It finally snowed, so we made a shepherd's pie.  A great comfort food.

I love 'em either boiled or fried, but they are better fried.  Next time, I'm going to cut up some onion and fry them with it.

Making stew.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

I threw a handful of them in the stew I made today, along with cauliflower and broccoli.  It was delicious!!!

I know, long time no see, but I wanted to share a healthy low fat recipe with you that is so delicious....trust me.  Plus, don't let the list of ingredients seem like a lot.  It's simple and you'll have leftovers for a few days.

Lentil soup

2 tbls olive oil or your choice of oil
2 cups dry lentils rinsed
8 cups of water
medium onion diced
2 stalks celery diced
2 good size carrots diced
1 can of diced tomatoes (i use no salt)
frozen corn...optional
1 tspn oregano
1 tspn basil
2 tspn minced garlic
2 to 3 tbls white vinegar
sea salt or your choice to your taste and black pepper...to your tast

saute in olive oil onion, celery and carrots for 5 mins....
add in garlic, oregano and basil...
saute for another few minutes....
add water, tomatoes and lentils
bring to boil then cover and simmer for about an hour until lentils are soft
add s and p to your taste
if using corn put that in ....cook till soft....add vinegar and enjoy

Yum! We do a very similar soup.

And brussel sprouts are actually the best cut in half and tossed in a little duck fat/spray with salt and pepper and roasted on parchment paper. About twenty minutes around 400 F.
The gamey flavour of the oil matches the bitterness of the sprouts and equals caramelized sweetness.

Beef bourguignon.  Labor intensive, but fun to make on a cold, rainy day.

[Bahamas]

You probably just like saying "bourguignon"?

..."So yesterday, I threw together a bit of bourguignon...was but just a bit of thyme..."

Ha ha, yes, it is a great dish. Not often, but have made it a few times. Pre-flouring the meat in hot oil, then letting it simmer with the rest.

And left-overs never smelled or tasted so good! It's the bit of red wine, probably? Or the rich cognac.

The whole house smells it!

I will try that the next time.  Sounds good to me.  I love brussel sprouts.

Yes, and always with a Julia Child voice.

[blackhawkrush]

Beef Stroganoff on egg noodles.  A bit less work than bourgignon.

Mushroom soup and golabki.

[blackhawkrush]

Chicken tortilla soup and a turkey leg with potatoes.

I used a London broil, and the recipe was off the Net.
