This is such a great dinner when your tired and just want something tasty and quick. The sauce is great and skinny as you don���t use milk or cream.

Writing Notes: Herbs, Spices & Seasoning

Herbs and spices can add flavor and variety to your food.

Use a little at first, then add more when you are sure you like the flavor.

To substitute dry herbs for fresh, use ¼ teaspoon powder or 1 teaspoon crushed for 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs. Some herbs and spices are expensive.

You might want to buy only a few of the less expensive herbs and spices you will use.

Herbs and spices lose flavor and can spoil or get buggy if kept in the cupboard longer than a year.

If you use herbs and spices slowly, buy small containers, or store them in the freezer.

top 5 pasta shapes?

I LOVE THIS QUESTION THANK YOU!!

In no particular order:

Ditalini (L) Not only they are the gayest pasta shape, as the word is also Italian slang for “fingering” , but they're my favourite tiny pasta because they're so versatile. Love 'em for pasta and patate especially.

Farfalle (R) Not only their shape gives me joy but it's also fantastic for gripping sauce and other seasoning. I can do amazing farfalle with salmon and parsley u have no idea.

FUSILLI (L) THEEE ultimate short pasta, ngl probably my all time fave. The way the sugo clings to the little spirals... sublime

Bucatini (R) Isn't it sexy the way they're just drowned in that sugo all'amatriciana? Borderline erotic. Look at it. The name means "little holey" because they have a lil hole inside, unlike spaghetti, and I could make so many sex jokes about this it's not even funny. It DOES makes them tastier. To me.

Rotelle (L) Literally what is there not to love about a pasta shaped like a lil wheel. It's sooo cute and sparks so much joy.

Bonus!! Gnocchi (R) They don't really count as pasta ig, because they're technically dumplings, but the they occupy a similar ecological niche as freshly made pasta in italian cuisine. Also in Rome when you think a girl is very hot you say "è una gnocca" meaning that she's delicious and will melt in your mouth. Wink wink nudge nudge

[adviceformefromme]

Hi! Thank you for the health advice! I would love to quit or significantly reduce carbs, I also feel like it's heavy on my body, but so many meals revolve around grains (sourdough bread mostly) and I guess there's a craving aspect to it too... Could you give advice on what you're eating instead?? I have lots of eggs, fish, occasional meat, plenty of fruit, just enough veg haha but i find it hard to imagine going without carbs (or grains more specifically cos I have no prob with vege carbs). Especially in winter 😋 Thank you for any help 🙏🙏

I feel like society has normalised feeling heavy and lethargic after meals, but its amazing you have noticed this and want to change!

You may want to cut carbs gradually (no starches - breads, grains, rice, pasta, potatoes).

I would recommend looking into GI index to see what foods are high glucose, following Hormone Balancing recipes, juices etc (usually very low carb and support women's health). Listening to podcasts on microbiome, or even a tiktok search.

Introducing pre/ probiotics: I make sauerkraut (which is basically cabbage / onions in water and salt left to ferment for a few days - lots of variations on this), also just made my first batch of Kefir (I stay away from store bought Kefir as its pasturised and all the good stuff has been killed off during this process). I mention these as a healthy gut is going to support you as you remove carbs and introduce more wholesome foods.

Breakfasts:

Omlette (spinach / onion / parsley )

Scrambled eggs w/ coconut oil

Buckwheat porridge w/ blueberries (buckwheat is a seed not a grain so low glucose index)

Avocado salad (seeds, olives, rocket, tomatoes, cucumber) +tahini

Snacks:

Nuts, olives, blueberries, blackberries, watermelon

Main meals:

Veg + Protein (Broccli, kale, butternut squash, courgette, carrots, asparagus, cabagge, peppers). I do different variations of veg to mix things up, sometimes i do Chinese style stir fry, I try to add garlic and ginger as much as possible into the veg. Protein is usually grass fed steak, whole fish - seabream, sea bass, mackerel, cod fillet, wild salmon fillet, or turkey breast fillet. I make chimichurri sauce to add some extra flavour to the fish.

Protein + lentil / chicpeas dish. I have a stew a few days a week to break up the veggies because they do get boring after a while.

Bone broth. I boil the bones, and have as a little side dish with veggies but this isn't really filling enough for a main meal.

I make beetroot juice, and also watermelon juice, tumeric + ginger shots throughout the week. I try to throw in flaxseed and chia seeds where possible.

I cut coffee/ decaf all that and now only drinking fresh mint tea, slice of lemon + hot water, fresh juices (within the hour of making), and water ensuring 2l per day.

Number one thing that had to go was oats. So if you are having a morning crash I suggest cutting the carbs first thing. I know there are suggestions (glucose goddess) that fat with carbs or when you eat them (having carbs after veg can help) but personally i think its best to cut them.

I hope this helps! Its a full lifestyle change that has honestly helped so much! It's a commitments, but investing in feeling good and your health will make you feel so good and wholesome! xoxoxo

*I used the free 1 month trial of MyFitnessPal app to track my calories/ meals to ensure I was getting enough food - for some this might be extreme but super helpful to see what’s going on.

Maltosio

Maltosio is a restaurant located in Linkon City. It's where the protagonist and Dr. Zayne meet for a late lunch (in the Falling For You: "A Frozen Promise" Bond story). The protagonist mentions that she used to walk by this street often on her way home.

Apparently, the location was previously a pet store. From what I could see, there are two separate Honest Coffee locations right next to it (one across the opposing street and one across the street directly to the right of it). And, according to Zayne, there's a bookstore nearby.

Here's what their menu looks like:

Today's Special:

Sirloin Steak:

Sirloin Steak with Garlic Sauce, Pan Seared Asparagus. Cream of Mushroom Soup, Matcha Almond Tofu, Taro Ice Cream

Grilled Salmon:

Grilled Salmon with Morel Mushrooms, Coconut Seafood Stew, Vegetable Salad, Iced Coconut Latte, Wild Berry Cheesecake

Seafood Pasta:

Seafood Pasta with Basil Crisps, Slow-roastsd Tomatoes, Nachos with Guacamole, Garlic Bread, Caramelized Apple Tart

Lunch Special (Available 11:30 AM - 3:00 PM on weekdays):

Lunch Special for One:

…se & Egg Toast, Honey Garlic Chicken Wings, Spicy Fries, Creamy… Soup, Chocolate Mochi Cook-... Taro Ice Cream

Lunch Special for Two:

Creamy Bacon and Mushroom Pasta, Shrimp Risotto with Parsley, Fried Cod Fillet, Fried Onion Rings, Crab Salad with Green Melon, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Honeyed Grapefruit Juice, Berries Ice Cream, Taro Ice Cream

In this scene, we can see that the protagonist ordered the Lunch Special for One while Zayne ordered the Sirloin Steak.

And for their dessert choice, they both selected the Taro Ice Cream pictured below.

Here are some more photos of their offerings:

The cheesecake this customer is seen enjoying doesn't look like a Wild Berry Cheesecake to me. Perhaps there's a secret menu we don't know about lol. But it still looks delicious!

Smoked Salmon and Garlic Dip

Hey, do you like holiday parties or just eating dips by yourself under a table? me too! one of those! Anyways here's my favorite dip recipe, and people tend to think it's really fancy. It's not. But it seems fancy!

So that's good enough for the holidays.

Smoked Salmon and Garlic dip

Ingredients:

1-2 heads of garlic

1 block room-temp cream cheese

1 small tub sour cream (or a tube, you know the squeezy tubes?)

1 decent-sized chunk of smoked salmon.

(the one I used is a local place so they didn't put on the weight of it. it's the length of my hand from middle finger to heel, but narrower

[You can use the cured thin-cut stuff if you want, but you'll have to chop it. This works best with the chunks of smoked salmon that flakes when you pull it apart.])

olive oil

Directions:

Roast your garlic. 1 head is fine, 2 heads is better.

To roast garlic, set your oven to 350, and chop off the tops of the garlic. If you have a really staggered garlic (peaks in the middle, then little cloves around the edges) cut off the top, and then just gently nip off the tops of the smaller cloves, so you're not chopping off a ton of the middle cloves and wasting food.

Put the garlic heads in tinfoil, drizzle olive oil over the top, and then seal the foil, making a lil parcel.

Chuck it in the oven. It takes about 45 minutes. You can tell it's done when the garlic oozes out easily when squeezed, and the sliced tops should be lightly brown.

(I used garlic confit this time, which also works great!)

Add your room-temp cream cheese to a bowl. Whip until it's very loose and easy to work with, and then add the sour cream. The more sour cream you add, the lighter and tangier it'll be. I generally add about a half cup, but you can go as low as 2 tablespoons if you want.

Whip those together until homogeneous, and then squeeze in all your garlic. Repeat the mixing.

Flake in your salmon, and combine.

You can either pop it in the fridge now for the flavors to meld, or you can add more.

Suggestions: a squeeze of lemon, esp if you went light on sour cream. Worstchestershire sauce if you really enjoy it on seafood for some reason. white pepper! paprika!

A green herb isn't a bad idea at all, and it's pretty flexible on that front. Dill, chives, parsley, even thyme should all work quite well.

Anyways. Then you need an entire loaf of bread and a dark room so no one can witness you eating the entire thing. Good luck figuring out what to take to the party now, genius. The bowl's empty.

Day 26: Low-FODMAP Salmon Cakes

I got a stupidly large amount of salmon from Costco, so I decided to do something different than my typical bake-with-olive-oil-and-birch-syrup situation. These salmon cakes are way easier than they look, but they do force you to get out the food processor, so. I always resent having to take it out (and clean it), but others may not be as petulant about kitchen appliances. To the recipe:

Low-FODMAP Salmon Cakes

~2 slices gluten-free bread

1 1/2 lbs skinless salmon, cut into 1 inch cubes

3 tbsp mayo

3 tbsp minced fresh parsley

2 tsp Dijon mustard

3 tsp minced capers

salt and pepper

Set a rack about 3 inches from broiler and heat broiler. Pulse bread in food processor to coarse crumbs, which should be about 1 1/4 c bread crumbs. Set aside in large bowl. Pulse salmon in food processor until coarsely ground, then add to the bowl with the bread crumbs.

Mix together mayo, parsley, mustard, capers, and salt and pepper to taste, then then fold into salmon and bread crumbs until combined. (You fold it in, David.) Divide into 6 patties that look like hamburger patties, about 1 inch thick, and then arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Broil until browned and patties register 125F, roughly 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

The salmon cakes were pretty great, and everyone enjoyed them. I'm not even going to go into how I cooked the potatoes (pictured) because I didn't like how they turned out. I had cantaloupe wedges wrapped in prosciutto as a salad, because I've been craving watermelon salad with feta and mint, but watermelon is on the no list. This diet is still massive bullshit. I'll post a recipe for the banging tartar sauce I made tomorrow.

Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients.

Finnish Salmon Soup (Lohikeitto)

Here is an easy and comforting recipe, perfect for cold winter nights: a Finnish salmon soup. Lohikeitto as it is called in Finland is a creamy salmon soup made with leeks, potatoes, carrots and especially plenty of fresh dill!

What I particularly like in this traditional finnish salmon soup is that it is a full meal and especially that you can prepare in advance and reheat easily. It tastes sometimes even better the next day!

(Desafortunadamente, no pude encontrar eneldo fresco en la tienda local, así que lo reemplacé con perejil)

📍Ingredients:

-salmon 350 g -butter 30 g -olive oil 1 tbsp -leek 100 g -shallots 50 g -potatoes 300 g -carrots 2 pcs -heavy cream 70 gr -fish broth 1.500 l -fish sauce (Tailandesa) 1 tbsp -fresh herbs, dill or parsley -salt and pepper to taste

•Stock – fish stock is the best one to use for lohikeitto. It gives you a solid base of fish flavor, and adding salmon elevates that flavor even more.

•Cream – you can use light cream (half & half) or heavy cream (double cream); it depends on how creamy you want the soup.

•Butter – I used unsalted butter

•Leek – use only the white and light green parts when making lohikeitto.

•Salmon: You need a fresh salmon filet without the skin. I prefer a relatively thick fillet so that I can cut large cubes of fish. You can also use frozen salmon. Since this is one of the main ingredients of this recipe, I really recommend you to choose a high quality fish.

•Dill – I strongly recommend using fresh dill to prepare lohikeitto! But, if you can’t find dill, you can replace it with parsley (Using dried dill will change the flavor of your Finnish salmon soup, so please don’t use it as a substitute)

•Salt and pepper – According to your taste (I added 4 cayenne peppers)

•Lemon: This is not part of the traditional recipe but I like to add a drizzle of lemon juice to give this soup a little freshness.

☝️SALMON: 10 minutes before serving, add the salmon chunks and cream. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked. The cream should not boil. Close the lid and wait another 5 minutes.

Knife - 9 Days of Solomon

Day 3

I was stumped on this prompt for a while, so I decided to play to my strengths and pick up my knife...CHEFS KNIFE THAT IS.

Yes, from Solomon's cookbook to your table, I have for you a recipe for Solomon's Mystery Stew!

aka a modified Cioppino, or Italian-American Fisherman's stew!

Remember to channel your inner Solomon: recipes are guidelines not holy writ (unless you're baking). Always error to your own tastes and judgement. If you don't like an ingredient feel free to leave it out. If you love a certain vegetable, see how it tastes when added! I made a vegetarian version of this last night because I was too lazy to go to the store and buy seafood - it was still delicious!

Solomon's Mystery Stew

1-2 servings

Ingredients

Olive Oil

Kosher Salt

Fish Sauce (optional)

½ Sweet or Yellow Onion, diced

1 medium Fennel bulb, sliced. Reserve fronds for garnish if desired.

1-1.5 tb Tomato Paste

2 cloves Garlic, minced

¼-1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (more or less to taste)

½ c White Wine – Pinot Grigio is what I use because I can buy small half bottles of it. Any light white is fine, but avoid Chardonnay which can be oaked. You can omit the wine if you desire but it really does add a nice layer of flavor. If you leave it out consider adding a squeeze of lemon or a splash of rice wine vinegar.

1 can Petite Diced Tomatoes

2 c Vegetable Stock - You can substitute chicken stock if it's what you have on hand, but not beef stock. Fish stock is awesome if you have access to it.

Seafood: Calamari, Shrimp, Mussels (cleaned). I can buy a small bag of frozen "seafood medley" at my grocery store that contains tiny octopus, calamari, baby shrimp and clams that I usually use. I drop the frozen bits right into the soup as it cooks. If you want to buy fresh that's great too but quality won't suffer if you opt for frozen.

Fish, cut into bite sized pieces and deskinned: Salmon, Cod, Halibut, etc – your choice! I find one filet is usually plenty for me. If you are serving 2 people do 2 filets.

Options for toppings:

Fresh Parsley, chopped

Fresh Cilantro, sprigs

Fresh lemon or lime slices

Tabasco Sauce

Kewpie Mayo

And of course you're going to want a nice crusty bread or your favorite crackers for serving.

Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pot. Heat should be medium to low. You want to sweat the veggies without browning them.

Add onions and sweat until translucent. 5ish min. Add fennel and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Season with a light sprinkle of salt. Increase heat to medium if using a low heat. Add tomato paste and red pepper flakes and cook while stirring for 2 minutes. Tomato paste should be lightly sizzling while cooking.

Increase heat to medium-high. Add wine slowly. Let simmer until reduced by half. Stir in diced tomatoes, Vegetable stock. Simmer covered for 15-20 minutes.

Add sea food. Simmer covered until seafood is done – Shellfish should be opened, Calamari should be opaque, Shrimp and fish firm. Taste broth and season broth with salt and more red pepper flakes if you desire. At this point I add a dash of fish sauce (my secret ingredient) but that's up to you.

Serve with lemon, parsley, and fennel fronds. I always drizzle a little Kewpie mayo on top as well. It melts into the broth and adds the most amazing sweet/sour flavor.

I hope you enjoy making this recipe! It's easier than it seems and once you have it down, its very easy to size it up to feed a larger group of people. If you have any questions feel free to DM me or ask in reblogs!

Happy 9 Days of Solomon!
