Good Dumpster Cooking

A blog about cooking with trash.

Month: February 2019

Pepperoni Pizza

Since I had found a full package of pepperoni as well as a log of sliced mozzarella at the same time, the obvious conclusion was to make pizza. Since I have more than enough of the basic ingredients to make a crust, the only missing ingredient was the sauce. I roughly followed this recipe by… Read More Pepperoni Pizza

Watercress Soup

Watercress is a great all-purpose green that can be eaten raw or cooked, and I used to buy it regularly until I found a cheap source of arugula which can be used similarly. Normally if I found a bag of watercress I would want to use it for sandwiches and salads, but since I also… Read More Watercress Soup

February 25, 2019

Last night went well and we got a lot of nice stuff. We thought we’d gotten about 12 lbs of chicken breasts, as well, only to find when we got back to the house that they smelled terrible. We found a couple of nice pesto, mozzarella and prosciutto sandwiches on baguettes and ate them that… Read More February 25, 2019

Garlic Parmesan Carrot Noodles

This one’s pretty simple. I found a box of frozen carrot spirals this week and wanted to make a quick dinner, so I sauteed a couple of cloves of garlic in a few tablespoons of olive oil, then added the block of noodles and cooked covered, turning occasionally, until they were thawed, which took about… Read More Garlic Parmesan Carrot Noodles

Kale and Tomatoes

This is a recipe that my ex-boyfriend learned from his parents, who learned it while they were in the Peace Corps in Kenya. He never gave this dish a name, but based on some quick research I can guess this is a simple variation of Sukuma Wiki. It goes well with fish and rice or… Read More Kale and Tomatoes

Turkey Enchiladas

This week I found a bottle of enchilada sauce and spent a while trying to figure out what to do with it. Then I thought, why not just make enchiladas? I wasn’t totally clear on what an enchilada was except for something my ex-boyfriend in Florida had at Taco Bell once: a burrito, but in… Read More Turkey Enchiladas

Cauliflower Coconut Soup

A friend recommended this soup recipe immediately after I’d found a head of cauliflower, and if not for his praise of it I would have dismissed cauliflower soup as some kind of bland mush you eat on a fad diet. Of course, it’s not just boiled cauliflower. Half of the cauliflower is roasted and then… Read More Cauliflower Coconut Soup

February 18, 2019

Last night went pretty well, considering I cut my finger on a piece of glass reaching for a jar of pasta sauce. We didn’t bother going to multiple places; it was freezing out, I was bleeding, there was no need since I mostly wanted fruit and yogurt and found plenty of both. They were throwing… Read More February 18, 2019

Roasted Cauliflower

I first made this recipe by Erin McDowell from PureWow years ago as part of a vegetarian Thanksgiving meal. The idea is that the cauliflower, a round, roasted thing, is a sort of visual replacement for the turkey, though it’s much smaller and functions as more of a side than a main course. The recipe… Read More Roasted Cauliflower

Nachos

Nachos in their simplest form are a pile of tortilla chips, with some cheese on it, microwaved until the cheese melts. It’s kind of a sad soggy mess that people make when they aren’t feeling up to making anything better and every time I see it I think about making some decent nachos but, you… Read More Nachos
