Bean Burgers

Realizing we are eating too much animal fat, we decided to take action.  Our reason is based on health concerns only.  We are not becoming Vegans nor or we becoming total Vegetarians.  We will continue to eat fish and seafood as well as eggs.  This action is not set in concrete, so while we will post mostly meatless meals, you may find meat related products at times.

Use any beans you have available.  I use whatever beans I cook for the week.

These burgers are great for any meal as well as snacks.

 

Mais C’est Bon!  Enjoy!!

Bread Pudding

 

What a treat!

We try to eat as healthy as possible.  Yet there are days when things happen, and today was one!  I realized we had various bits and pieces of bread and not wanting to throw them away, I decided to make bread pudding.  Since we only eat whole wheat and whole grain breads, my bits and pieces were of these varieties.  Realizing these breads are not real sweet, I have adjusted my recipe.

Mais C’est Bon!  Enjoy!!

Cajun Salmon Rolls

South Louisiana is always ready for a party!

With St. Patrick’s Day coming so soon after Mardi Gras, you would think we would be tired of parties and parades.  Not so!  Today was the Baton Rouge St. Patrick’s Day Parade and parties abound.  The day started out cool and clear with a georgeous blue sky getting us all ready for partying.  We had been wanting to try this dish, making it with a Cajun twist.  You may say salmon is not Cajun yet Nova Scotia has excellent premium salmon.

Mais C’est Bon!  Enjoy!!

Scrambled Eggs with Beet Greens

This week at the farmers market, we purchased young beets with greens still atached. One of our favorite ways to use the greens is with scrambled eggs. The greens add texture to the eggs as well as nutritional benefit. For an added touch this week, we decided to make Beet Jam to go with the scrambled eggs. The jam takes a couple of hours and is well worth the effort.

 Mais C’est Bon!!

Coddled Eggs

Egg Coddlers, manufactured by Royal Worcester, have been used in England since the 1800s.  Pipkin was believed to be the original name for the egg coddler.  The pipkin was an earthenware pot used for cooking.  Coddled eggs are similar to poached eggs, except the eggs are cooked inside the coddler immersed in boiling water.  When the eggs are cooked, the coddler is removed from the water, lid removed, and breakfast served in the decorated porcelain dish.

Mais C’est Bon!!

Pinto Beans

Although Red Beans is a traditional New Orleans Monday Meal, we eat all types of beans and on any day.  This week it is Pinto Beans.  We cooked these on Sunday and used them all week in various ways from entrees to side dishes.  Monday was traditional bean day since Monday was also wash day.  It was easy to put a pot of beans simmering on the stove while completing other tasks like washing.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Green Onion Pancakes

Green Onion Pancakes?  One recent morning while drinking coffee in the wilds of Mississippi– well, how about RVing at the Bogue Chitto Water Park near McComb, MS, and discussing breakfast, pancakes came to mind.  Of course not just regular pancakes – Green Onion Pancakes.  We had fresh green onion sausage and that sounded interesting.  These are simple and have a unique flavor. 

Enjoy!  Mais C’est bon!!
