👩🏻🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY Several days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who has limited mobility.
We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁
Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.
Cooking for her today: Indian Butter Chicken w Rice I am also taking her Pot Roast I made and some of the Split Pea Soup I made today.
🍚 INSTANT POT RICE Cooked in @mychefiq 6Q Smart Cooker Pot in Pot method – 1c water in main pot liner Place smaller pot on trivet stand with rice + liquid
Depending on how soft you like your rice – liquid ratio will vary from 1:1 for a firm rice and 1:1½ for a softer rice. I like to use stock but you can just use water.
Long Grain White Rice 8min / Low Pressure / Quick Release
▪️ Duck Egg (local farm / yolk only) ▪️ Pepper Jack Cheese ▪️ Canadian Bacon ▪️ Lemonaise Light Mayo
▪️Honeydew Melon ▪️Tajin Chili Lime Seasoning

🍲 CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS w CAESAR SALAD ▪️ Homemade Chicken & Dumplings ▪️ Caesar Salad Chopped Kit 🆕 👎🏼 ▪️ Bacon Ranch Tuna 🆕 👎🏼
Soup was good but I forgot about freezing potato based things and the Gnocchi was kinda gritty reheated. I would either only make enough to not freeze next time or add it when serving instead. Most people wouldn’t even notice but I have a bit of texture sensitivity.
🆕 I was not a big fan of the tuna or salad – they were okay but wouldn’t buy either again.
DAILY MEAL HIGHLIGHTS 🌞 Good morning 🌞 gentle friends! Let’s get this day started…
———————
🧮 DAILY CALORIE TARGET – 1500 ** I generally eat 2 meals a day – brunch/dinner – so my calories per meal will be larger **
———————
🥪 BREAKFAST BISCUIT & FRUIT ▪️ Duck Egg Yolk ▪️ Chickpea Aquafaba – (suggested replacement for egg whites which I don’t eat because of histamine issues) – RESULT – Meh – not thick enough and eggs didn’t stick together. I might try a vegan flaxseed egg white substitute and see… #experimentsineating
▪️ Turkey Sausage @jennieo 🆕 👍🏻 ▪️ White American Cheese Slice ▪️ Lettuce / Tomato / Onion
🍃🍃🍃🦊🍃🍃🍃
#experimentsineating HOMEMADE HOLLANDAISE SAUCE 💥 Inspired by and adapted from @thekitchn and @recipetineats
It was okay – but I tried to get slick cooking the Asparagus, Zucchini, Corn and pasta in the Instant Pot – it was too long for the asparagus and zucchini so they were mushy, the corn was great and the pasta cooked well but I like a more al denté noodle so less time next time…. And just steam the veg like I usually do…
I do think pasta in the IP would do well for me with a little less time and my Chef IQ gave me a great idea… Using the steamer basket sitting on the bottom prevents a burn notice and is self straining (see daily video) – very cool!
SMART COOKER (INSTANT POT) ARTICHOKE 🌀 Cooked in @mychefiq 6Q Smart Cooker Trim artichoke stem (and petal tips if needed). Cut off the top inch or so of the artichoke and rinse to remove any dirt between the petals. Place Artichoke on trivet or in steamer basket face up, squeeze juice of 1 lemon into the crevices (*optional), add lemon halves to pot with 1 cup water.
1c water in inner pot + trivet Puncture squash all around High Pressure + Natural Release (I like it to still be firm so I use the lesser times) 1lb = 8-10min 2lb = 15-20min 3lb = 22-25min 4lb = 28-32min
It will be 🔥 SUPER HOT 🔥 when it comes out… Use a towel or mitts and cut open to cool. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the seeds with a spoon and enjoy.
* Delicata, Honeynut, Red Kuri and Sweet Dumpling Squash can be enjoyed skin on. They take less time to cook sometimes too.
* Small / young Butternut or Kabocha Squash skin can be eaten but may be tougher.
* Large Squash especially including thick skin varieties like Acorn and Spaghetti Squash are not intended to eat the skins.

I made enough to create freezer meals (x3) and have 1 serving for lunch. I like this meal but last time I put the Half n Half in before freezing, and I am not a fan of freezing most dairy like milk, creams or yogurts – it changes texture and ewwwwww. So this time I am leaving the Half n Half out until I actually eat it – I think this will work well!

Double Ugh….. Not feeling well at all which is weird – haven’t eaten so it’s not a food reaction, weather is fine and it is not Whale 🐳 Week so I have no idea why I am hurting so much…
👩🏻🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY DAY 3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.
I mentioned I was thinking of making Chicken and Dumplings after watching a @kristenhamptongoodnews rerun… If you aren’t familiar with her – check her out…
Okay this is a “cheaters” version of Chicken and Dumplings – I used a canned stock, canned condensed soup and rotisserie chicken. I was just not up to doing much cooking but told Sandy I would bring her some food so I didn’t want to disappoint her.
Precooked the dumplings most of the way in the air fryer first since I was doing such a short time in the Chef IQ (Instant Pot).
DUMPLINGS ♨️ Cooked in @hauswirtusa 42Q Air Fryer Countertop Oven Preheated – Middle Rack 400° for 10min
Then combined and cooked (all details in video) 🌀 Cooked in @chefiq 6Q Smart Cooker Cook on Pressure for 5min + Natural Release (add ½ & ½ and cornstarch after the release)

We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.
I had already taken her salads for the week on Tuesday so I just made her the meatball bake. I used chickpea pasta because it is better for her blood sugars (says Banza).
I took her salads on Tuesday
🍝 ITALIAN CHICKEN MEATBALL BAKE 🌿1️⃣4️⃣ 🌿@aidells Italian Chicken Meatballs 🌿 @homemade Instant Pot Marinara* 🌿 @barilla Chickpea Casarecce Pasta @krogerco 2% Mexican Cheese Blend
🍞 ITALIAN QUICK BREAD 🌿9️⃣ [Without Italian Seasoning – oxalates are 4️⃣] @clovervalley ¼c Self Rising Flour (packed cup) To make all purpose flour into self rising – add 1½tsp baking powder + ¼tsp salt per 1c flour…so for single serve – add ⅜tsp (which is 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon) + a pinch of salt
@dannon @oikos 3tbsp 0% Greek Yogurt @fairlife 2tbsp Skim Milk @gelspice 1tbsp Italian Seasoning @bobsredmill 1tbsp Nutritional Yeast (optional) @assi 1tsp Coarse Sea Salt *If you are not adding the nutritional yeast, you may need less yogurt/milk as there are less dry ingredients.
PLAYING WITH MY FOOD I decided to try out some food dye powders thrown into the dough to see how they turned out. Brilliant! ½tsp powder per bowl worked okay but to strengthen the color I used 1 capsule of Blue Majick Spirulina in addition for the blue and 1 drop violet food gel in the purple.
Color added with 🌿 @eco_taste Food Dye Powders – Spirulina (Dark Green), Butterfly Pea (Blue), Purple Sweet Potato (Purple) @uscakesupply Food Gel (violet) @bluemajick Blue Spirulina capsule
NO STICKY HANDS PREPARATION Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a fork. Lightly spray your baking sheet or lay down some parchment paper and turn your dough out onto the tray. Using the fork, shape the dough to the thickness and diameter you want. Top with an egg wash and additional seasoning if you’d like. Bake and enjoy!

🍅 BASIC INSTANT POT MARINARA 🍅 Tomatoes – ripe (but still firm) works best 🧅 Onions – I like Red Onion but anything from Spring Onions to Shallots will work 🌶️ Peppers – Bell, Poblano, Anaheim, Jalapeño or Shishito (*optional) 🍄 Mushroom (*optional) 🧄 Garlic 🌿 Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Basil to taste 🧂 Seasoning of your choice to taste – I like Minced Onion, Parsley Flakes, Smoked Chili Sea Salt, Nutritional Yeast, Soy Sauce, Italian Seasoning
🔪 Roughly chop vegetables. Add everything to the pot and set for 25min on Pressure/Manual. Natural Release for 15min. No liquid added/needed as the tomatoes release plenty of their own.
🔹If you want a thicker sauce, add a can of tomato paste. 🔹If you want a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender or in a food processor.

While my appt was fine – I was out too long and got overheated (it was like 89° when I was in town) which flared up my Fibromyalgia and that triggered muscle spasms, BP and breathing issues… Whew… I feel rough. I ended up just doing a single, higher calorie meal.
