    Oh Happy Day

    What is Robert Cooking?

    When are you most happy?

    I am happiest when I’m in the kitchen!

    Whether it’s a recipe from a cook book, email suggestion, a YouTube video or a dish I made up.



    I just love cooking and baking!



    Even cleaning a few dishes, Yes, I’m fine with that.

    Can I get a fork and some lactose free ice cream please! Always lactose free! Vanilla with a little sprinkle of nutmeg on top!

  • Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Roasted Tomato Soup

    Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Roasted Tomato Soup

    What is Robert Cooking?

    Rainy day comfort food my friends!

    A Rye bread and Colby Jack cheese sandwich melted in a cast iron pan.

    I just have to say that this was my first grilled cheese sandwich in over 30 years!

    No joke!

    Shortly after joining the Army in 1986, I discovered I had somehow “become” lactose intolerant. What a shocker! Since then I have struggled with dairy being put into most foods and dishes.

    I tried lactose pills, lactaid pills, lactose free dairy products, and enzyme pills. Nothing seemed to help. Not even dairy free cheeses which are plants processed to look like cheese. (They don’t taste the same!)

    Well, our downtown residence happens to be on Washington Square, and in our neighborhood is an expert on cheeses, Nancy, especially Parmigiano-Reggiano from Italy. She pointed out, cheeses that undergo a natural aging process — like cheddar — contain little to no lactose.

    Other aged cheeses like Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Swiss and Parmesan also contain little or no lactose.

    If I wasn’t married to Neal, I have would have to confess that I have fallen in love with Jack… (jack cheeses I mean)!

    TIB!

    (truth in blogging)

    I only helped a little with the roasted tomato soup, Neal actually made it.

    It was delicious and paired perfectly with my gooey grilled cheese sandwiches.

    Well it’s raining out so, Time to Eat!

  • Poached Tilapia

    Poached Tilapia

    What is Robert Cooking?

    Seafood Cooking my friends!

    No frying or baking but Poached?

    • Poaching is a moist heat method of cooking where food is submerged in a bath of flavorful liquid that’s kept just below the boiling point (160 to 180 degrees)
    • To cook by simmering in a small amount of liquid. “poach the salmon in the white wine”

    After checking out a few recipes, I like this one. Tilapia poached in chardonnay served with a delicious basil tomato sauce.

    Very simple:

    Tilapia, diced shallots, diced tomato, basil, chardonnay, clam sauce (I used 1 tsp oyster sauce with 1 c vegetable stock), salt, pepper, lemon – garnish.



    Plate steamed broccoli and herb potatoes with butter. Spoon on the tomato basil sauce, now this simple dinner really hit the spot!

    Cast Iron Panko Crusted Baked Tilapia

    What is Robert Cooking?

    Seafood Cooking my friends!

    Looks like fish made the menu tonight!

    First I covered the fish in corn starch (for crispiness) then dredged in egg and coated with flour, paprika, parsley and panko style bread crumbs.

    A light spray of olive oil and into the oven to bake.

    Broil a few moments after for golden color and serve up.
