  Zucchini pizza boats
Posted by: ShadowsDad - 08-04-2024, 08:10 PM - Forum: What's cooking - Replies (6)

I have NOT tried these yet but why wouldn't they be good? Summer squash takes on the flavor of what it's cooked with and IMO needs flavor added. I make pizza using high fiber low carb burrito wraps (link far below) that I buy at the supermarket so why not these? I absolutely intend to try them.
ZUCCHINI PIZZA BOATS
Make my zucchini pizza boats when those pizza cravings hit! This healthy, cheesy, and easy zucchini pizza recipe is ready in just 30 minutes.

AUTHOR: Maya Krampf from Wholesome Yum

INGREDIENTS

4 medium Zucchini (or yellow summer squash)
1 tbsp Olive oil
1/4 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
16 tbsp Marinara sauce
1/3 cup Mini pepperoni slices
1 1/3 cup Mozzarella cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice the zucchini lengthwise. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out some of the centers of the zucchini to make wells.

Place the zucchini onto the baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.

Roast the zucchini in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until soft.

When the zucchini are done roasting, use paper towels to pat any moisture from the wells.

Spread 2 tablespoons (29.5 milliliters) of marinara inside each zucchini boat. Then top with mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni slices.

Bake for 5 minutes. Then, broil for about 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and browned.
TOPPING VARIATIONS
Just like a regular pizza, you can easily customize zucchini pizza with different sauces and toppings. Here are some ideas to try:

Veggie – Load them up with bell peppers, oven-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and olives. Note that the veggies won’t soften much because the baking time is so brief, so you can pre-cook them first if you want them more tender.
Meat Lover’s – Add some cooked Italian sausage, ham, and bacon along with the pepperoni.
Hawaiian – One of my faves! Top your zucchini pizza boats with Canadian bacon and pineapple tidbits.
Buffalo Chicken – Spread some buffalo sauce, add shredded chicken (Instant Pot chicken breast is my go-to quick method for it), and top with a sprinkle of blue cheese or ranch dressing. Or make my buffalo chicken zucchini boats instead.
Sauce Swap – One of my kids isn’t a fan of tomato-based sauces, so I make hers with Alfredo sauce. You can also use my basil pesto sauce.

Question What non-disposable blades razor gives you the closest shave?
Posted by: Alex_UNLIMITED - 07-25-2024, 06:02 PM - Forum: Shave Talk - Replies (12)

I am unable to get a close shave with my C. V. Heljestrand Eskilstuna Kindal. I feel it is too mild, also I'm used to Feather blades on unmentionable head, which gives me an almost perfect bbs without irritation. What would be the most similar model to this combination, in order to get the closest shave possible?

  cauliflower "potato" salad
Posted by: ShadowsDad - 07-25-2024, 04:20 PM - Forum: What's cooking - Replies (2)

You'll never fool anyone that it's potato, but for folks on a low carb diet it's one way to have "potato" salad again. Let's see, no potato salad or this "potato" salad... Hmmm? It's actually pretty decent. Would Kohl Rabi or Jerusalem artichoke work? IDK. 
CAULIFLOWER POTATO SALAD (KETO & HEALTHY)
This easy cauliflower potato salad tastes like regular potato salad, except it's keto, gluten-free, and just healthy. Make it in 15 minutes!

INGREDIENTS

1 head Cauliflower (cut into small florets)
2/3 cup Mayonnaise
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/3 cup Onion (finely diced)
1/3 cup Celery (sliced thinly or diced) (or fennel)
2 large Eggs (hard boiled, chopped)
Chives (optional, for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS
Cook the cauliflower on the stove or in the microwave.

Stove method: Boil a pot of water with a tablespoon of salt. Add the cauliflower, and simmer until very tender (about 5 minutes). Drain well and let cool. Note: expect this to take longer, more like 10 minutes or more. You want the veg' to be soft and not crunchy. But that might depend on the size of the pieces.

Microwave method: Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of water. Microwave on high for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Drain well and let cool.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, until smooth.

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, diced onion, sliced celery, and diced egg.

Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well.

If you have time, refrigerate the cauliflower potato salad for at least 1 hour to let the flavors develop. (This is optional.) If desired, garnish with chives and additional paprika.

Notes:

MY RECIPE TIPS
>Cut the florets small. Smaller florets will more closely resemble potatoes. Plus, I like that they cook faster.
>Cook the cauliflower until very soft. I’m all for crisp-tender for many of my cauliflower recipes, but for this particular recipe, extra softness will give your cauliflower potato salad a texture that’s closer to potatoes. Don’t stop cooking too early!
>Fold or toss the salad rather than stirring. Since I recommend very soft cauliflower, I find that it can get a bit mushy if I stir it.
>If you have time, refrigerate for an hour. This is not required, but will let the flavors develop more. I often like to make this salad ahead anyway.
>Change it up with dill pickles or bacon! If you like these flavors in potato salads, you’ll like them in this cauliflower potato salad, too. Just mince the pickles finely, or crumble oven baked bacon and add to your taste.

  The Rolls Razor
Posted by: Jayaruh - 07-14-2024, 07:59 PM - Forum: Other SE brands. - Replies (2)

The Rolls Razor was a safety-razor made by British company Rolls Razor Limited from 1922 to 1958. I got my first one back in 2013. It had a 1947 blade in it. I did not consider it as a safety-razor because I considered the safety bar just a kick stand to protect the blade when setting it down. However, I have modified my view and now consider it a safety-razor. 

I used this one for years despite the cracked stone.

In 2018, I found a Rolls Traveler. It was in very good shape and even had a blade that was never used. The blade is marked 53 for 1953. This is the Rolls I use now. It is a very good shaver.
