Ginger and Turmeric Noodle Soup

I knew this was my next recipe as soon as I saw it.  Restorative soup sounded good today and it became dinner.  It may even be vegan (?), I just didn't check each ingredient (the veggie stock mainly), but the noodles for sure were.  What I used with my minor edits:

Four Cheese Lasagna

I was having company over for dinner and lasagna was one of their requests when I asked them what they liked.  So I went with homemade Caesar salad, cheesy (Mozza, Grana Padano, Provolone & Ricotta - 5 lbs at least!) lasagna and homemade garlic bread.  Oh, and Tuxedo cake for dessert but I bought that at Costco.  I decided to assemble and bake this the day before.  I would just heat it up when they arrived.  I made the sauce two days before.

Loaded Cauliflower Casserole

I chose to make this instead of baked taters tonight.  We were having NY Strip steak and I though this would make a good side for it, along with sauteed mushrooms.

Singapore Fried Curry Noodles

When I was in my 20's if I got "Chinese Food" delivery, I always, always, always ordered Singapore fried noodles - loved the curry and the thin noodles.  I rarely do anymore as there are many other chowmein noodles dishes I prefer though every now and then, I have them for "old times sake".  Making it homemade sounded like a nice challenge for myself... This recipe popped up on my news feed and I decided to give it a go, adapting it for my likes.  I headed to the Asian market.  I picked up the Shaoxing wine @ $1.79 for a 600 ml bottle.  I also grabbed the BBQ pork and noodles @ $1.29.

Black Vinegar Pork

I've slowly been working my way through freezer items.  I found some pork loin and decided to make this recipe.  I love black vinegar (Chinkiang), plus I had all the ingredients in my home, which is always a bonus.  I doubled the recipe as I had 2 lbs of pork in the freezer.  I served this with roasted broccoli w/ Everything Bagel seasoning and coconut cilantro quinoa with lime zest.

Garlic Cilantro Hummus

I had company coming for dinner.  I was putting together a cheese/meat board and decided to make some hummus.

This post is old and from when zucchini was in season.  I just found it my drafts so published it...

Pastitcio (Greek Lasagna)

I've never made but have always wanted to.  I decided on this by Chef Michael Symon.  I've been holding this recipe since he was on "The Chew".  I used my deep dish lasagna pan to make it in.  I had to edit and improvise a little; no lamb, fresh oregano or whip cream as I didn't have any of these in my kitchen tonight.
