2 Cooks in the Kitchen

Matthew and Kelly Cook live amongst the Redwoods next to the Pacific Ocean in Northern California. We're always looking for food inspiration.

Hey, we know you've seen our weekly Caesar Salad more than once on our page but this is the first time the chicken breast was coated with New Orleans Seasoned Fish Fry Breading and fried. That added a nice, tasty crunch for a little change. Downside was the splatter all over the stove! That coating is a bonus for being gluten free plus we make our own croutons from GF sourdough and no one knows the difference.

Cauliflower Crust for the win!

We've been making this since before Matthew found out he can't have gluten. It's just really so delicious. Okay, not the same as a nice sourdough pizza crust but it is a winner and probably better for you. Recipe from our website that includes a video in the comments.

Last night we decided on Molé Colorado for the sauce so pulled a cube of that out of the freezer. We usually do pesto or Matthew's BBQ "Rockin'" Sauce but these was good.

Toppings can be whatever you can dig out of your fridge or freezer. We had a mystery sausage (a friend gave it to us and it was possibly goat), Sungold tomatoes, olives and caramelized onions along with a couple kinds of cheese. We ate the whole thing! Pretty sure there are fewer carbs and calories in cauliflower.

Got various things that should be used up? Make a pasta sauce! Here is a blend of home made tomato sauce, Sage Pesto and cottage cheese. Blended and tossed in some GF pasta and topped with crimini mushrooms, chopped parsley and chive flowers.

We put leftover sauce on our eggs this morning.

Matthew recently found a recipe for flan, for a first time ever, and it had coconut. He's made it twice now and it is SO dang good! Great dessert to share and impress company.

Made a trip to the Farmer's Market for ingredients for tomorrow nights dinner with company. It's gonna be stuffed poblanos over Molé with a side of corn and dragon toes. Appetizer will be local Petite Oysters paired with chilled Humboldt Distillery Vodka.

We know, another tomato salad. This time it's not only tomatoes and soft mozzarella but a little onion and some fresh herbs (we are plum outta Basil). A little Kona Sea Salt and olive oil with chile oil optional. Super refreshing and light. Our tomatoes still aren't done!

Who doesn't love a big baker with interesting stuff on top? One of our favorites is inspired by a favorite dish at a Puerto Vallarta restaurant, Sonorita, which is al Pastor on top of a baker. Then on top of that from our need to use stuff from the greenhouse is this sort of tomato/pepper jam salsa thing. It added a sweetness and a touch of kick to liven up the whole thing.

We still have tomatoes coming out of our greenhouse. Best way to keep up is plates like this at least once a week for dinner. We also have tomato sauce in the freezer and we've had a couple of tomato pies. The Sweet Millions have produced gallons and gallons! That's a Pineapple Heirloom on the right and they come off at a steady pace, too. There is at least another month or more before we'll have to go to store bought again.

That time of year we have an abundance of tomatoes from just a few plants in our greenhouse. Tomato Soup was a great way to use up a few.

Well, the 2 Cooks ate pretty well this week!

We've got Lemon tarts with a Lemongrass Italian Meringue, Pad Thai, Asian Chicken Wings, Aloco which is an African dish with Cod, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Salmon with Mashers and Tomatoes with cottage cheese and pesto.

Lots of really good dishes made right here in our kitchen. Some things Matthew made, some things Kelly made and some things had contributions from both of us.
