I opened my mouth over the summer and told the wife I’d start handling the majority of the cooking around here. Been knocking out some tasty things and finally feeling comfortable in the kitchen and loving it!
anyways, knocked out a chicken cacciatore tonight. Used a recipe I got years ago from an old timer I used to work with. It was his grandmother’s from the “old country.” Turned out great!

Wow that looks good. Loved my grandmother's cacciatore growing up
Got crafty with a more Bolognese style sauce than what I normally make yesterday. We got some carrots, celery, onions, garlic, ground beef/pork and bacon in this concoction. I also used some milk and heavy cream to thicken it further. Very tasty....but oh so filling

Yum! I got myself a pasta maker a while ago and have been making pasta like crazy, so much that I needed a break lol I made a bread this weekend, and I used pulverized dehydrated homegrown tomatoes and nasturtium for the green and brownish layer. Yellow was with turmeric. You couldn't really taste the nasturtium but the tomato powder is quite amazing. I plan on using it also for extra oomph in tomato sauces.
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

That bread looks amazing and so pretty. I am a decent cook but have no baking skills at all. The only time I ever tried to make bread it was so dense and heavy it could have been used as a doorstop. Completely inedible. I never tried to make bread again except for cornbread (which actually did come out ok).
jerparker20 could you post the recipe for the multi-swirl bread?
I made a split pea soup. I should do that more often. I used the cooking water, the aquafaba, from cooking black beans and the soup was darker, oops, but it was very good. I added vegan sausage. I was looking to make the soup have different textures, but it was an ok addition. If I liked sweet potatoes that would be an option, but I'm not there, yet. Maybe russet potatoes? I'm still working on options. I should cook split pea soup more often. It's comforting.

Ma'am, do you happen to possess a picture of said split pea soup that you would like to share with the group?
looking for a pea soup/lentil soup recipe. I've been doing this one so need a new one. I even did an Indian type w the coconut that was great but need one wout the fat.
Here it is
1 med onion yellow or white 3" grated fresh ginger 6 garlic cloves minced 2 tablespoons turmeric red pepper flakes pinch or more depending on your spice level 10 stalks of celery chopped 6-8 good sized carrots chopped and peeled bag of red lentils better than bullion cilantro for garnish lime or lemon squeeze on top
Rinse and strain Lentils. keep aside.
chop up veggies, onion, celery, carrots and spray pot or use dash of oil to sautee. About 8 min. Pinch of salt to bring out the flavors in veggies.
Add garlic, turmeric, ginger and pepper for an additional minute.
Add water. I use a 2 gal pot or so and fill water up 7/8 of the way. Turn on high.
Add better than bullion to taste. Add lentils and stir to separate lentils.
Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes.
You can place in a blender if u like but I like the consistency as is.
Pour in a bowl, place chopped cilantro on top and squeeze some fresh citrus on it and enjoy.

Yes I don’t mind vegetarian soups! But split pea with ham hock is on another level

The soup I made is not photogenic, but I'll figure something out.
