More Stuffed Stuff!
I do love to stuff stuff.
Today's lunch:
Stuffed Yellow Squash:
Hollow out a yellow squash (I use a measuring spoon to do this.) Mix the innards of the squash with 50 g grape tomatoes, halved or quartered, and 2 tablespoons fat free sour cream, plus garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Put the mixture right back into the hollowed out squash, and top with little driplets of Smoked Chipoltle Tabasco. Then microwave for just a minute. If I'd thought of it before I put it into COM, I'd have used some fat free mozzarella on top, but too late now. Top with a teaspoon of olive oil. And that's just one of the dishes.
Ginger Mango Stuffed Napa:
Take a leaf of napa cabbage. Put it on a plate. Take 140 g frozen mango chunks, 20 g fresh diced ginger, and a dash of cinnamon. Microwave. Put the mixture into the napa leaf, and add a few hazelnuts and 30 g avocado.
The giant "side" dish is going to be broccoli with eggwhites steamed in lemon juice with garlic and olive oil.
I don't really feel the need to have entree, side dishes, dessert, etc. I just like to put together dishes and serve them. Some are big, some are little, some are stuffed. All are fun. I'd like to do a chef's tasting menu, with little course after little course coming out, each one set down in front of the eater as the previous empty plate is whisked away. Anybody want to come over?
