While Ive heard some interesting stories about some, I've been nothing but impressed by the one I'm in. Many days we've been having simple grilled or baked meat with veggies and fruits from our CSA box on the side. Simple. Perfect. Delicious. And then we got in banana peppers which aren't normally a part of our diet. Enter new recipe. New man favorite.<br />
<br />
1 lb hot ground Italian sausage, cooked<br />
1/2 cup romano cheese<br />
1/2 cup bread crumbs<br />
1 large egg<br />
banana peppers, at least 4<br />
olive oil<br />
4 large tomatoes, 3 tablespoons butter, salt, pepper (or marinara sauce)<br />
<br />
In a bowl mix together the cooked sausage, cheese, bread crumbs, and egg. Cut off the tops of the banana peppers. Remove as much seeds as you can. Stuff meat mixture into peppers.<br />
Pan fry the peppers with olive oil in a skillet. Fry each side until browned.<br />
<br />
If making own marinara sauce, dice tomatoes while cooking the ground sausage. Place tomatoes and butter in a sauce pot. Bring to a simmer and cook while the rest of the meal is being prepared. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<br />
<br />
Serve peppers with sauce poured on top. If desired, sprinkle extra cheese on it.<br />

<br />
1 stick butter<br />
1 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar<br />
1 cup self rising flour<br />
1 cup milk<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
1 cup of peeled and diced peaches (about 2)<br />
1 cup of blackberries<br />
<br />
Grease a baking dish with butter (my glass pie plate works well). Take what's left of the stick and melt slowly in microwave.<br />
Meanwhile mix together 1 cup sugar, flour, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Once butter is melted add it to the batter and mix well. Pour batter into greased dish. Distrube the peaches and blackberries over the batter. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar.<br />
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.<br />

It's full of pictures of what families from around the globe eat in a week, how they prepare their food, how they preserve their food, and shares how much money they spent on their food. It is extremely interesting. (The adult book is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0984074422/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1582462461&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1CXJ6RVDECMTM09ABX1N" target="_blank">Hungry Planet: What the World Eats</a>.)<br />
<br />
In April I noticed these same pictures were making their rounds across the internet. People have been commenting on the amount of processed foods, how some foods are found in many different areas, and how MUCH some people eat and how little others eat. This opened up a very interesting conversation among a group of my friends as we talked about what we eat and how much we spend on groceries. Over the coming weeks I will be sharing pictures and information shared to me of what these families buy and how much they spent from across the country and even on the other side of the world. Each post will only be a snippet but together they will show vast differences in food costs and cuisine. All are families that include young children. Some have stay at home parents. Some have two working parents. Pictures do not include any eating out, but most families eat out very minimally.<br />
<br />
Interested in the original what the world eats pictures?<br />

My family and I were out of town for 6 weeks recently. It was a great adventure on the other side of the country for us. I'll be back to posting soon. :DMrs Sea Monsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08802441980259681472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004469362437390592.post-66227828794477449592013-04-07T09:30:00.000-05:002013-04-07T09:30:01.834-05:00Coconut Custard CakeThis was easily made dairy free for me by using almond milk. It can also be made gluten free if you follow the original recipe. Original recipe is by <a href="http://just-making-noise.blogspot.com/2009/05/coconut-custard-cake.html">Marilyn Beard over at Just Making Noise</a>. It is oh so yummy and I encourage you to try it!<br />
Thank you to Leigh at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SkylarkTucson?fref=ts">Skylark</a> for sharing this recipe with me!<br />
<br />
8 eggs<br />
4 cups milk<br />
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1/2 cup canola oil<br />
2 tsp baking powder<br />
3 cups coconut flakes<br />
1/2-1 cup chopped walnuts<br />
Cinnamon and nutmeg<br />
<br />
With a mixer, combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, oil, and baking powder until smooth. Stir in coconut flakes and walnuts. Pour into 9x13 pan. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and nutmeg. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Top and bottom should be light golden brown.<br />

<br />
Cut a butternut squash in half and remove seeds/strings. Brush lightly with oil and bake covered face up at 375 F for 45 minutes.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile chop and sauté together:<br />
two Yves veggie Italian brats (can use other veggie sausages, but these are a clear favorite).<br />
half a container of slice white mushrooms<br />
handful of scallions (the white part - about six of them)<br />
few handfuls of fresh baby spinach (just wilt into the cooked mixture)<br />
whole container of blue cheese crumbles (add last and just keep on warm)<br />
<br />
When the squash is soft, remove it from the oven and let it cool enough to handle. Scoop out most of the flesh. Mix the flesh into the sautéed mixture. Stuff the squash shells with the mixture.<br />
Bake covered for 15 minutes. Then uncover and bake for 10 more minutes.<br />
<br />
Serves two. There is often leftover mixture.<br />

<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
1/3 heaping cup sugar</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2 teaspoons baking powder</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
1/4 teaspoon salt</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
1 egg, beaten</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
3/4 cup milk</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
1/4 cup canola oil</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
1 teaspoon vanilla extract</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries</div>
</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 regular sized muffin cups. In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add to it the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla - THEN mix everything using a whisk. Don't try to get all the lumps out. Very gently stir in the blueberries. This is a thick batter. Spoon batter into cups, no more than 2/3rds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes.</div>

Only took two attempts to have one that is a new family favorite. This one is very moist thanks to the veggies. Best yet? My toddler LOVES this version!<br />
<br />
1 lb ground beef<br />
1 egg<br />
1 cup of crushed saltine crackers (or bread crumbs, but most store bought have dairy)<br />
1 small onion, finely diced<br />
1 cup pureed vegetables (I've been cooking about 2 cups of frozen mixed veggies and pureeing that)<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
<br />
Mix together. Divide mixture into muffin tins. Top with your favorite sauce (we like a mixture of ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar).<br />
Bake at 350* for 30 minutes.<br />
<br />

Mmmm...all done! These mini meatloaves do freeze well and are conveniently already in individual portions. ;)</div>

And if you're dairy free like me and don't have the time/energy/desire to make mashed potatoes from scratch, these are diary free and have the fewest extra ingredients for an instant potato. I do make the potatoes with Earth Balance "butter" and almond milk. Not as good or as natural as homemade, but homemade doesn't fall into my week night ability!</div>

When he's available for lunch or dinner I'll make a main meal and when he's not I'll make smaller lunch-ish items for my toddler and I.<br />
New meal for us this week is porcupine meatballs. I am going to see how homemade mashed potatoes made with almond milk goes. Last week I made chicken salad. Going to give it another go to see if I can prefect a recipe for my tastes. Trying to get my toddler to eat tuna salad and chicken salad with me, but I know I'm pretty hopeful about that so I will make him something else when I eat those just in case.<br />
