New in my kitchen is this dough press my son and his lady friend sent
recently. I was hoping to show you how it's used in this post but that
will come later on. It's meant to help me make empanadas and I can't
wait.
Recently I made
enchiladas and when I do, there is always a leftover bit of refried black beans
and cheese. My plan is to make a few cheesy bean and green onion
empanadas but it had to wait a few days. Coming up soon.....
Tristan also sent this seasoning mix from Omaha Steak company. I
sprinkled some on the chicken I used in the aforementioned enchiladas and it
was very good. I see using this seasoning in a variety of dishes.
New brand of beans! These are sooooo good. They were recommended by
my brother-in-law and was he ever correct. The flavorings are a combo
I want to try when I soak beans. There is garlic, olive oil, vinegar,
wine and more. Hoping I can duplicate it.
My eggplant fix. Nothing special, we all know how t make eggplant
parm. I was hoping I'd get my act together and make a bread sturdy enough to
have an eggplant parm sub...but I didn't. This made a fine lunch and
two dinners.
Everything Bagel is a seasoning from Trader Joe's store. I'm not
sure if I shared this before. It's good on roasted potatoes and
sprinkled on bread dough prior to baking.
That's it for today. I'll be staying in to avoid the heat, reading and planning lunch. We've already had second breakfast so I need a meal plan to look forward to.
It's a nice way to see what other folks across the globe have in their
kitchens and hear some news. It's a great way to visit....especially
these days.
You seem to have made a very good start to your day! I hope you won't be too hot & sticky. I like your empanada press. I think maybe I saw one (or something similar) being used in an episode or two of the latest Street Food, which was all about Latin America and featured a variety of empanadas.
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mae, we have such a thoughtful son as he knows we like Kitchen gadgets. It wasn't something I'd seen before. I can also make cute little fruit pies!
DeleteI like that dough press! I've never tried or made Empanadas but I think I'd like them. The beans sound good too so I'll look for them the next time I go to the store. I love Everything Bagel. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteVicki, I havent tried that press yet but I'm hoping to for the next Weekend Cooking linkup. I hope you are having a great week.
DeleteOooh, eggplant parm. YES! I know what I'm making for dinner.
ReplyDeleteDebra, it's one of my favorites!

Sherry, its always a pleasure to join up and see what is other folks' kitchen. Its another way of armchair traveling.
DeleteI love Everything But the Bagel, but had no idea it was good on potatoes or bread dough. Thanks for the tip!!
ReplyDeleteLess, it can be used on just about anything by utbug makes a pretty sight on baked bread.
DeleteThose seasonings sound fab! I have a dough press which I have used once. I should drag it out and use it again. I've popped in via #IMK and thought I would let you know that International Scone Week is coming up soon. It would be great if you could take part.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Tandy. I didn't know about Scone Week.
Deletehahahahahaha I have those dough presses -- I haven't used them in ages though. Now I want to use them.
ReplyDeleteI use the Trader Joe seasoning when I make my Weight Watcher's bagels. I love the idea of putting them on potatoes. My daughter in law puts it on salmon before cooking. The dough press looks like a fun gadget to have.
ReplyDeleteThat Trader Joe seasoning can go on so many things and it bumps up the flavor. Never thought about on salmon, sounds good.
DeleteI recently bought a tortilla press and used it once! Those beans sound better than the usual run of the mill we get.
ReplyDeleteJackie, if you can get that brand I think you will like them. They are so good.
