Dinner Saturday 23rd March 2013

No, it was a "standard" portion. And, I only ate 1/2 of a slice of the bread. Maybe I had too much broccoli. But, I think because the pasta was whole wheat (with spinach and pesto mixed into the dough) and the lasagne was loaded with veggies--grated carrot, tomato chunks, eggplant, zucchini, portabello mushroom slices, ricotta, moz., parm.) it was just very, very filling. Or maybe because I don't eat like that in the evening very often. One of my guests doesn't eat "white" so I had to do 100% wholewheat for the bread and the noodles. It was fun coming up with 100% vegetarian dishes (especially since 2 normally don't eat vegetarian). No one missed the meat in the lasagne.

I don't eat white either. Other than stuff made with white flour and white rice, is there something else white that I'm forgetting (dairy doesn't count)?

 

[buckytom]

fiskeboller, lutefisk?
flounder, monkfish, squid, or any other white fleshed fish?

Not sure why you mentioned lutefisk, but I don't think ANYONE eats that (ha-ha). Fiskeboller I love made with walleye...

I think Tom was mentioning white food one might not want to eat. I didn't mean fish, meat, fruit, or vegis.

I also don't eat blue.

Blueberries???

Blueberries are purple.

Blueberries are purple.

Ok. I was just making sure.

I'm planning to make white chicken chili and cornbread. Maybe a small salad, too.

Chicken chili turned out good, but turned red once I added the salsa. I may need to look for another recipe. Cornbread never has the heat I want. Might add some cayenne next time. But dinner was tasty.

 

[buckytom]

no bluefish or bluefin tuna?

I don't think the part you eat is blue.

I use chicken breasts, shredded, chicken stock, white kidney beans, homemade salsa verde, jalapeno peppers, grated white cheddar (or mexican cheese when I can get it). At the end, I add some fresh lime juice and zest. On the table I put chopped green onions, more jalapeno peppers, avocado, tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, Habanero hot sauce, and other hot sauces. If I know s/one is going to join me who doesn't like hot, I cut back on the jalapeno peppers. I would think if you used salsa verde instead of red salsa, your recipe probably would still work.

I used pretty much the same ingredients and I poached the chicken with a bay leaf and Mexican oregano. You're probably right about the salsa. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks for the tips.
