Shelter At Home Cooking: Show Us Yours!

Tinola

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">My husband is Filipino.  We make Tinola in our house a few times a month.  We sometimes have trouble finding the chayote though.  Yours looks really good.  I'm not a fan of ginger though so he cuts the pieces of ginger large enough that I can pick them out.</span>

 

[revvinkevin]

Ralph, I also don’t like eating the ginger in this soup, I pick it out too. But I do love the very “ginger-y” broth!

 

[gansky1]

Have been cooking more, like everyone. Lasagne, tacos, pizza, etc. but the baking has been the fun part - birthday cake last week, cinnamon rolls and yesterday, cookies to "pass" at our Zoom family reunion.

Gansky1

the fruits of your labor are impressive, especially your piping skills on the frosting of that beautiful cake.  Bravo!

 

Eddie

 

[vacerator]

Yes, cinnamon rolls please too!

Glad your Zoom reunion wasn't hacked.

I’ve been cooking more here too
Saturday I made French toast with a loaf of challah I bought 2 weeks ago
Yesterday it was cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes, green beans & tomatoes, and a focaccia.

Today is a 12 at pot of vegetable soup, and a pineapple upside down cake.

Over last few weeks I’ve made pot roast, rigatoni with meat sauce, fried fish and pierogi, stuffed peppers, Spanish noodles, porcupine balls, shells with velveeta and ground beef.
Most dinners are served with canned green beans, salad, or honey carrots, and either egg noodles or potatoes.

Of course every night it’s a cocktail with dinner

Sam.

Your Cabbage Roll dinner plate looks just like the Merchants Lunch that the ladies from the Jewish Synagogue in Petaluma, Calif. used to sell once a year to the shops and store employees in Petaluma once a year for a fund raiser in the early 70’s, right down to the canned green beans and mashed potatoes yum.  

 

My boss was Jewish and he always purchased these delicious lunches for all of his employees, and we looked forward to this every year. It was the first time I ever tasted Cabbage Rolls and I’ve loved them every since.  I’ll have to get some cabbage and make a batch, I haven’t made them in several years.

Apple Pie for me!

I for one have been loosing weight since the virus locked us down.  Down 6lbs over the past few weeks, eating smaller portions due to inactivity and cutting out coffee with sugar.  Decided I could eat some pie and not worry too much, really only 4 lbs to go to my target weight.

 

So I used Kelly's pie recipe - 2c flour, 1 c. shortening 1/2 cup water for the crust and a family members apple pie recipe that I think can't beat.  I Picked up some Granny Smith apples at Aldi last week, some of the nicest apples I've seen in a while, almost a shame to use them for pie, but they were  all I had so in they go.  One trick I learned a while back is to peel the apples, cut them in half then scoop out the core with a melon baller, make pie making so much easier.

 

Not my best job on crimping the crust, but I'm he only one eating it and it was GREAT.

My husband's been putting dinners on Instagram...had planned yesterday to do a chicken parm pasta bake but our after work walk took a little long--pivoted to a chicken cutlets with mushrooms and pimientos in a balsamic sauce and zucchini/tomato/parsley ratatouille in the microwave. We then went to the local soft serve shop to show them some love----they were doing a good job w/social distancing.

Looks good Sam, I notice in your first picture you have 2 of the rare Christmas Corning pieces they look to be the 1988 edition.

 

How did you find these pieces and do you have any others ?

[xraytech]

John,

Those are indeed the 1988 Corning Christmas dishes, I got those for maybe $5 each on eBay

I do have other Christmas pieces:
2 of the 1963 casseroles
1969 cake pan
1972 1 qt saucemaker
1974 casserole
1990 casserole
1995 Casserole

Last night the other half made another Filipino dish Chicken Adobo, but this time in the Instant Pot. Cooking time (at pressure) just 8 minutes. I can post the recipe if anyone is interested. It’s made with chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, Bayleaf, garlic, etc.

Hi Kevin,

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I wouldn't mind the recipe.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Thanks.</span>

 

[appnut]

Yum!!!!!

 

[frigilux]

I’m making a very traditional, upper-midwestern Easter meal (ham, scalloped potatoes, cheesy vegetable casserole, rolls, pumpkin pie). Made the dinner rolls this morning to freeze ‘til Sunday. This recipe usually makes a dozen big rolls, but decided to make them smaller this time. Gotta love the smell of bread baking.

Great photos of a wide array of foods in this thread, everyone! Keep ‘em coming. There’s a lot of kitchen talent in the AW family.

ROAST

After last nites wonderful bike ride - I was craving a roast of beef.  Since its just me I haven't made one in  a year! So off to the butcher , I got a nice spoon roast. In my new Easy Bake Oven it went! Holy Moly, these new ovens are so sealed when you open the door to check, you get a blast furnace , almost burned off my eyebrows! Hour & half at 400 it was done perfect using the new convect roast feature !! The outside was crispy the inside pink !!! As the roast relaxed out of the oven, I got out my 2 qt Indian pressure cooker and made a single serving of carrots n celery steamed in left over tea. 10 minutes Boom Boom Done.

Korean Spicy Chicken and Potato

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">So dinner today is Korean Spicy Chicken and Potato (Tak Toritang).  It's a recipe I found on Allrecipes.com.  I'm always looking for new things to cook and this sounded interesting.  I found it the other day but it required a spice I didn't have so I rang up Amazon and viola!!  It's at the front door.  Like magic.    And no, I didn't abuse my Prime membership. I ordered other things too.</span>

 

[whirlykenmore78]

Pork cheeseburgers with bacon:

Patties made from ground pork seasoned with Lawry's Granulated Garlic, Pepper, Worcestershire and grilled.  Bacon char-broiled on the grill.  Topped with Provolone and Swiss-American cheeses.   Quite a good burger.  I will make them again.
