Brussels Sprouts, Sautéed; sunrise, partie deux

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 14, 2021 by KateFebruary 14, 2021
Fried Brussels Sprouts

My mother was not an adventurous cook or eater. She liked the familiar. I didn’t taste broccoli, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts until I was an adult living on my own. That’s when I discovered frozen vegetables. My mother never bought frozen vegetables. I was so excited when I tried Brussels sprouts for the first time. Despite the fact that they were covered in cheese (Bird’s Eye Frozen) I thought they … Continue reading →

Pork Medallions with Sliced Mushrooms; sunrise

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 12, 2021 by KateFebruary 12, 2021
Pork with Mushrooms

I’m planning my weekly menus more carefully now. Since the start of the pandemic I have switched to doing the shopping every 2 weeks rather than weekly. I do a monthly drive-through pick-up for the bulky things like wine, beer, milk, household cleaning supplies and any canned things I might need and I’ve always had dog food / treats delivered. Still, shopping for 2 weeks at a time is definitely … Continue reading →

Top Tips for Eating Low Carb

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 11, 2021 by KateFebruary 15, 2021

I know a lot of people who eat low carb diets. Some do it as a way of life; others do it when they want to shed some pounds quickly. It seems like bread is usually the first thing to go….. We don’t, in our house, eat specifically low carb. With mon mari being a T1 diabetic we do, however, follow a careful diet. I measure or weigh the carbs … Continue reading →

Spring Greens with Feta and Dates; a cormorant

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 10, 2021 by KateFebruary 10, 2021
Salad with Feta & Dates

A long time ago, when I used to travel (unlike this year) I was coming back to Europe on KLM, business class (loved upgrades!). As was proper, after the main course I was served a small plate of cheese. In this case it happened to be goat cheese and it was garnished with 2 dates. I was not a fan of dried fruit of any sort and had never had … Continue reading →

Miso Pork, Slow Cooker; learning stream

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 7, 2021 by KateFebruary 23, 2021
Slow Cooker Pork

I like miso. I like the flavors it adds to foods. It’s less salty than soy sauce but can add a similar umami to foods. I decided to find out if it’s healthy, just okay, or not healthy. I discovered that according to BBC Good Food it’s good: “Miso is rich in essential minerals and a good source of various B vitamins, vitamins E, K and folic acid. As a fermented food, miso provides the … Continue reading →

Chicken Cacciatore, Instant Pot; floods

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 5, 2021 by KateFebruary 5, 2021
Instant Pot Chicken Cacciatore

The Instant Pot and I are becoming friends. To be honest, some of my hesitancy in using it to prepare dinner main courses (rather than beans or soups or certain vegetables) is that it doesn’t seem to be quicker. In fact, in some cases it takes longer to make something in the Instant Pot than it does in a skillet. I’m not interested in a lot of recipes in the … Continue reading →

Cheddar Cheese Mashed Potatoes; no more cheddar

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 3, 2021 by KateFebruary 3, 2021
Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

This may be the last time we have Cheddar Cheese Mashed Potatoes. In watching the news this morning we learned that the people (British) who make cheddar cheese are finding it very challenging to ship the cheese to Europe – thanks to Brexit. I’m sure that TPTB (The Powers That Be) did not intentionally try to make life difficult for those that have no power, and yet, it would seem … Continue reading →
