Today’s take out lunch was quinoa salad with roasted eggplant, cauliflower, spinach and corn and grilled haloumi with beet tahini sauce.
Corn cakes fried in duck fat, salmon/shrimp/avocado salad with Kewpie mayonnaise and adobo seasoning.
Attempt to clear fridge and cupboard of some items that had been lingering. Brown rice and quinoa fried in a pen with cherry tomatoes, the remnants of jars of chilli garlic sauce and spicy Carribbean chutney, a tin of mackerel in brine, a stalk of coriander whose stem was almost as thick as tenderstem broccoli. Topped with avocado.
Julia Child’s favorite snack, which she paired with cocktails before Thanksgiving dinner. Works for me! Just no cocktails. Yet.
Slow cooker BBQ sauced boneless country-style ribs on thick-sliced onions. With cheesy grits. Green beans almondine (frozen, microwaved). Red grapes.
Technically breakfast, but it feels more like a lunch.
Burrata Caprese with Cretan olive oil, local heirlooms, avocado.
My favorite Irish soda bread , 5 ingredients. Odlums extra coarse whole meal flour, AP, salt and baking soda, buttermilk. Delicious just spread with butter or toasted.
And the unthinkable, tomato/lettuce…no bacon. ( I did have cooked bacon in fridge.)
Cuc salad with pickled red onions and iced tea, followed by a mini dish of peach ice cream with caramel sauce.
Half a B-A sliced king oyster mushroom seared in ghee, splashed with soy sauce and red wine, finished with s&p and fresh parsley. Fried egg on the side for protein
The money shot for @LindaWhit and @mariacarmen
Why oh why are the pics not the same size?
Egg salad sandwich for lunch, and a messy one at that! Irish soda bread, tomatoes and watercress,Dukes Mayo, capers, celery and a wee bit of pickle relish…a 3 napkin sandwich.
Dessert was a lot easier to eat, we split one of the Italian prune plum/ricotta cakes. Tender and moist from the ricotta, I could easily have eaten a whole one.
You should have a Nannybakes Lunch cookbook!
Thanks! I just posted the cakelets on our family group chat and several have piped up that they want to make it.
My oldest granddaughter made BLT ‘s yesterday, she said she was inspired by mine !
We make a yearly cookbook (kind of best of XXXX) for our family - it’s quite cheap to do that (and is a great xmas gift)
But you did not! Why?
