That is the prettiest food, Def!

Thanks! It was really tasty and very low calorie. I will add it to the cookbook tomorrow

Pepper Lime Chicken made on Monday. I got to use the broiler for the first time! Served with brown rice and green beans

 

Tuesday was italian beef. My dad really liked this. I just ate it without a bun and had watermelon and zucchini with it.

 

Today is Fruit Smoothie: 1 yogurt container, a couple handfuls of frozen strawberries and peaches and 4oz orange juice. I have a sore throat that if it doesn't get better may mean a collection of smoothie recipes

Thanks to the batch cooking rule amendment, here are recipes 2 and 3.  1 main course and new side dish Although the side dish could be a main dish on it's own. I modified it and cut some of the chicken and added more veggies so it would complement the sweet and sour chicken better.

You know, we're going to have a nice Doodlies Cookbook when we're all done with this :-)

I did about 5 mins searching for a printing company to possibly make it into a physical book for everyone.

That's a really lovely idea!

That's because this is the best group EVER!

 

[Raze]

That's a really lovely idea! 

 

I can see a few hurdles this could take. It could get very expensive very quickly (depending on how many pages and books are needed). and collecting monies from around the world. plus if we keep this group going we could end up with hundreds of recipes.

Maybe we could do a blog then?

it could also be printed individually right?   I should be able to print a color copy and take it to Kinko's or the equivalent to have it bound I would think.

I like the idea of a blog, a book, or maybe a downloadable file on google drive? We have a lot of options

Okay, first one of the week for me. It's a basic salad, but Spookyfoot has inspired me with some of her incredible salad pics, and since I rarely (if ever) eat only salad, it's a win.

 

Iceberg lettuce, grated carrot, chopped red cabbage, sliced cucumber, sliced tomato, sliced hard boiled egg, pickled beetroot, salami, thin sliced honey roast ham, and crumbled feta. I drizzled over a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice and mixed herbs.

 

Pic 2 will be coming shortly - it's a dessert, which I won't be having. I'm making it for SomeWifeFromScotland because sharks and communists.

Gotta placate those pesky communists!

All that food looks so yummy.

 

We are the droolies!

A doodlie blog.

We're so awesome

Not the best pic, but here's #2. I don't think this actually has a name, but I once saw somebody knock it out quickly on "Ready Steady Cook" in 1999, and it's been SomeWifeFromScotland's favourite dessert ever since. It tastes more decadent than it actually is.

 

 

The ingredients couldn't be simpler. Fat free fromage frais and a good sized bar of white chocolate. I shave off some of the white chocolate, and melt the rest in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. Spoon the melted chocolate into the fromage frais and fold it all together in whatever you want to serve it in - above is a whisky glass, sometimes I'll be fancy and use my wine glasses. Sprinkle the white chocolate shavings over the top, and dust with a little cocoa powder. Whack it in the fridge, bish bash bosh.

 

I'll do a few more challenging (and time-consuming, which is my biggest enemy midweek) dishes at the weekend.

That sounds so delicious!

Mine's more like cauliflower couscous in terms of texture but it definitely got cooked enough. I think there's probably a compromise between rice-like appearance and how much/quickly it gets cooked. 

[Raze]

Mine is more like couscous as well. I could try pulsing it in my ninja blender less next time. I love the idea that I can has ALL THE RICE products without having the carbs

[deftona]

Does it taste like cauliflower at all? Because that is the only vegetable I hate. I made some once and it definitely tasted of cauliflower but I am wondering if I might have ballsed it up?

[Raze]

i've been talking about trying this with the wife for months and never did it because she HATES cauliflower. Well I did it and pretty you're either eating my stir-fry or you will have to cook something else. (I didn't really say that, I'm dense at times, but not stupid). She liked it. She said she would have rather had actual rice, but it was a decent alternative because the taste was quite mild. I like it as a replacement since the cauliflower taste is mild to me to begin with. It is kind of like tofu in a way which it takes on the flavors you cook it with. As with all things taste your dish to make sure you have the seasoning right.
