Trying to decide whether to make curry chicken or jambalaya tomorrow night.

Yes, it's pretty simple. I use Zatarain's Jambalaya mix, a can of diced Italian-style tomatoes and either ham or sausage -- though last time I used Hot and Spicy Spam.

Made Meatballs, Mac 'n Cheese, and Cowboy Beans, which is various types of beans, bacon, hamburger, and onion. It's very good. I had my birthday party today, so I had a bunch of different goodies (besides the beer) for everyone who came.

My neighbor makes that Cowboy Beans dish and it is really good!

That's the best kind of meal!
I should know cause I eat out half the time. But because I generally have one meal a day it costs about the same as it does for me to cook at home. The supersize portions that many places serve are more than adequate so one meal is all I need.

Roasted root vegetable stew. Just in time for the colder weather.

Egyptian fried rice with green beans, grilled fish & avgolemono sauce.

Only I used chicken andouille sausage this time.

How do you make Egyptian fried rice?



Tonight the daughter went to a birthday party, so I made myself a simple pasta with pine nuts, goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.

I smoked a pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches and my wife made macaroni & cheese in the oven. Kind of a comfort food day!

Wow! That's simple??? The last time I had something like that was at a restaurant where the only thing that loses weight is your wallet!

 

[rue]

Yeah it's simple! It only took me about 20 minutes. You could do it!

Just saute the pine nuts until they're slightly brown in olive oil. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes until they're heated through, put it aside, make your pasta and throw it all together with the cheese.

It's only 4 ingredients VC!

Rue, I learnt this recipe from my mother inlaw. It's very simple, but cooking the rice in olive oil makes the layer of rice at the bottom of the pan brown & crispy. The rest of the rice is fluffy. The secret is to give the rice a good stir in the oil for a few minutes & not to stir the rice after you've added the water. Oh I use chicken stock & not plain water - much nicer.

I think what I meant by simple was a little less exotic fare. The last time I had something with goat cheese was at the restaurant alluded to in previous post.

You should buy some and try it! It's not really expensive and the cheese lasts quite a while
