It's the weekend, what are you cooking Jokers?

[Mary9915]

It seems like I do the most of my cooking on the weekends. Here are my weekend low carb cooking plans...

Friday - Jalapeno poppers we made this fall when the farmer's market was full of jalapenos and froze. Probably a shrimp cocktail to go with it.

Saturday - Tomahawk steak and sheet pan mushrooms. Mushroom recipe:
https://damndelicious.net/2017/05/16/sheet-pan-garlic-butter-mushrooms/

Sunday - Pork shoulder slow cooked in my cast iron dutch oven with cauliflower mash.

Any low carb cooking plans Jokers?

[hytail]

Saturday and Sunday will be having avocado and bacon on toast for breakfast. I could eat these three times a day.

[michelelovesvegas]

Being corn beef is on sale, bought 2, so that will be dinners and lunch for lots of meals.

[Elf70]

I’m currently roasting a chicken. We’ll have lots of leftovers. Tomorrow I’m doing ribs in the crockpot. I’m searching the internet for a simple recipe now.

[owls]

Sunday...King Ranch Casserole and salad for dinner.

Had to look that one up..it sounds delicious!

[Mary9915]

The tomahawk ribeye was the best steak I’ve had in a long time...the sheet pan mushrooms were delicious but next time I’ll roast them at a higher temperature.

This was mostly a lost weekend for me, but today I will be doing some food prep for the week. I found a new meatball recipe to try. I also got some country style spare ribs I will cook up in the Instant Pot. I'll boil some eggs, cook some bacon & get all my salad ingredients ready.

For dinner tonight I plan to do a chicken paillard over spinach and arugula. I am going to try to replicate @DK528 (http://jokerswildforum.com/member.php?u=145)'s tomato vinaigrette with it.

@Mary9915 (http://jokerswildforum.com/member.php?u=827), I never ever thought to cook mushrooms in the oven. That recipe looks divine with just the right flavors, and it is going on my list. I wish I hadn't bought the lazy pre-sliced mushrooms this week, or I would make them immediately!

@hytail (http://jokerswildforum.com/member.php?u=746), you are killing me with your avocado & bacon on toast. It's one of my most favorite things!

[Nhcris]

Holy Hell Mary9915, that dinner looks like restaurant quality only better! Just beautiful!

It all looks great! I could never get my eggs hard boiled perfectly until I found a recipe to follow. I don't boil them I steam them. 12 minutes in a steam basket is the recipe but I always due 13 just to be sure. Then dump into an ice water bath. They come out perfect every time and are so easy to peel.

https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/04/steamed-hard-boiled-eggs-recipe.html

[Laurie]

Oh they peeled easy foamy just thought the yokes should be softer. The recipe did give times for that I just boiled them hard as usual

It was foamy’s recipe. Not sure if he made it up or saw it somewhere.
Marinated fresh Brussel sprouts in Aldis balsamic glaze. We only did an hour would do longer next time. Wrap in half slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Bake at 350 for an hour on baking sheet (line in foil for easier clean up)

I smoke then in a tinfoil pan so I always cut it off better bark and me inside stays moist. It look like that one was cut off to me so that makes sense

Thanks DK... I’ve found the quinoa with green enchilada sauce is great together without the chicken... with a bit of sour cream it makes it even better. Haha I’ll try to finish the quinoa off this way ;)

Purchased some good size avacados. About the size of a medium Starbucks. Large ones in the past werent too good just big. Lucked out as these are excellent.

Photos are beside objects so you can see the size. (By the way I have become quite skilled at extracting the meat from the skin without waste)

Elf70 I'm a little late on this but I have a great recipe (I think) for ribs in the crockpot. I use the preseasoned ribs from Costco and mix liquid smoke and Dr. Pepper and pour it over them, and just cook on low for a long time. Put them under the broiler for some color and you are good to go.

Curlyd You mentioned this before.

These were given to me around 1995 by an ex fiancee. If you would like them I would send them to you - I have no attachment. However, not a complete set as years ago I used the cups to hold paint when I was on ladders painting trim and edge work - didn't have any small cans. haha Anyways, I have two other sets of dishes so these are not vital. I will have to say these particular dishes are great in the microwave.

That's very nice of you but no thanks. I just love to see them because they remind me of the start of my marriage. They are great for the microwave! I gave them to our daughter when I bought a new set of Corelle in the French White. I currently use those for everyday but I have 5 other sets of china and stoneware. I have inherited a number of family china sets! I really need to let go of a few sets.
