eggplant “lasagna”

A low-carb "lasagna" made with eggplant, ground beef, cheese, and tomato sauce.
The people at church usually hate the healthy food I cook, but this dish was demolished. Definitely a winner.

November 3 2007 day 23 – Baking while being diabetic
Image by DeathByBokeh
Today marks the last day of the weekly focus topic of Food in the Diabetes 365 project. The biggest challenge for a diabetic is food, because what a diabetic consumes directly and immediately impacts blood sugars. We are fortunate that we live in a time where we can continue to indulge in tasty treats while watching our carbs. The advent of sugar-free syrups, low carb. flours, low/non fat cream cheese and other healthy low fat and low carb. ingredients have made it easier for diabetics to concoct tasty treats that rival the original recipe.
I embarked on a baking spree today. I’m trying two new recipes. I’m experimenting with a low fat mocha cheesecake, and I’m also trying to concoct low carb. pumpkin cake. How did they turn out?I don’t know. The cheesecake just came out of the oven, and is cooling down before it goes into the refrigerator. The pumpkin cake is now in the oven, hopefully rising.
I’m just glad that I have the ability to procure the ingredients and try these recipes. Here’s the irony: It is cheaper to eat high carb., high fat foods than it is to lead a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet. This is another sad aspect of diabetes. It is not a poor man’s disease.
There is no cure for diabetes, yet.
Veal w/ Asparagus & Mushrooms
Image by lynn.gardner
Used the recipe for "Veal with Asparagus from Betty Crocker’s Low-Carb Lifestyle Cookbook — one of those sad, neglected cookbooks no-one has borrowed from the library since the low-carb craze died down.
Ingredients: veal scaloppini, asparagus, cremini mushrooms, garlic, shallots, thyme, white wine, olive oil.
While I had high hopes for this dish, we mostly just found it "okay." While the vegetables were perfect, the veal seemed overcooked and the whole dish was a bit bland. If I were to make this again, I would cook the veal less, double the garlic, shallots, and thyme and include liberal amounts of fresh ground salt and pepper. (I might also skip using veal and go with turkey or chicken cutlets).
Recipe: Lasagna

Recipe: Lasagna

Lasagna. With so many variations on this great pasta dish, who’s to say which one is better than the other? This recipe is a combination of the one found on the box of a pack of Barilla Lasagne sheets, and self improvisation for the tomato sauce. i.e. I used a jar of pre-made sauce instead of making it from scratch. This recipe works well as the base of a meat lasagna. Fiddle with it yourself to make your lasagna that suits your own taste.
Ingredients
10 Sheets of Lasagne
450g minced meat
200g cherry tomatoes
100g mushrooms
75g peppers (any colour, doesn’t matter too much)
50g butter
50g onions, diced finely
50g grated parmesan cheese
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
15g bay leaves, finely chopped
Glass of white wine, coffee (both optional)
Bechamel sauce
1 litre of milk
45g butter
45g flour
15g nutmeg
Recipe
1) In a large skillet, brown the onions in oil [2] along with your garlic. Add your meat to the mixture [3] and cook for another 5 minutes. Once meat is almost fully cooked, season this mixture to taste with some added goods. I added about 3 tablespoons of freshly brewed coffee [4] to the above but didn’t make too much of a noticable impression. Next time I’ll add more. 1 glass of white wine was also added [5]. Cook until wine has fully evaporated.
2) Add mushrooms and enough tomato sauce to make the sauce fairly liquid [6]. Mix thoroughly [7]. Add your peppers [12] and extra tomatoes [13] to the tomato sauce and mix again. Add bay leaves to mixture. Set aside on low heat.
3) Make the Bechamel sauce in another pot [8].
4) Grease the edges of an oven dish. Line the bottom with a layer of bechamel sauce [14]. Piece two sheets of lasagne on top. Then add a layer of the meat sauce. Add another layer of bechamel sauce, and sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Repeat for enough layers to fill the oven dish [15].
5) Bake in oven for 20 minutes at 200C [16].
Bechamel Sauce
1) In a pot, bring milk to a boil [8]. In another pot, melt the butter [9]. Add flour and pour in the hot milk. Be sure to whisk immediately so as not to form any clumps of flour. When mixture boils, remove from heat and add nutmeg and salt to taste [11].
Sidenote: This recipe called for using the no-cooking lasagne sheets, which rely on the moisture from the bechamel and tomato sauces. If your sauces are not liquid enough, the layers of lasagne sheets may still be hard after baking. Use sheets of lasagne that you boil beforehand if you want to ensure a good lasagna.

My design recipe / by cooky YOON
I am a designer who thinks ideas more than foods as well as wants balanced ideas. When a person feels hungry, they thinks and wants food but Design is more important for me than foods. I constantly think ideas and Design; also, I pursue and crave for something new anytime or anywhere. These thoughts express my passion. I would like to be a steadily changing designer with positive attitude by satisfying my passion with new ideas, assimilating them and then embracing fresh ideas again.

I think this sandwich is squarely aimed at the low fat crowd. I should have had the pesto and mozarella chicken sandwich. Nicely grilled, though.

Last year I set out to improve my basic cooking skills. I’ve always been able to follow recipes, but often found myself frustrated with the format of most cookbooks. Recipes written in prose would leave me lost as I’d dash away to complete a task, and numbered steps were sometimes too simplistic to give me an accurate idea of what I was getting into (i.e. I could use some help with planning and multitasking).
I wanted to address the following problems:
Understanding the scope of the dish: being able to visualize the different pieces to the overall recipe and thus have an idea of how to plan my time.
Efficiency: I would often take longer to prepare dishes because as a beginner I didn’t know when I could multitask. I wanted to be able to convey idle time.
Simplicity: as much as I like well-written pieces, often I just wanted to ‘get things done’. I wanted something straight to the point but clear enough for someone with basic cooking skills and knowledge to execute.
My solution was to design a horizontal flowchart recipe. The x-axis represents time (not to any particular scale), and by using the starting point of each major step as the vessel for the task at hand, proceeding ‘actions’ and ‘ingredients’ are clearly marked and easily identified. Heat is unmistakable in red, darkening and lightening in accordance with the strength.
Bottom line is it allows me to—at a glance—see what ingredients and vessels I need, have an idea of how to plan my time (when to multitask), and follow along as I complete steps.

Coincidentally, GOOD Magazine featured a ‘Redesign A Recipe’ Project soon after I completed this so I submitted it for selection. You can see it highlighted as one of the top 22 shortlisted by the magazine. www.good.is/post/submission-redesign-the-recipe
