Would love to have your comments on a new blog of mine, Chew on this! It's not for money, it's not for profit, it's just for fun.

I just happen to like two things...writing and food.

I'm sharing my latest meals, tips, and ideas for healthy eating. I just started this yesterday, so there are only three or four post. Given time though, I hope to have at least three a week.

I hope you enjoy it!

What surprises me the most about this blog is the fact that no one commented on the mushroom bake. Am I the only one who could eat them out of the ground? I love these things! I've baked them twice using this simple recipes and I can tell you now, they are LAIR-A-PIN!

Moving on... how does your salad dressing weigh in?

I spent time at summer school beside a Danish lady who when we went to choose our meals choose salad as a starter at lunch/ dinner rather than a sweet..she said she does that every day.I feel she knew a good thing...cultural differences in food is so interesting.Any local to you themes Boomers..
In Scotland there is the habit of afternoon tea with fancy baking..not good really..OK now and again..

And how do you fix them, Lola? I would love to know. I've started buying more and more of them because I love them baked with cheese (all fat-free) as a side dish and just hate running out. I don't live near a grocery store, so it's a trip to town, literally, to restock.

Today I'm blogging about a fat-free treat for the kids, or you...I make them for the grandkids but if they don't come buy, guess who eats them? Yeppers. I usually call my daughter-in-law and say don't come by here, I have the jungle rot, scurry, and berry-berry...she says, "You've made the JELL-O things, haven't you?"

Busted...

Thanks for the jello recipe. I'd surely make them.

Here's one. After you've evicted the tenant dwarf and his gang from the mushrooms:

6 cloves finely chopped garlic
(more if you don't like your neighbours grin)

olive oil
sherry
lemon juice
paprika

Saute the mushrooms in olive oil until it softens then add the garlic, lemon juice, sherry and paprika and cook until the garlic has softened as well. Season to taste and serve on buttered (or cream cheese) baguette with a garnish of chopped parsley or dill.

I also cook my portobellos like you do but would occasionally add spinach on top of the cheese. (no PAM here though so I clog my arteries with butter). And, a slice of tomayto-tomahto.

Mushroom omelette with feta and spinach is also yummy.

Filing this under YUMMY FOR THE TUMMY. I never thought of putting spinach on top of the baked mushrooms...hm...I like that. I'm addicted to Feta cheese and it is so expensive here. So I try to curb my desire for it when I waltz by in the grocery store. I have to give myself one of those "YOU DON'T NEED IT, STEP AWAYYYYY FROM THE FETA, KIDDO...YOU CAN DO IT...COME ON...ONE STEP AT A TIME."

Yes, I'm that addicted. Actually, it's to ANY cheese. I just found out this week that there is a factory right here in my little old town that does goat cheese. How bout that? They invited me to visit them. I said, "Say no more, I'm on my way!" So that's on the agenda for me.

Thanks for the recipe!

Oh and by the way, anyone wishing to comment on the blog can do so anon...you do NOT have to register.

It was so cool. I've already adopted it except for the carrots. I'm carroted out...I'm so tired of them. But everything else was a go. I am watching portion size, so what I did with your suggestion was used small amounts of all of it and everything was rolled up in a tortilla wrap...a low-carb/calorie one, of course!

Thank you Chatty...I so appreciate the support!

Also Chats, you may want to read today's post, in particular, because I used your recipe, and then spread this yummy stuff all over it. Would you believe 15 calories, 0 fat, and only 4 carbs in 2 tablespoons! If it's eatable, I put this stuff on it. Just found out they have a Yellow Peach one too. OH MY LORD...I'm in heaven!

JJ, I just left a comment about your Red Peach Salsa...it sounds so scrumptious...I love anything with peaches in it.

Chatty, we do the same thing with our eggs. I have an egg every morning (long story why) and always throw in "leftover" pieces of veggies in...red onions, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, and celery flowers are my favourites, with cheese melted on top (for the calcium). Yummmy. It IS like having a salad for breakfast.

Thats great Sharon!

I bought a bag of broccoli, red cabbage and carrots already mixed and shredded. Now if you want to add anything you can. This is so good as a salad alone or on top of plain or shredded lettuce. I add radishes and celery for a real crunchy treat, oh and black olives, can't be without my black olives. This is something that you can put in a big bowl without salad dressing and nibble on at leisure at night while watching TV or reading, etc.

What a delightful, easy way to incorporate veggies with NO calories into your diet and it keeps you satisfied. I have lost nearly 14 pounds eating this, instead of something fattening.

Lola, we need to have a BWS Word Reorientation for you people who have been on sabbatical from the forums. You DO remember that I'm a Queen, right? No, I didn't say royal pain, I said QUEEN!

Do you remember what "larapin" means?

JJ, I make my own form of (Rotel type brand) diced tomatoes with green chiles. It is quite good if I must say so myself.

Not far toooooo long from the forums...I meant far tooooo long from the States. LOL! The only "larapin" I'd know now is Liverpudlian...which translates to "lorra pins". Or, "lots of pins". LOL! Be back shortly, must google.

LOL! There goes a simple manifestation of repressed thoughts with whips...a.k.a. a naughty Freudian slip.

You're supposed to impart culinary wisdom, JJ. Now I'd be giggling through making the pie with my Brit whipped cream...I'll be clotted.

JJ, I have gotten several gifts from her on my Facebook but she's probably gotten even more busy what with Christmas sneaking up on us so fast. YIKES, only 86 days to go and how much do you want to bet it will seem sooner when it arrives.

Chatty, you got that right! My first big seasonal craft fair was 2nd weekend in September down by the beach. Good weather and sales smile

I haven't been able to go back to Hollywood Market due to the heat, but it's allegedly cooling down soon. Smaller festival in a local park this weekend.

I spent most of the summer on website organization & infrastructure and am very glad that's over. A local gallery which sells my work wants 50-60 new pieces by next Wednesday, so that's my current big project.

Today we have Shoepeg Corn Salad which I made at 5:30ish this morning and then promptly dropped the whole thing on the kitchen floor on the way to the frig...BEFORE coffee.

Later today I thought I might try running over my foot with the car or maybe giving myself liposuction with the vacuum cleaner.

I mean, why not. I'm on a roll.

Sigh...

Another of my famous recipes. JJ, I may need to come cook for you for promoting my recipes so much. Thank You!!!

This is so funny but JJ is right, Janis one of our use to be posters, made these and ended up eating most of them before her company came and got hooked. She made them alot...They are easy to make and easier to eat.

Well, this is the best thing I missed last month. Surgery can do that to you. I'm recovered and hungry and in the right place. Yippee!

Okey doakie...here it is...Mom's Chicken Stew recipe that others have hounded me for. It's simple, quick, (sort of) and idiot proof. I should know. Did I mention that it's larapin?

OMG!!! That poor sad looking chicken. I so prefer to not see my food alive, before eating it. I feel too guilty! Super recipe however, left you a comment as such.

Is larapin a southern term? Neither Ross nor I have ever heard it.

The stew looks great. Don't you just love making your mother's recipes? There's something sentimental about it, but my mom's gone so maybe that's why.

Today I went calorie hunting and found this old tried and true recipe that I promise you, ..............is downright sinful. Just play like you scraped all the calories out before you made it. Whatever works.

Every once in awhile I buy a whole pineapple and clean off the outer stuff then slice and eats it, ice cold. Nothing better in the summertime to refresh and cool you down.

This dish is a Home Run dish...whenever mom makes it, I run home...bawwwhahahah...I'm so funny! I should write humor.

MOM'S COUNTRY CABBAGE

Make sure you have hot cornbread on hand...don't use rolls for Pete's sake, and for the love of all that's LARAPIN, don't use store-bought cornbread, either.

Hmmm...well you can make regular Southern cornbread and I'm not talking about that Johnny cake that has sugar in it, either. Or...you can make the Sour Cream Cornbread that mom usually makes with this dish. Here is the

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD RECIPE


Preheat the oven to 425°.

INGREDIENTS
2 4 tablespoons shortening (or bacon drippings)
1 1/2 cups white self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk or sweet milk
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda if using buttermilk

DIRECTIONS:
Put shortening into an iron skillet and put in the oven while it's preheating. Combine the cornmeal and flour, then mix in the egg and milk. Mix should be like thick pancake batter. If not, you can add some water to it.

Take the hot pan from the oven, pour some of the melted shortening (a tablespoon or more) into the batter, then pour all of the batter into the hot skillet. Place back in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outer crust is golden brown. Flip over onto plate. Eat yourself silly...

Here is the

Sour Cream Cornbread Recipe

Yummy...a further request from your fandom. What is oleo in Brit-speak? Margarine, lard, butter? Google is confused.

Martha White's buttermilk cornmeal mix in the big bag is awesome...I heat the iron skillet with a big dallop of Criso in the oven until it's hot...then I pour in the cornbread mix...it sizzles around the edges...I've had so many compliments on her cornbread...the secret...Crisco. I melt it and pour it in the mix as well...I can hear the arteries closing as I type...but, it issssssss good.
I liked Jiffy mix until I tried Martha White's...hands down so much better and JJ I'm with you...no sugar!

Dee, my mother, aunt, and grandmother all used Crisco for everything and my mom is 89, and my aunt, moms sister is 91 and both are still going strong. My grandmother did too, so who is to say what's bad and whats not? If it works, use it! If it takes good, eat it...Oh Yea!!!!

I made red beans with Tony C's in them...(they are so good I slap any mama within reach)...will bake a fresh skillet of cornbread, turnips, mashed potatoes and chicken. YUM...That's Larry's b-day lunch...for desert, a party with his family and friends.

Here in New Zealand we're amused at the American expression of 'Fixing' food. Here, we fix things when there's something wrong, so 'fixing' food conjures up fun images of food-gone-wrong that is being fixed! Over here we 'make' or 'prepare' dinner. I like the thought of those mushrooms, but I hope I don't have to fix them! smile

Funny comment BBG. Never thought of that. Okay, from now on, I won't fix anything unless it's broken.
