Cornbread. I have NEVER gotten sick of good cornbread. Holy fuck I love cornbread.

I need to make some.

Try using white corn meal. It gives it a more delicate flavor and isn't as gritty as yellow

The grittiness is the good part though.

A sheet pan dinner with chicken thighs, potatoes, carrots, lemons and fennel. It turned out beautifully with very moist chicken. I like sheen pan recipes because "throw shit on a pan and cook it" it super easy and usually very healthy.

I picked up this bag from Costco, made the recipe on the back. Very good but I should have soaked the beans first. Used beef sausage and added some mixed rice.

Always soak the beans first. It sounds like an extra step but seriously it takes like a minute. And the results are so much better. You can probably skip it with lentils but anything else? Just soak them.

Made carnitas in the pressure cooker for the first time today. Crisped up a bit under the broiler to finish. The meat seemed to take in the flavor of the cooking liquid and spices very well. It turned out more flavorful than the times I've braised the meat for 3-4 hours.

Made for a pretty good fucking taco.

Made a take on pork stew and oden - used a pressure cooker with about 2 lbs of pork, some ham boullion, and squash, potatoes, yams and daikon.

Sauted the pork, then deglazed with 1 pint ham broth, worchestershire, red wine and a little bit of white vinegar. Added the veggies. Pressure cooked for about 30 mins. was delicious.

in retrospect, the pork was a little chewy and the squash was overcooked. I think next time I might parboil the starches for about 5 mins, then dump them into the pressure cooked with pork and squash and only cool for 20 mins.

I made fajitas using a Korean Ginger and Chile sauce. On Flour Tortillas of course, with a slice of cheddar melted onto it. Fucking delicious.

 

[Datura Stramonium]

I made a banging lemon curd cheesecake with caramel merengue

 

[Damien Thorne]

Pancakes with bacon mixed in the batter, topped with real maple syrup. I regret nothing about this.

Slow cooker cheesy chicken and rice. Easy, filling, and plenty of leftovers.

 

[Goyslop Muncher]

A steak with Chicago seasoning, and a salad with lots of good veggies, Italian dressing, olives, and cheese.

Made beef jerky for the first time. A little over dried, but still delicious. So far I think salmon jerky is my favorite to make.

My own hand. That wasn't on purpose though.

I like doing this really low and really slow. I usually lay out tin foil on the bottom rack and dangle the strips on toothpicks from the top rack. I find it's better stored semi-openly because if you actually put it in sealed containers it molds instead of drying out. Also if it's any good it is gone well before it can go bad in any way. Also one of the very few actual uses for eye of round.

I have a food dehydrator, which is what I usually use. I had the temp at about 150F, just left it running a little long. I was worried I cut the strips too thick, but I didn't. It's still good though, it definitely won't last around me lol. My oven has a dehydrate setting, but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet for some reason. The bread proof setting works amazing, so I'll just have to man up about it one day. And yeah, this definitely the best way to have beef round.

I was actually considering getting a dehydrator and then I realized just 150 Fahrenheit worked just fine. Why spend money for some dumb single purpose device when an oven works fine?

Made some sirloin burgers while my wife was asleep so I could treat myself to something made out of beef. I had some good brioche buns and some slices of havarti garlic & herb cheeses left.

I agree, I despise most single purpose tools, but I dehydrate fruit, veg, and herbs as well, so having something with a lower heat profile helps.

Air fried bbq chicken legs with veggies.

Smoked pork loin
