Still trying new recipes

Tonight's dinner was vegetarian burritos, made with pinto beans. I'm gonna recommend that you use canned ones; the cooked ones were a little dry, so we just used tofu sour cream and salsa to make up for it.

We used the chili lime seasoning that Trader Joe's carries (again, why no TJ's in Memphis???) and chipotle Tabasco. And all was right with the world.

And then, for dessert, we had these little babies. They were nom nom nom good. Dan says that they still need icing, but hell - it's chocolate.

I cut them into 16 rather than 12, and they are about 55 calories each (for those who count that).

I told Dan that I was spending more time in the kitchen than I was born to do, and even he is getting a little fatigued with the cooking required. I see making reservations for dinner on the horizon! :)

Meat substitute?

On our last visit to the international market here, we got some King Oyster Mushrooms. When I looked them up, I read about them being a great meat substitute, so I immediately became interested, in spite of their appearance.  That is about 10 inches long. You slice it, marinate it (we used a mix of mirin and tamari), and cook it in a skillet, then serve it over rice, which now only comes in brown at our house. We also stir-fried some other veggies to go with it.  The result was not meat-like, although had the potential to be tasty. I think grilling might work better, but it's in the teens here, so I think that will need to wait another day or two.  I have also pulled the dehydrator back into regular use. Slices of mango sprinkled with chia do well. I also like Asian Pears. I do not like red beets, but made some beet chips for Vicki because I am a wonderful person who will gladly pass the beets off to someone else. Hold the humanitarian awards for someone else. Ha

Looks are deceiving

So dinner looked promising: It was not.  Abject failure. I withdraw my earlier comments about the Minimalist Baker. The "mozzarella" was something akin to Elmer's. We put so much Tiger Sauce on it our lips burned - but so we couldn't taste it that way. The remainder was disposed of appropriately. Nothing to add to this. Fail.
