Recipes. - joneworlds@mailbox.org I'm not one of those people who really knows about cooking and food. And I can't really tell good food from less good food. "That's edibile" is what I say when it's good enough. This file has some stuff that's edible. I got lots of others, I'll get around to typing them in here one day. I add one in here every few weeks or whatever. I probably got most of these from elsewhere at some point, but I can't keep track of that stuff. Besides, I probably changed them anyways, took out all the stuff they don't have for cheap at Save-Mor. Or at all. Sardines and tomatoes. Well now that most of the fish are extinct, sardines are the only ones I can still get cheap in a can. But that's okay, because I like 'em. Sure, my kids side-eye me and mutter about me being stinky and hold their noses as obviously as they can, but they don't even know what they're missing. I would always eat them mashed on toast with vinegar, but here's a different way: Clean one can of sardines, squeeze juice from half a lemon over them. Combine pinch of salt, some pepper, 1/4 tsp cayenne powder, 1/2 tsp dry basil, 1/2 tsp dry thyme, 1/2 tsp onion powder, a chopped up garlic clove. Sprinkle all that over the lemony sardines. Chop about 4 sun-dried tomatoes from the jar into small bits, to make 2 tbsp. Distribute that and about 1 tbsp of capers on top of the seasoned sardines. All done, eat it. Super-great flapjacks. Well I sure love pancakes of all kinds, and I've been experimenting with non-wheat ones lately. This one I really like. In fact I think I like them better than any pancakes I ever made. I can't go back to fluffy white whatevers afer this. My search is over. This is it. Done. oat flour, cornmeal, no-gluten flour (or white wheat flour), oat milk, vanilla, sugar, salt, canola oil, egg, baking powder. Heat up skillet or griddle as usual for pancakes. Mix dry ingredients: 1/4 cup oat flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup no-gluten flour (or maybe 1/3 cup regular white flour), 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp baking powder. Beat together 1 egg, 1 cup oat milk, 2 tbsp canola oil, 1/2 tsp vanilla. (No extra vanilla needed if you already got that vanilla-flavored kind of oat milk). Combine it all. Should be a fairly thin batter. Pour it thin, and cook 60-90 seconds per side. Makes about 4 or 5 pancakes. I just want to say that not all oat milk is equal. Some brands are really tasty. Some are really really not. What's the deal with that. Corn bread. non-dairy milk of some sort, margarine, or butter or oil, cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, egg. Oven to 375. Put 2 tbsp margarine/butter/oil in 9" square baking dish to melt. Mix 1 1/2 cups cornmeal, 1/2 cup flour (maybe 1/4 if using very finely ground non-wheat flour), 1 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp sugar. Mix together 1 1/4 cup non-dairy milk, 1 tbsp vinegar, beat one egg. Combine all together. Pour into 9" baking dish full of melted margarine. Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Teriaki sauce. As a sauce, or a marinade. Put all stuff below into a pot and bring to boil, then low to simmer for 4 minutes. Cool completely for marinade. 1/2 cup braggs or soy sauce 1/4 cup brown suger 1 tsp ginger powder 1/8 tsp garlic powder 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp seasame oil 1 tbsp vinegar 1/4 cup water + 3 tsp cornstarch - but not for marinade Oat flour biscuits. These taste good, and also are low in FODMAP. Which they say is good if you have stuff going on with your digestion. Oat flour, salt, baking soda, oil, maple syrup or sugar, eggs, lemon. Preheat oven to 350. Mix up 2 cups oat flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Beat 2 eggs with 1/4 cup oil and 6 tbsp maple syrup and 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and mix it up with the dry stuff. Let it all sit for 5 minutes to thicken up. Glob spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Bake 12-14 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Popovers. This one is super simple. I make them for supper for my kids sometimes. They are both very picky eaters, maybe even problem eaters, I am not clear. But even they'll eat these, and help me make them. Eggs, flour, margarine or butter, milk of some kind, salt, muffin cups. Put the oven to 350F. You beat two eggs with a cup of milk or something like it, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add a cup of flour and beat until smooth. Then melt 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter in the microwave. I don't know, 30 seconds. Put paper muffin liners inside a usual 12-muffin tray, and use a paintbrush or pastry brush or something to brush the insides of those papers with quite a lot of the butter. Then pour the batter into the 12 cups, and make for 30 minutes. When you take them out, immediately poke them all with a fork. It sounds useless, but I think it's really important. Then after they cool a couple of minutes, take them out of the papers. Usually this is easy. Occasionally this is extremely difficult, and I don't know why. Maybe I forgot the fork-poking thing. Anyways, you can dip them in jam or pancake syrup or something, or just eat them on their own. Minestrone Soup. This one is good because it uses some big cans of stuff, and you use one half of them. You can make it again a few days later with the other half of those cans. Or I guess you can just double this and make one huge pot of soup. I don't think my pot can handle that, though. Onion, zucchini, carrot, celery, spinach, olive oil, white beans, kidney beans, canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, bouillon, italian seasoning, small pasta. In a big pot or skillet, heat up 2 tbsp of oil. Cut up one big-ish carrot into small pieces, also three celery sticks, and half an onion chopped up fine, and one zucchini into half-inch chunks. When the oil is hot enough, saute all that for about 5 minutes. Add 4 cups of broth or bouillon or something, half of a big can (750ml) of tomatoes. Also half of a big can of white beans, half of a big can of kidney beans. I would rinse those off first. And half of a small (125ml) can of tomato paste. And 2 tsp of italian seasoning. Mix it all around real good, and get it bubbling. Add half a cup of pasta, like macaroni elbows or something. Maybe even up to a full cup. Cover and turn that down to low. Simmer that for like 12 minutes until the pasta seems soft. Chop up a few handfuls of spinach and heat for another 2 minutes or so. Done. Or I guess you can add some chopped cooked sausage or something like that. Anyways, it'll be even tastier tomorrow after it's been in the fridge a while. Turkey tetrazini. This one is great for using up leftover turkey. When I was a kid, we used to call this Christmas Spaghetti. Because you can use spaghetti for it instead of noodles. Noodles or pasta, cooked turkey, can of mushroom soup, cream cheese or sour cream or milk, butter or margarine, salt, pepper. Cook the noodles first. One of those 320g bags of egg noodles will do. Drain them and mix in 2 tbsp of butter or margarine. Set the oven to 375. Chop up cold turkey into 2 cups of little bits. Mix up the noodles, turkey, can of soup, 1 cup of sour cream (or 1/2 cup cream cheese and 1/2 cup milk, or 1 cup milk), 1 tsp salt, some pepper. Mix that all up real good in a big skillet or casserole dish. Bake that for 25 minutes. Eat it. It's really really good. Salmon burgers. An egg, canned salmon, breadcrumbs, onion. Chop up, like I don't know, an 1/8 of an onion? Then you want one of those "short" cans of salmon, the 200g ones. Pick all the bones out of that, and mash it up with the onion and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and a beaten egg. Squeeze that into four small patties, which are great if you tend to buy those cheap little supermarket buns. And then fry them on an oiled skillet at medium-low for about 5 minutes each side until browned. Eat them. Applesauce bread. Margarine, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, brown sugar, flour, applesauce, eggs. Preheat oven to 350 F. Get a big bowl. Then you beat 2 eggs in there, add 8 tablespoons of soft margarine or whatever, and 1/4 cup (maybe 1/3) brown sugar. Mash that all up until smooth and gooey. Then 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup applesauce, mix again. Then add 2 cups of whatever flour you got, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Mix it all up real good. Maybe put in some seeds or nuts or raisins or something, if you like that. And then pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 65 minutes. Let it cool a while. Then eat it. Lentil & bean soup. Olive oil, red split lentils, black beans, onions, carrots, a bouillon cube, tomato sauce, spinach; paprika, cumin, thyme, bay leaf, salt. Peel a carrot and chop it up into little bits. Open up a normal size can of black beans (the 390ml can, not the big fat can) and rinse them off in a colander. Mix up the spices: 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 3/4 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 bay leaves. Then you chop up half an onion real small, soften that up in 2 tbsp olive oil for a few minutes in a big skillet on medium. Add the chopped carrot into the skillet, and the can of beans, and 1/3 cup red split lentils, and like 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, and 4 cups of water, and crumble up the bouillon cube in there. And dump in all those spices you mixed up. Heat it up, cover and simmer all that for 20 minutes. Take out the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender on that whole deal until it's smooth. Chop up 1 cup of spinach, throw it in and cook for another couple of minutes. Eat it.
