My thing is cannellini with slow roasted cherry tomatoes and leeks. Besides soaking and cooking the beans, and cleaning the leeks, it's super easy. I either eat it with polenta or pasta-- or even by itself. I've decided I'm a big fan of slow roasting, especially with small tomatoes, because all I have to do is give them a rinse and a quick dry with a towel, stick them on a cookie sheet with some olive oil and salt & pepper, and cook them for about 2 hours at 250F. What could be easier? And, slow roasted leeks are not too much more complicated, though there are more steps to take to get the dirt out and to get them soft and wonderful than there are to the tomatoes.
What are you into right now? I seem to go through phases with food and want to get inspired before I get too burnt out on this combination.

Re: What Are You Really Into Right Now?
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 6:40 PMO.K., now - it's really bad for you, but *so* yummy! I've been chowing down on pork rinds dredged through cream cheese. Specifically, my favorite combination is spicy pork rinds and smoked jalapeno cream cheese. Oh. My. Goddess. YUM!!! Since I pretty much only eat low G.I. foods (unless I fall off the wagon with Cajun tater tots and ranch with beer, or some such thing), it's "legal" *and* feels very decadent. Mmmmm . . . Healthy, no. Lazy, hell yes! Fattening? Only if you're doing it wrong. ;o) ~ Misha

The "Ready To Eat" meals I get at the Indian Market in Dublin not far from me. I put it on white rice. Paneer Butter Masala. There are three I like ALOT. Have to get the names later. $1.50 each. INCREDIBLE taste! And believe it or not it it really is a filling and satisfying meal for under two dollars. -

Re: What Are You Really Into Right Now?
Tue, March 11, 2008 - 9:49 PMIt's not necessarily healthy but I've been really enjoying something simple I used to eat alot of when I was younger. Two pieces of wheat bread, one slice of cheese and one slice of turkey. Microwave for 1 minute and presto, insta-munchies. I think I will go make 2 or 3 now. Yay. -
