Lebanese bread does not go with peanut butter.

My guilty pleasure is a bit of Hass avocado spread on toast with lemon juice drizzled on it and pepper cracked onto it. it's fantastic, incredibly easy to make, and has a lovely taste.

The "guilty" part comes from the titanic expense of buying Hass. Here in Australia, they vary between $1 and $4 around the year.

Does anyone happen to have advice regarding turkey bacon? Favorite brands, best methods of cooking, best ways to use it, etc?

Sounds good! Also, interesting that it's called Boregi... I wonder if that's the same etymology as Polish pierogi dumplings?

I really enjoyed the Bosnian version when I was in Sarajevo.

I was under the assumption they were called Manti


And those two may be related as another form of stuffing for these dumplings (for meatless dumplings that is) is to stuff them with potatoes or squash. IIRC pierogi are stuffed with potato correct?

Dumplings? Must try this. Especially the way its folded. It'll look amazing when fried.

Does anyone have a recipe for corn bread that doesn't use a ton of sugar? 

I've not been able to find one that doesn't make like.. cornmeal sweetbread instead of the older fashioned heavy salt type loaf.

I have one for corn casserole that we call corn bread :p doesn't use a lot of sugar but uses a lot of cheese and butter

Best rice and beans I've ever made!

Sauteed half a white onion and half a red onion in olive oil. Added chopped red and green bell pepper, plus two chopped fresh jalapenos. When they got soft, added a handful of chopped fresh coriander leaf (cilantro) and a couple of sliced mushrooms. Let that go for a minute, then dumped in a can of red kidney beans (with the brine) and a handful of frozen corn (would have been better with sweet corn, but sadly they didn't have any when I went shopping, so it's the non-sweet kind and is still good). When the sauce boiled down, I added two small chopped fresh tomatoes and squeezed half a lime over the whole thing. Also sprinkled a bit of salt and pepper.

Put it in some tortillas along with some jasmine rice to make the best burritos. I'm so happy right now.

So I made the manti in the link I posted earlier.
I used larger dumplings though (3"x3") instead of (1.5"x1.5") because I've never made dumplings before and it was difficult enough folding the larger ones.
I didn't really take any good pics while making them because my hands were covered in raw meat and egg before popping them in the oven and I was rushing to make the yogurt garlic dip and sautéed vegies while everything was baking.

It tasted pretty and the dip went well (mixed a 6oz thing of plain nonfat yogurt with some minced garlic, garlic salt, and a couple pinches of ground sumac (IMPOSIBLY HARD TO FIND OUT HERE!)) but the dumplings were basicaly just meatballs in wantons, so next time I will be seasoning them better and probably do two batches. One with terryaki sauce mixed in with the meat and the (btw I used ground beef instead of lamb .-. ) and the second with ground sumac and other SPICES instead of sauce.

The optimal sauce for rice is prepared by cooking chicken, garlic, and celery in an excess of butter with black pepper. When the vegetables are soft, and the meat cooked, add equal parts sriracha and sour cream.

This is happening tonight. I have the ingredients. I will have the awesome.

Is that some sort of variation on gumbo? Certainly seems like it (and it seems awesome).
