What Have You Cooked Recently?

Last night was baked chicken and mashed potatoes, the other night was baked spaghetti with cottage cheese and pepper jack cheese. Tonight, I'm sick so I boiled ramen noodles since i have no energy.

I made the most bomb-ass large burritos today. It wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be but it turned out damn good. I ran out of bacon though, gonna whip up another batch once I'm done with this one.

It was messy as hell and a lot of work but it was worth it. Miles ahead of anything I could get at any Mexican restaurant.
 
I got some of those long pumpkins from my grandma. Which is good by itself, sure, but also... I made some pumpkin pasta. Has fried bacon, spices, onion+garlic, some cayenne and mozzarella.
My dudes, it turned out great. The sweet pumpkin works so well with salty stuff and basil and cayenne and such. To me this is essential autumn/winter food stuff.
 
Prawn and mushroom risotto.
I've never made risotto before, and I hate to admit I fell into the first time risotto issue of undercooking. The recipe I was roughly following said 20 minutes max for cooking, I was at 30 mins and felt bad for my hungry husband. It wasn't so bad, like maybe slightly el dente, I think it needed 5 more mins max. Thankfully, he said it was deliciously and way more cooked then his mom's risotto growing up. Next time I won't make it on a work night.

Also made coconut chai seed pudding, I'll top with pineapple for breakfast.
Added honey and tumeric.
 
Butternut Squash Curry Soup

1 butternut squash
1 cauliflower
1 large sweet onion

cut into chunks and roast until browned
4 cups chicken stock
curry powder, nutmeg and allspice to taste

Once the veggies are nice and soft, add them to the stock and simmer for 20 mins, then take everything and put it through a blender until smooth and uniform. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Frickin yummy, warming and has enough fibre that even Dear Feeder could take a dump without stressing.

Seriously...frickin amazing soup.
