Had a vegetable omelet for breakfast, no cheese in it. Glass of juice and 2 cups of coffee. Followed with a full glass of water. Already had 2 glasses of water prior to meal. Fairly warm today so will take a long walk.
Supper tonight was a stir fry in the wok on the stove... B/S chicken breast cubed and pre marinated in a honey/garlic sauce... loads of fresh veggies.. Vegetable stock for the liquid along with the marinating sauce..
OK...... it is now 7:30am and I just got up to go to the bathroom and couldn't fall back asleep. so I came on here for a while... As I look outside, it is snowing like the dickens.. They are forecasting up to 40cms of snow for today with high winds.. A real winter storm... Time for something for the storm................. CHICKEN SOUP !!!! I have some legs that I will take the skin and fat off, cut to separate, and make some real Jewish Chicken Soup... I have onions, carrots, parsnips, celery, and loads of chicken... I also have some fresh dill to add to the soup.. Chicken soup without fresh dill isn't chicken soup... Its chicken broth..... I also have some ... Matzo Ball Mix .... to have with the soup... Wow !!! What a treat during the storm.... I will have lots leftover to freeze for another time.. chicken soup is good for what ails you....
Your chicken soup sounds delicious, @Steve North ! Tomorrow is our Thanksgiving holiday, so we have the turkey set out to thaw, and i will put it on to cook first thing in the morning. We don’t do a big meal, but will be having butternut squash along with the turkey. My daughter is coming over, and she won’t eat squash, so I am making a potato salad also. Since it IS a special holiday dinner, we will just enjoy everything and not worry about carb content tomorrow.
Steve, I have a Jewish friend who tells me to always add hot horse radish to my chicken soup as well and it turns out well. Try it. Cures everything, even the doldrums.
Well, I don't have to tell you what we are having for supper tonight, now do I ...... CHICKEN SOUP with lots of chicken.. Actually I put 5 legs with the backs that I separated which makes 10 pieces of chicken.. Skin and fat removed of course.. The soup is on the stove as I post this and it will be on a light boil (simmer) for another 3 hours.. total of 5 hours.. I will try to make some Matzo balls to go with it but they are very labour intensive to make.. I might just do up some egg noodles instead..
supper tonight was an .......... S ......... supper.. Soup..... Salad....... Salmon...... Strawberry youcheese.. Each a small bowl of the soup from yesterday, a fresh salad and pan seared salmon... Strawberry youcheese for dessert.. pot of tea....
I thought you would ask me about that.... I take a large container of plain yogurt (I like the Balkan style because it is very thick) and I put it into a coffee filter (the whole container) that is in a sieve (strainer) that sits on top of a bowl to let the liquid drain out.. I put the whole thing in the fridge (uncovered) overnight to drain out the whey and be left with a really thick yogurt.. It now looks like a cheese in thickness.. Throw out the whey, put the thick yogurt into the bowl and add a package of (your favourite flavour) jello powder.. Mix very very well and you now have a flavoured yogurt called "Youcheese" because it is like a cheese in consistency, it is yogurt, and it is like a desert........ It is always much better the next day as the flavour is more intense.. I like using a S/F jello like lime or cherry but any powdered jello will do..... It sounds like a lot of work but it only takes 2 minutes to do..
I often buy the Greek yogurt but it too must be done as I explained in order to get the whey out to make a proper youcheese.. It isn't the type of yogurt but the consist which must be thick with No whey....I find the Greek yogurt too liquid... I use the Balkan yogurt which is what we get up here..
Supper tonight was chicken soup again..... Lots of chicken in the soup.. There was lots leftover, so I froze it in containers..... Dessert was S/F vanilla pudding poured over half a stewed peach to cover it.. Pot of tea...
Supper tonight (Sunday) will most likely be spaghetti squash with my homemade pasta sauce.. I have a spaghetti squash that keeps looking at me in the kitchen.. Time to relieve it of its misery.. I have lots of minced chicken that will make a lovely sauce along with a can of diced tomatoes and other things.. Pot of tea.. Breakfast will be pancakes made with wheat gluten which is a very low carb flour.. Served with S/F syrup.. Pot of Folgers..
I didn't make the spaghetti squash... Please don't ask me why ...!!!!! Instead I took the minced chicken and I made a meat loaf ..... BUT ..... I made it in a muffin tin instead of a loaf pan.. I ended up with 12 mini meat muffins.. Coleslaw.. Stewed peaches with cottage cheese for dessert.. Pot of tea.....
