In honor of Saint Patrick's Day, I just finished cooking my first corned beef and cabbage dinner of the week.

Baked salmon with coarse black pepper and salt, on lemon slices, steamed broccoli and brown rice. Simple and fast, rice is made in rice cooker - total preparation time is less than 5 minutes. Cooking time; salmon and broccoli 12 minutes at the same time. Brown rice takes 2 hours at gaba setting (reason for slow cooking is to preserve the taste and rice cooker holds it warm all, day so you can start the rice at breakfast) and I order only the best tasting Nishiki rice from Amazon as you don’t have to add any condiments, gravy, or anything to this rice.

Oh, and the wine is Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc 2017 (Napa). Both the rice and the wine are from California.

Health freak! (Actually, that sounds pretty good. Especially the homemade bread).

Tonight we just had subs.

Last night we had creole jambalaya that I'd made the day before. Recipe for around 4 quarts total:
1.5 tbsp veggie oil
1.5 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 lb skinless boneless chicken breast cut into bite-sized chunks
1 lb peeled, deveined medium shrimp, tails off
1 lb andaouille sausage made with pork (not turkey sausage)
3/4 cup chopped celery (around 2 stalks)
1 cup chopped scallions (aka "green onions"), around a whole 4-oz bunch
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 medium or large green bell pepper, diced (for color you can make it 1 small green and 1 small purple or orange, red is too sweet)
1 4-cup box chicken stock (not broth)
1 14-oz can diced tomatoes
3 medium cloves garlic, chopped or minced
3.5 cups parboiled long-grain rice, well-rinsed
1 bay leaf
2 tsp corn starch (optional if you want a thicker consistency)

This is a single-pot dish but requires a few bowls. Use a stovetop dutch oven or stew pot.

Heat the oil on medium-high.

Toss chicken and 1 tbsp Cajun spices, then add to the pot, cooking and turning til browned, around 6 minutes. Set chicken aside.
Leaving the "juice" in the pot, add the sausage. Cook around 8 minutes, and set aside in a second bowl.
Leave the drippings in the pot again, and add the shrimp and remaining Cajun spices. Cook around 3 minutes til all shrimp are opaque, and dump them on top of the chicken to set aside.

Toss all the veggies into the pot, cook (and stir) til softened, around 8 minutes.

Add chicken stock, tomatoes, garlic, and corn starch if you want it thickened. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add the rice, sausage, and the bay leaf. Reduce heat to simmer and cook, covered, til the rice absorbs most of the liquid. Around 15 minutes. Then stir the chicken and shrimp back into the pot, heating another 3 minutes or so.

Serve with extra chopped scallions on top for decoration if you like.

It is a good recipe, but I would suggest making it without the 3.5 cups of rice. Make it without the rice and serve it with rice on the side as desired. The rice will soak up all of the liquid and overwhelm the dish. Some people do not like that much rice.

We had split pea soup with potatoes, carrots, and ham. Was delicious with my homemade dinner rolls. For dessert we’re going to have brownies with lots and lots of walnuts.

I just made a pizza tonight. I confess that I did use an prepared ultra thin pie crust but I liked the result anyway. I made the sauce with garlic and oregano, and used a combination of cheese plus pepperoni and olives. It was good.
