Couldn’t resist picking up this package of Mixed Heirloom Peppers 🌶 at the #southmiamifarmersmarket , yesterday. So, @beeheavenfarm , what kinds of #peppers did I get? 😄 • • #farmersmarket #food #hotpeppers #inmyhood #inmykitchen #produce #fresh #freshflamingo (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNh0Bn3LL5c/?igshid=rd8x6ygjgla2

The time is rapidly approaching when I’ll have to do something with this cabbage growing in my garden. I had planned it for St. Patrick’s Day, but it wasn’t ready yet. It was supposed to grow in tight, pointy heads - which it never showed any inclination of doing. So, besides stuffed cabbage, what can I do with it? • • • #cabbage #inmygarden #igrewthis #inmyyard #homegrown (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNX0N8eLuMM/?igshid=1rzvpctqri3vq

Mike brought me a bouquet of Shamrocks from our backyard. ☘️ Sly thinks Mike brought him some salad. 🙄 • • #sly #stpatricksday #shamrocks #cats #blackcats #blackcatsrule #inmyyard #freshflamingo (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfGtF2Lhtj/?igshid=7v6y7llfxvfu

Happy Pi Day! I offer up to the Math Gods a Breakfast Pie. The crust is hash brown potatoes, the filling is eggs, milk, cheddar cheese, onion, red and green bell peppers, all cooked on top of the stove. I couldn’t help myself! • • #piday #breakfast #breakfastofchampions #pie #inmykitchen #iamcooking #quarantinecooking #food #freshflamingo (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMZ_y0hL5J0/?igshid=1bzrbdjjmdsds

Why do I get the distinct impression that I interrupted some kind of planning session? #amiintrouble #cats #catsofinstagram #kittens #kittensofinstagram #sisters #Trouble #Mouse #Portia (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpLo0JL8yv/?igshid=3yjos10mi20h

Made a double batch of drop biscuits to use up some milk that was “going off”. The recipe is from @seriouseats. I made the whole thing in the food processor. So easy and quick, plus M never seems to get tired of them! #biscuits #bread #iambaking #inmykitchen #breakfast #supper #wastenotwantnot #quarantinekitchen #freshflamingo (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmDy4QLKJK/?igshid=rcpyeyb4cuhk

I can’t remember the last time we had bagels in the house! Fresh, homemade sesame bagels 🥯 - with a schmear and some lox for the hubs - it’s what’s for breakfast. #bagels #bread #iambaking #inmykitchen #fresh #homemade #breakfast #breakfastofchampions #freshflamingo #quarantinekitchen #stayhomeandbake (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKeOz2oLGhd/?igshid=lla3xqhkfth4

For those of you who are wondering how the faux “crab cakes”, made with that wild-looking Lion’s Mane Mushroom, came out, they were really good! M said that he doesn’t think they *really* taste like crab, but the appearance and texture were spot-on! I’ll post a link to more info about these mushrooms and the recipe for this dish, in the comments. (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJjejMdLkmy/?igshid=18x3k3csbtmyu

Trouble has clearly had quite enough of 2020. #newyearseve #2021 #goodriddance2020 #cats #catsofinstagram #tabby #tabbycatsofinstagram #happynewyear (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeiNARrjt5/?igshid=1q25kftn2o8pq

Oh, just playing fetch with the cat and making some Texas Caviar for later. You? #newyearseve #2021 #goodriddance2020 #blackeyedpeas #goodluck #inmykitchen #iamcooking #happynewyear (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeY6xrrF7U/?igshid=1a12rzrsth165

So, we found this very cool Lion’s Mane mushroom at the South Miami Farmer’s Market, yesterday. I didn’t know Mike was going to take it apart so soon, or I would have taken a picture of it whole. I hope @urban_oasis_project has more, next week! It feels like the softest chenille fabric, ever! It’s supposed to taste like crab or lobster (which I wouldn’t know anything about, but I guess M will let me know later). This is going to be faux crab cakes for tonight’s supper! #mushrooms #lionsmanemushroom #futuresupper #farmersmarket #farmersmarketfinds #foodexperiment #inmyhood #inmykitchentoday #iamcooking (at South Miami City Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJT1l3ArvrK/?igshid=1lvj37nmlzyjk

The first fire pit of the season! Perfect timing! (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJPLmJIlSfq/?igshid=1cmty1cz77trk

This was supposed to be part of the previous post. Anyway, if you’re interested, this is the basic Cottage Cheese Pancake recipe. Again, if using self-rising flour, omit the salt and baking soda. #pancakes #cottagecheese #protein #food #breakfast #breakfastofchampions https://www.instagram.com/p/CJEfoMALIl3/?igshid=1xw2lbs5u308z

I’ve been semi-obsessed with cottage cheese pancakes, lately, and finally took a photo, the other day. I’ve also discovered that they take a cup of fresh blueberries, and can be made with self-rising flour, too! If you use self-rising, omit the salt and baking soda (slide over for a photo of the main recipe). Told you I’m obsessed! #pancakes #cottagecheese #protein #inmykitchen #iamcooking (at South Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJET6pAL0_Y/?igshid=17yuxff9vuxab
