New Year's Nachos!

I used criminis, cooked enough to release most of the liquid, and then slightly browned before adding the other ingredients. I am nothing if not eclectic in my cooking, I like to mix and match- the potatoes and sauce side is German, a recipe given to me by a friend who grew up in the Black Forest area.

Christmas dinner: Ham slow-cooked with collards, side of cream-cheesy grits.

Mushroom asada, side of roasted potatoes with herbs and garlic and a gravy with dijon mustard, capers, and hard-boiled eggs.

Thank you! A basic pan sauce made from the drippings from roasting the tenderloin, with some mirin added (because that was the only cooking wine I had on hand).

Pork Tenderloin Wellington, with arugula and potato slices roasted i duck fat and then deep fried to crisp them up.

Roasted turkey (of course) spatchcocked and dry brined, with herbed compound butter under the skin, and sage and onion stuffing. Side of mashed potatoes.

Thank you. Coat pear slices in oil, five spice powder, and lemon juice. Grill until a bit soft. Toss in to freshly cooked soba, toss with a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger.

Soba with grilled pears

Thank you! I have made them from scratch before, but the ones at the local food co-op are very good and inexpensive, so sometimes I just buy a couple of them on a whim

Fish cakes with a side of Brussels sprouts with bacon and walnuts

Chicken Chasseur with polenta and rapini on the side

Veggie and tempeh green curry over rice

Sauteed sausages with Swiss chard and gravy, with Yorkshire pudding on the side

Shepherd's pie

Marinated baked tofu with lemongrass over noodles. Side of soy sauce glazed bok choy.

I love hominy as well. Really,they're standard hush puppies (I like the origin stories too), with the standard cornmeal dough, but replace half of that with mashed (but leave it a little chunky) hominy.

ok, that sounds wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
