Simple and fantastic. Boiled whole potatoes, cucumber/red onion salad, peas + corn, beans and sausage.

A summer staple, red onion and cucumber salad with capers here: https://caltemose.github.io/recipes/recipes/cucumber-and-onion-salad.html

Peas boiled. Then added to pan with corn sauteed with butter and a tiny bit of Wrecking Bar hot sauce from a few years back. Stellar and decadent.

A variation on quattro stagioni pizza. A little more than half the pizza covered in pepperoni with second half covered in sauteed mushrooms, olives, arugula...with scamorza.

Cooked on the grill with touch of grilled chicken.

So. Damn. Good.

Another recipe inspired by chili. Saute ground turkey with shallot and celery with chili powder, salt and pepper and two Thai chilis. Set aside.

Saute diced rutabaga, pepper, scallion, celery, and carrot. Dumped into pot and cooked with high collagen chicken broth and leftover tomato mixture from pureed stew remainders.

Sauteed mushrooms, deglazed with white wine.

Add mushrooms and turkey mixture to pot. Simmer for a bit, season with salt and pepper.

Quite good.

Small brussel sprouts from the farmers market cooked in olive oil and deglazed with chicken broth.

Chinese long beans and chicken breast sauteed in coconut oil. Then added chicken broth and gochujang and some thai chilis.

Served over basmati rice. Fantastic.

Egg Ham Biscuits

I made these egg/ham biscuits for my wife’s birthday. Biscuits are standard buttermilk biscuits but pushed flat to size them more like english muffins. For my tastes, the flat(ish) buttermilk biscuits are much better in this kind of a recipe than english muffins.

The purple daikon was sliced so thin I’m not sure I tasted it.

Yes that first photo is not well shot. Oh well.

Savory Pumpkin Pie

I wanted to make a pumpkin pie but we already had a sweet dessert (Apple Tart) so I decided to combine pumpkie pie with the ricotta pie I frequently make and turn it savory. This has:

roasted small pumpkin, smashed

ricotta

sautéed collards and onions

For the pie crust I used chicken broth instead of cold water and blind baked it.

An interesting experiment I’d repeat again. Slices of this are best for a pre-work breakfast.

Dried hot peppers from the garden including:

Egg Over Meatloaf

My current favorite breakfast: fried egg over a slice of leftover meatloaf. Today’s side = sautéed butternut squash. You’ll just have to take my word that there’s meatloaf under that egg. With or without the squash it’s a great light breakfast.

Personalized coffee cup supplied by the Bogota office.

Coconut Chicken Soup

This is by far the best version of this soup I’ve ever made and possibly the best soup I’ve ever made. So freakin’ good.

I didn’t have much chicken broth so I started by enhancing what I had.

Heat chicken broth - add 1:1 water, lemon grass (from the yard), dried porcini (definitely not from the yard) and celery.

Sautée in oil: carrots. Once carrots are mostly cooked add sliced okra with fresh ginger and pepper mashed in mortal/pestle, salt. Cook until okra mostly ready.

Sautée in oil: chicken with fresh ginger and pepper mash, salt. Strain broth, add coconut milk, salt. Test flavor.

Add sliced radishes Add cooked vegetables and chicken Add chopped scallions

Serve. So unbelievably good.

Potatoes in Broth

This is how you make leftover roasted potatoes taste fantastic.

Heated chicken broth and added a little leftover chicken drippings from smoked chicken from catered (at the office) Fox Bros BBQ smoked chicken, added potatoes plus some chopped celery and scallions. Added salt, pepper and dried pepper powder of Adolfo’s small red peppers (a small Italian variety of hot pepper I got from a relative).

Truly excellent repurpose of leftovers.

Made mayo the other day using this recipe with some adjustments:

sherry vinegar + apple/cider vinegar + lemon juice + mustard powder + black pepper

Best mayonnaise I’ve ever made.

Leftover meatballs and refried brussel sprouts over slow-cooked polenta.

Breakfast of fried eggs on sauteed spinach on sauteed turnips on fried leftover polenta with some leftover sauce from doro wat a few days earlier. Very good.
