Day 2: 40 days of Blogging for Lent - You're excited now, aren't you?

Day 2: March 2nd, Thursday 

Meals:
Breakfast: Homemade Granola (I have to perfect this recipe. So far it gets soggy though, have to work on this one. )
Lunch: Since the workplace is in a town hit with bad water, and I remembered that on my way out of the subdivision, I stopped at Tim Horton's and got a raisin bagel with cream cheese. So that was lunch.
Dinner:  Teriyaki pork and Rice. 

Exercise:
Funeral day.  And super cold out. So I'm taking a day off. 

Today's' recipe: 
Teriyaki Pork

I'm starving so pretty much anything is going to smell good, but Man! I have to tell you, this marinade is AMAZING! Soy sauce, sherry (I substituted white wine), brown sugar, rice vinegar, oil, garlic, and ginger. I forgot the red pepper flake. OOps. Total yum.

Meanwhile I started water for Jasmine rice. I haven't broken out the rice cooker yet, so I got some Jasmine in bags by Minute Rice, goes faster. It's a weekday after all.

The "go to" cooking method for me is baking on a baking sheet with a piece of parchment over it. I use the pull out sheets that pull out kind of like Kleenex. Kinda love that.

So you take a pork loin and put it in the marinade for a half hour to 8 hours. I never remember to do that ahead of time so I opted for half hour. I may need to gnaw on my arm. Hungry.

Once I'm done with the marinade, I shake the pork so the marinade isn't too much, causing it to burn the chop.

Bake in a 350 oven for 20 minutes.

Smells amazing.
I used the rest of the marinade as a sauce by simmering it. (After all it had raw pork in it).
Added that to the top of the rice and pork and served it with green beans. Really good.

Go try it!

Love,
Vicky AKA the Clumsy Chef

COVID-19 Virus Shutdown, Day 53

Before breakfast, I punched down the sourdough that was now more than doubled. Then I pushed it into a wide flat shape and rolled it up, tucking it into a loaf pan. I let it sit until after the lunch time baking was done. For lunch we made khachapuri. This was my friend's recipe I mentioned earlier. Since my stand mixer was in the dishwasher I used the breadmaker to mix the dough. When it was ready I asked if the kids wanted one of the dough balls to make their own. Here is what each of us did. Son made cheeseless pizza (upper left) I made cheese with butter and green onions (bottom right) This one will get the egg The one on the left is cheese and butter only The one on the right is cheese and brown sugar (it kept unfolding!) Daughter did something even more different, she made what could be described as a brown sugar cinnamon calzone I couldn't get a photo of the pizza one baked because son grabbed and ate it before I had a chance to snap one.

Day 10: 40 Days of Lent: Cookie Brownies and Double Chocolate muffins!

Image
Chocolate is my addiction, I must admit. Especially when it's warm. I think about it, dream about it, bake it, make candy with it, eat it after lunch or dinner nearly every day. So when i think about birthday cakes or even the charity I bake for, I'm always looking to make chocolate-something. Or when its Saturday and I have some time on my hands. I think about it then too. :) This week, I had been cruising around the internet, and my sister in law mentioned that it was time for Chocolate muffins. I agreed. I felt tired and turned off the computer. Then, my mind started ticking away. I had recipes, lots of them. I would bet among all those recipes I had a recipe for Chocolate muffins. Hmm. I really wanted some warm chocolate. So I opened up my computer again and got out my recipes. Ooh this one sounded good. They had chocolate chips even! The mix was pretty simple and it turned out much more chocolately than I expected. (That's a word, right?) It was the pe

COVID-19 Virus, Day 138

I haven't had much to say lately.  I'm diving deep into why I eat more than I should. I'm taking this online course through Daily OM to learn how to communicate better. You know, once I have something to say.  I bought a shirt that says "Warning Starving Dieter May Bite If Provoked".  I'm taking my martial arts classes, getting into the groove of that.  This week I made tacos.  This is how I do it.  From the top: Paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt on a pound of hamburger.  Chop and cook. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, tomatoes, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and lettuce. Sometimes guacamole.  But you gotta get the restaurant style white tortilla chips. Heaven! Today I made chicken and dumplings by request.  First you par cook the chicken.  Which just means cook it til brown on the outside in butter in a pot.  Then I took these out and added chopped onion, celery (out of my garden!) and carrot.  This is mire poix.  Add the c
