This turned out amazing. I used fresh broccoli, not frozen, which was nice because it had a nice little crunch to it. Using frozen I think it would've felt to mushy. Some crispy bacon would be such a great addition. The recipe I used is at the link below.

Made this crispy fried sandwich the other day. Pick your protein, I used tofu because I had it haha. Bottom up: bread, Aoli, tomatoes, Alberta lettuce, breaded and fried protein, sriacha, bread.

It's short order but I highly recommend making use of the VIA rail Canada Strong Pass before it expires September second. We used it to travel on the Skeena from Jasper to Prince Rupert (overnights are in Prince George). We had one day in Prince Rupert, their first good day of the year in Canada's rainiest city, and it was amazing. The train ride is stunning, the return trip was just as stunning, it felt like a new trip. We thought we'd get card games or reading in, but we were glued to the windows. It's so clean, spacious and freeing to walk around during the trip. Our attendant during the trip both ways was Moun, and he was wonderful! Sign up for the reward points before you book. Earn them and save for future trips, they seem to add up quickly or you can donate them to other members - I mean send them my way if you won't use them haha. It was our first VIA trip and we are hooked and cannot wait for our next one. That said VIA needs some serious expansion out west.

 

Let's have a fediverse contingent repping Sask vs Calgary!

 

I made something really different this evening, broccoli loaf. It's very light, and mild tasting. I think it would be amazing as grilled cheese and dipped into tomato soup.

I sauteed finely diced onion, red peppers, mushrooms and garlic let it cool before adding them to brown lentils. Then I added taco seasoning, a little light soy, ketchup and blended oats then mash em. I toast the corn tortillas so they are crunchy. Assembly.

  • Large tortilla and add queso cheese in a circle (size of the smaller corn tortilla)
  • Add the meat or lentils
  • Corn tortilla
  • Sour cream
  • Lettuce (your choice of other toppings, onion, jalapeno ect.)
  • Cheese
  • Fold larger tortilla closed in 5 folds
  • Toast each side on fry pan

Never had the original 🤷‍♂️ haha

 

Made some lentil crunch wrap supremes this past week. They turned out amazing 20250404_175744 I will be making these a few times this spring and summer.

 

I always forget about #Inkscape extensions. Checkout this handy #tutorial on #PeerTube about adding extensions.

🤷‍♂️😂 whatever it is, it was delicious

I smashed it into the fry pan, flattening it out and sticking to the wrap. Non smashed it would be just loose and filled into the wrap 😀

I guess if I stacked them? But, call it whatever you like 🤷‍♂️😂

 

I made smashed lentil tacos and wow they were great! First I sauteed finely diced onion, red pepper, mushrooms and garlic. Then I combined them with a can of lentils, taco seasoning, ketchup, light soy sauce and blended oats. It looked very much like taco seasoned ground beef. Then I formed a ball of the lentils on the wrapped and pressed it until flat, then cooked in a fry pan on both sides. I made a dip it was an avocado, plain yogurt, cloves of garlic, lime juice and parsley. Blend until smooth. Full of flavour, extremely light on the wallet and I'm looking forward to having these again soon.

I used the recipe for the crust. It's a matter of just trying it and getting a feel for it. 😄

Made Napolitano style pizza dough for pizza night at home. The closer pizza has a pesto sauce with bacon, tomatoes and mozzarella. The further one is a simple tomato sauce with ground beef and sausage, tomatoes, mozza and topped with basil

Ha, I came here to say the very same thing.

I dunno Ford backed down from his 25% electricity export surcharge right away... Let's get a plan between the feds and provinces and coordinate in executing the retaliations. Then when T[rump] slaps 50% steel and aluminium tariffs Quebec and NFLD adds a electricrity surcharge to their exports.

This post is trash, I'm lucky I clicked to read the dumb comment. I scrolled read it and up voted because it made sense. I then clicked and saw the dumb comment part of it, so I had to down vote it.

[–] Dustwin@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Wonder if this will end up like Ford's 25 percent surcharge on electricity? They should have coordinated on these things.

 

This looks pretty awesome.

 

With the tariff threats and bird flu impacting American mega bird farms and driving prices up for them, I'm curious. Has Schadenfreude and more affordable eggs in Canada increased our typical egg consumption? Anyone know where such stats would be found?
