what i am eating

I love cooking and eating, and I especially love looking at pictures of food!  If you love food as much as I do, please add your food pictures/recipes/food related posts to the linky below.  All you have to do is link back to this blog post.  I look forward to seeing what everyone else is eating this week!


I would love it if you could grab the what i am eating badge below, include it in the post you are sharing, put it on your link page, or put it on your side bar.  Thanks!

what i am eating

Typically I think of coleslaw as a summer BBQ side
dish.  But, it is something I have been
eating a lot more of recently.  Why?  Well, because cabbage, carrots and onions are
all fall season, and storage crops.  I
absolutely love coleslaw, I know not everyone does, but I do.  I especially love spicy coleslaw.

This is one that my sister-in-law wrote about a long time
ago on her blog, spicy coleslaw.  It uses
chipotle in adobo – one of my favorite spicy seasonings!  My take was a bit different, mainly because I
cannot follow a recipe.  I finely
shredded a large head of cabbage, a couple carrots, and finely sliced an onion
(yes a whole onion – we like onion here!). 
I sprinkled it all with a bit of sea salt.  Then I mixed up equal parts mayo and sour
cream (I think probably ¼ cup each) added a bit of lemon juice, maybe 2
teaspoons, a couple chopped garlic cloves and one finely chopped chipotle in
adobo.  I mixed that all together and
then added a bit of milk to thin it out. 
Then I poured the dressing over the shredded veggies, and voila! coleslaw.  It was amazingly delicious.  While most treat it as a side dish, I ate it
as my lunch, sharing some with the kiddos, who seem to love anything that is
mixed with mayonnaise.
Now for my favorites
from last week:

Kale Quinoa and Avocado Salad – pouring down like rain
Feta Cheese Quiche – culinary flavors
Cilantro Lime Salsa – Soup Spice Everything Nice
I can’t wait to see
what everyone else is eating!  Please

I seem to be in a bit of a sweets phase right now.  Not that we are only eating sweets right now, but it seems like the only things I am taking pictures of are the sweets!  These are the most delicious banana bites I have ever had.  3 very simple ingredients – bananas, unsalted natural peanut butter, dark chocolate.

Slice bananas and put a small amount of peanut butter on top.  Stick bananas in the freezer for about 10 minutes.  Melt a bar of dark chocolate – I used one Newman’s Own Organics Super Dark (70%) Chocolate Bar which was just about enough for 2 bananas.  Roll frozen bananas and peanut butter in the chocolate with two forks.  Put back in freezer.  Seriously delicious!  I think a little sprinkle of sea salt on top would have made these divine, but my kids gobbled them up without the salt, and that is fine with me!

    Bananas is one of the only foods I just don't do. Maybe I'll make them out of the other ingredients though…chocolate and pb 😉

      I definitely think you could easily make peanut butter cups by freezing some peanut butter and rolling it in melted chocolate…I think that will be my next experiment 🙂
