Friday, 7/10/20, what's on your plate?

[medtran49]

Crawfish etouffe balls with Chipotle ranch and remoulade sauces. We decided we liked the remoulade sauce with them the best.

Not for dinner, but lunch - I made my first guacamole of the year, using fresh tomatoes and chiles from the garden! I went into the kitchen, and the rain gauge meter was at 1.80, and when I finished making the guac, maybe 20 minutes later, it was up to 2.40 - it's coming down that fast!

That guac is delicious, as always, and I put one of those pointed peppers I picked, that definitely isn't a jalapeño. No jalapeño flavor or aroma; maybe an immature fresno, but the guac had no heat whatsoever, using the whole pepper. I'll leave the rest of those on the plants to ripen, and see if that's what it is. I've always used fresnos ripe, so I don't know if it's one of those stays mild until the very end.

Leftovers from yesterday's Indian resto delivery. That food is soooo good.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

I'm about ready to assemble and bake naan bread pizzas.

 

[Whiskadoodle]

We baked a quiche lorraine and salad with dijon vinaigrette. Not sure where the store is getting tomatoes right now, none are ripe locally. Today's order is actually pretty flavorful. SO made the pie crust which I think is the hardest part of the meal to put together.

 

[skilletlicker]

Baked Chicken w/ Burned Basil, String Beans, and Butternut Squash

Coming off a big calorie deficit with more protein than I've ever eaten.

Ending a diet may turn out to be a bigger adjustment than starting one.

Veggie pizza.

I just love a a classic Quiche Lorraine Whiska...I wish I could share some of our fantastic home grown tomatoes with you.


I did my classic chicken salad from scratch tonight rather than the shortcut way leftover chicken. It just doesn't get better than this, if I do say so myself. This is the slightly revised addition I posted here several years ago.



My Company Chicken Salad ..(revised)

3 large chicken breast halves with skin on, bone in.
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 cup bias cut celery
4 bias cut green onions (some green)
1 cup frozen peas, rinsed in warm water to defrost
2 cups seedless red grapes, cut in half
1 cup of sliced or slivered almonds, pecans or sunflower seeds work too.
Dressing~~
3/4 cup Best Foods Mayo (Hellman's)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 Tbs. Chicken bullion granules or mashed BBB chicken paste.
1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper (6 or 7 grinds)
1/2 tsp. Accent
1 Tbs. of Singapore Seasoning, or to taste. It's wonderful.
Juice of 1 lime (if you have it)


The most important part of this recipe is the preparation of the chicken.
Sprinkle the breasts liberally with Lawry's Seasoned salt, and convection roast on a broiler pan at 425 degrees till tested at 145 degrees. Allow them to cool. Finger shred (important) the chicken meat, along with the crispy skin and discard the bones or save for stock. Combine with the rest of the ingredients and toss with the dressing. This is even better done ahead and served the next day.

1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper (6 or 7 grinds)
1/2 tsp. Accent
1 Tbs. of Singapore Seasoning, (or more) to taste. It's wonderful. From (My Spice Sage) look to see the ingredients.
Juice of 1 lime (if you have it)


The most important part of this recipe is the preparation of the chicken.
Sprinkle the breasts liberally with Lawry's Seasoned salt, and convection roast on a broiler pan at 425 degrees till a breast is tested at 145 degrees with a remote or instant thermometer Allow them to cool. Finger shred (important) the chicken meat, along with the crispy skin and discard the bones or save for stock. Combine with the rest of the ingredients and toss with the dressing and chill well. Serve on plates surrounded by small hearts of Romaine spears. They are great for scooping the salad.

This is even better done ahead and served the next day after everyone gets to know each other.

Oh my gosh, I meant to tell you that I made your chicken salad and it was AMAZING. Thanks so much for the recipe. I will definitely make it again soon. I not only had it on my favorite bread (Brownberry Oatnut) as a sandwich, but it was fabulous on a bed of lettuce as well.

The absolute best chicken salad I've ever eaten in my life.

Thank YOU for the amazing recipe. I already love chicken salad with grapes, but the peas and the almonds helped to make it even more special.

Wonderful stuff.

PS - I used honey roasted sliced almonds.

Oh boy, I love the honey roasted sliced almonds from Trader Joe's.....terrific on top of Asian dishes also, that is if I can keep from snacking on them.
