Turkey Stroganoff with Shallots

Serendipity

An unsought, unintended, and/or unexpected, but fortunate, discovery and/or learning experience that happens by accident

~ Wiktionary

This Turkey Stroganoff was certainly serendipitous. I don't usually buy the ground breast of turkey because it has such little flavor. But, it was on sale, so I thought why not? How awful could it be? When it was finished it was full of flavor and delicious. It's quick and easy, perfect for a weeknight when you are tired, coming home from work and hungry for something good and quick.

Blue Cheese Risotto with Roast Beef

I made this a few years ago and forgot about it. It languished in my recipe box for many years, until as I was going through it to see what I could remove, I came across it and thought I should try it again.

It's delicious. But be warned - if you don't like blue cheese, you won't like this. If you don't like red wine, you won't like this either. This is not a traditional risotto, it is very assertive and needs to be served with well-marinated beef. I think broccoli goes very well with this and steams quite quickly while the roast rests. Serve with a nice red wine and Sour Cherry Jellies for dessert.

You all have to forgive my surfer platter. Under the roast, it says "Seas & Greetings" - I just couldn't resist it for the holidays a few years ago, and it has served me well.

Kung Pao Chicken - Boswell Style

This is my son's favorite Kung Pao chicken. It's spicy but not as tongue blazing as the dish at our local Chinese restaurant, which we love. This is also very simple to make, and you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen already - well, maybe not the Hoisin sauce, but that is available at a supermarket near you. It's also very easy to add more heat if you want, just add more peppers.

Panini Press Grilled Cheese - Without the Press

Sandwiches made in a Panini press are very good, especially grilled cheese. However, I'm one of those people that really doesn't like to buy things that only have one use. Everything in my kitchen can do more than one job, even the strawberry huller can take the stem off tomatoes.

Healthy Spicy Meatloaf with Wheat Germ

Healthy, Spicy Meatloaf

I really love Lula Kabob. I was looking at some recipes and found out one of the main ingredients is grated onions that are pressed through a sieve to remove their liquid. It occurred to me this might be a good idea for my meatloaf. Usually, I make meatloaf with the vegetables chopped, but still large enough to see them. It's good, but I wanted to experiment. The experiment was successful. The meatloaf had a more consistent flavor and texture. This will be my method of making meatloaf from now on.

The other thing that I have started adding to my meatloaf is wheat germ. It has a nutty flavor and is very good with yogurt and honey. It's also very healthy for you. It's an excellent source of vitamin E, A, and folic acid as well as a fiber-rich source of high-quality non-animal protein. If you like refined white flour and are missing the benefits of whole grain, this is a great way to supplement your diet - all that nutrition in something that tastes really good. However, if you are truly gluten intolerant, stay away as wheat germ does have gluten.
