turkey meatloaf with cider gravy
for thanksgiving, i usually serve a bacon wrapped turkey with cider gravy. this is my less complicated version of getting those same flavors. and far more useful when there are only two people eating.
turkey meatloaf
1 pound ground turkey
2 green apples (peeled)
2 small onions
3/4 cup of bread crumbs
1 egg
a few squirts of bbq sauce
3-4 thin slices of bacon
1. preheat oven to 350F
2. finely dice one apple and onion. halve the other apple and onion and set aside.
3. mix everything but the bacon (and apple and onion halves) together and form into a loaf
4. lay bacon strips lenghtwise over the loaf. push the ends of the bacon under the loaf so it looks at neat. put the two apple halves and one onion half on the same baking sheet.
5. bake for 45-50 minutes.
6. remove the apples and onion. brown the bacon under the broiler until its done to your liking.
cider gravy
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon flour
1 cup chicken stock
2/3 cup of cider
the roasted apple and onion
1. blend the apple and onion together until its all blended.
2. melt the butter in a pan. when its all melted, whisk in the flour until its all mixed together.
3. slowly add in the chicken stock, then the blended apple mixture and the cider. make sure to keep whisking while you add everything.
4. simmer on medium until thickens into a gravy like texture.
5. add the cider

my daughter came to me specifically requesting "chicken stew". i had never cooked this dish before, nor heard of it, but following a simple google/blog search her wishes were fulfilled.
i personally didnt eat it, but it got smiles all round, smelled marvellous and warmed hers and the hubbys bellies on a cold day.
"lollies chicken stew"
ingredients:
3 chicken breasts (skin removed) - cut roughly into bite sized chunks
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into the cut of your choice - i went rough chopping
2 sticks celery, trimmed and cut into the cut of your choice
3 medium-size parsnips, peeled and cut into the cut of your choice
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into the cut of your choice
4 eschallots/green/spring onions (scallions), trimmed and chopped
750ml - 1l chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon dried sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of dried chilli flakes
2 bay leaves, remove before serving
2 teaspoons of "maggi seasoning" liquid
250gms shelf-stable fully cooked gnocchi (dumplings)
2 tablespoons cornflour mixed with 1/4 cup cool water
method:
pour chicken stock into a large pot and bring to a steady boil, adding your chopped chicken breast once bubbly. once the chicken is gently white, add your vegetables and seasonings/condiments to the pot, and let simmer for an hour. add your gnocchi and let simmer for another 15 minutes. add cornflour mixture, stirring to thicken the mixture to a stew like consistency; and serve with crusty bread (we used tiger loaf)

That looks delicious and perfect for the current Melbourne climate.
meal of the day thread
i like to share what i cook in the recipe thread but there are many times that i either make something simple that has no recipe, make something i already posted or use a non-original recipe. so hopefully this thread will be different enough from the recipe thread
tonight i am making flank steak, roasted asparagus and accordion potatoes. accordion potatoes are just backed potatoes with lots of little slices in them so they look like an accordion.
i suck at photographing food tho

I eat a lot of plain meals, as this shows. What you see in the preparation phase it pretty much how it is on the plate, except all in one dish.
The potatoes were on the small side--I know they don't look that way.
The carrots were steamed yesterday, and the stir-fry (consisting of Brussels sprouts, green beans, cauliflower, mushrooms, orange pepper and scallions [green onions]) was made the other day. :D

...Not to take attention away from this thread, but if this is going to become more of a "I last had..." thread, there is one of those over in Healthy Living: The last thing you ate or drank v.2.
Thought this one was going to be more for pictures of your last meal. Sometimes pictures give better ideas than words. For instance, those accordion potatoes up there are going to get made the next time I bake potatoes.

Thank you.
I made a few things yesterday.
I can't do buffet...I overeat.
Here is not so tasty in this form...cannabutter
I must admit my straining was sloppy.

I used the Betty Crocker Suddenly Salad mix. Tomato Parmesan.
I added chopped sun dried tomato, fresh basil, crumbled feta, minced garlic, black olives, red pepper, cucumber, and chicken.
I also like their Greek mix too. I am all about the semi homemade
I would rather eat whole wheat pasta. If I make a pasta salad from "scratch" I will use balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Herbs de Provence or a salad dressing made by Annie's or Organicville.
Herbs de Provence Blend:
* 3 Tablespoons dried marjoram
* 3 Tablespoons dried thyme
* 3 Tablespoons dried savory
* 1 teaspoon dried basil
* 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
* 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
* 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
