What do you like to make??

Here's a couple of vegetarian things (pizza & chinese lo mein) that I recently made....

Don't they look yummy???

Please share things/recipes that you like to make??

Have a peaceful evening!

This is what I made for breakfast because I wanted to ride for a couple hours and needed something substantial.

Cook two cups of farfale pasta (11 minutes), drain but don't rinse

Toss with shredded parmesan cheese- as much as you want

Add sun-dried tomatoes and capers to taste

I also ate this for breakfast the day of that last horrible hilly 200k I did...

Beautiful presentation Denise! I love to bake, but cooking the quicker the better.

I'm craving cold veggie pizza, the kind with cream cheese, now, for some reason...

Since it's a bajillion degrees and really humid here right now, I don't like cooking anything!!! I have protein shakes everyday. 1 scoop of whey protein, 1 cup of non-fat milk, 1/2 frozen banana and a handful of frozen strawberries...blended to perfection! :D

Your food looks delicious. Wanna bring some over here? ;)

I'm making 20 garlic chicken tomorrow- put it together tonight so all I have to do in the morning is plug in the crock pot.

Slice up an onion, put the slices on the bottom of the crockpot.

Rub 1 huge 3-4#) chicken with a paste of paprika, pepper, salt, olive oil, place in crockpot breast-side up.

Hide 20 cloves of garlic in and about the chicken.

Cover and cook on low at least seven hours.

Before serving, prepare four servings of instant mashed potatoes.

Remove chicken, garlic and onions with slotted spoon. (It will be falling apart).

Mash four cloves of garlic and mix into the mashed potatoes.

Reserve the other garlic cloves to spread on bread or vegetables.

Okay, I just made some yummy wraps that didn't require me to turn on the stove or oven :)

Grilled chicken, diced cucumber, avocado, salt, pepper and a touch of Santorini reduced fat Greek dressing from Trader Joe's in a whole wheat tortilla. Yum!

It's 96 here, but only 87 in my house! I guess beef stew wasn't the best choice for tonight...

Please remember when I whine about the heat, that I'm a total wimp. I have a comfort zone that consists of 70-73 degrees with a slight breeze. Any cooler, I'm cold. Any hotter, I'm melting. It's tough being me. :p BTW...it's 84 degrees right now. :cool:

Nanci that chicken sounds fantastic! I'm always looking for somehting relatively easy to do in the crockpot.

I posted this a while back. It doesn't require cooking, is vegan, and is surprisingly yummy. I can't do dairy so I'm always looking for yummy things that are cow product free.

We harvested the first of our garden tomatoes this weekend (cherry only thus far!), so I think we'll be making the fresh salsa soon!

I thought this thread was going to be artsy-craftsy when it's actually about food. Why am I not surprised . . .

FOOD! I love FOOD!

Yesterday I went to the Farmer's Market here in our little town of Flagstaff. I picked up some fresh corn, tomatoes and onions and green beans. So, what to cook? I grilled some chicken breasts and made the following wonderful salsa to serve over the top. 3 poblano peppers roasted on the grill and chopped, 3 large tomatoes chopped, a few tablespoons of chopped red onion, two cooked, removed from cob (corn kernels), and a little fresh cilantro from my garden. The salsa was good enough to eat on its own! Served over the chicken with green beans on the side and a little rice pilaf

YUM YUM!

I love cooking fresh stuff - it's so tasty. :)

Nanci - I loved your breakfast -- farfalle, parm cheese, sundried tomatoes & capers.. (I have capers, just wondered what to do with them ;) ). I'll be making that tonight! (and, the 20 garlic chicken sounds wicked awesome, too).

Yellow - Southwestern Tofu Wraps -- Thanks for the recipe. Looks absolutely scrumptious!!! :) Ingredients going on my list.....

SadieKate - You can add some artsy-craftsy things ;) . I admire people who are good at this stuff.

I'm back to being a vegetarian again (four months now), though I never was a big meat eater...
If you've got any delicious veggie recipes, please feel free to add them, or PM me...

Thanks so much!!

Denise

Ooh Yellow, I want those for breakfast! I love Tex-Mex and also cannot do dairy (or eggs -- allergic to both), so breakfast can be a problem for me. Thanks for posting this recipe; I have all the ingredients and will make it this week.
