With everything going on in the Cotter household these days, I think its safe to say our days are pretty, well….. sporadic. Ever since we got back from Portland, we’ve been housesitting/dogsitting. In fact, we didn’t even unpack our suitcases. We just took them straight to our “house.” Quite the nomads here.
And poor Sadie, she went from my parents house (while we were in Portland), to this house (with 2 other dogs), and then tomorrow we will be switching homes and housesitting/dogsitting for yet another family. She’s really not sure what to think. But at least the dogs are welcoming her with open……bellies. haha.
Anyway, since we’re feeling quite nomadic these days our meals have been rather “odd.” Meaning, whatever is in the panty is what I’m making.
Not to worry, we did not forget to keep some Cotter staples with us.
Okay, back to my oddness.
So, the first night we got back from Portland we were pretty much empty handed. I had some wasabi seaweed snacks left over from the trip, some eggs, and some GF flour.
Can you guess what I did?
Yep, wasabi seaweed crepes.
Talk about ODD, but oh my, it was actually pretty darn tasty!!
Wasabi Seaweed Crepes
Ingredients:
-
2 tablespoon GF flour (I used coconut and potato mixed)
-
3 strips of wasabi seaweed OR you can use 1 sheet nori with 2 teaspoon wasabi powder or wasabi mustard
-
1 tablespoon oil
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
2- 3 tablespoon milk or water
-
¼ teaspoon sea salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
any other spices you like. I added some paprika, cause we love paprika!
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 egg
-
goat cheese or white cheddar (optional)
-
Sirracha Chili sauce to garnish.
Directions:
Combine your flour, milk/water, spices, egg, vinegar, and baking powder. Mix/beat well until smooth. Oil a pan and place on medium high heat. Add your seaweed strip to the bottom of the pan. Let them cook for a minute. Then add in batter. It will cook up quickly. Flip over once and cook on other side until golden brown. Place on plate and add cheese to topping. Microwave or broil for the last minute in order to melt cheese. Then add the secret sauce…..sirracha chili sauce!!
Odd? Yes. Delicious? Surprisingly Yes!
What’s the oddest thing you’ve made lately? Did it turn out to be delicious?
Hope so!
Cheers,
LC
um ya, totally would try that. I ate cashew butter on nori sheets with romain lettuce leaf and spicy ketchup as a snack the other day. no shame here. Lindsay ________________________________
Speaking of odd things and nori….I use the untoasted nori sheets, spray them with braggs, smear them with peanut butter and sprinkle with gomasio…..fold it in half like a sandwich and then cut into bite size pieces with a scissor. Um…yum. I'm only sharing this because I have a feeling you might try it and I assure you you will like it. I love the way your culinary brain works, those crisps look delish!
so creative, that looks AWESOME!!
totally addicting and the spicier the better! right? Lindsay ________________________________
Oooo perfect! Since I JUST got those seaweed snacks 🙂 Love the salty/ hot combination!
oh I bet you'd make a great meal with this. Your extremely creative in my opinion!Lindsay ________________________________
oh I know, nut butter goes with everything. and I must try that sandwich! Lindsay ________________________________
i eat the unedible too, well because I just don't like to waste food I put effort into. If its that bad, the hubs will still eat it. haha. Lindsay ________________________________
My weird is usually inedible. I will usually eat it anyway. 😀
Ha I don't think I've ever even had seaweed in my possession! The last randomly delicious thing I made involved pb + tempeh & some veggies on a sandwich. I had no idea the nut-butter could taste SO good with everything… 😉
That really IS odd! I'd try yours…but I'm not sure that I'd make it myself! Ha!
oh I know you are the queen of wierd food, thats why I LOVE YOU! definitely need to try that seaweed omelet. want to make it for me? Lindsay ________________________________
Mmm… I love sirracha chili sauce!Your poor dog…..oh, I bet sadie is happy to have you both back! Haha 🙂
have you ever had tamago nigiri sushi – egg omelet over rice & seaweed. this is kind of like that! and you know me … i'm all about the odd! the weirder the better, in my book! 🙂
WHAT are your dogs doing there?!?! :O :O :OWell, I think I have to try around with wasabi more! I love its cold spiciness, but so far, I've only used it for sushi, or as an exotic substitute for mustard with a grilled piece of meat.
really? I'm surprised. You are always exploring new foods. Maybe just not seaweed, haha. Lindsay ________________________________
its like one big happy dog family here, haha. Lindsay CotterNutrition Manager & Fitness [email protected] www.cottercrunch.com ________________________________
Okay lindz, here's my challenge for you. Make something out of seaweed this week. You up for it?;)Lindsay ________________________________
Hmm that sounds interesting, but I totally believe that it is delicious! I'm not sure I've made anything odd…I'm too plain jane with my food haha. 🙂
Awwww your puppies are adorable!!!
I can't say I've ever had a crepe like that before!!! Interesting 🙂 And I love the cute little longhaired dachshund friend Sadie has made 🙂 So cute.
haha, thats awesome! i'd do eat that. Really, I would! Lindsay ________________________________
oh yea, going to see that recipe for sure!! Lindsay ________________________________
definitely the wrong person to ask… at least your 'odd' things look edible! mine inevitably look revolting but are actually amazing… honest! lately? tuna mashed with dry oats and a bit of natural yogurt… oh and tomato puree… and some gherkins might have also found their way in there…
thankfully I married a man who shares the same weirdness in food. We are quite the pair! Lindsay ________________________________
you are so creative! i posted my recent crepes adventure on my blog today 🙂
hahah i love weird food combinations! even if other people don't find them too appetizing! loveee those seaweed snacks!
I think waffles on the weekend are mandatory! plus you can throw in tons of fixins, like you did! next time add chocolate chips or PB! even better! Lindsay ________________________________
thats genuis allie! i love that combo. I'm going to try that!! hey, how's the knee and the dorm? been thinking about ya! Lindsay ________________________________
totally thought of you when posting the dog picture. You always post your dog pics! And yes, try the recipe. Maybe it will go well with yogurtland? haha, jk.Lindsay ________________________________
oh I know you have, we have the same tastebuds…..THANK GOODNESS! How about you make some kind of GF Seaweed pizza?! Lindsay ________________________________
sometimes trying new things helps me get more nutrients, ya know? I am all about that too! Lindsay________________________________
i know, I am crazy! but i like crazy food and luckily so does the hubs.hehe. Lindsay ________________________________
it is fun. Right now we have 4 dogs. haha, too cute! Wish sadie and pepsi could be buds.;) Lindsay ________________________________
I would totally make a seaweed pizza next. Good call casey! Lindsay ________________________________
we're all about odd creation, right? I always love yours! Lindsay ________________________________
it does add more "flare" hehe. Lindsay ________________________________
oddly enough, I have used sirrachi on my oatmeal, savory oats. Ever tried them with nutritional yeast and avocado? YUM!! Lindsay ________________________________
oh yes, I knew you'd like this recipe. Odd but so nourishing and flavorful!! Lindsay ________________________________
You always make me laugh!! I have eaten weird things like this I think….I do love salty things and seaweed on lots of things too!! Hahaha, this is cute actually!xxoo
i LOVE pup pictures. too cute. dogs are the best at always bringing a smile to your face 🙂 so the pics totally made my stomach growl…i got a bit more nervous whne i read what it was but i am willing to try anything so I would be up for trying that sometime. haha! i am always throwing whatever I have into a skillet and hoping for the best. luckily i have my dad's "taste" for food and I have not made too many terrible things (in my own humble opinion…haha!). have a wonderful day!
Hmmm I don't think I have made anything TOO odd lately! Last year I didn't have butter to melt on my popcorn so I put pineapple juice and curry on it. It was tasty!
Looks good. 🙂 I made waffles over the weekend and threw in some bananas that were going bad. It turned out delicious! 🙂 Always fun to try something new.
I think they look pretty darn delicious – but then again, the only thing I don't put Sriracha on is my oatmeal and if I could figure out how to put it on that, I probably would! I've never tried vegemite, but I've heard a lot about it… I'm not sure if I'm ready to give it a try just yet though. I'm more than a little afraid!
That might be odd but it still sounds wonderful to me! And it looks great! Seriously, some of the best recipes come from nothing in the pantry… 😉
Interesting. And you gotta have the chili sauce right?
Interesting. And you gotta have the chili sauce right?
How totally creative!! I llove it!And Sadie looks like she is doing just fine with all the moving 😀
Mmm..that looks like pizza. 🙂 LOL
you are reminding me of us and pet sitting…..it is kind of fun though 🙂 love what you made. i love when i have strange ingredients and manage to come up with something amazing! good job 🙂
these are so funky! really they were good? i trust you, craziness!
Woo this is odd, but I am intrigued and want to try it 🙂 I need to mix things up a bit with my food, I never try anything different! Thank you for the reminder to do so!
oh yes, the travel pantry syndrome. it makes us get creative though! Lindsay ________________________________
Oh i am sure you can relate to "dog sitting." Right?:) Lindsay ________________________________
i know, weird combo. But really, they are tasty! Lindsay ________________________________
i feel like we go through this every summer, but at least that means more access to pools! hehe. Lindsay ________________________________
your lunch sounds perfect to me! totally my style. But course, i think we share the same tastebuds. And yes, I've been seeing another doxen. don't tell basil. 😉 Lindsay ________________________________
interesting and a little bit dangerous. haha, jk. Lindsay________________________________
total crack! and now they sell them in bulk at costco! Lindsay ________________________________
gotta love those late night studying concotions, right? or poor student concotions? i know I had my fair share. haha. Lindsay________________________________
me too! such good vitamins in there. Seaweed salad is another favorite for sure! Lindsay CotterNutrition Manager & Fitness [email protected] www.cottercrunch.com ________________________________
oh I need to try your omelet! and of course, I love your recipes for that ODD reason. You know that. 😉 Lindsay ________________________________
yes, but you've eaten wild animal. thats so cool and UNIQUE! Lindsay ________________________________
I agree. sirrachi gives it that edge, haha.
I put a lot of weird things together, especially after I've been gone because I just have weird things left in my fridge!
Wow! Hmm, I haven't made anything really odd lately – I guess I need to get on that! 🙂
wasabi seaweed crepes…that just sounds amazing!!! I've made omelete wrapped in nori before, but not with wasabi seaweed. That is genius!!The oddest thing I've made…hm, that's hard, because I make a lot of odd things. lol.
wow interesting recipe. I love seaweed dishes. So good for you! 🙂
Yumm, these look great!! Hmm, I have made plenty of weird things (especially while in grad school), but I am having hard time thinking of one…lately it was throwing random toppings on a salad or a flatbread "pizza". Always tasted great, though!:)
Wow, that is an interesting combination. I love it! Those wasabi seaweed snacks are like crack. I love them
I'm all about odd food! It sounds delicious to me! Sirracha makes everything better! I hope you two get some nice quiet down time.
You cook with whatever is in the PANTY?! That would make for some interesting meals 😉 Looks Luke that dog is quite welcoming, enjoy your housesitting!
is that pup part DACHSHUND? 🙂 looks like it… partly because that's what Basil always does when he wants belly rubs! 🙂 these crepes look tasty – I love my seaweed and may have to try these! I (sometimes, ha!) come up with some pretty good stuff when I am down to few ingredients. today's lunch was a quick socca crepe filled with beans + red pepper in the food processor, topped with salsa. a big pile of spinach topped with salsa was the "salad" to go with it! 🙂
Way to be creative!! And the nomad adventures sounds a little fun : ) Umm…I cant think of an odd food item at the moment. I am pretty boring in the foods I eat. Happy Tuesday Linds!Love!Katie : )
I actually made another seaweed cake with your flour from twins bakery. Delicious!! and right now, I am eating vanilla cashew biscotti. THis one is the best so far! and the hubs and I both like biscotti to be hard so that we can dip it in our tea or coffee. Lindsay ________________________________
Wasabi seaweed crepes! Whaaaaa! They look impressively delicious though.
The picture of the dogs is hilarious!!! What a nice welcome :)Oddest thing I've made lately: I can't think of anything that comes even close to what you posted! 🙂
oh yes, we have pool and cable. Life is good. haha! if you try this, let me know your thoughts!Lindsay ________________________________
we arre so enjoying having SPACE! and a king size bed, haha. oh the little things in life. You can relate I am sure. Lindsay ________________________________
oh awesome. we think alike! and vegemite is a VERY concentrated yeast extract with b vitamins. Its SUPER STRONG! good for cooking though. Lindsay ________________________________
So happy to see that you're making the best of where you're at, hon! It's such an admiring characteristic. :)That oddity looks NOMS! I'm picking some of this stuff up tomorrow!
i have tried vega. I need to get used to it. The chocolate is the best. did you like it?? Come back to austin! TX misses you. Lindsay ________________________________
OH my god. Those look so. good. I'm actually craving eggs and cheese lately, who am I. PLEASE explain to me what vegemite is?!
That looks definitely odd but surprisingly delicious! I haven't cooked/created much lately since we've kind of been in between jobs/homes/lifestyles…but I miss it! And I so often make crazy combinations – I think my taste bugs are whacked out and anything tastes great to me. 😉 What a crazy week for you guys (and your dog!)…I hope you can enjoy the time and have fun house sitting!
I want to try some of that seaweed. I will have to get some of that! I just did my first product review. Do you ever use Vega? That is what I reviewed. Hope you have a fun week. I have been missing Texas A LOT lately! Wish we lived in Austin or San Antonio!!
