I almost never make a pastry anymore-lowcarb/crustless.
I am really getting too tired/lazy to do much other than dump something in a crockpot.
I had to slice up a ham this week, and had a big bone leftover, so I cooked ham and beans in the crockpot.
I’m a soup maker, too. I made a big pot of soup with turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving. Easy to do, and it always taste good. As a matter of fact, I’m going to take some out of the freezer right now!
My husband buys ham hocks in his Pennsylvania hometown, to make his ham and bean soup (he doesn’t like the ones he gets here in Maryland supermarkets, they’re too puny).
It’s always very good; but I’m not crazy about potatoes in the soup - I think it would be better with the potatoes left out, and more carrots - and you can use potato flakes to thicken things up...
can make pastry dough out of bean flour, quinoa flour, coconut flour all sorts of flours that may be on your low carb list?
Just have to play around with flours to find ones you like the dough consistency. Some can be too dense.
I don’t have a recipe to share but I usually end deciding it’s worth eating whatever it turns out to be, because it has better ingredients and I know all the ingredients of things I cook (rather than mystery additives etc), even if density or appearance or such is not top notch
Greeneyes... I just did a new recipe with leftover ham made into a wonderful soup/chowder.. yesterday. If you would like the recipe... I am happy to post or pm it to you. The family ADORED it! To be fair now... it isn’t a soup/chowder for dieters. However, it is filling and really good tasting. Hugs, Mom
It is cold today and is supposed to rain. Just got a couple of containers of turkey and stock out of the freezer from a cooked down carcass. Yum, a nice warm soup for tonight.
