Pantry-palooza collection of my hybrids

[electrycmonk]

Some of my Better-half’s amazing pasta sauce (from scratch) with chicken & roasted tomatoes was the main part of this concoction…

Added the large bag of veggies that had been frozen for quite some time.
Added a couple chicken Apple sausage that were the last of the bag(sliced up)
Added 2 cups of rice
And of course added the last of the curry blend of seasoning… hence the very yellowed tint to everything…

Waiting for it to cool
Off a wee bit…

Okay… it’s been a few minutes….

I went & did an instapot leftover stew:
— Some rotisserie chicken (deboned)
— Pulled pork
— 2 cans green beans
— 1 big can of mixed veggies
— 2 cups of homemade chicken broth (just finished defrosting)
— a small box of froze spinach & cheese ravioli

I routinely make GF yummies too.

Today, from the “meh. Sounds like a good idea at the time” files.
3 ingredients & 2 *seasonings

Instapot in slow oil mode…
1 lb Kroger ground pork
1 lb shaved pork (deli style still partially frozen)
1 large head of cabbage chopped up
~16-18oz of water

 

[electrycmonk]

Todays addition… just a combo of like 4 leftovers from the freezer.

Leftovers from the freezer, & a single pound of Kroger ground pork(manager special sticker) from at least a month ago
-/- leftover from a box of Zatarain’s “Red beans & rice” with a little pulled pork from at least June
-/- frozen veggies Normandy
-/- leftover steamed spinach & kale
-/- added a modest sprinkling of Tony’s Chachere’s original Creole seasoning
-/- added about 2/3 cup of water





… tossed in instapot “on slow cooker” for the majority of the day. Yes it slow cooked for 4hrs & kept “warm” for 9 hours before I got home to have some…..

Return to breakfast yummies

Bacon cooked “just enough”
And the hybrid pancake/waffles
Dubbed pan-ffle or more preference towards waff-cakes.

This batch is 50/50 GF & non-GF flour
(Ran outta GF flour)
6 eggs
A pre-mixed batch of my yogurt on steroids as the base for the waf-cakes.
1/3 strawberry yogurt
1/3 ricotta cheese
1/3 cottage cheese (large curd)
~4-6 bananas
~hand full of walnuts
~handful of frozen blue berries
(All in vitamix as a nicely purée blend before poured into powders.)
Added a bit of baking powder
And almond milk to the needed thickness to pour the batter correctly.

Trying an experiment I read on a Backyard chicken group….

Bacon fat soaked raw oats

They do this to give as a treat for their flock.
I’m okay that’s cool so it’s not drained down the sink or throw away… then while it’s soaking I thought, ”wait…. The fat soaked in oats, mixed with sausage and other stuff to make a meat loaf, or accent to an omelet? Or add to a stew? Or add to some pasta sauce or lasagna?

Hot oatmeal reboot!

Oatmeal in hot water to soak overnight with ~3/4” thick pad of butter

Just now added
~1.5 tsp turmeric
6-7 shakes of cinnamon
~1/8th tsp of black pepper
~1/16 tsp cayenne pepper
~1/6 tsp smoked paprika
Some honey to sweeten “just enough above the cayenne.”

The *warmth* can be nicely felt all the way into the stomach.
