Red Lentils do make a wonderfully smooth sauce & so healthy! I used bow tie pasta, but you can use linguine or any kind of pasta for that matter. I left the red onions raw and it gave this delicious crunchy fresh taste. Served it with a steak tenderloin! <br />

Love it any way it can be fixed. So, I had some left over from grilling salmon the other night and I wanted to have it on my fav triscuits - Fire Roasted Tomato! YUM! Wanted it to be similar to Tuna Salad. . . Here are the results:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used to get this salad when we lived in S FL with a Lemon Pommery dressing, it was the best dressing I ever had on a chicken salad. But the owner would not give me the recipe (bummer). So this lemon Mustard dressing is pretty close to it. It is really good on a Baby Spinach salad and really made this salmon taste amazing!</span></div>The Lost Art of Cookinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13806631553807887496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089402704906059579.post-3698172362268809222012-01-30T13:12:00.000-05:002012-01-30T13:12:58.760-05:00Roasted Pork & Udon Noodles<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We found out how much we loved Udon Noodle when we ate at Noodles & Co a while back. They are also called Pad Thai. So, fortunately I found Udon Noodles (see picture below) at the grocery store in the produce section, weirdly enough. This recipe seems complicated but goes together very easy and quick.<br />
<br />
Here is the recipe I came up with Roasted Pork & Udon Noodles<br />

I guess it is comfort food. So tonight I made Baked Oatmeal with Strawberries/Bananas and then baked some bacon on my stone to go with it. Pictured is a doubled recipe so I can put some up for us to take & heat up for breakfast or mid morning snack.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this recipe on Pinterest & just had to try it. Of course you know me I did make a few modifications & I will make even more changes the next time (mainly adding more kinds of fruit). The great part of this recipe is you can make so many different variations - Peaches, Apples & Cinnamon or all Berries. So have fun with this one. </span><br />

In the past I have always used my crockpot to slow cook it, but always felt it was missing something. So here is alternative to crockpotting that will give you that oven roasted crispness on the top and very tender! And if your oven has a cook time you can set it to auto turn off. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wyjkndwLIYNUUwgCP02tEVVB4Gxkvtq4MJoC8b0uwTXmGzaR7LM8rSxTTl-goZUj7X8Nxd-pYykhfNWB-jw0ttqGFQoADg5f5xBbS2FkF56k0naw1yMcrLtuuMp41S6aBTDRRCxyE5A/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wyjkndwLIYNUUwgCP02tEVVB4Gxkvtq4MJoC8b0uwTXmGzaR7LM8rSxTTl-goZUj7X8Nxd-pYykhfNWB-jw0ttqGFQoADg5f5xBbS2FkF56k0naw1yMcrLtuuMp41S6aBTDRRCxyE5A/s320/022.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This idea came to me after using this Pork Tenderloin recipe. Which by the way is amazing as well.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXnBTllkA89jpYFEoJbWlbvuvUk0fi-54tEaP2mFulvbNnYqcf__HNwFJUYKoMm3OIjxiROjol4xB2lu3SpEzy-Gwb9-2zYvYnDqCA5kYp-pN4oXxziHExKRfQlquiuS3lYxz2_aTT9g/s1600/roasted+Pork+Tenderloin.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXnBTllkA89jpYFEoJbWlbvuvUk0fi-54tEaP2mFulvbNnYqcf__HNwFJUYKoMm3OIjxiROjol4xB2lu3SpEzy-Gwb9-2zYvYnDqCA5kYp-pN4oXxziHExKRfQlquiuS3lYxz2_aTT9g/s400/roasted+Pork+Tenderloin.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here are the modifications for a roast. . .You will follow this recipe but add some cooking time on the end (I seasoned the roast with Garlic Powder & seasoned salt on both sides before browning in the skillet). Slow roasting time will depend on the size of your roast. The roast pictured was very thin so it was much shorter time. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">After roasting in the ovenproof skillet @ 400 for 10 minutes, flip your roast and turn the temp down to 275 & let it slow roast: the roast above was about an inch thick 1 1/2 hours was perfect. The roast I cooked the other day was 3 inches thick and it was 3 1/2 hours (turning it halfway through). </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">For this meal I added some frozen red potatoes that were quartered seasoned with Olive Oil & Parmesean; I added them to the pot 25 minutes prior to the roast being done. I put them under the roast and they soaked up all those wonderful drippings from the roast. You can also add veggies for a healthier meal. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">This meat will literally cut with a fork. Very tender! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Be careful with the skillet after coming out of the oven! I have burn markes where I forgot it had been in the oven & grabbed the handle! OUCH!! ;)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>The Lost Art of Cookinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13806631553807887496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089402704906059579.post-65308677253280257672012-01-17T12:04:00.001-05:002012-01-17T12:06:19.460-05:00Cookie Basics 101<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ever wonder what makes cookies turn out the way they do? I was an instructor at a children's cooking school a few years back and one of our month's curriculum was on just that, Cookie basics. It was actually one of the most fun classes I taught especially with my 5&6 yr old class. We went through the first 3 weeks focusing on each part of what makes a cookie a cookie. Then the 4th week they had to create their own recipe using this method. Can I tell you they were delicious cookies!</span><br />

This is such a wonderful side dish! And it's pretty healthy. You can omit the half & half and sour cream in exchange for plain yogurt or just add part of the juice from the canned tomatoes instead it just won't be creamy. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">OK so I have once again cleared cabinets & fridge of all the sweets made over the holidays. Seems to have been an annual thing for us. So this year can we do it different? My sister-in-law inspired me to loose 50 before age 50! She is almost there for both, and I must say she looks FAB! </span><br />
<br />

Seems like Healthy = no taste, but I know this is not true. . .I have been a fan of the SouthBeach diet & it really opened my eyes to the healthy alternatives. . .now if I can just stick to it! I love bread and seems most diets delete bread. SouthBeach you can have whole grain bread & of course my fav sourdough. It is such a doable life change of eating. . .so here we go with "50 before 50" at least I have a year & a couple months! Maybe I can do 50 before the Hubs turns 50 in May! If you don't set goals, you will never try for them! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I think when you "diet" you deprive yourself & then binge. So healthy eating & getting active needs to be a change in complete lifestyle. I've been very successful with SouthBeach at times, but again it is the "Sticking to it" that I fail at miserably. Going to try it again!!</span><br />

I will be posting a couple times a week, more if I can, but hopefully I will have a job this month! So, my goal will be twice a week. Thanks for joining me in this journey! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">What are some goals you are setting? (I'm not into resolutions, but I guess that is the same thing LOL!)</span><br />

Normally I get a spiral cut, this year to save some money I just bought a bone in smoked ham butt. It was so good. I have always heard soup from a Ham bone is amazing. If you know me by now, I had to try it. We were not disappointed. The broth you get from boiling it is very tasty and useful for many different recipes.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6CE1iUG7HIQtAv-Spp_6MZCSwdiNZdHOqdLqdAC6GcMHLCRarG-ZP88dspdTf0uxn2XVRetdmemdFTD0uxzrUCx6aDJdlRaK1Rv56klCm_FK8EYJP7M6zoWjMNb35qoyUrElLau3Vs4s/s1600/DSC_3898.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6CE1iUG7HIQtAv-Spp_6MZCSwdiNZdHOqdLqdAC6GcMHLCRarG-ZP88dspdTf0uxn2XVRetdmemdFTD0uxzrUCx6aDJdlRaK1Rv56klCm_FK8EYJP7M6zoWjMNb35qoyUrElLau3Vs4s/s320/DSC_3898.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So off I went to find a great recipe. I am really liking <a href="http://www.allrecipes.com/">www.allrecipes.com</a> AND they have an app for my phone. Found a few recipes and settled on one, but in the midst of making it, decided to <em>not </em>add the tomatoes it called for & changed the spices a bit. So, below is my modified version of Lentil & Ham Soup. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iGb2RwqI8fyhqux4OhobAQNwVv3MCHYpSCVWFiowvYkOD3irzDmU2jp8y-nB0pGNCusjaLkwdymGkjauZo2g4i7azVh6wYd56ssFMnfY8YTfk0IOqbp7Ao7gsCL4ekg6J-mmubYt_2w/s1600/DSC_3902.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iGb2RwqI8fyhqux4OhobAQNwVv3MCHYpSCVWFiowvYkOD3irzDmU2jp8y-nB0pGNCusjaLkwdymGkjauZo2g4i7azVh6wYd56ssFMnfY8YTfk0IOqbp7Ao7gsCL4ekg6J-mmubYt_2w/s320/DSC_3902.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lentils are a wonderful dried bean & source of protein, you don't have to soak them and they cook very fast. If you are not a fan of beans, this is a great one to try as it does not have as much of the bean texture. </span><br />

Now that I live up north you need soup to warm your bones! I'm such a spoiled FL girl. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've worn out the two recipes I've been using - chili - chicken & wild rice. So here is my newest recipe. . . Tuscan Vegetable Beef Soup!!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBvQtDyplELmgfXNxNVsb00PQ3xw8Qu2TysfdSPMlaIGtkx7KZ6jogHkUeBcQWXkWqv1j3o80WxPpwaEc7inXkSYIdw00Oa4UhfmCZ5AIgeb4FujIN-7hGEtomo7pIO49evze5gESywp0/s1600/tuscan+vegetable+beef+soup.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBvQtDyplELmgfXNxNVsb00PQ3xw8Qu2TysfdSPMlaIGtkx7KZ6jogHkUeBcQWXkWqv1j3o80WxPpwaEc7inXkSYIdw00Oa4UhfmCZ5AIgeb4FujIN-7hGEtomo7pIO49evze5gESywp0/s320/tuscan+vegetable+beef+soup.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Try substituting chicken or smoked sausage for the beef to give more variety to your dish. I wanted to use a smaller pasta than bow tie, but that is what I had. Next time I will use a smaller pasta. Barilla makes a mini version of several kinds of pasta called Piccolini. . . <a href="http://www.barillaus.com/Pages/Products-Landing.aspx">http://www.barillaus.com/Pages/Products-Landing.aspx</a></span><br />

This Veggie Bake was so delicious & easy it will become a regular side dish. You can cut the veggies to whatever size you like, I prefer them kind of bite size, so I pretty much quartered it if I had to cut it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsVwixWlfDGlO65sFlOW-4zgxSCjsc4viDwCQVzvvwx97jziRdd4izWNUZcLVocZKfJdEdQgttUhi98oRx24zoXnAkB6BtMhTkVe7JMp7DzPzEYYExkv2FhWPYLkYwCqqWps-RLBEMCFY/s1600/veggie+bake.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsVwixWlfDGlO65sFlOW-4zgxSCjsc4viDwCQVzvvwx97jziRdd4izWNUZcLVocZKfJdEdQgttUhi98oRx24zoXnAkB6BtMhTkVe7JMp7DzPzEYYExkv2FhWPYLkYwCqqWps-RLBEMCFY/s400/veggie+bake.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The great thing about this recipe is you can make it your own with the veggies your family likes. Or change it up here & there. The Thyme seasoning is what really brings this dish together! I hardly ever used it before, but it is fantastic with vegetables. </span><br />

Use the recipe in the previous post adding 1/2 cup flour. Then using a cookie scoop for 'uniformness' Scoop onto a cookie sheet, bake for 9-11 minutes. let cool completely and then use this frosting recipe below (or buy some from the store) put a spoonful of frosting on the bottom side of one brownie/cookie and twist press the other cookie to evenly distribute frosting between the brownies. *</span><br />

It is called a torte, but it will work for brownies, it is just a different pan you bake it in. For the holidays I added Andes mint baking chips, what a wonderful taste it gave to the brownies.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This recipe calls for wax paper - you only need it or foil if you are making the Torte as it is in a spring form pan. I used foil as I did not have wax paper and it turned out fine. As a torte you can add delicious toppings to it for a more elegant dessert such as sweetened berries & whipped cream, I have even put a layer of no bake cheesecake on top with canned cherries over that, talk about yum!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you do not have any spring form pans, I encourage you to get a set. They are so handy, I use them for my pies instead of a traditional pie pan. Never been a fan of the thick pie crust, and this makes it more like a torte and the crust does not get over done.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The possibilities are endless. In searching I have found some really great looking recipes I am adding to our meal this year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This may just be a year round keeper as we love egg salad & avocados. I think I will modify for Christmas dinner in the form of deviled eggs! We get tired of boring deviled eggs, but how great to mince avocado lemon juice & red onions in with your normal egg mixture! Then fill your egg whites. I think it will be really pretty as well! </span><br />

I don't normally buy the magazines at the grocery checkout. But yesterday I was waiting in line and this one caught my eye! So after glancing through it I bought it. You can never have too many recipes!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a list of some of their baking products inside the first couple pages. Did you know that Hershey makes 'cinnamon chips'? (like chocolate chips only cinnamon) I had no idea. I really love their butterscotch chips, the flavor is a bit more 'buttery' than other brands and they are a bit cheaper. (check out the website <a href="http://www.hersheyskitchens.com/">www.hersheyskitchens.com</a> ) This will be one to bookmark!</span><br />

The best thing is that you can make several of these (some are super easy) and give them as gifts to friends & family! I don't know too many people that don't love getting homemade goodies during the holidays (at anytime for that matter). Like this one below Cookie Pops! You can get your kids involved in this one. </span><br />

This recipe was made for us at a friends house when we lived in Ft. Myers in the early 90's. We fell in love with this dish and have been making it ever since. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Such a versatile and guest friendly recipe. You control the heat for each separate piece of chicken! Have company coming that doesn't like spice? put the topping on their chicken before you add the jalapenos. . .taste is a bit different but still delicious!</span><br />
