Roasted Veggies from Yahoo Food and The Cat Hair Cook.......

The Easiest Way to Make Roasted Veggies

feed_manager_auto_publish_494--autopubtest_WPTUMBLR_485 
Whenever I come home and am finally #blessed with a homecooked meal, the first thing I demand is my mom’s roasted vegetables. The woman is a saint when it comes to cookin’ veggies. How the does she do it?
When I finally asked what her secret is, I was shocked. It’s the simplest recipe I’ve ever heard.
All you need is olive oil, the seasoning of your choice, and an oven. Done. Oh, and don’t forget the vegetables.
Roasted Veggies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
1 head broccoli
1 zucchini
1 sweet potato
1 purple potato
1 bag baby carrots
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Directions:
  1. Chop up all the veggies you’re cookin’. #SpoonTip: For the vegetables that cook more slowly, cut them smaller. For the ones that cook more quickly, cut them bigger. Easy, right?
  2. Put all the vegetables back in the bag you got from the grocery store (or any plastic bag of your choice).
  3. Add olive oil to the veggies until they’re lightly coated. Add salt and pepper and other seasonings if you’re feelin’ fancy.
  4. Mix ’em up until all the veggies are evenly coated.
  5. Spread veggies onto a foil-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the oven at 400°F for 30 minutes.

Sausage Trio, Mash and Cabbage with Onion Gravy. Nice and hearty on a cold Autumn day. I got the Moroccan, Lamb Spinach and Pinenut, and Chicken, asparagus and corn, sausages from David Jones Food Hall in Melbourne. They tasted quite good, but I remember them being more chunky and less processed. They are better quality than most "thin" sausages, higher meat content and less fatty. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Eggs make all the difference in mashed potatoes

Much as I'd like to take credit for this rich version of mashed potatoes, that honor goes to Stanley Tucci. Or rather, to Stanley Tucci's wife.
That's because when Tucci isn't cranking out movies like "The Hunger Games" and "Julie & Julia," he's often in the kitchen with his wife, Felicity Blunt. They draw on their respective cultures — his Italian, hers British — to come up with some pretty interesting creations, many of them collected in the pair's new cookbook, "The Tucci Table" (Gallery Books, 2014).
To wit, these mashed potatoes, which Tucci says were mostly his wife's creation. The prep itself is pretty standard; it's the add-ins where things get good. Tucci and Blunt use olive oil instead of cream or milk. The result is richly savory and just a bit peppery. A bit of butter — olive oil and butter are classic Italian combination — ties it all together.
But then it gets really interesting. To finish the potatoes, they beat in an egg yolk. Yes, raw. This takes the creamy richness of the mashed potatoes to a whole new level, and you'll wonder why you never did this before.
The recipe below is (very) loosely adapted from Tucci and Blunt's version. For the Thanksgiving table, I wanted a bit of fried sage in my mashed potatoes. I also upped the volume to account for the usual holiday crowd, and figured a little (OK, a lot) extra butter wasn't such a bad thing. If raw eggs give you the willies, look for pasteurized whole eggs at the grocer.

ULTRA-RICH MASHED POTATOES
Start to finish: 35 minutes
Servings: 10
5-pound bag Yukon gold potatoes
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
10 large fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
2 egg yolks
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-inch chunks. Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and add enough cool water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender at the center when pierced with a knife.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-high, melt the butter. Add the sage leaves and fry until crisp and just barely turning brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
When the potatoes are done, drain them, then return them to the pot. Set the pot over medium heat and heat the potatoes for 1 minute, shaking the pan frequently, to help dry the potatoes. Remove the pot from the heat, then use a masher to mash the potatoes, drizzling in the olive oil as you work.
When the potatoes are mashed, pour in the butter and fried sage, stirring them in. The sage will crumble and mix into the potatoes. Add the egg yolks and quickly stir them into the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

Just tried the new Yahoo app for Google Chrome....Love it!

It gives me the Yahoo home page on a new tab.

Now, I love Google and use it on my Chromebook several times a day--every day--all day.

But, I also like the Yahoo Newspaper---read it every day for  current news and trending news, can easily see the weather.....it's pretty.

I like the set-up of the Yahoo Newspaper and it is easy to use.....but what is really beautiful are all of those recipes.

It seems like Marissa Mayer really hit the nail on the head with this little newspaper and the food page.

The foods pictured have useful recipes, easy and difficult, good nutrition and calorie info......it's fun to visualize.

Also, reading Google News everyday, too, and of course, G-mail is the bomb.

Tech girl and blogger.......love it.....the ronnie republic.

Have you seen Yahoo Food: Featuring Garbonzo Beans--Spicy Roasted

study published yesterday in the scientific journal “Cell Metabolism” links overconsumption of meat and cheese with bad health.
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.
This “news” can be filed under Things That Have Been Super Obvious for Decades. The specifics of the study’s findings are as follows: People between 50 and 65 years old whose diets are high in animal protein are 74% more likely to pass on early than those who either consume less animal protein or who get their protein from plant-based sources. (Why does it cut off at 65? Because seniors have trouble getting sufficient protein, so they’re urged to up their consumption. Go nuts, guys!)
It’s a reminder we could all use, no matter our age, to diversify the sources of our protein intake. “The evidence is overwhelming and incredibly consistent that people who eat plant-based products have a reduced risk of death,” Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center, told ABC News. You can eat meat andcheese, just in moderation. For all those other meals, here are some suggestions:
image
This could be a snack or a salad topping—and honestly, we’d mash them on toast, too.
image
Quinoa, the wonder grain, is packed with protein. Also: asparagus!Spring is coming!
image
Throw pepitas on a salad for texture or grab a handful for the road.
image
Almonds are another great option.
image
It’s time to make tofu a consistent part of your diet. And it’s no sweat! The soybean product takes on the flavor of whatever you serve with it.
image
Peanut butter is high in protein, and yes, there’s some in thisbreakfast smoothie!
image
See? There’s a little bit of cheese on there! Go for dried beans so you can control the sodium levels.
