I made bacon cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and caramelized onions, on pretzel rolls, for my family. Made a home made aioli for it too. Dad opted for coarse ground mustard though. He prefers his German mustards, but he's correct as it goes best with pretzel rolls.
We served it with a salad. Salad had romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red cabbage, red onion, kale, arugula, carrots, black olives, and cucumber in it. Also whipped up a nice honey mustard dressing for it. All in all it was really good and we all enjoyed it.

Meal prep day for the week, so:
Gnocchi with pesto cream sauce, spinach, and italian sausage, shredded mexican chicken, and shredded buffalo chicken.

I would never eat 4 hardboiled eggs willingly, but I could eat 8 deviled eggs easily.

It's a family joke that deviled eggs virtually evaporate into the air on Thanksgiving. Usually at least two or three people show up with dozens of deviled eggs and they just instantly disappear. If you don't show up in the first hour of the family gathering, they're all gone.

Baked blackened tilapia, asparagus seasoned with Jamaican Jerk seasoning, and served with sushi rice. The Sushi rice was a request and the sweetness went surprisingly well with the contrast of the spice of the fish and asparagus.

Garlic naan pizza. A mini garlic naan, some marinara, mozzarella, then whatever toppings. I diced a bratwurst and a jalapeno. Then it's just airfryer time.

A go to for the last month has been a basic some basic spaghetti. Cook up some spaghetti, dice some onions and garlic, saute it, throw two eggs in the cooked spaghetti, mix it all up, let it sit for a few min to thicken up. Really convenient for a pantry meal and goes with a lot of cut of meats.

For breakfast, I've been cooking up some cream of wheat once in a while. Use milk instead of water, brown sugar, butter, and some freshly ground cinamon makes a much better meal than oatmeal. Think I may pick up some grits next time I go to the store, been forever since I've had them and can't be too far off from cream of wheat. Just make sure to soak or wash your pan as soon as your done, or it'll be a pita afterwards.

I had planned to make spring rolls to go with a stir fry but the phyllo pastry got a little broken in the freezer so I decided to use it to make an apple croustade since I had a bunch of apples.


I made a caramel apple filling which I flavored with cinnamon and a little brandy, I didn’t have any ice cream so I made a vanilla custard sauce to serve it with.

Speaking of which, does anyone have any good egg heavy recipes?

I like to make egg bites. Take a bunch of eggs and add in your choice of cheese, veggies and meat. Mix it all together and put them in the oven using muffin trays. They hold pretty well in the fridge and can be frozen for like a week and then reheated. There's a shit load of recipes online of people trying to recreate the Starbucks you can look up but it kinda comes down to what you have on hand besides eggs as to what recipe you will want to use.

Enjoying some shakshuka with goat cheese and bread.

Tonight I made steak and eggs for dinner, you may notice that I am a filthy cilantro eater

The night before grocery shopping I made tenders from turkey breast. I made the breading from ground oats, thyme, smoked paprika and fresh parmesan, dredged in egg and flour and oven baked.

I’m going to be making Chinese food on the weekend, chicken chow mein and I’ve got some minute steak to make crispy chili beef.

 

[OrionBalls]

110 plain scones, 3c lemon curd, 3c faux clotted cream, 45 vanilla strawberry yogurts, 45 mango pineapple yogurts, 120 curried chicken salad sandwiches, 100 ham salad sandwiches, 120 cucumber sandwiches, 288 deviled eggs, and other miscellaneous things here. No. I do not cater for a living. Thank the sweet Lord this is never happening, again. I got some pictures of the place settings and the breakfast, which was served buffet style, but it's not that great.

 

[Fenno McLeod]

I'm not sure I've nailed it yet, it was so sweet, but maybe that's just the nature of frosting. Anyone have tips or recipe recommendations?

My mother used to put a little lemon juice in her frosting to cut the sweetness. Just a little, though.

 

[Adamska]

Yeah, usually you'd cut it with a bit of acid. Lemon juice and vinegar are common additives to that front. Either that or you add more butter or another fat to balance the load. Both do a good job at cutting sweetness, though it will likely stay pretty darn sweet.

 

[Betonhaus]

Made pork ribs. A bit too much cayenne but otherwise they're yummy

 

[indomitable snowman]

Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, done up in the instant pot.

I made a loaf of bread this afternoon and somehow forgot to put the yeast in. The timer on the breadmaker went off, I opened it up expecting my normal nice fluffy loaf of fresh bread, and instead found a tiny half-cooked pale doughball sitting in the bottom of the pan.

I may actually be mentally retarded.

Money has been pretty tight lately so I've been buying spam to cook cheap meals for my family. Don't get me wrong, spam tastes like shit, but I simply figured out how to make it not taste like spam.

Today I tried making spam tacos.

First I sliced the spam up and soaked it in water for 30 minutes to get rid of some of the saltiness. I put a light amount of taco seasoning on the spam. After that I melted some butter into a cast iron pan and I put the spam in the pan with diced onion.
Then I put the pan into the oven and baked it at 250 degrees.

After an hour the spam starts to get really tender and the onion is caramelized. I took it out and put it on the stove at a low temperature, added a tiny bit more butter, some minced garlic, and I shredded the spam with a fork. After about 5 minutes, I poured in a can of El Pato tomato sauce, stirred it around really well, and then I let it simmer for another 30 minutes while stirring occasionally.

It came out really good and you honestly couldn't even tell it was made out of spam. One can was able to feed 6 people.
