What Have You Cooked Recently?

Keto tacos, put two slices of provolone cheese in the microwave for 1 to 2 mins on parchment paper to make the shells. When they're done form them into taco shapes using some kind of rod like object. Put in the meat, tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, and a bit of extra cheese. Surprisingly some of the best tacos I've ever made and I had to use different seasoning because the one I usually use has carbs in it, highly recommend if you're on keto or want to try something different.

If you didn't dump a half pound of sour cream onto each taco, it wasn't truly keto.
 
Made some peanut butter yesterday. Took a bag of spanish peanuts, 3/8ths of a cup of peanut oil, and a squeeze of honey, ground 'em in a food processor for a minute or two, and stuck it in the fridge for an hour. It turned out pretty good.
 
Just finishing off the chicken/bacon stew I made two days ago with leftover celeriac, rutabaga, potato and leek and seasoned with thyme, oregano, a big chung of pepper and a shitload of garlic.

I almost kinda wish I had a cold because this feels like it would be the ultimate cold remedy.

Most importantly though It was a trial run of my new pressure cooker and im happy to say that it handled sauteing, browning, sweating, and stewing duties extremely well which means im going to be easily able to crank out a meat/veg stew once or twice a week as we head into spring. Right now im trying to cook with vegetables I havent really cooked with much before so im probably going to try something with turnip or squash next

My dude, welcome to the world of pulses. You can cook up dried beans in about 40 minutes in a pressure cooker, no soaking over night bullshit. Also great for making stock from chicken carcasses you've frozen.
Tasty recipe for pressure cooking

Million Dollar Chicken with brussel sprouts is what I cooked tonight. I used the recipe from Food Wishes, and I added a chicken gravy I made earlier this week. The bread was overdone more than usual, but delicious. I also added rosemary to the cavity as well as a rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice butter under the skin.

I wish the butcher had actually tried to find a bigger chicken like I asked instead of picking up the first one he saw. I need a new butcher who doesn't look like he wants to kill me the instant I walk in.

Pan fried with lot of European butter. Still slamming meal.

For a bunch of basement dwelling hateful internet trolls
Seems to be a lot of nice granite counter tops in this thread.

Recently made quinoa with vegetables in a cast iron skillet. Topped it off with cheese and avocado and just scooped it out of the pan with chips.
 
Made some chili
Bunch of little tomatoes cut in half, 2 lbish burger meat, drained and rinsed cans of red beans and mushrooms, an onion, a bell pepper, some paprika, some cumin, some tumeric, and a couple of packages of mcormick organic chili seasoning

Turned out pretty good
 
I made a batch of peach muffins so I have something for breakfast this week. Will report back/post pics if they're good.
 
Steak tacos with fajitas, with an emphasis on drawing out the steak feel of the dish. Steak seared sauteed with cumin, paprika, chili powder, and secret recipe seasoning salt. Pan heated and buttered the tortillas, added both A1 and Picamas, best damn mild hot sauce south of the border I've had so far.
