Food on Friday ~ With Friends

By jackcollier7 on February 5, 2021 | 1 Comment

one should not merely eat to live

Life should be fun, filled with enjoyment, good friends, good times, and great memories. Too much of our mealtimes today are snatched, eaten on the run, filled with convenience food, fast food, and takeouts. And, in all honesty, too many of my meals are from a can or the freezer, and eaten alone. I guess that’s a lockdown thing.

Let’s see if we can change that lonely, bland, and unhealthy life for the better. Let’s taste our food again.

Despite having spent quite a lot of time in Southern California I’ve never had anything like these Queso Fundido Taquitos ~ from Tieghan at Half Baked Harvest. Served with avocado lime crema.

I’ve never had a Chicken Sheet Pan Quesadilla either. This from Ali at Gimme Some Oven. Easy, delicious, perfect to share with friends.

Tiffany at Creme de la Crumb has this very nice-looking recipe for Sweet and Spicy Thai Chicken. It’s a 45 minute dish, but I think most people I know could spend a very relaxing hour making this yummy concoction.

Joy the Baker says these Mediterranean Salmon Parcels are a weeknight dinner. I think you could serve this recipe to your friends any time. I really like cooking in foil.

Another seafood dish, this time from Chungah at Damn Delicious; Brown Butter Scallops. Quick, easy, and very healthy. You could serve this with rice, salad, or just some crusty bread.

It turns out that over in the USA it’s about to be Super Bowl Sunday. Ergo our collection this week is from Jessica Merchant at How Sweet Eats; 21 Favourite Recipes for Superbowl Sunday. From her collection I’ve chosen to feature a Caesar Salad with Pizza Croutons ~ very pretty.

Food on Friday ~ Thanksgiving

By jackcollier7 on November 25, 2020 | 4 Comments

there is always something for which to be thankful

Well, it’s Wednesday not Friday, but there wouldn’t be much point in my publishing some Thanksgiving recipes the day after the event. So forgive my erroneous title, it’s for a good cause.

You know that we don’t have Thanksgiving here in England, and that some of the things you serve make no sense to me; candied yams for one. Yet, part of me wishes we did have a Thanksgiving feast in the dark months before Christmas.

There is at least one earlier Thanksgiving post here, you can click on the link of you’d like to see last year’s dishes. Also check out my November 13th post Food on Friday ~ Mid Autumn.

Have a very happy day tomorrow.

So, first up this week we have a Candied Yams recipe from Lena Abraham at Delish magazine. (I don’t believe I’ve ever had yams…..)

This is another dish I really don’t get, but I understand goes down very well on the Thanksgiving board. From Gimme Some Oven; The Best Green Bean Casserole. This dish is also really healthy. Enjoy.

All great meals need a light appitiser that one can also use as a snack with drinks if friends call around. Jessica Merchant at How Sweet Eats has this very easy recipe for Smoky Chipotle Cheddar Twists. I just know these will disappear fast…..

One of the most critical things about a turkey dinner is the gravy. Ergo from Chungah at Damn Delicious we have; How To Make the Best Turkey Gravy. Looks good to me.

To start off your Thanksgiving day with a very seasonal holiday breakfast we have these Easy Fluffy Eggnog Cinnamon Rolls from Tieghan Gerard at Half Baked Harvest. These would also go well as a dessert with coffee after dinner.
