Tasty Bites from the Kitchen Project

Judy likes bake potatoes more than rice. Shrimp stir fry on golden baked potatoes.
Thumbs up. Listened to a wonderful 1965 hit remastered.

What do you call something that is half German and half French?

In Skillets I now use half Cauliflower and half Potato as a base. I think they will just get married.

Splurge Birthday Dinner, Filet for Judy and Rib Eye for me, Grilled Onion Slices, Baby Bok Choy and those cool Campari Tomatoes. Of course a Coarse Salt Baked Russet.

Grilled Lemon Chicken with Cauli-Redskin Garlic Mash. Simple, and no leftovers

Maybe McDonalds will make Asparagus Fries someday.
Good with miso mayo ....or your favorite dipping sauce.

Our Memorial Day Dinner, Steak and Shrimp and Veg, and listened to my 70's playlist.

A marinade for Flap Meat "Sirloin Fajita" for Fajitas
The famous Ninfa's in Houston uses pineapple juice in it.

My first time cooking "Flap Meat" which is also called Sirloin Fajita. Fajita originally is a cut of meat not a dish. I highly recomend it!!

Smoked Turkey Breast, frozen since Thanksgiving, with fried apples, and Colcannon with Spinach, 3 Bean salad, Heirloom Tomato.

My first attempt at Oven Fried Rice. The idea is that on a sheet pan it will crisp up a bit better,

Every time I BBQI am adding a bit more cauliflower less potato. I will buy Cauli like I do spuds now. It is so good fresh off the grill. What do you think?

Schaschlik is German street food, this chicken version I use German Curry like Catsup and brush the skewers. Ummmm try it!

Our Anniversary breakfast. This time with a table cloth at the local park. Fresh dill adds so much to cream cheese.....I can always taste the capers a month away.

21st time making poppers on May 5th our anniversary!

BBQ chicken on a plank and Hasselback Potatoes
watching my new geese family.

Love left over rye bread, I make Semmelknoedl (bread dumplings) and braised pork steak with paprika sauce.

My Grandma's Strudel
The dough is thrown on a board 100 times!
A German couple showed up at the hotel to enjoy, great timing!

Simple Shrimp Salad when I am feeling not very creative and it is already nearing 100 degrees here.

Teriyaki Chicken thighs, with fried rice on a bed of shredded cabbage. I didn't want to throw the shredded cabbage in with the rice it would virtually disappear.

What is your favorite Fajita Seasoning?
mine is lime, garlic, onion, cumin, and cilantro ..and beer or tequila.

Have you tried this trick? If your green onions have wilted put them in water and they come back...

German Spring is celebrated with Asparagus, often boiled egg and potato in a green herb sauce.

Love cooking over hot charcoal .....
Playing with marinades....different Tart, sweet and salty ingredients.

Chicken Tortilla Soup, Sort of like Pho ..lots of fresh condiments to add. I bet you all have your favorite toppers.

I am doing more egg dishes for this Easter Spring celebration time.
One I tried is a Monte Christo in the Air Fryer. This one I recommend.

Busy week so Easter dinner is on hold. I did make a simple salad with deviled eggs and fresh asparagus.

We love to celebrate Easter and spring with deviled eggs and asparagus! I bet you do too.

In 1980 I saw a chef do salmon with bbq sauce and mayo as a glaze. Since then I do hundreds of variations on it. Your fav salmon glaze?

I use to joke about the Yuppies in California that eat their Avocado toast. ...I guess I should be careful who I kid.
