Tasty Tuesday!

beanbot2002 · May 2015

Where is everyone??? I rarely start threads, but here goes! Post a recent, or favorite recipe for Tasty Tuesday! It can be anything - drink, meal, desert.

Mainly I want to eat my way through the year. Help me with that... haha

In other news, No-Uh took his first steps yesterday...on Star Wars Day!!!! You can only imagine how much my inner nerd was freaking out about that.

Here is a recent Fish Taco recipe I found that was DELISH!

i made this last week and it was OMG yum: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/06/thai-chicken-and-pineapple-stir-fry.html

i couldnt find the pineapple & sweet chili sauce so i just used sweet chili sauce and it was still amazing!

I recently rediscovered a few marinades that are pretty good-- Caribbean Jerk and Dr. Pepper. Om nom nom.

@beanbot2002 Awww the force is with No-Uh!

Last night I ended up working late, and by the time I got home and made dinner, I was exhausted. FI and I binged on The Office and did a whole lot of nothing. Tonight I'm bound and determined to be more productive-- I need to work out, start laundry, pick up some clutter around the apartment, and make dinner. I will be productive at home!

Also, my poor boss had to put down her 19-year-old cat this morning, one week after burying her mother. She seriously can't catch a break.

I made this last week and it lasted us three days of dinner:

It is NOMS!!!

@beanbot2002 I'm sooo excited that No-Uh took his first steps!!! He is going to be a walking machine now!

jenjen047 · May 2015

@southernpeach89 - that looks delish. unfortunately BF mostly refuses to eat leftovers so i cant make large batches of stuff. what the hell is that about?

beanbot2002 · May 2015

@jenjen047 That looks so good!!!

@ellis1228 that sounds awful! Poor lady!

@southernpeach89 He did it a few more times last night, but only when NOT prompted too haha At one point he was walking around with his phone to his ear talking to, or about, something/someone important. So adorable!

[Deleted User] · May 2015

@jenjen047 I used to not like leftovers either but it totally depends on the food to me. That stinks though. You can still make this though...maybe just in smaller batches and save the extras for you!

beanbot2002 · May 2015

I love slow cooker meals @southernpeach89!! I'll have to try this. I tried quinoa once and was not a fan.

@KeptInStitches Well hey there, OMH! How was the wedding?

[Deleted User] · May 2015

@Beanbot2002 Aw! Well you can definitely take the quinoa out of this and just make it sort of a Mexican style chicken soup? Either way it's very good!

[Deleted User] · May 2015

@TwoDimes yummmmm!!!! 7 layer dip is the best!!

ETA:

I'm stealing @hummingbird125's prerogative on this one. @southernpeach89 and I made this over the weekend and it was AMAZING!!!

Plus the leftovers were the best leftovers ever!

untouchablets · May 2015

Morning!!

I just made an experiment yesterday that turned out GREAT! Chicken meatballs, I just used 1lb chicken, a clove of garlic chopped, as scoop of mayo (i didn't have any eggs) some breadcrumbs and some italian seasoning, mix all together, bake until goldeny, and they're done! I am not the greatest cook in the world so I tried to stay basic but a lot of recipes online put tons of stuff in them like peppers, onions (which I hate!!!) and herbs and stuff.

@all I LOVE leftovers, send me your leftovers!!!

P.S. in Nobody Cares News: From the moment I woke up this morning I have been a ball of crazy fangirl. Taylor Swift started her tour in Japan last night/this morning and after seeing the pics and video clips of her show I will never be more excited for anything ever again. Ever. Not even my future wedding. Maybe.

Swazzle · May 2015

@beanbot2002 - No-Uh is the cutest ever!

This is one of my favorites from SkinnyTaste: Skillet Harissa Turkey Meatloaf. Very easy and so much flavor.

Last night I dropped off my BM dress for @GoldenPenguin's wedding at the tailor. I need it hemmed because I'm wearing flats (my wedding shoes actually!), the sides are being taken in because I've lost weigh apparently, and the straps are being shortened a little bit. I attached a pic at the bottom!

And, I just bought a dress for @hummingbird125's wedding! I'm so excited everything is so soon!!!!

Edited because I cannot spell.

GoldenPenguin · May 2015

I'm making my first crockpot meal today! BBQ pulled pork

I got a pork loin, and it's in the crock pot with a bottle of Dr. Pepper, cooking all day, and when I get home, I'll shred it up & pour in the BBQ sauce. YUMMMMM.

Tonight, FI & I are going to get a window AC unit, because our bedroom is an absolute SAUNA. It will be so nice downstairs, and then as soon as you hit the top of the stairs, it's like hitting a wall. It's supposed to get up to 90 in the next few days, and I cannot sleep if it's hot, so, AC it is!

ETA: My Sisser is GORGEOUS!!!!

Also, @keptinstitches - WHERE IS YOUR WEDDING AW!??!

Swazzle · May 2015

@TwoDimes - It's from ASOS!

GoldenPenguin · May 2015

TwoDimes said:
@goldenpenguin, your pulled pork is going to be sooooo good! I make mine in a similar way (use pork butt or shoulder, and root beer in place of Dr. Pepper) and it's one of my absolute FAVORITE dishes. YUMM.

@swazzle, I love both your dresses! The one for @hummingbird125's wedding is super cute!! Where is it from?

The recipe actually called for root beer, but I couldn't find a single 12 oz bottle (and we don't drink soda very often at home, and when we do, it's never root beer, haha), so I grabbed Dr. Pepper instead!

AlPacina · May 2015

@Swazzle - You're so pretty. *blush*

@KeptInStitches - I'm with everyone else!

Here is a recipe for the best turkey I've ever made!

Put a 3-5 lb boneless turkey roast (calls for only turkey breast, I use a mixed roast) in the crock pot with 1/2 cup orange juice, 14 oz can whole berry cranberry sauce, and one package of onion soup mix. Cook on low 8-9 hours. Make sure that when you serve it you either pour some of the leftover juice on top, or thicken it and use it as gravy.

audrewuh · May 2015

@swazzle - I LOVE that dress!! And yay for alterations!

@keptinstitches - pics or it didn't happen.

Last night, I was forced to try a new way of frying chicken. It's so not healthy, but damn it tasted good. It was my first time using panko bread crumbs, which I mixed with a bit of flour, some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Rolled the chicken in after letting it soak in milk, and then put it in some vegetable oil for a few minutes. So crispy, so yummy.

I also got a meatloaf recipe from a friend, but H insisted on making it and couldn't read the handwriting very well (my friend went over it with me, so I knew what was it said and he wouldn't listen). Anyways, it turned out well enough. @ellis1228 liked it, even though it had mustard. I'm going to try it again using all of the ingredients and see how it turns out.

[Deleted User] · May 2015

@Keptinstitches Are you intentionally ignoring requests to see and hear about updates of your wedding?

AuroraRose41 · May 2015

Hi ladies! I am LOVING all of the recipe ideas! FI and I need to start cooking at home more, especially when we move in a few weeks. I will definitely try a lot of these!

@KeptInStitches I second (or third or fourth or whatever) PP's in that we need a wedding update! I hope you had a lovely day and can't wait to hear all about it!

@swazzle you are so pretty, and I love that pink dress!

This is the most recent thing I cooked about two weeks ago (apart from basic salads and such, which I think you all know how to make), and we still have some frozen leftovers from it. I was feeling Irish

: Guinness Irish Stew

I also made this to go along with it, but FI and I like eating it for breakfast with cream cheese in addition to just dipping it in the stew: Irish Soda Bread ETA: This was gone in about 2 days. I don't make it often because FI and I would eat it all the time, and we are trying to lose weight.

Also, FI and I bought a fridge this weekend! I am so excited for it too! But wow our wallets are hurting after that. At least we will have nice appliances when we buy our own house in the next 2-3 years. Here's a stock picture of it:

labro · May 2015

@AuroraRose41 I made that same Irish Soda Bread recipe for St. Patrick's Day! I used caraway seeds though instead of currents or craisins or whatever. So delicious and easy!!! I can't imagine how good it must be with cream cheese spread on it. Now I might make some more just to try lol.

AuroraRose41 · May 2015

@labro it is the best recipe I have found for soda bread! And I put plain raisins in it, but I plan to try it with caraway seeds sometime!

ETA: How is your vacation planning in Upstate NY going? Did you decide where to go?

speakeasy14 · May 2015

I love all these recipes and want all the food!

@beanbot2002 yay No-Uh!!!

@swazzle both of those dresses are gorgeous!

@keptinstitches

I am going to try this recipe this weekend:

Grilled Salmon on Pineapple Bark

-Cut bark off pineapple

-Season fish with salt & pepper

-Sandwich fish between two bark slices

-tie all together with kitchen twine

-Grill on each side for at least 12 minutes

-Mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar then drizzle on top of fish

AlPacina · May 2015

@speakeasy14 - Let me know how that fish turns out! We have so much salmon, and I have no idea what to do with any of it.

EAT ALL OF IT DUH!!!!

Salmon patties, chopped cold salmon in your salad (I did this the other day!), grill it, bake it in foil with butter and dill and garlic, eat it on a burger bun. Make a salmon hoagie. Sooooo many choices!

Something I've always wanted to try is making smoked salmon. Smoked salmon is SO GOOD!

speakeasy14 · May 2015

@alpacina I will let you know how it turns out. I usually use cedar planks to grill salmon. Or I'll wrap the fillets in foil with slices of lemon and bake it.

Tasty Tuesday!
