Something on the side

Be careful not to boil the chicken for too long or it will become tough. If you boil it at 75℃/167F, it will turn out nice and tender. Recipe by Kirei

I love trying new vegetable combos, especially this bounteous time of year. This recipe serves 2-4 depending on serving size.

Versatility really is key in any dish.With that, green chiles and cumin, or, green/red bell peppers, etc,. can also be added to this dish as to pair it accordingly with most of your main dish ideas.

I like to have a salad with every meal. This is quick and easy. You can substitute and add any types of veggies you prefer. But this is my everyday salad!

Inspired by no-thing at all

I found this marinade recipe online, and adapted it to suit my store cupboard and personal tastes. Loved it!

Tasty and Different

Merry Christmas….I hope you all had a lovely day and a delicious dinner or lunch. We had a small family gathering for lunch yesterday at my home, this year was different much quieter, not much laughing, but we have a good friend visiting from Greece and he tried to cheer everyone up with his jokes, he did have some great jokes but our spirit was just not into it with the loss.Anyway on with the recipe, I cooked with the help of my mom, we got everything done a bit quicker so I didn’t have to spend Christmas day in the kitchen. Now, I know that not everyone loves Brussels Sprouts but they are quite delicious if you tweak them with lovely ingredients that just gives them a burst of taste. At the Christmas table yesterday we had the usual salads, potatoes, Turkey, and ohhhh I shouldn’t forget to mention that they all wanted Tzaziki added to the table. Now how in the world does this dish combine into the Christmas table I have no idea, but as they say “to each his own”.I wanted to add this lovely side dish for an extra little surprise, and they did enjoy eating it just as much as they did the Tzatziki!!

I was looking for something different for my potatoes, and this is what I came with :-)

I'm expanding my repertoire of bento recipes.It's better to cool a little bit and then cut.I'm thinking up other recipes revolving around this. Recipe by yukanosuke

Had some cooked beetroot and zucchini to use up.

I want to think up a quick and easy recipe that has lots of nutrients You can enjoy this all year round with your favorite vegetables.Avocado, potato... it goes well with anything so I often make this.This looks delicious in a bento if you wipe excess oil and then let it cool. All of the ingredients for the sauce are used in a 1:1 ratio, so adjust the amounts to the same desired portion sizes. You can exchange the broccoli for broccoli sprouts, spinach, asparagus, or other in-season veggies. For 2~3 servings. Recipe by Emimafin

Between the two truffle oils, black and white, I found that the white truffle oil was the better one. It’s sweet, almost a sugary flavor. Coupled with salt, parsley and Parmesan, it makes for an amazing treat or side dish to a meal. Parsley & Parmesan are optional toppings!

Here are instructions and tips to cast iron pan-sear perfect, melt in your mouth T-Bone steaks. There are also easy instructions on making your own garlic steak butter, frying onions and mushrooms and to jazz up your baked asparagus and baked potato sides.

I thought of a side dish with a touch of autumn.When filling the chikuwa with the third or fourth mushroom, it's easier to insert if you slide the chopstick in the hole along with the stem.One chikuwa can hold 4 mushrooms; think of the length and size when you arrange them and they can turn out really cute.

Comfort food for when I have dumplings leftover from my cream of chicken and dumplings soup. If you're making without the soup, start with just half the dumplings recipe. This makes a great side dish for dinner, but I also just make it as a quick lunch for myself sometimes, too.

Vegetarian sliders! Homemade burger patties! #sliders #homecooking

In summertime, I receive a large amount of eggplants, so I cook them in a variety of ways.The amount of soy sauce may vary depending on how much you drain the excess moisture from the eggplants. Start with two swirls.Make sure you drain the eggplants after they have cooled down to avoid burning yourself. For 2 eggplants' worth. Recipe by xxyuzumikanxx
