Living Insanity's Loving Food

Season and cook chicken tenders in the oven.   Warm spicy butter sauce from Walmart on the stove Microwave 90 second uncle Ben's basmati rice Steam broccoli Add a little butter and seasonings to mini naan and toast in the air fryer. It is so good!  Sometimes we make it with frozen meatballs too.  

 Place a seasoned pork loin in the crockpot.  This one was rotisserie seasoned.  Add 2 cans of saurkraut.  Add a diced apple.  Cook until pork is falling apart.  Mine cooked almost all day.  I did end up making the leftovers into a sort of reuben sandwich.  I used some thousand island and cheese and it was awesome.  

This is Adam's aunt's pasta salad recipe.  I have eaten it many times, but I haven't made it.  I plan on making it from now on!  I just got the recipe. Ingredients: 1 box of rotini noodles 1 can of tomato soup 1 bottle of Italian dressing 1 green pepper 1 cucumber 1 onion small container of cherry tomatoes celery seed Directions: Boil the noodles and drain.  Run cold water over noodles to quickly cool down. Dice the green pepper, cucumber, and onion.   Halve the cherry tomatoes Put the noodles and veggies in a large bowl. Add the tomato soup and Italian dressing. Toss until well blended Sprinkle pasta salad with a small amount of celery seed.

Adam and I tried the new neopolitan style pizza restaurant in Columbia for lunch on Friday.  The crust was perfect and so yummy.  I had a white onion tart pizza with arugula added.  Adam had a red pizza with meatballs.  Mine was awesome.  His needed more flavorful sauce.  The lunch portion pizza makes 4 small slices and comes with an extremely underwhelming salad of mixed lettuce, a few tomatoes and onion bits and balsamic dressing which wasn't even the best dressing.  We ordered zucchini fries and they were amazing but so few.  They stuff the cone they are served in with a bunch of mixed lettuce.  There are just enough for 2 people but I would have eaten more!  I have no photos of our food.  We won't be going back.  Our bill was $51 for lunch before tip.  

 I'm not eating potatoes still, so this beef stew uses parsnips instead. Ingredients: 2 lbs stew beef, rolled in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.  Browned in a little oil. 4 carrots, diced 4 parsnips, diced 3 celery stalks, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 can drained green beans 1 32 ounce box beef broth water as needed 1 teaspoon wocestershire sauce 3 bay leaves 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika dash allspice Brown beef on stovetop Add all ingredients to crockpot.  If beef stock alone doesn't cover everything add a bit of water. Cook on high for at least 6 hours When meat is tender it's time to make a cornstrach slurry. Mix 2-4 tablespoons cornstarch in a measuring cup with some of the hot broth.  Stir together.  Add slurry to the crockpot and let it heat through and thicken slightly. Serve stew with biscuits or rolls.  Sprinkle with parsley.
