Asparagus casserole

Asparagus Casserole

This was a very rushly made casserole. And what happens when you make things in a rush? Forget some thing. In over generalization of a casserole way, I forgot that the asparagus need to be boiled for few minutes. since I skipped that. I had to bake for a longer time. I like the end result but it is far from the perfect good feeling that occurs when you cook in a  relaxed manner.
The recipes I looked at needed cream of mushroom. I looked in the pantry for an alternate and found just the right candidate. Campbells Chicken and corn chowder. And for Cheese, I used 2 packets of Annies's Cheddar Cheese powder from a big sash of Costco stuff. I didnt need to sue the cheese, but for the dish full of asparagus, one can of chowder was not enough wet ingredient.
All in all, it tasted good. Lemon pepper and Delallo breadcrumbs as part substitute for the French onions, led the show.
On the side are some squash that got a gentle bake. they will find their way to a frittata.
I was so tempted to make Asparagus souffle since I found a cheese make do. Thank goodness it called for many steps. do you sometimes go crazy and think you want to make 300 things?

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
