    Breakfast 2019

    Not real pretty, but very tasty! Fage Greek Yogurt with Strawberries, Blue Berries and Flax Meal. I think it would have looked better if the fruit was on top of the flax - next time!

    Dinner 2019

    Garlic Naan, Baked Sweet Potato with Butter, Pork Vindaloo and Green Peas with Water Chestnuts
  17. Pork Vindaloo is on the menu tonight! Pork Butt Roast, about 2 lb., cubed and seasoned with salt and pepper Pork cubes browned in batches in a bit of grapeseed oil, removed from pot; onions browned, then pork added back in. Patak’s simmer sauce added, along with half a jar of water; stirred and set at high pressure for 30 minutes. Will let go for 15 minutes at natural release, then reduce to thicken gravy. Results will be posted on the Dinner Thread!
  18. Lovely fruit!
  19. Yes! Sounds like something I would like to try. Thanks!
  20. Thank you! I have placed an order for their Black Peppercorn Sampler Pack.
  21. Getting down to the nitty gritty! No beef, no poultry, no lamb, no seafood! Determined to use up and refresh all of the proteins. Down to just pork: Tenderloin - out Roast - 1@4 lb Ground - 1@1/2 lb Garlic sausages - 4@2 Breakfast Patties - 2 Pepperoni - 1/3 pkg. Prosciutto Longaniza Pork Butt Meaty Bone - for broth - 2 Hot Italian Sausage - 1@2, 1@3 I know that I will purchase and use other proteins before I use up all of the current stock of pork, but my thoughts are that there is no good reason to just keep this food in the freezer. Either use it or dispose of it! So I am going to use it!

    Dinner 2019

    Hi @Kim Shook It’s more like a chunky guacamole, than a true salsa. Avocado Salsa - 2 ripe avocados - peeled, pitted and diced - 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced - 1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped - 1/4 cup red onion, diced - 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice - 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste Directions: In a bowl, gently stir together all ingredients. Do not mash the avocados. Cover and chill for at least one hour so that flavors can meld.
