🍛 Grapefruit Rice recipe | How to make Grapefruit Rice

Well I wasn’t sure, but another person at this same table, enjoys a good grapefruit rice. I think this means coconuts or else heavy citrus. Okay, my life will be very interesting from now on. Well, live and learn. (That was a joke.) No, I would never ask anyone not to eat their coconut rice and I never will; that is something I have to stay away from along with the other fruit and salt dishes. No problem, I can keep my hands to myself.

Baked Buffalo Wings – Spend With Pennies

If you live in the US (and I do), you wouldn’t think of game day recipes just about this time of year exactly, … wait a minute would you? Okay, I’m not totally sure, I’m forgetting soccer, but I’m referring to football.

And this set-up is because, on May 26th, a week from this coming Sunday (May 18th), pre-season for the CFL begins. So yes, you can get your game day snacks together, you just need an IPTV subscription that includes Canadian TV and most all of them do!

Oh I have no doubts that most freelancers and bloggers would take to IPTV like a fish in water, because, it is such a freelance and everyday kind of environ. You just have to get past the sign-up and sign-in stigmata by reading every word of everything and making sure to ask your questions via email or chat or text. And being patient with long strings to input in lines of apps that might seem foreign at first. After all that, it’s silly.

The Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich – Spend With Pennies

Everyone I’ve ever known agrees on grilled cheese; it’s a universal culinary truth. So my stack choice on this, is tough, large white bread from a sliced commercial loaf and all the cheeses mentioned: cheddar, American and provolone (oh, maybe also pepper-jack or Monterrey jack); because I like a very cheesy grilled cheese. Of course, it is really great with a thin slice or two or baked ham and possibly a thin tomato.

Grilled Chicken Avocado + Mango Salad – Ready in Minutes!

I’m not fond of fruit in my food anywhere and I’ve been proven wrong about that (except a sweet and sour recipe and some pineapple pizza); and I’ve been out-spoken about this on my Facebook page, that, I just can’t understand people who combine fruit with regular salt dishes or vice versa. Strangely, one child loves pineapple and another child loves mango and profess to love either anywhere in the meal. So I have had to change my ways a bit and open my heart to seeing that there are people who like fruit in their dishes. I don’t understand it, but okay. In which case, this should be very good.

Sinaloa Style Chicken – Not Too Crazy

Irene's avatarMy Slice of Mexico

(Click here to jump to printable recipe)

“El Pollo Loco” (“The Crazy Chicken”) is a popular restaurant chain in Northern Mexico and Southern US.  On its History page , the company’s website says that back in the mid 1970s, in the small town of Guasave, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, when founder Juan Francisco (Pancho) Ochoa told his friends that he was going to make his family’s grilled chicken famous, they had a cynical reaction, calling him “loco” (“crazy”) in jest, but indeed he proved them wrong, and became a great success.  His delicious grilled chicken, marinated in a secret family recipe concoction, is one of the many versions of Sinaloa style grilled chicken. Other chains, such as “Pollo Feliz” (Happy Chicken), and “Porti Pollos” (which I recently visited in Culiacan, Sinaloa, a few blocks from my sister’s house) also feature whole or half chickens, charbroiled…

Rasam

Oh my Goodness – Rasam! It is comfort food to the Nth degree. Think chicken soup but for vegetarians.  Just as chicken soup makes one feel good when they have a cold or flu so does rasam for us vegetarians. In fact in our home or for that matter in most South Indian homes, when one is under the weather the first question they get asked is “Shall I make rasam for you?” Rasam is a ubiquitous feel good soup and is such an integral part of a traditional South Indian meal that every meal will usually include rasam on the menu.

Caramelized Shallots and Super Greens Curry

surreyfarms.net's avatarSurreyfarms. A serene haven in the foothills of Northern California

Super Greens are a blend of leafy green vegetables that are a mix of baby kale, spinach, Swiss chard and turnip greens. What makes this combination of greens so delicious in this curry is that the greens themselves have a distinct flavor of their own making this a very flavorful dish. Lightly browned shallots and spices such as coriander and turmeric add just the right amount of seasoning to turn these greens into a delicious curry perfect to have as a side with chicken or fish, or serve it with naan, rice or chapati.

Lamb Shank with Balsamic Vinaigrette, Garlic, Rosemary

goatsandgreens's avatarOf Goats and Greens

Contains:  The dressing has honey in the vinaigrette (added sugar).  Is:  Gluten-free, nightshade-free, Paleo.  

One of my favorite parts of the lamb is the shank.  And just as a note, today would have been my parents’ 68th marriage anniversary date, were they still on this plane of life.  Which is relevant as they loved making and eating lamb.

Back in the day I tried cooking it like parents cooked the actual leg of lamb – to a nice pink medium rare.  We’d never eaten the shank back when I was growing up with them – basically, not enough meat on one to serve the four of us!  The shank was decent that way, but this cut really comes into its own if done with a longer braising.  There’s more cartilage and connective tissue here, and the shank sees more “action” on the animal than the actual leg does.
