What are you eating (Ver. 2.0)

[Jamie D]

Warm apple pie

[Jamie D]

Simple meal.  Steamed vegetables.  Quartered red potatoes, sliced carrots, zucchini, and yellow crookneck squash, along with some portobellini mushrooms.  Drizzled with a little garlic butter.  No added salt.

smoked salmon Wasabi from au bon pain

[Jamie D]

Mmmmmm Smoke salmon.  Sounds good.  How did the wasabi figure in?

I did seafood tonight too.

I marinated a couple of swordfish steaks in orange juice, pineapple juice, olive oil, and cayenne.
Then I made a salsa from tomato, onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno, pineapple, lime, lime juice, and a bit of sea salt.
Whipped a quick cocktail sauce from ketchup, horseradish, and chipotle Tabasco sauce
I sauteed some fresh Pacific Oysters a little olive oil, tequila, orange zest, and lime juice, with some spices - I call it margarita oysters.
Broiled the swordfish 5 minutes to a side, basting when turned.

Plated the swordfish and topped with salsa.  Served with the oysters, cocktail sauce, and a herbed rice pilaf.  Sauvignon blanc.

The most collegeish thing to eat while studying after midnight.
Maruchan Ramen.

[LordKAT]

Love Ramen, hate the seasoning packets.

Leftover cheap cheese pizza.

Leftover cheap cheese pizza.

Love ramen (ラーメン) (especially shoyu). Not a huge fan of ramen bricks, but they're ok .

I just ate some Chocolate Lucky Charms. I'm out of real cereal, and I got this for the kids... so I'm stealing!

Love Ramen, hate the seasoning packets.

What do you use instead of the seasoning packets? (Probably a load of chemicals anyway)

[Jamie D]

Throw some chopped carrot, diced celery, and green onion in with the water as it heats to a boil, before adding the ramen.  Those seasoning packets are full of salt.

Made a lasagna last night    It came out pretty good

Oh my goodness that sounds delicious! Do you deliver?!?

Close to what I do. Though I have often eaten them plain. I don't buy salt, not to cook or eat with. I don't buy salty foods, and never seasonings containing salt. It is amazing the amount of salt used in restaurants so I very rarely eat in them. The food tastes often like it is made of pure salt. Salt dulls the taste of food so horrendously.

I will add a touch of olive oil, grated hard cheeses, green onion, roasted garlic, and sometimes after cooking, add diced tomato and peppers.

Oh that sounds good, I'll try it! I avoid salt as much as possible as it drives my BP up. A friend served me a toasted cheese and spam sandwich a few years ago, my fingers swelled up.

I get a lot of my inspiration from the Hispanic heritage of my part of California.

Fresh, local, ingredients are the hallmark of "California cuisine."  As is the simple presentation.  Much of coastal California has a Mediterranean type climate, so the ingredients often mimic those one might find in Spain, Italy, Greece, and northern Africa.  Of course, with some New World touches. 

You find your way to southern California, and I will put together a feast for you.

I have many salt free, low fat, low sugar, meatless dishes.

Steamed vegetables sounds good. I'm very new to steaming things.

I'm steaming the last of some red bean buns. My daughter begged me for adzuki beans, so while we had them I figured we could try making sweet bean paste and the things people eat with it.

I'm also eating mango peach salsa on triscuits. It doesn't all go together but it's what's oldest and needs to get eaten.

[Jamie D]

I made some Christmas cookies for my wife's students - sort of like Tollhouse cookies, but made with the red, green, and brown holiday chocolate chips.   

Then I got a little creative.  I had some Reese's Peanut Butter Chips.  On the package is a recipe for "Double Peanut Butter Paisley Brownies."  That sounded good, but a bit on the plain side.  So I added some almond extract with the vanilla extract, switched out about 1/2 cups of the peanut butter chips with Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips, and added a 1/2 cup of crushed slivered almonds.

In the morning I will cut them up into a bunch of little square brownies, dust them with powdered sugar, and take them in to my cardi rehab session.  Not exactly healthy!  But, wow, do they taste good. 

[Devlyn]

Devil Dogs, the darn things are on sale every time I go to the store!   

I have many salt free, low fat, low sugar, meatless dishes.

I don't have any.

[Jill F]

Steak with baked potato and asparagus. 

Yes, I know I'm being very bad and there's no reason for all that extra protein, fat and high glycemic carbs, but apparently my progesterone cycle ending has synced my wife's cycle and she needs the iron now.  And I'm super hungry after having eaten only a handful of nuts and a nonfat yogurt today!
