BBQ Beef Sandwiches

As it's autumn, I wanted to try something from one of my more autumnal cookbooks, so I recently made BBQ beef sandwiches from the cookbook called Slow-Cooker Fall Favorites, published by Gooseberry Patch.

One of the good things about using a slowcooker is that it does the work for you. Fair enough, the beef turned so tender it was easy to pull apart and all that, but for me, these BBQ beef sandwiches was a bit too boring/bland for me, even as I added some lettuce and used some no-knead ciabatta rolls.

So for me, it wasn't really worth it, but I'm sure someone else might enjoy them more than what I did.

Salmon With Spinach and Horseradish Sour Cream

Sorry that I haven't been good at updating here lately, but I'll play a bit catch-up starting today, posting about some of the things I've made in the last couple of months. First off, salmon with spinach and horseradish sour cream, which I made from a Norwegian cookbook called "365 sunne middager på en halvtime" edited by Ingrid Espelid Hovig (roughly translated as "365 healthy dinners in less than 30 minutes). Obviously, based on the title of the cookbook, it's a dinner that's fairly quick to make, which is always a good thing. When I baked the salmon in the oven, I decided making it a bit more interesting flavour-wise by adding pink pepper. Overall, it was an okay dinner, and the flavour of the horseradish gave it a nice little kick without being overpowering.

Why Am I Starting This Blog?

I've been thinking about starting this blog for quite some time and I decided to bite the bullet and actually do it. Why? Because even though Instagram is fun and all that, I felt it didn't quite work out for me the way I wanted. Anyway, let's go back to some time last year. As a book dragon who loves to cook and bake, I naturally have quite a collection of cookbooks (perhaps no shocker there), but I rarely used them. Some? Yes, but most certainly not the vast majority. So I went through them all with page markers (those small sticky post-it style things) and marked each page where I found a recipe I wanted to try that looked interesting and/or tasty. It was a bit labour-intensive as I've got quite a collection of cookbooks, but it was still fun to do. I slowly started working my way, making some of the recipes, while also posting on Instagram and creating a hashtag for the project ( #kristinscookbookproject ). As I mentioned, Instagram is fun and all that, but with th...

Acehnese Chicken With Curry Leaves

As there was a combined Asian and Middle-Eastern grocery store that has finally opened in the small coastal town where I live, it made it a lot easier for me finding some non-western cooking ingredients that the "regular" grocery stores and supermarkets don't have. One of those things being curry leaves, which meant I could finally make Acehnese Chicken with Curry Leaves from the cookbook named Coconut & Sambal by Lara Lee. While this was perhaps a slightly more complicated and time-consuming recipe, it was still fairly easy to make. Even with A LOT of chili in it, it didn't taste too overpowering spicy hot, but I do enjoy when the food has a kick to it. I can admit I'm more used to Thai, Chinese, and Indian food, so I do enjoy trying something a bit different from time to time, and I'll probably make this one again some time.
