I am totally open! The only foods I don't like are OKRA and MUSHROOMs.
Pretty much anything else goes.
Also, something that doesn't take 1 hour to cook and has more than 12 ingredients....

Heroin...... :dunno:

It's an option! Only if I'm ready to do a "Leaving Las Vegas" number, but then, I think I'd do like Nick Cage did......
 
Sumer is icumen in. Good time for salads.....

This is a great garBONZI bean salad. Seems appropriate

  • I can black beans
  • 1 can chick peas (garbanzos)
  • 2 tomatoes, diced (~ ¾ cup)
  • 1 chopped white onion
  • 1 clove garlic (actually several)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup vinegar
  • 1 lemon, squeezed
  • ½ cup chopped Italian parsley (<< the lead singer)
  • chopped hot peppers and/or hot sauce to taste
  • Dash of cumin
  • Optional: mint, capers, julienned carrot (for texture), celery top leaves (< good for managing hot weather)

Marinate ~ 1 hour in fridge. Exquisite.
I'm generally not a fan of parsley but it really really works here. Yummmm...


Here's another one I learned working as an au pair boy in France, real simple:

Equal amounts Belgian endive (the bullet shaped thing, cut off the tip an root and dice the rest) along with chunks of golden delicious apple, with chunks of gruyère cheese. Optional: sprinkle some crushed walnut. Dress with a light vinaigrette, or just good ol' olive earl and vinegar.


I have extra virgin on hand at all times

That's always fun. Works up an appetite. :thup:

Pogo - you are soooooooooooo BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

A couple things that I am doing right now- my favorite egg dish is egg on toast with avocado and dark soy sauce- make toast- make a sunnyside egg- smear toast with avocado- put egg on top of avocado- drizzle with dark soy sauce.

I am also cooking with fish sauce- which sounds disgusting but is essential in many Vietnamese and Thai dishes- look up Thai chicken with fish sauce.

Finally- I am into smoked paprika right now- a dish I like is shrimp cooked with smoked paprika- take about a pound of shrimp, no shells, arrange in medium hot frying pan so that they are not crowded- as soon as you put them in, sprinkle with two finally chops garlic cloves, half a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of smoked paprika- after shrimp cooks 1 minute- turn over- cook one more minute- remove shrimp from pan. Add quarter stick butter to pan to deglaze- pour over shrimp.

You said "okra and mushrooms" Did not say anything about Limburger and now I am the bad guy…huh????
 
Stay away from the frozen foods.

Try broccoli, kale, french cut beans, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, garlic, peas. Put it in a wok or big pan and heat with olive oil (not extra virgin, smokes too soon). Fry up some chicken tenders or lean beef. Cook some brown rice. Put the rice on a plate, the veggies and then meat. Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

There are many variations but I do about the same veggies nightly. You can throw some cheese on there, use quinoa instead of rice. Use cottage cheese instead of meat, or crushed nuts. Add guacamole, etc.

Ah yes Kale- love Kale right now. Great veggie- also spinach and swiss chard. Kale and Swiss Chard can be cooked similarly- remove the stalk if they are thick and saute them first- with some garlic- maybe lemon juice- add the leaves- saute until just wilted.

It's a long ride! The last time I was in GA it was off 95 at a TGI Friday's on the way home from Miami.
Tell her hello and I'll be over tomorrow around 5pm :)
 
Oh and Okra- grilled okra- toss okra (small okra works best) with olive oil and balsalmic vinegar, salt and pepper, grill until chard on several sides- eat. Yummy way to enjoy Okra
