Baltimorewx Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Love seeing all the food posts in here. It all looks excellent yall. Ive been trying to eat better and more "clean" for several months now but you can still have some pretty good meals that are relatively healthy as by example in this topic. That said, vegan chicken is NOT good lol...had it for lunch today, it basically tastes and feels like chewing rubber. I can do the beyond/impossible burgers and some vegan pork bbq, but the chicken is a no go for me! I only had it btw because my GF bought it yet she wont eat it so itll go to waste so why she buys it ill never know Back to regular cluckers it is 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Burger King offer one? I've been meaning to try it, but I need to go like a whole DAY without eating before tackling a Whopper anymore.

They do and its ok, but we prefer buying ones at the market (Sprouts market to be specific) and season it up ourselves and put different toppings on it. The other day we had them with desert heat seasoning, tomato, avocado and mayo and chili ketchup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Had a little trip to Tampa with the wife and had some really good food while we were there. I’ll post a few of my fav from the tripRibeye Oscar from Del Frisco’s Grille Tacos Barria from Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Chicken and Waffles with strawberry compound butter from Metro Diner The last one was my favorite bite of the whole trip. The chicken was absolutely dynamite. Best fried chicken I’ve had from a non-fast food spot. I’ll have to remember to take pictures of food I cook next time. I keep forgetting. Keep posting the wonderful food y’all . 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Their barrel-aged stouts are so good, but four hours later and my stomach is an absolute shambles. Need to start trading some of these for bourbons... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on the smoker, but I cut chicken breasts into strips, grill them, then chop and toss them in the skillet with olive oil and the mix and it makes a mean Greek flavored chicken. Get some good NAAN with the taziki, hummus, cucumbers and tomatoes and its a crowd pleaser. On 5/5/2021 at 8:49 PM, poolz1 said: I use cinnamon quite a bit in my rubs and a lot of seasonings. Its all personal preference, obviously. I think it really adds another dimension to the flavor of beef especially. That chicken looks awesome! Ive been on a spatchcock chicken kick here recently on charcoal the grill.... Cinnamon is a hidden gem when it comes to rubs and spice mixes. It is used mostly in Mediterranean but I have used it in Spanish and Mexican spice rubs as well. Making a quiche… put in some Nutmeg. Elevates the overall taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Have forgotten to post some of the things we had over the last few days. Top is shrimp and Broccoli. Bottom is a Mexican layer dip. Older Miss J does not like guacamole. She likes Avocados so this dip uses an avocado Greek yogurt dip. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Especially in Spanish and Mexican dishes. One of my favorites is pork tacos from leftover pulled pork. Cook in the cast iron, constantly deglazing, adding spices, squeezing lime juice. Pork get crispy and so flavorful...the cinnamon works well with it. Crispy pork tacos are one of my favorites and I am usually forcing myself to stop eating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Because of the originally forecasted cool-ish, semi-washout yesterday (which, of course, failed to materialize...thanks, NWS!), Mrs. V asked if we could stay in for Mothers Day and if I'd instead make brunch for her and the youngest offspring living in Arlington. I obliged -- whipped up a batch of Betty Crocker's morning crowd pleaser, Impossibly Easy Breakfast Bake, and then picked up on Saturday a fresh loaf of Great Harvest Bread's Xtreme Cinnamon Swirl bread to make her personal fave, French toast. Oh, and maybe a mimosa (or two). She never wants to eat "heavier" stuff like this, so I was happy to make it for her...and because she's an awesome mom, too. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 22 hours ago, Eskimo Joe said: Got a recipe? Actually threw this one together. 4 split chicken breasts. 1 TBSP each of dried rosemary, oregano, basil, and course salt. 1tsp garlic powder and onion powder and a healthy pinch of pepper. Mix together the spices. Coat chicken with olive oil then toss with herb mix. Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Roast at 425 for 40-50 min. For salad cut up cucumbers cherry tomatoes put in feta and I used Greek dressing but have just used Balsamic Vinegar in the past. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
