Sardines Bryan's way

 Hi there all you sardine fans and those, like me, who are acquiring a taste for them.

My nephew Bryan sent me his recipe for sardines.  He likes them from the can (as do some of you) and adds turmeric, black pepper (for anti-inflammatory benefits), and capers.  I gave the recipe a try (see featured photo) and it was the first time I've enjoyed eating sardines! Oh, actually, I forgot to include the black pepper and it still tasted great. 

Be well.

    Capers make anything taste better.

      At least, that's what I think. However, I suppose some -- even you sometimes, Faye? -- don't necessarily like them (or other tangy or savory items). I feel the same way about olives; while I don't want them on everything, I feel they generally improve the taste of just about anything . . . but don't some think them too briny (if that's the right word)?

      I guess it's like cilantro. Some just love it, but it's not for me, though I can stand it better than Faye, I think.

    Aunt Faye I am glad to see you tried the sardines with capers and it helped you enjoy them! The black pepper component is supposed to help with turmeric absorption which is why I like adding it in.

      I have started adding black pepper as a staple in many recipes. Thanks, again, Bryan.

    Thanks Faye and Bryan. I haven't had sardines in a long time, but I will definitely try this recipe.

Homemade Hummus

 Dear Readers, I hope a few of you are still connected. It would be nice to hear from you.  Today, I finished an easy homemade hummus recipe. Hummus--anything made from beans or peas--is by nature not low carb. However, in moderation it is a wonderful addition to the diet.  https://www.inspiredtaste.net/15938/easy-and-smooth-hummus-recipe / My version looks similar to the one with the recipe's post. It is mild for February in Champaign.  Hope you are able to enjoy the day. Happy eating! Faye

Cold soft tofu dish

Image
 Hello, I hope you are staying cool during what, at least in Champaign, is hot weather.  Today, I prepared a cold dish made with silken soft tofu, 3 scallions finely sliced, 1/2 teaspoon (or so) of toasted sesame oil, and a tablespoon of soy sauce (can use coconut amino if you don't use soy.)  I added toasted sesame seeds, listed as optional. You may add other ingredients but the basic recipe was delicious. Refrigerate or eat right away. One thing to keep in mind is that, apparently, silken tofu crumbles easily. I look forward to eating this dish as part of tomorrow's Shabbos lunch. Take care and stay well. Faye

Odd combination?

Thank you for your patience. Food choices of late have not inspired me to post. Tonight begins Shavuot . It is customary to eat dairy foods on this holiday. Thus post's photo features gluten free pizza and a slice of cheesecake. Salad was also part of the meal.  The pizza basically covered my carb portion of the evening. I only had a nimble of cheesecake as I don't think it is gluten free or low carb. However, for tradition, why not?  Happy Shavuot! I hope you are well. Please continue to be careful out there even though some of the COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted. To your good health!
