Thegreenchilemonster Cooks For Three

Since I recently found out that my wife is pregnant, I'll be cooking for 3

I figured I would share dishes throughout the pregnancy that are focused on providing an expecting mother the nutrients she needs to develop a healthy baby.

All of the meat I cook with will be organic, grass fed, and hormone free. All of the vegetables will be organic, and mostly home grown, until the season ends.

There will of course be chiles used in every meal, as always.

To start things off, last night I made this grass fed organic grilled butterflied leg of lamb, curried chickpeas, and steamed broccoli. Lots of quality folic acid and iron in there.

I marinated the lamb in olive oil, fresh garden rosemary, and a diced aji limo, before grilling it up.

I used to be many moons ago. My current career is significantly more lucrative, with much more flexible hours.

Mesmo que o ribeye é um dos melhores cortes Americanos, eu prefiro uma boa picanha, ou uma costela de boi.
what cut are you referring to? this cut cooked over coal or wood with nothing but salt is phenomenal.

Just one of many examples I've posted on THP. I cooked this up a couple months ago.

Costela de boi...tres ossos. A seção mais sabrosa das costelas.

Ta legal! Eu acho que é melhor que o brisket, quando assado perfeitamente. Uma picanha como sempre, é o corte preferido na minha casa, mais é um corte muito caro. Por isso, a gente compra cordeiros inteiros. É o animal mais sabroso e ecomonico na minha região.
cool. i`m not too big on lamb but my wife loves it.

I want to try one of those steamed artichokes. How do you eat them? Can we get a pic of their insides? I sent about 100 likes to your notifications too. Missed this thread for a while I guess. It made me really hungry
We eat them leaf by leaf, eating the meatier part of the leaf lcated on the heart end. Usually we dunk them in spicy butter or aoli, finishing with the whole delicious heart.
 
I'm working on an early Thanksgiving dinner, dince my wife's company gave her two birds this year.

I just put a spatchcocked turkey on the smoker with pecan wood. I brined the turkey with salt, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and some ghost peppers over night. I then trimmed the backbone off the turkey, and spread it out, injecting it with a 50/50 Franks red hot and butter injection. S&P only for the dry rub. I'll baste the bird every hour, until it's ready.
