🥯 HOMEMADE EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING
You can adjust as you like to suit your tastes. If you want a sodium free version, leave out the salt. I buy the ingredients from my international market or bulk bins and can make 2 huge containers for far less than one bottle of Trader Joe’s or similar.
▪️ Black Sesame Seeds
▪️ White Sesame Seeds
▪️ Poppyseed
▪️ Minced Dried Garlic
▪️ Minced Dried Onion

🔘 Eggs beautifully poached in
ExcelSteel 2 Egg Poaching Pot
Bring water to simmer (not rolling boil)
Spray egg cups with cooking spray or oil
Crack 1 egg per cup – duck eggs / jumbos just fit
Cook over MED heat for 4min
Remove immediately (pan, cups and lid will be hot 🔥)

Or try these other methods:

🥚 PERFECT SOFT BOILED EGGS
In small saucepan, bring enough water to completely cover the eggs to a rolling boil. Reduce temperature to med and when the water is at a low simmer, gently add eggs. Avoid dropping them in the pot as they may crack.

Cook chicken eggs for 5 min (or duck eggs for 6 min) uncovered. I like to stir them every few minutes to prevent the yolk cooking more on one side.

If you prefer hard boiled (but not chalky super done yolks), increase time to 9min for chicken eggs and 11min for duck eggs.

Once cooked, drain out the boiling water and fill the pot with cold water. I personally don’t do an ice bath because I don’t want my eggs cold to eat.

Crack the eggs gently all the way around and put in the pot of cold water to allow water to get under the membrane. Leave eggs for 3-5 min, peel gently under running water and enjoy.

▪️ Mini Cucumber
▪️ Dried Dill

▪️ Black Rice

I cooked the chicken on the stove when I should have trusted my instincts and cooked it in the air fryer. I wasn’t thinking about the fact that the yogurt would break while the chicken was cooking and so I ended up with a broken sauce. Still edible but not as nice…

A few 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 haven’t cooked for her in several months because I was sick and didn’t want to get her sick. Butter Chicken is one of her favorites so I made it for her today…

🐔 SKINNY CHICKEN TETRAZZINI

Chicken, pasta and veggies swimming in a creamy, cheesy sauce – what’s not to love! Surprisingly this is my first time making it though.

I used Konjac Noodles to keep the calorie and carb count down but any pasta will work. I also wanted more saucy goodness so I increased ratios to my own tastes… And had a side salad of course.
