radish

Brilliant!  I love radishes!!!  Of course, I'm used to the regular red skinned ones you can buy at any grocery store, but the point is "Yay! Radishes!"

When they get huge, they get sweeter and milder.

In honor of the summer season coming to a close, I made a tomato pie last night after hitting one of the local Farmer's Market. I followed this recipe (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/tomato-pie-recipe.html):

Ingredients
4 tomatoes, peeled and sliced
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 (9-inch) prebaked deep dish pie shell
1 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup grated cheddar
1 cup mayonnaise
Salt and pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in 1 layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for 10 minutes. Layer the tomato slices, basil, and onion in pie shell. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise together. Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. To serve, cut into slices and serve warm.

MODIFACTIONS/TIPS:

I pre-baked the ready made pie-crust for 10 minutes, then let it completely cool.

I placed a kitchen towel over my largest cookie sheet then layered some paper towels over that. Then I placed the sliced and peeled tomatoes on top of the towels, then patted them on the top with some paper towels. Then (is it me or am I using “then” a lot?!) I sprinkled some Kosher salt, some cracked mixed peppers and some garlic powder on top of the tomatoes. After about 15 minutes I (then!) sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top of the tomatoes.

I used half a white/sweet onion and three, large tomatoes. I also used about ¾ cup of Hellmans mayonnaise, a cup of freshly grated sharp cheddar, and about 1 ½ cups of mozzarella cheese. I also added fresh cooked bacon, chopped, on top of the tomatoes. I did not use the basil leaves or the green onion.

Oh. My. Goodness. So darn good!! I think if I add some chopped, cooked chicken this will make a great "winter" dish, too! Seems like an adaptable recipe.

It is officially cookie baking day.

Chocolate crinkles
Oatmeal
Some almond thing my wife loves
Chocolate chip

Will have around 40 dozen by the time we are done, but I will do my best to make sure I reduce the cookie population by at least a couple dozen throughout the day.  I feel it is my duty to prevent over crowding.

Tuna sandwich on my home made potato/whole wheat bread. I've been experimenting with different seasonings and additional ingredients the last year or so. I don't particularly LIKE tuna, so it's a challenge. I know I need to eat fish, but I can't afford the kind I really like... cold water cod and halibut.

Anyway, this is the recipe I use the most these days:

1 5 ounce can plain chunk tuna
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
1/8 tsp. celery seed, powdered
1/8 tsp. powdered onion
1 tsp. parsley flakes (or two nice sprigs fresh parsley, chopped fine)
salt to taste

Best if mixed the day before, or at least several hours to allow flavors to blend. Toast the bread for the best texture. I've also used this recipe with leftover baked or poached fish from local waters. A friend goes fishing often and will bring me one or two sometimes.

Meat Lollipops

Mix up a batch of meatloaf with a couple of extra eggs for binding.
cut and sharpen a bunch of shishkebab skewers,

get a cupcake tin and do your favorite nonstick/ release agent thing to it.

either use the tin as a mold or ball up the meatloaf mixture and stick the kebob sticks in making sure to remold the meat to get a decent bind between stick and meat.

Roast for the appropriate time for the quantity...........

now I have a snack I can pull out of the plastic airtight, nuke for a minute to heat without having to spend HUGE cash on those dubious store bought versions.......(Salt, additives, soy filler, etc.)

I have been having a ball on Pinterest lately, especially trying out some recipes. I did this one Tuesday night and the chicken came out so moist and tender. DH had picked up a whole chicken (pre-cut thank goodness) and it worked out just fine. I imagine any kind of chicken combo would work.

Super Moist Oven Baked BBQ Chicken

•   4, bone-in Chicken Breast Halves
•   3 tbsp olive oil
•   1½ tsp smoked paprika
•   2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
•   3 cloves garlic, minced
•   ½-3/4 tsp kosher salt
•   pepper to taste
•   1 C favorite prepared BBQ sauce

1.   Remove skin from chicken breast halves and place in a large ziplock bag.
2.   Combine olive oil, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl and pour over chicken.
3.   Let chicken marinade for at least an hour, up to 24 in the fridge.
4.   Preheat oven to 350 degrees
5.   Remove chicken from bag and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
6.   Bake for 20 minutes and brush a layer of BBQ sauce on the chicken. Return to the oven and repeat brushing with BBQ sauce every 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes longer. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when read with a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast.

I also made some homemade cornbread and honey butter (1/2 cup of butter, whip in 1/4 cup of honey). I halved the below recipe and baked it in 8x8 glass pan. It did have a nice cake-like texture, though it was not too sweet.

CORN BREAD

•   ⅔ cup butter
•   ⅔ cup sugar
•   3 eggs
•   1⅔ cups milk
•   2⅓ cups flour
•   1 cup corn meal
•   4 tsp baking powder
•   1 tsp salt

1.   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2.   Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl.
3.   In a small bowl combine the eggs and milk.
4.   In a third bowl combine the flour, corn meal, baking powder and salt.
5.   Alternating pour in ¼th of the milk mixture, then ¼th of the flour mixture into the large bowl with the butter and sugar mixture until everything is combined.
6.   Pour batter into a pam sprayed 9x13 inch pan.
7.   Place in oven and bake for about 25 minutes.

Have some apples going soft or with bad spots? Wash, core and remove bad stuff, then run in a food processor until mostly chopped. Use this in place of processed zucchini, or with any quick bread recipe calling for puree fruit or vegetable. I use carrots and apples together, run through the food processor, in a carrot cake recipe too.

Making two loaves now, but will wait until tomorrow to cut them. I slice them, put each slice into a sandwich baggie, then into a larger freezer bag. Once frozen, I can take out one or more slices as needed, and the rest stay fresh.

Crock-potted about 3 lbs pork roast, 1 white onion, one whole garlic, 3 carrots and one green pepper, salt, pepper and one tablespoon tumeric.  Probably going to add pepper after done next time - I like'em crunchy.

Any suggestions for additions?  I'm looking for other ingredients like "it's a good idea - some research shows it impedes bad things /helps out around your body etc." type ingredients.

MMMMM.....Onions! Looks good! Only thing that I would add is maybe another spice or two. Maybe some of those little "salt potatoes" too. Minus the extra salt, of course.

I'm not one of those anti-saltists.  Had to look up what a salt potato was - due to the blandness of the ingredients I had to douse with extra salt anyway.

Now, with spices, what kind of superfood spices would you recommend?

Ummmm.....the Hulk's dandruff and Superman's toenail clippings!

Sorry....I really don't know. I'm not a chef. I cook what I like and don't worry about calories of health benefits. I'm still young"ish".

About salt potatoes- I just looked it up too. I didn't even realize that they were a regional dish! I thought that they were eaten everywhere! Venison speidies is another regional dish that I LOVE.

I just had a flourless chocolate cake at a brew pub in Bennington. As I wrote on their Facebook page:

Somebody is going to have to scrape me off the ceiling, tie a string to me, and fly me home like a kite. Yum.
