Running Mania

Thanks!!

Tonight we are having chicken burgers and curry vegetable barley soup. Haven't tried this soup before, I pulled the recipe out of a magazine while I was sitting at the dentist's office this afternoon.- it smells good!

ETA- Major yum, liked it very much. The boys? not so much. Drives me crazy trying to get these two to eat new things. Freaking heck!! I should have known that the second I put spinach in the soup it was over for them. Oh well. Their loss.

Red Lentil Thai Chili with a side of Roasted Garlic and Cracked Pepper Batard.

Both were delicious. If anybody makes the chili, be sure to use at least a 4L/4 Quart pot as my chili was about 2.5cm from the top of my 4L pot.

Yep, read that as Cracked Pepper Bas tard

It wasn't until I got it home that I realized that it wasn't that!

Bought a turkey breast - I've cooked lots of turkeys but never just the breast. I have a Michael Smith on the BBQ recipe but it seems a bit complicated for my mood today . Suggestions?

Allie- you can roast the breast the same way you'd roast a while turkey- it just takes less time.

Mix up some maple syrup and olive oil (equal parts, probably 1/4 cup each), throw in a tbsp of dijon and a clove of garlic, and salt and pepper. Whisk together and pour over the breast for as long as you can before dinner, then roast. Baste it with some of the sauce as well (you may want to leave a bit aside for this). Very easy and yummy!

Hmmmm... I wonder what Grey Cup dinner will be at my brother's place tonight. All I know is I'm not cooking it.

Mmm - this sounds really good - LOVE maple syrup! I ended up just mixing olive oil w/ some garlic/cracked pepper rub, basting it and roasting it w/ a bit of water in the pan. I used some fresh cranberries to make a sauce and served it w/ garlic mashed potatoes, baked squash and a garden salad. Yummy and much easier than the big bird! Unfortunately, dinner was rushed b/c of my son's hockey game! There should be a ban on Sunday activities at supper time!

Turkey in the oven for half time. It smells great.

I made croques Monsieur for supper. It was really good!!

I was just talking about Croque-Monsieur with someone last night!

Actually, that's not true... I was talking Monte Cristo. But I think they're the same thing, right?

Croques Monsieur is ham and cheese sandwich covered with Mornay sauce and baked in the oven

Monte Cristo is ham, ( and sometimes turkey) and cheese sandwich that is dipped in egg and then fried

I had a Monte Cristo at brunch with Marg when she was here a few weeks ago. I've never had a Croque Monsieur (or Madame, for that matter).

I've never had a monte Cristo -dipped in egg =

But the CM was really nummy. I'm not sure how the fried egg would work tho.

It might not be Mornay sauce - cheese sauce anyhow whatever that is called.

I used this recipe

I also really like this. It's sort of a quick easy variation of CM (with no cheese sauce) I usually make it with mozzarella since I hadn't tried gruyere until yesterday

It's a French Toast Ham & Cheese sandwich. If you don't like French Toast then no, you won't like Monte Cristo.

That looks delish...on my list to try in the next couple weeks!

I think the last time I had a Monte Cristo was in 1st Year University. I lived in residence and the cafeteria often served them for lunch (once a week it seemed), that I got sick of them rather quickly. I can`t seem to stomach the thought of trying one now. But I do like Croque-Monsieur, again it`s been a while since I had one too.

I made a dish tonight using spaghetti squash and I really enjoyed it.

my mom has made that. She's also done it with acorn squash and a ground beef/rice/veggies stuffing. Soooooo good. Minus the jalapeno.

I made "beer" can chicken in the oven. I didn't have a can of beer, so I used hard cider instead. I made a rub with salt, pepper, minced garlic, lemon zest, fresh thyme and olive oil. Yum!

Baked Turkey Scallopini with Panko breadcrumbs.

Here's a low-cal version of a schnitzel-type main course. I used turkey breast that had been thinly sliced/pounded (bought it that way, but you could do it yourself). You could use any type of meat you have or like (pork, veal, turkey, chicken).

Preheat oven to 400F.

Slather Dijon mustard all over the slices of turkey, then coat in seasoned Panko breadcrumbs (the mustard helps the breadcrumbs to stick). Bake for 15-20 min (depending on how thick the meat is) until cooked through. I cooked mine on a wire rack so that it would brown on all sides simultaneously and didn't need to flip them over. You could also cook them on a greased baking sheet.

You could use the same method to make baked chicken fingers. Alternately, you could also coat the meat in mayonnaise (rather than mustard) but that would up the calorie count a bit.

There is an old WW recipe that is almost identical for a turkey or chicken Cordon Bleu. I should dig it out. This sounds yummy
