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

[PumpkinMayCare]

Basically an egg roll filled with spinach, cheese, onions and a sour cream. And a rocket salad with a dressing made out of honey, mustard and distilled vinegar. It was pretty good. But next time I'll put some tomatoes in it and use more cayenne pepper.

Last night's dinner: Morel mushroom, pancetta, and goat cheese pizza with chives on a cauliflower crust. No sauce, just good olive oil and a sprinkling of cracked pepper. Morels were first sauteed in butter with garlic, onion, and a splash of white wine.

This morning I had English muffins with cream cheese, pancetta, and a drizzle of bourbon maple syrup. Wish I had some radish microgreens to round out the flavor profile and texture but I missed last week's farmer's market.

Hoping I find some oyster mushrooms in the woods today so I can continue to explore cooking with foraged goodies.

I've discovered a delicious savory pepper chicken soup. I must not forget it. I bet it would be good with turnips and parsnips @_@

Homemade tom kha thale with foraged oyster mushrooms. Tom kha thale is a creamy spicy and sour Thai soup with seafood (thale) and galangal root (kha). I did not cut any corners with this because I wanted to make something authentic and completely from scratch, which meant that I had to visit my local Hmong grocery store for the most essential ingredients - galangal root and kaffir lime leaves. I also picked up the lemongrass and Thai red chili peppers there since my regular grocery store failed me.

Because I made the broth myself, boiling the above ingredients along with fish sauce, my entire house smelled of fish and hot peppers.
I have asthma, so that was fun.
I also don't think I've ever sneezed so much in my life. Was it worth it? Absolutely, even if only for the experience.

The soup turned out great, and if I'm still here by mid-week, then that means I didn't accidentally poison myself with deadly mushrooms.

I had a mycologist verify that they were in fact oyster mushrooms.

Whole grain oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

1&1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup Splenda (or white sugar- but you can’t taste the Splenda at all- so I prefer that)
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup canola oil
1 medium or large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup 70% dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tbsp melted butter, if cookie dough is super crumbly or the cookies rise too much

These are not healthy cookies. They’re still totally junk food. They just have some fiber, protein & healthy fats added in, but they’re still terribly sugar-laden treats that should be consumed in moderation.

Broccoli, asparagus, and buttered salmon:

Nothing fancy but I had to whip up something fast since the hunger came after me and had to make do.

 

[Grand Admiral Crunch]

I made chocolate-covered oatmeal-honey-peanut butter balls. It's like Reese's PB cups, but with a more interesting texture. I could sell these things.

For breakfast today, I made sourdough eggs in a hole with blistered grape tomatoes in a homemade pesto sauce.

Yes, there are breasts all over my coffee mug.

Talk about a robust cuppa Joe.

Those tomatoes look delicious, despite the whole 'blistered' part.

Are these real culinary terms?! If not, they should be.
