Living Insanity's Loving Food

 3+ peaches olive oil Crushed tomatoes sugar garlic onion onion powder garlic powder cayenne paprika salt pepper Apple cider vinegar To peel the peaches, boil for 45 seconds and then dump in an ice bath.  You can feel the skins off with your fingers.  Remove peach pit.  Puree peaches in a food processor or blender.  In a saucepan cook onion and garlic with some olive oil.  Add the peach puree, some tomato, seasonings, lemon juice, vinegar and sugar.  Cook down for a few hours.  Taste and adjust seasonings.  Use an immersion blender to create a smooth sauce.  We used this sauce on some pork chops and I have no idea why there is no photo!  We must have been HUNGRY.

Hello Fresh tacos are so great.  This one has a pineapple salsa.  To make the salsa you take a pineapple fruit cup, strain the pineapple saving the juices in a bowl.  Mince about a tablespoon or two of onion.  Add diced jalapeno and some chopped fresh cilantro.  Add lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.  That pineapple juice gets tossed on your taco seasoned pork at the end of cooking.  YUM.  

 Aldi has German week and most of this meal is from Aldi.  Pork schnitzel that I pan fried and topped with swiss and mustard.  Cheese spaetzle that comes frozen and you just toss in a pan, red cabbage from a jar that was heat up a little bit.  The applesauce is homemade.  Rebecca and I went apple picking when it was Honeycrisp time.  This applesauce was so good.  Just cut up about 10 apples, toss in crockpot, add a bit of water, half a cup sugar, and cinnamon.  

Hello Fresh pork taquitos is one of my favorite recipes and I have made it a few times now.  It was pretty quick to put together and it has a lot of flavor.  

Boyfriend requested swiss mushroom burgers this weekend and I feel like it has been a long time since we had them.  I bought pre made hamburger patties, but I seasoned them with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder.  I caramelized the onions with butter, salt, and sugar.  I used mayo and mustard on my burger.  Boyfriend chose bbq sauce.  Yum yum

 Walmart sells a tube of ground turkey that is Italian seasoned.  It made for a really great spaghetti sauce.  We used all the usual spaghetti seasonings, but since ground turkey is usually not very flavorful I think this is a good product.  I actually bought another tube of Italian and I bought a Mexican seasoned one as well.  I think the Mexican could be good for tacos or a big batch of chili!

These were so good I have to make them again and soon!  Adam wanted burgers at the beach house so I took the ground pork out of the freezer and the rest of the ingredients were things I had.  Make these!  The caramelized onions with sriracha and lime blew my mind. Ingredients: 2 brioche bun 2 slices gouda cheese 1 sweet onion, sliced thinly.  You will need about 2 tablespoons minced onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 limes, for juice and zest!  The recipe saids 1 lime, but I used 2 1 teaspoon sriracha 1/2 teaspoon paprika 2 tablespoons mayo 2 tablespoons sour cream 10 ounces ground pork 3/4 teaspoon sugar butter olive oil salt and pepper Melt butter in a pan, add thinly sliced onion, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and a little salt.  Stir around the pan until soft and brown.  Do not let these burn!  Add a little touch of water if pan gets too hot.  This should take around 10 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in a squeeze of lime juice and sriracha....

 People rave about this dish, but I thought it was just ok.  I probably wouldn't order it again.

 I made the last of my Aldi veal cutlets.  So sad :(  we have to wait for another German or Italian week to find them again.  I had tons of fresh basil in the yard.  It struggled when the temps went over 100.  I'm hoping it rebounds and we can keep it going all summer.   You just have to pan fry these patties in some oil a few minutes each side.  We made our usual spaghetti sauce and noodles.  I bought the nice big ball of mozzarella cheese and cut it into slices.  When the veal is cooked through place it on a sprayed baking sheet, top with sauce, and cheese, and pop under the broiler until the cheese is nicely melted.  Then serve over the noodles and sauce.  Sprinkle of parmesan or basil and you are done!  It's really fast.  I highly recommend buying these veal patties.

  There is now an Ellicott City location for gangster dogs.  It's by the Ritas at Frederick Road and St John's Lane.  I got the Chicago style dog and it was spicy and so good.  I'd get it again.  Adam said his mostly tasted of cheese and not chorizo.  For around $8 they are pricy, but a fun lunch option.
