Recipe time!
James has been sick with an unspecified Plague. What makes plague sufferers feel better? A great big batch of electrichobbit's Internationally-renowned Chicken and Dumplings.
The recipe is here- and it takes substitutions well. My loathing for cooked carrots is well known* - I usually toss in random frozen veggies instead.
While I'm at it, here are some other recipes:
Gyudon- Japanese beef bowl. Good way to get rid of leftover pot roast, just slice it up and skip the boiling step.
Super Moist Pumpkin Bread
Chipotle Macaroni and Cheese - This is amazing. And probably amazingly bad for me. I haven't made it since I've started counting calories; I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop at a reasonable portion size.
All of the recipes I've tried from the Homesick Texan have been good, actually. Especially since I sometimes feel like an exile in a land without Mexican food or Southern cooking.
Anyone have any favourite recipes that they might like to share? Bonus points for low calorie and/or veggie-based dishes.
*There is now one exception to my no-cooked-carrots policy: gajar halwa. Apparently Indian cuisine works miracles. Some Indian dishes can also make cilantro almost tolerable.
