naan again...slippery slope on the low-carb way of eating.

Sartoric's Indonesian Roast Pork Belly has been on my mind since he posted... I didn't have pork belly in the freezer, just a slab of pork loin? I adapted a Malaysian Fried Chicken marinade and rubbed it on the pork, left it for 4 hours, then roasted at 400F for 1.1/2 hours. The fat on top had charred bits and translucent...The flavour was great. That'll have to do until I gets me some pork belly! I also made cheese chips, a snack recommended on a low-carb group I belong to. They are fabulous and easy to do in the microwave.

You need a Charbroil Big Easy. Does a great job, at least, on Chinese BBQ duck. The skin is crispy and beautiful mahogany colour.

Thank you!

REALLY want some of this... And that oriental shank with pomegranate juice. Ninagluck: Did you use a concentrate? I need some variety with lamb shanks...

Fish 'n' chips night: Beer battered pickerel, and fries made with Russian Blue and AmaRosa potatoes Eaten with buttered peas (wishing we had mushy peas), malt vinegar and Heinz Spicy Ketsup

Lots of fall work getting done today - sunny but windy. Tomorrow has rain in the forecast. Threw a rack of lamb coated with whole grain mustard and fresh rosemary into the oven. Closer to supper time, made nasi lemak with fresh Kafir lime leaves and lemongrass. Steamed green beans in the microwave, drained and sauteed them in the lamb dripping. Full and lazy after supper at 8 pm...

WOW! That's more than what I paid for prime rib last week! These blade roasts were an amazing sale, again from our Real Canadian Superstore. I stockpiled, cut into chunks and used my FoodSaver. So far, I've had great Beef Bourguignon, an old fashioned beef stew. Still 2 cut-up roasts in the freezer. I kept any trimmings, silver skin, etc separate and will do a Red -Braised beef soon... Really wanted clams tonight and knew the shipments come in Thursdays. Picked up 2 lbs and did up a Coconut Red Curry Ginger-infused Clams for apps. There was a lot of sauce, so I dumped it into the Malaysian Curry Beef we had last night. The combined flavours made for a better curry tonight. Eaten with a pile of stir-fried Bok Choy. Hubby had jasmine rice also.

Had browned up chunks of the blade roast I picked up at $2.77 / lb. Made Low-carb Malaysian Curry Beef in the slow cooker. The spices in coconut milk smelled wonderful, but the flavour wasn't as intense as I had hoped. There was a nice bite tho'. Still have enough for tomorrow's meal, so here's hoping the taste will be elevated. I cooked potatoes and carrots separately for hubby. For me, I had thrown in chunks of celery.

Gosh! Pretty soon they'll be giving the roasts out free! ElainaA That soup looks wonderful for this time of the year, especially with biscuits...

Just dug down into the freezer and the other two are cap off...why? I have no idea...depended on who was cutting and packaging? There was no indication on the flyer...just that it was prime rib, but the sign on the cooler and packaging said AAA Whatever, they were a great deal for very good roasts.
