Sweet Potato Moussaka - plating definitely needs much more work but this recipe from “essen & trinken” was as good as always. They tend to produce creative dishes on level with upscale restaurants. 

Here you make a few things in parallel to assemble later - roast red and yellow peppers under the grill until black and remove skin to create a nice smoky flavor. Cut sweet potatoes in thin slices and pre-bake in the oven with olive oil. The ragu is made with ground lamb, onions, garlic, tomato passata, thyme, parsley, 5-spice powder and chile flakes. Spinach is quickly sautéed with onions and garlic and squeeze dry. And finally one makes a nutmeg heavy béchamel sauce. Once you assemble everything you top it with a mix of feta, egg yolk and heavy cream before baking it in the oven

Gf pizza with onion, olive and mushroom.  (Also today's breakfast)

 

A drastically out of season "BLT" and corn (BLO for him,  BLOAT- bacon, lettuce, onion,  avocado, tomato for me). He requested BLTs and since I rarely get requests...

and a disappointing gf chicken strip sandwich with tots.  (Needed more stuff on it, I was tired and over it)

In recovery mode from this terrible virus circulating. Coughing was so bad I developed massive bruising on my left groin. 2.5 weeks and finally, getting some rest at nights with Musinex. Had no energy but was still hungry, and still had to feed hubby who doesn't cook 😉 
Breakfast for supper: Buttermilk waffles, eggs, bacon

                                                                      

Sandpot chicken & rice:

 

                                                                                          

Beef, Tomato & Egg stir-fry
 

                                                                           

 

Got more energy back:  Pork Schnitzel & Sweet potato

                                                                            

Picked up a big chunk of beef liver a while back. Had one meal left in the freezer. I cut the slabs 1" thick, marinated in milk, then coated with bread crumbs. It was very tender.

                                                                                

 

       Paella with chorizo, chicken, seafood:

 

                                                                        

 

Leftover Paella augmented with pan-seared scallops. We enjoyed the Lemon Garlic Butter on the scallops.

                                                                      
 

And finally, fresh halibut! Pan seared with the same Lemon Garlic Butter, asparagus, sweet tater fries ( Cavendish), and a couple of pieces of pickled beets.

Chicken Vindaloo. according to the recipe introduction, is a spicy curry dish that was originally a Portuguese dish of spicy pork but you can use any meat you wish. The curry was not a pre-made mix but made from scratch and had a subtle curry flavor, IMHO.  I made banana nut bread for dessert 

[Honkman]

Polenta with Mushrooms and Egg - polenta made with vegetable broth and milk and finished with parmesan and olive oil. King oyster mushrooms and white mushrooms are sautéed with scallions and thyme before finished with some aceto balsamico. Served with a soft boiled egg

[liuzhou]

牛肉炒粉 (niú ròu chǎo fěn), beef fried rice noodles with beansprouts.

@Dejah  You are a rock star to be feeling so horribly and still cooking all that delicious looking food!

 

Tried some grain free lower carb taco shells--not bad tasting but the texture was .....difficult.  When you took a bite it was crunchy for like half a second and then it turned mushy.  Like cereal after you pour milk over--I like it crunchy, not mushy lol.  

 

 

I always check out the big portobello mushroom caps at Dillions.  They are ridiculously expensive but then no one buys them so they put them on sale for like 2 dollars for a package of 3 huge caps.  These I stuffed with a mixture of egg, spinach, seasoning and cheese.

 

 

Salad and SV'd steak to go with.

 

The last of the quail in the freezer.  Ronnie wanted it fried again.  Breakthrough on the gravy front.  I used xanthan gum and made a cream gravy--carb free and it tasted excellent!!!  Mashed cauliflower "potatoes" to go with.
