Stuff I've been up to...

By -
Here is a picture of my first pork rib roast. It was nerve-wracking to make because you have to take it out before it's an edible internal temperature and count on it rising 30 degrees during it's resting time.

Thankfully, it turned out juicy and delicious.
This is a picture of the one super huge martini I drank on an empty stomach that may or may not have (yes, it definitely did) contribute to our fight later. I get cranky when I'm hungry.


Here's the wind-up...

This is a gross picture of the pork ribs I cooked in my pressure cooker. I seasoned it with an old bay rub, stuck a bay leaf in the broth, brought it up to pressure and cooked for 12 minutes. Then, I did a natural release, which is when you just turn off the stove and wait for  the pressure button to come down naturally before unlocking the lid and opening. (It continues to cook during the natural release method).

I then transferred the ribs onto a baking pan and broiled and basted with bbq sauce until it looked tasty. It was a huge hit. I know I can make bbq ribs INSIDE in less than 30 minutes! I wanted to take pictures of the whole process, but got too hungry.

    if you make the ribs, don't forget to line the baking sheet and spray it before you broil the ribs. the bbq sauce can get quite messy. good eating, joy

Quinoa Pilaf 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped or 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 cups quinoa 4 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon parsley flakes In large fry pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and quinoa. Saute until the quinoa starts to brown and the onion becomes clear. Add chicken broth and parsley flakes and bring to a slight boil. Cover and reduce heat. Cook for 12 minutes, covered, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, recover and allow to steam for another 10 – 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve. This recipe is from Goodcheapeats.com a great resource for once a month freezer cooking and menu planning Mondays. Also, I added chopped carrots to the recipe when sauteeing the onion and quinoa just to add a little color to the dish and to get some veggies in. Recipe from: www.goodcheapeats.com

WEDDING SOUP 2 boneless chicken breasts 2 large cans college inn chicken broth 1 pkg. chopped spinach (thawed & drained) 3 cups water 1 carrot 2 eggs 1/3 cup parmesan cheese Bring water boil; add chicken. Grate carrot into boiling water. After 10-15 minutes remove chicken. Cool, then dice. Add College Inn broth; bring to a boil and reduce heat. Beat 2 eggs, add Parmesan cheese to eggs and blend. Drop egg mixture into broth, stirring through with fork. Add drained spinach, meatballs, diced chicken. Simmer for 15 minutes Of course you can make your own chicken stock, but I just used the canned broth but I did use the lowfat, low sodium one. Also, the drier you get the spinach the less green the soup broth gets. MEATBALLS 1/2 lb. ground beef 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs 1 egg (blend above and roll into dime size meatballs) I cooked my meatballs before putting them into soup

Chicken Carbonara Alfredo with Broccoli

By -
I roasted a whole chicken a few nights ago. I stuffed a couple of lemons and garlic cloves up it's bum and rubbed it with poultry seasoning. I made giblet gravy with the giblits, liver and a few hard boiled eggs too. The gravy was my favorite part. I shredded the leftover chicken tonite and used the creamy alfredo sauce packet that was in my cabinet. I threw in some bacon crumbles I keep in my freezer and some sliced mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I boiled some broccoli florets (on sale @ giant eagle) in the same sauce pan I later threw in some angel hair pasta. Dinner was made in less than 15 minutes!!! and cheap. So cheap.
