me make food

Been trying some new stuff and I love a simple stir fry and talked theresa into trying it. I went light on the vegetables and made them big so Theresa could pick them out. Carrots, zuchinni, red pepper, garlic, and some mushrooms prepared in a separate pan. just a touch of oil, butter, and a few dashes of sesame oil. Thickened the broth with corn starch and served over rice. Was delicious.

Trying to test out a few new dishes and looking to keep it on the lighter side. Saw some recipes for a chicken with tomatoes and other veg and decided to tweak it a bit. Theresa stopped at the store and I forgot to have her pick up a tomato so I put on the boots and headed out to the spooky garden. Fought through the weeds and found some tomatoes and a bunch of ready to go cayenne peppers. Awesome. Had to take a shower after though.

Asked on the forum for some ideas and got a lot of help.

Put some diced green chilies on my mini lunch pizza today and it was absolutely amazing. It would slay with the spiciness of pepperoni too. Saw a diners drive ins and dives where a place used diced green chilies in their awesome pizzas and have be intrigued ever since. It is really good because they are such a cool flavor that goes with pizza well. A great addition to round out the flavor without being hot.

I was worried that some of them got pretty brown. Wondered if I shouls of added them later, but the juices spread over the pieces and the browned chilies added another layer of flavor. Nom

We got a pressure cooker as a gift and had no clue what to do with it, but now we love the thing. Took about an hour to make a killer chicken noodle soup.

First we cooked all the leavings from a roasted chicken for 30 minutes to get a good broth. The carcass, skin, and meat leavings turned into a spent glop.

Our wire whip on the kitchenaid mixer was destroyed in an attempt to repair it (pic below) so we turned to the trusty ricer for our mashed taters and although I have replaced the wire whip we will sticked to riced potatoes. The texture is nice and you can fold in the milk and butter easily. Best part is you avoid making glue by over whipping them.
