I think this is one of the threads I miss the most...so much inspiration from everyones ideas and knowledge....whats cooking tonight people?

I have a beef brisket in the crock pot with onions and garlic. I made whole wheat buns with rye, oat flour, quinoa and flax seed meal added in the dough. Thought it would make a good sandwich. I'll serve quinoa on the side. Not sure how it's going to turn out. Haven't worked with quinoa much but I'm going to add black-eyed peas, cilantro, jalapeno and some seasonings to it.

Danielle, that sounds awesome.
Today I had to spent some time preparing for tomorrows cook out. So I made a huge batch of rice for stir fried rice. I used part of it for a fried rice tonight. First some garlic, ginger root, onions, bacon and beans, then hot pepper, ground five spices, soy sauce and a bit of water and finally the rice.

The one I intend to make tomorrow is going to look like this one

The bacon will be replaced by chicken and cashews and the beans with a variety of other veggies like leeks, carrots, bean sprouts etc.
Then there will be spare ribs braised in soy sauce, sugar, wine and vinegar with ginger and I think I'm going to make a salad with bean sprouts and bell pepper

Thanks for starting this thread, Danielle!
You're right, I miss everybody talking about what's for dinner!

Your brisket sounds yummy.... and that bread! Mmmm.

Fan, you always get us with you food pictures! Your stir-fry sounds so simple and looks so good. I never think to cook like that... I have to try!

Hey there:

Forgot all about this thread.
Thanks Danielle

Made a pork roast in the crock pot a few weeks ago & cut off a big piece to freeze & make pulled pork later. I think it is later.....will thaw it out & have pulled pork & french fries for dinner. Sounds like an easy Saturday meal.

Danielle, I never get to be that creative with dough, unless it's puff pastry Laughing

And as far as the big meats go, I still need to buy a slow cooker or a crock pot.
Nubbins, last year when I was in Toronto I had my first pulled pork sandwich

I liked the taste of it and I still have to find out how to prepare it my self.
Martha, stir fried rice is easy to do. Just keep in mind that you use unsalted cooked rice for it.

Fan, for pulled pork, you slow roast a pork shoulder (aka boston butt), in a warm oven 275' f (is that about 135' C?) for hours and hours...5 - 7 depending on the weight. I season it with what ever seasonings smell good to me that day (salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, etc etc). I add some liquid....broth...some beer sometimes. The liquid doesn't need to cover the meet...maybe halfway or so? and cover it pot with a lid or tin foil. It's simple. Once done and cooled some, it should pull apart with a fork Smile

then you can smother it with bbq sauce

Is it really that simple. I definitely should pester my butcher on a colder day and try it out. I like the idea of the beer added. Thanks Danielle Very Happy
