cailjSo this is how the food turned out:
Turkey -- roasted in oven, no oven bag. Delicious.
Green beans with garlic, almonds, soy sauce, salt and pepper and a little chicken broth, cooked in the oven -- perfect
Steamed broccoli and cauliflower -- it's steamed veggies, what do you expect? :)
Mushrooms stuffed with a mixture of ground sirloin, finely blended red peppers, green peppers, red onions, celery and water chestnut -- mmmmmmmm. Too much meat, not enough mushroom caps, so the leftover made mini-meatballs
Black beans with half a can of diced tomatoes with peppers and onions and Louisiana Hot Sauce. It sat on top of the oven all day, covered, as the turkey cooked, and this softened everything up and blended it together, and now it tastes vaguely like a rendition of vegetarian chili. It's really amazing without the heavy black bean taste (I rinsed the beans because I don't really like that heavy black bean flavor).
Spinach salad with cashews, red peppers, tomatoes, red onions, and cucumbers with a homemade pear vinaigrette. Yummy on all counts.
The homemade, sugar free chocolate mousse. Well, it turned out more like ... well, have you ever had partially frozen cool whip? It's not hard like ice cream, but not quite whippy like mousse. It's delicious though.
New Orleans flooded out today though, so Mark in his great big ol' truck had to go pick our company up. So dinner is sitting under lots of tin foil waiting. :)
