That salad looks delish JB - not sure I've ever seen pomegranate molasses. I remember you saying you got some at WF. I wonder if it's known as anything else.

It's basically pomegranate syrup (there is a recipe here for it on Zaar, but I was lazy). It's a Middle Eastern condiment evidently! Couldn't read the label LOL.

Thanks for that JB....good to know I could try my hand at making it. Every now and again we get poms around here and they come in huge quantities so the price is usually pretty good. It sound like a great ingredient to have on hand.

I think most of you are on the ZWT, but there are so many threads to read thru - I don't think I'll ever see what you guys are making! So I thought I'd just mention this here. At first glance the ingredients look a little odd, but honestly, makes a very delicious chinese dish. I think you'd like it!

Hi All! All the photos looks so yummy.

This week made three very good recipes:

Loula’s Oven-Baked Balsamic Cherry Tomatoes With Rosemary #422768 more photos under Sweet little tomatoes

Sweet Baboo’s Truly Low Carb Hot Cereal #221284

Pot Scrubber’s Mexican Rice #117892 which calls for chicken stock but vegetable stock works.

That rice above looks great Deb!

New one added to my book, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I think I jumped on that TVP bandwagon too!

Swedish "meat" Balls With Gravy (Vegan)

[Lalaloula]

Hey there!

Magpie, are you on the tour as well? I presume it will get very quiet around here for the next 6 weeks. Well, have a blast on the tour and make sure to share some pics of your yummy food and the challenges with us. Id luv to hear about that!

Mmm, that brokkoli dish sounds very yummy to me. I luv water chestnuts, but sadly dont know where to buy them here. I guess an Asian market would be the place to got, but havent been able to locate one here. Ill keep looking though.

Debbie, mmm, you have been eating well again! Luv all the pics. They are truly wonderful!
Thank you so much for trying out my tomato recipe. Im so happy that you enjoyed it! I luv the pic! Its soooo beautiful and really sells the dish! The colours are great!
Wow, that cereal looks so creamy and as if it would keep you going all day long. I luv the way you shot it with the dry mix in the back. Very nicely staged!
And mexican, too? YUM!!! The rice looks so tomatoey and spicy. What did you serve it with?

Ive been eating lots of lovely dishes these past few weeks, too. Here are some highlights:
Boreks (Turkish Appetizers) #362535 by Mary Winecoff (really easy and sooooo tasty!)


Roasted Garbanzo Beans/Chickpeas #331939 by Mama's Kitchen (a great snack!)


Devil’s Red-Hot Millet Hash (Vegetarian) #204609 by Chrystabel (such a great way of serving millet!)

Good morning,

Magpie, fantastic shot of very yummy looking Swedish meat balls. Like the way the mushrooms show in the gravy without taking away from the meat balls.

Loula, so many yummy looking photos! Are the Chickpeas any thing like wasabi peas? Which I love and DH hates.
How cool to make pesto out of asparagus to bad asparagus is already out of season here. We only get it for a few weeks.
The lentil casserole looks and sounds so good that I had to save it.

This week I had four that were worth bring over to here.

Starting with a bright sunny Citrus Compote #421148 by ellie

A great cool coffee drink for any coffee addict such as myself there is Pink Diamond’s Iced Cappuccino #426987

Then there was Lainey6605’s Egg Casserole for Two #206038 proving eggs can easily go from breakfast, lunch, to dinner.

And last but oh very far from least there is Lainey6605’s A Really Good Tomato Recipe #242319 a very quick and easy dish that is very very tasty. (recommend baking)

[Lalaloula]

Oh my, oh my Debbie, all those pics look luscious!

What a yummy array of different recipes! Mmm, I wish I could have some of that for lunch right now. Have to wait til sis gets back from uni (yes, she has school today) to get something to eat. Sigh....

Anyways, that iced coffee looks soooooo scrummy! Luv the way you have captured its icy beauty. It looks so refreshing!
Do you think that would work well with chocolate, too. Im such a sucker for iced chocolate anything. lol

Oh citrus compte, what an interesting breakkie dish. Was it as sour and refreshing as it looks? We have a saying here in Germany: Sour makes you happy. I bet this would make you really happy.

The egg casserole and baked tomatoes make my tummy growl. Very appetising shots! I cant help but noticing, that your pics are getting better and better. The lighting is so stunning in all of them as is the focus! Somehow your newer pics have this mellow, romantic shimmer to them. Very beautiful! Lovely colours, too.

Thanks so much for sharing these bauties with us!

As for the chickpeas, they are really crunchy and kinda crumble into your mouth when you chew them. I imagine wasabi peas to be similar. I cant say for certain, though cause I am not very fond of wasabi peas myself. My mum adores them, so I was planning on making some for her soon. Made some wasabi almonds by Bergy, which were great for a start.

[Debbwl]

Loula, your pour sis having uni on a Sunday. Hope she gets home soon and the two of you make yourselves a treat.

Yes I think the coffee should work with chocolate.

The Citrus compte was a nice mix of sweet and sour. The sugar option is really not needed.

[magpie diner]

It's lunchtime here and my toast is in the toaster so I thought I'd check in. But now my PB&J sandwich isn't looking so interesting after looking at your recent posts!!

Just to answer your Q Loula - yes on the "tour" again this year. It's quite the whirlwind. I found that meatball recipe online obviously looking around for something Swedish-ish vegan style. Actually, I really enjoyed that, glad I found it. It has a hint of nutmeg, a little unusual.

Hope to have something good to photograph tonight! Enjoy the rest of your weekend....

[Debbwl]

Had lots of winning recipes this week but think these were a little above the others:
The80srule Power Protein Yogurt With Whey & Flax #425191
Sweet Baboo’s Low Sugar Dessert Topping and Filling #314496
Noo’s Basil and Lime Granita #317680
Dancer^’s Tomato Phyllo Pizza #121962

[magpie diner]

Good looking eats Debbwl!

Wanted to share this one - not made for any tag game They were really really good (considering it's "just" potatoes!).
Roasted New Potatoes With Lemon Horseradish

[Debbwl]

Magpie, those potatoes look out sound good.

This week made two must try and very very yummy drinks to share:

1st up is I’mPat’s Banana and Chocolate Shake #380990 Made using Dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder. The dark cocoa is hard to find but defiantly worth looking for.

2nd is Pink Diamond’s Homemade Eggnog #426272 Made with 1% milk and Splenda sweetener instead of sugar.

[magpie diner]

Oh Gosh, the whole change over thing and ZWT totally made me forget about this lovely little thread.
I feel so ashamed, I never came back to comment on all your yummy pics and recipes.
Well, now well just try again.

Here are some recipes Ive made during the last few weeks, which were all super yummy. Im trying to eat healthier and lose a few more pounds til Christmas, so most of them are rather good for you, too (some only in moderation, though).
