Something Delicious

Nadeest · 02-03-2013, 08:52 AM

I just thought about this, while having breakfast this morning, and I'd love to do a poll on it, sometime. How many people tend to have leftovers for breakfast, instead of fixing something else?

I do that for breakfast about twice a week. The rest of the time the leftovers are used for lunch, if there are leftovers OR I will transform the leftovers into something else. For example, thin steak strips will become the meat in my breakfast wrap with egg, cheese, salsa, veggies etc

I'm doing that right now - mashed potatoes in the microwave as we speak!

That all depends on what the leftovers are.

If I have polenta I will likely grill it off and top it with something.

Grilled artichokes or cooked spinach can become a part of a poached egg dish, think Benedict with vegetables instead of ham. I do a egg white scrambles frequently and will incorporate leftover vegetables. Hmm...I see a theme here.

If you mean straight up leftovers that are not deconstructed and re-worked, not usually the norm for me. Though not opposed to the idea. Its a mood thing.

The one caveat is that if I have been drinking the night before, or have otherwise put my body through some physical exertion all bets are off and I may just eat something out of the ordinary for breakfast or make a big breakfast. That can be an "anything goes" situation.

MMM all this food talk.

Yesterday, my wife and I went to a super bowl party, though I probably only watched 15 minutes of the game and just talked and ate the rest of the time.

I made this -- it was a hit, who knew.

1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
4 oz cream cheese (softened, room temp)
1/4 lb (1 stick) butter (softened, room temp)
1 TBS vanilla extract
1.5-2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Place peanut butter, cream cheese, butter and cream (with hand mixer), add vanilla and powdered sugar (increments of 1/2 cup) add till you feel its a good consistency. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Serve either in a bowl or shape into something. I did a football and coated with rest of mini chips.

Serve with pretzels and/or popcorn. It's good. I promise.

It was a long day today! I am in a "don't want to" mood. I stopped into a little local place to get a grilled chicken burger piled with fresh veggies, pineapple, and this really tasty island type hp sauce. Then I treated myself to their handmade sweet potato fries and salt reduced gravy.

Knowing someone who works there helps so I can be given an honest opinion about the nutritional value. It's still not as great as if I made it all myself, but tonight I don't mind.

That salad sounds pretty amazing. It's good salad weather here now. I've planted some radishes and am waiting for them to come up. They are apparently one of the quickest veges from germination to harvest - 30 to 40 days. I also learned that you can eat the greens, and if you let it go to seed it produces pods that you can also eat.

I'm kind of lucky - now that Kris is not working, if I'm in a "don't want to" mood, he's got it covered. Your chicken burger sounds pretty darn good though!

well damn.....
a lot to talk about.
Paula Deen said that February is cherry month...
regarding leftovers for breakfast, I love to make potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes and a couple of fried eggs..

Sun mentioned curry....I don't think I have ever even had it.

And ceviche.....I have always wanted to try it

I have been on a shrimp and garlic kick. I tried the minced garlic in the jar. I think it comes from Gilroy, CA, the garlic capitol. Anyway, it is very strong. and I love garlic! I could eat it out of the jar. I saute my shrimp in some olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and fresh parsley. It is yummy.

Super Bowl at my house. I wanted something different. I made baby back ribs in the crock pot, then put them in the oven, added some barbecue sauce til it carmelized, then done.

then, I found this "killer" recipe for garlic cheese bread. OMG....
Cut a whole loaf of french bread in half long ways, then cut those in half so you have 4 . melt some butter with of course, I used my garlic from the jar. you swish the first piece of bread cut side down into the butter mixture til the bread browns. repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of the loaf. put on a baking sheet cut side up. take a quarter cup of mayo mixed with grated cheddar, monterey jack, and parmesan cheeses and chopped green onions. mix well and it will easily spread onto the tops of the bread. put in oven til cheese melts and unbelievable! that's all I ate lol

From food network I learned that they all cook with kosher salt, so I use it now too, but, now everyone is talking about sea salt. My question is ......is sea salt better for us than others???

ahk ......the cheese grater you showed is similar to mine. Do you have one too?

CA Baby Cakes ......OMG you live in Pico Rivera ??? I was born and grew up in Montebello! Have you been to Garduno's on Whittier Blvd. by the High School!....I still drive there for the food!!! However, practically every little place there has outstanding Mexican Food !!!

The Academy Awards are coming up I think Feb 24th on a sunday night. It is a tradition at my house. It is taco night ....You all are invited! I usually just make beef tacos, refried beans, and Spanish rice, but, if anyone wants, I will make carnitas tacos also...

Make some Margaritas too....Can't wait.

Hi Ursy.....you are such a sweetie ...........

JustLovelyJenn, you are looking lovely tonight. (Just had to say that)
