Meatless meals 2

Making:

Quinoa and veggies 

1 serving prepared 

Here's what I have:

1 cup Veggie broth 
1/2 cup Quinoa 
1/4 cup Parsley chopped 
2 cups Cauliflower 
1 cup Red cabbage 
1/2 cup Sugar snap peas 
1 tbsp Tones Tuscan garlic seasoning blend

Not pictured:
1 tsp butter 

Preperation:

The kid who I was prepared first after boiling the broth. I put the quinoa in along with the butter and brought to a boil then cooked for 15 minutes simmering. 

After the 15 minutes the Tuscan garlic seasoning and parsley were added and well mixed in. This was set to the side to finish absorbing the rest of the liquid while I got the vegetables ready for steaming.

Using a steamer basket and about 3 cups of water brought to a boil the veggies were placed in the basket. These were steamed at high heat for 10 minutes before plating. Any additional salt,  oil or seasoning can be added at this point.

The plate:

This was a fast meatless meal for a lazy kitchen day. The veggies could be switched out easily or protien added.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
