I baked some drumsticks and had a salad on the side (none of that sugary dressing, just lemon juice and sesame seeds).
 
I cooked some fried hard-boiled eggs with breadcrumbs and flour. Although I may have to dodge away from the exploding oil , because cooking these don't even make uses of using lids.

After it was finely cooked, I have to turn off the stove so that I can easily take the eggs from the pan. It was for dinner specifically.

Being a good son and cooking up a hearty stew.

  • Beef chuck roast. Store I went to didn't have any stewing beef surprisingly, so I grabbed a roast with some nice marbling in it. Obviously, cut it up into pieces. Vary between 1/2" and 1" pieces.
  • 5-6 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 large potatoes, sliced up and cut into cubes. Parents had russet potatoes on hand
  • 2 onions, diced. Parents had sweet onions on hand
  • 3 carrots, cut to portions
  • 2 1/2 celery stalks, cut to about 1/2" pieces
  • A bottle of beer. Went with Innis & Gunn. Gonna want heavier ales, porters, or a stout.
  • Beef broth.
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Flour
Pour some oil in you decent sized pot and heat over medium-high heat; I like using veggie oil for my stews, but my parents were out, so I used canola oil. With your pieces of beef, coat them in flour before throwing in the pot to brown. You'll be batching this as to not crowd the pot, so have a spare bowl at the ready to put the beef in once the pieces are browned.
Once you get through browning all the beef, throw in the onions to the pot and use them to scrape off the flour and beef bits stuck to the pot. Once they start browning/getting translucent, throw in your minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.
Once you've cooked the onions and garlic together, throw in the rest of the veggies and mix it around. Cook the veggies for a few minutes and then pour the beef back in. Once you mix the beef with the veggies, throw in the bottle of beer and then top up the pot with beef broth until its up to the top of the mix. Heat the stew up to a boil on medium-high and them lower the temp to low from here on out. At this point, I'll add some salt & pepper. This will take about an hour to stew. After the first 15-20 minutes though, taste stew and see if you need more salt and pepper. Enjoy with some biscuits or bread with some butter spread onto them.
 
Lazy Cajun Pasta. Bell pepper, onion, garlic, green onion, sage, Tony Chachere's, louisiana hot sauce, andouille, beef stock, and tri color pasta, with a splash of cream to finish.

I made some pulled pork and mixed it into a blend consisting of a store-bought Kansas City BBQ sauce and my homemade Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce.

The only issues I had involved my pressure cooker’s slow cooker function being a bitch and the fat in the pork shoulder not rendering properly due to the previous issues. If I want to make this specific again I’ll have to search for a proper slow cooker and/or a better pork cut. I could also follow a recipe that‘s meant for pressure cookers.

Not knocking pressure cookers, but I find that pulled pork is best when you cook it low and slow in a Dutch oven. The flavour is always way more intense!

I usually coat the pork shoulder with spice rub, sear on all sides, add onion purée and chicken stock, then braise everything in the oven for 3-4 hours at 285 F,
 
An improvised shawarma wrap. I concocted a rub consisting of ground ginger, sumac, zaatar, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, and lemon juice. Threw some chicken filets into a Ziploc bag with this rub and some olive oil, marinated it for about five hours in the fridge. Tossed it onto the grill pan, then added the grilled chicken into a whole-wheat pita with chopped lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, hot sauce, and homemade garlic sauce (tahini, yogurt, garlic, onion powder, lemon juice, salt).

Despite lacking a few components, it held its own against the local shawarma joint. At least, I like to think so.

My take on the Amazing Apricot pizza from Moose's Tooth in Alaska. If you have a chance, go; their pizza and beer are award winning.

Cream cheese, apricot spread, red peppers, onion, green onion, garlic, and blackened chicken, topped with shredded carrots. Sounds insane, but trust me, it's fucking good.

I used Matty Matheson's 3 Day Pizza Dough recipe, which I totally recommend if you love big chewy crust.
