It looks like a Christmas meal with the bright green and red colors.

It can be a good meal for Christmas, but it really is a tasty meal any time of the year.

I recently started enjoying oatmeal more regularly.

I usually eat it for breakfast, but I like it so much that I now eat it for lunch and even dinner sometimes as well.

I don’t like to make my oatmeal too sweet, and even for breakfast I usually do not add anything sweet other than maybe a few dry cranberries.

This particular dish was made for lunch and created like risotto rather than a breakfast food.

The Kabocha puree was combined with cooked oatmeal and prepared as a savory dish.

The Kabocha oatmeal was then served with fresh kale, dressed with mustard dressing, fresh pomegranate seeds, and crunchy friend onion.

It was certainly a bit unusual oatmeal bowl for my husband.

He looked somewhat confused when I told him what was in the bowl, but after a few bites, he told me that he surprisingly liked it.

This was definitely a hit for me, and my love for oatmeal continues…

This is the last post for the Super Bowl food series.

It was not supposed to be this long, but I got carried away.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted four posts in a day!

Well, enjoy the game everyone.

– MN Wild Rice Cookies, crunchy and savory

Yes, I’m back.

Sooner than I thought.

Yesterday I said we were going low-key in terms of food for the Super Bowl evening.

But we were bombarded by the coverage of Super Bowl all morning, since they are here, in Minnesota.

So I decided to prepare a few more dishes.

I was asking Terry all week long if he had any specific request.

He kept saying “not really”, and then this morning, he told me that he would want cauliflower buffalo wings.

This time I oven-baked the cauliflower instead of deep-frying.

I put together the sauce without any specific recipes, but it turned out great.

So I’ll make a note for myself.

I was surprised that many recipes do not include any sweetener.

Mine definitely is a bit sweeter than average but it’s more like “umami”, and it’s how I like it.

Buffalo wing sauce: hot sauce, white vinegar, canola oil, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, Japanese worcestershire sauce, salt, salted caramel maple syrup

I made a few more snacks, so come back in a few minutes to check them out!
