Hello Tuesday, I wasn't really ready for you yet, but you came around anyway.
This week's recipe is for Snobby Joe's, the V-Con version of sloppy Joe's. The recipe features lentils instead of meat and a decent homemade sauce.
Rikki and I both had less than stellar results from our takes on this recipe, but Courtney liked hers after a bit of tweaking. I am still new enough to the cooking world that I get kind of nervous changing things up . I am hoping to get better about adding my own creative flair as I get more experience cooking different things in the kitchen. Having said all of that, I will definitely make these again. John was super excited about his sammich and I enjoyed mine too even if it wasn't perfect.
Some of my ingredients... I didn't include my spices and I didn't use bell peppers because I can't stand them. On a side note, we went to Rikki's last week for dinner and had some roasted bell peppers that were delicious. I may have to revisit my pregnancy induced aversion to bell peppers soon...but not today :)
Sauteeing the onions and garlic. I love the way those veggies smell when they are cooking.
Cooking up all of the ingredients...it looks like lentils in spaghetti sauce, but I promise it is Snobby Joe's.
The finished product. I included a picture of my beer because I am proud to be expanding my horizons in the beer tasting arena. I am normally a Coors Light kind of girl, but I want to be a woman with refined tastes haha.Be sure to check out Rikki and Courtney's blogs to see their takes on this recipe, and to see some much better quality pics :)
Happy Tuesday! See you tomorrow for Wednesday Wishes and then I am off for a few days to do some camping.
It's only cooking lady! Don't be scared of it! I think 99% of the time I just read the recipe for a guideline; I am ALWAYS changing things around because I've gotten to know what I like and what I don't and what flavor combos I like together (cumin and thyme belong in EVERYTHING!)
ReplyDeleteI told Rikki maybe we should do a Snobby Joe's revisited post as a bonus in a few months...
Oh Also- I am a totaly beer snob! I won't drink from a can (ever!)and LOVE white biers. Yummy. Really though, I am a Gin and Tonic kinda girl...it's the housewife in me.
I hope you got my CD and Skype invite!
