JGE 112 - Cauliflower and Mushroom Roast

Good Day,

Last night I tried, thank you, Martha Stewart, I attempted a Cauliflower-And-Mushroom Roast.

Supper was terrific.

I pretty much followed the recipe, but I did use Portabella Mushrooms.

My blood sugar did drop 7 points this morning to 109 mg/dL, sort-of a see-saw from yesterday.

JGE 111 - Brazilian Fish Casserole

Good Day,

Last night supper - Swai Brazilian Fish Casserole and Jamaican Rice and Beans.

I found this recipe on Clifford A. Wright’s book “Bake until Bubbly”,, John Wiley & Sons, Inc, NJ, 2008.

Here are the ingredients called for –

2 tbsps Red Palm Oil – I used Coconut Oil
1 large Onion, finely chopped
4 large or 28 oz. can Tomatoes, drained
1 ½ lbs Yellowtail, Mahi Mahi, or Sea Bass – I used Swai, cut into 1 ½ cubes; I cut portions
1 14-oz can unsweetened Coconut Milk
2 tbsps freshly squeezed Lemon Juice – I used Lime Juice
2 tbsps chopped Parsley
3 Garlic Cloves, crushed
1 fresh Red Jalapeño or Serrano Chile, finely chopped – I used a Green Jalapenõ
1 tsp freshly Ground Black Pepper –
½ tsp Salt – For both the Salt and Pepper I used 2 tsps+ of Badia Adobo Con Pimienta


I followed the instructions which are very, very simple but once again I sort of deviated from the actual recipe.

I turned the oven on to bake at 350˚F. I used a cast iron skillet and cooked the chopped Onion in the Coconut Oil. Following the recipe, but not using a separate casserole dish I just threw everything, excepting the Jalapeño into the Onion and Coconut Oil in the cast iron skillet. Once everything was gently mixed and blended I put the skillet into the oven and baked for 15 minutes. I did sprinkle the chopped Jalapeño on top of each plate. I definitely will repeat this one.

Supper was terrific.

My blood sugar did drop 7 points this morning to 109 mg/dL, sort-of a see-saw from yesterday.

JGE 110 - Japanese Beef Curry

Good Day,

Last night I tried something completely new and very, very different. I cooked and ate Japanese Beef Curry.

What you see is the completed dish, the Japanese Beef Curry on top of Jasmine Rice all topped with broiled Mozzarella Cheese.

I discovered the recipe, completely by chance at the site Pressure Cook Recipes.

Was this good? Is the sky blue?

Easy to make with few ingredients but it does take about 3+ hours to prepare.

Ingredients were quite simple, and I adjusted a bit for two of us -

1 pound Beef Chuck Tender steak
6+ medium Garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 cup unsalted Chicken Broth
2 Golden Curry roux cubes
1 tbsp Soy Sauce

1 1/2 pounds Yellow Onions, thinly sliced
3 tbsps unsalted Butter
Kosher Salte and ground Black Pepper

1 cup Jasmine Rice
1 1/2 cups Water

Mozzarella Cheese, grated for topping

I will say that the preparation did take some time, especially the mise-en-place and the cooking of the ingredients, the onions. I followed the well thought-out instructions at Pressure Cook Recipes...and I used my Instant Pot.

Here are some images, and I'm not creating a cookbook, just some quick shots with my iPhone.

Supper was terrific.

My blood sugar did go up 7 points this morning to 116 mg/dL, and if I had eaten anymore I am sure that my FBS would have gone up a couple more ticks.

Right, I used my Instant Pot.
