Quelling my sweet tooth

These are toothy, with a base of whole oats, oat flour, almond butter, and apricot/pear/squash puree, etc.
I am satisfied.

To St. Patrick!

Made with a gf home mixed flour and starch combo, flax meal, dairy free butter substitute, almond milk, egg. I think I may have accidentally  put in a tad too much xanthan..but, it is still tasty and a mostly successful Irish soda bread.

Not my dad's hash

After my mom died this was one of my dad's favorite meals to prepare. Made with ground beef or sometimes pork and or veal and I am certain canned vegetables.. even canned potatoes. I don't know why but my dad loved those little round canned potatoes. Reasonably quick; as long as it took to cook up some ground meat and throw vegetables in a pan with mustard and ketchup and sometimes chili sauce.
This concoction isn't far from that truth. Frozen peas and corn. Fresh potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic. And where his was mostly ground meat this is mostly vegetable. Tomato paste, Polish mustard, cayenne pepper, assorted green herbs and celery seed. A shot of Red Rooster at the table.

Simple grains, as simple as possible

Cooked white grits mixed with beaten egg, three cloves of thinly sliced garlic, cayenne, and a pinch of fresh oregano. Re-fried in bacon fat. Drizzle of maple syrup at the plate.
