What did you Bake/Cook Today?!?!?! :)

[Lexicon]

Dinner tonight:

Baked salmon fillet, w/a pinch of basil, cayenne pepper & sea salt. Brushed w/a bit of olive oil halfway through.
Side was brown rice, quinoa, & sautéed kale stalks & chopped jalapeño peppers I needed to use up. All mixed together. Added a little salt & pepper. There’s enough left of the side to use tomorrow w/some chicken breast or something.

Dessert is a homemade pineapple juice popsicle.

No. I only got baked...by the sun.

Asian style turkey cutlet made of ground turkey, chopped onions, fresh garlic, Thai ground chili powder, roasted rice powder (not sure this was a necessary addition, will try without next time,) salt and pepper. Surprisingly tasty when cooked in some olive oil. Served it in cooked collard green wraps with turmeric sauerkraut, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. I think the addition of the sweet potatoes balanced the flavors well. Ate similar to a burrito.

Amazing salad that was more a riff than anything. The arugula, raspberry and green grape combo worked so well with citrus rice vinegar and olive oil. I also added green onions but think red onions might work and be really aesthetically pleasing. Really good flavor combo. The shrimp was good but I think may have been treated with sulfites as I felt a bit of a reaction to it. Will try the salad combo next time with either chicken breast or fish.

Made my usual green smoothie. Today I've included the seeds of half a papaya which supposedly help with detoxing.

Sourdough bread is easily in my top 3 favorite foods. It might actually be #1 with a generous smearing of high quality butter.

Papa Murphy's pizza. It's a Tuesday thing.

same! It's always been on my top 10 things I want to accomplish to have my own starter and when it was business as usual I would tell myself some day. When the pandemic first started I committed ( like millions of other people) to making my own. It's been a labour of love ❤️ and honestly I make the best fucking pizza Dough in the WORLD with it. Doesn't matter what flour you use it's bomb.


I named him quarty when he was little and now that he is a bad ass Quarentino

I've wanted to do it for years but I am notoriously awful at getting anything done, or even started. Yes, even and especially something aptly called a "starter". I'm the worst.

I'm attempting a frozen whole chicken in the Instant Pot (which I have only used a couple times). Going to serve with a wild rice blend that I'll throw some frozen organic veggies in along with some fresh garlic and lemon juice. I haven't really cooked in awhile and I wanted something healthy and tasty, but with minimal effort.

Add a tad more water than to the base of the tribbit, the chicken tends to dry, twice with chicken my instapot has been, mysterious as to what it did with the water. and a bit extra you can always make gravy.

Oh bummer... I already started it. There's maybe 9 oz in there.
I did put some oil on the chicken though so the seasoning would stick. Hopefully that helps.

I might have to do this with my leftover rice from yesterday. Throw some beans, cheddar, and maybe chicken in, Mexican spices, and then bitterly regret the whole thing as my children cry about it at the table for an hour straight without even taking a single bite.
