the crazy potato

I could not decide on what to make...so I started just cutting the potatoes and boiling them... When they were ready I was not....
I had no clue what to do...And I had just got to my second home without stopping at a proper supermarket... Only at this little store that sold potatoes :)
I looked at my frisdge and saw that I had a great mustard, a very yummy rustic one.
So I took that out, added the delicious ricotta I had just got and some balsamic.... hummmm and some garlic for good measure.. of course!
Then I checked the pantry and found that I had soy beans (canned) and nice herbs growing in the garden...
hummmmm actually the neighboors garden....
She will never notice that I took some basil, parsley and dill....
She may notice the parsley......... ;)
This salad ended up so delicious and hearty. I recommend !!!! And my hubby ate it and repeated.. SO This double recommended !!!
Enjoy !!!

Why do companies have customer relations departments if they do not care?

sweet and sour

Easy and good looking. Serve it at any night or at some special one.

It will serve 4 people and it's ready in 30 minutes or less.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 head green cabbage, quartered through the core

1/2 cup cider vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1tea spoon of crushed garlic

course salt and ground pepper

Start by putting olive oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat. Then add the garlic and the cabbage and cook it until it’s golden brown. Around 3 minutes per each side. Then add vinegar, sugar and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a simmer. Cook the cabbage until it is tender. You can use a fork to test it. Cook about 12 to 15 minutes then serve with salt and pepper. You can also replace the salt with soy sauce. Sometimes I add Worcestershire sauce, just a dash...

Enjoy cooking!!!!

The not peanut butter sammy

I just lately encounter the marvelous almond butter in my life.

It is creamy, oily, smooth and comes in a nice tall jar of deliciousness. So I made my very own first Almond butter and jelly sandwich. And I had to share it....

Unbelievable how your toddler demands and you just follow his instructions. He says up up up, meaning more more more... and there my sandwich goes.... away from my papilla gustatory....

No problem I made another one when he was napping and enjoyed it very much...

The issue now is that I'm an addict. I need ABJA ( almond butter jelly anonymous) asap.

Later I'm trying almond butter sauce on pork chops.... It will be a blast, some shallots and fresh tarragon.....just out of this world. Sauté the 1/2" pork chops for 4 minutes on each side (on medium low), remove from the pan, sauté the shallots and scrub all the goodness from the pan, add some white whine, the one you are already drinking while cooking this, and slowly poor the 2 spoons full of Perfect balanced pure, natural, organic and sodium free Almond butter. mixed it well until smooth and put the chops back on.

Do not let it burn, so keep the heat to minimum... Sprinkle tarragon and serve with nice rice!

Have fun with food!
