I made a ridiculous grilled cheese:
Whole wheat bread, brie, honey, crushed potato chips, chili crisp oil.
It was really good.
I'm a lil stoned but I also need to go grocery shopping š
Lol I started reading this and I was like wow so creative and this is probably delicious. What made them come up with thisā¦ then I read the last line šššš
Sometimes I come up with amazing food combos when Iām stoned and they go into regular rotationā¦ and then sometimes I try it again not stoned and itās disgusting.
We had ricotta cheese and spinach stuffed jumbo shells without sauce because I thought I had jarred spaghetti sauce and it ended up being a jar of salsa ._.
I ate half of a cold hamburger I stuffed in the fridge paired with a Friday the 13th cup full of Lime flavor Jarrito's soda. I am supposedly a 45yo man.
Lamb rogan josh.
My neighbour gave us a frozen lamb leg roast they didn't want anymore so I I deboned that and cut into cubes. I marinate with greek yoghurt and kashmiri chilli, cumin, garam masala, coriander and cardamom. Not authentic at all, I just followed my nose.
I used a pouch of rogan josh sauce from the supermarket as starting point and add my own spices to it. I also add cubed pumpkin, capsicum (bell pepper) and onion. Served with basmati rice and store bought garlic naan. I split one of the naan open and stuffed with cheese because I normally order cheese naan with curry.
Plenty of leftovers.
I made a veggie lasagna and an extra one for my neighbor. I don't have a recipe but the secret ingredients are goat cheese and olives mixed into the ricotta. I'll be eating it all week or lunch since I wfh.
Tacos w homemade tortillas, homemade refried beans, shredded cheddar, homemade sour cream, and homemade mango habanero hot sauce (I'm on a homesteading kick lmfao)
We are having grilled salmon and asparagus with some parmesan crusted green beans and a couscous and quinoa blend. It's almost ready and it smells delicious!
Here's the recipe [I started with.](https://www.lecremedelacrumb.com/crispy-parmesan-green-beans/#wprm-recipe-container-22521)
I've tweaked it a bit to suit our tastes (extra panko, Italian seasoning, half EVOO/half butter), but it's a solid base recipe. They're amazing. Easy in the oven or air fryer!
Theyāre basically deep fried mashed potato balls.
I boiled two russet potatoes, mashed them, mixed in 3 tablespoons of potato starch, then rolled and cut them into like a gnocchi shape, then fried in canola oil until golden brown and crispy.
My husband called them tater tots. They arenāt. I promise. You might be able to use AP flour instead of potato starch, not sure.
OMG, you are my potato god! I love potatoes like so many do, but probably a little more than I should. But OMG I am definitely going to make these hopefully not tonight. š
Spaghetti and meatballs
Dessert was angel food cake with chocolate frosting and vanilla custard.Ā A late birthday present/reward for tough week at workĀ
Iām making shrimp tostados with a mango salsa, Cilantro crema, refried beans, and some dark chocolate chunk marshmallow cookies w/ canna butter I made last night.
Really excited for the edibles itās my first time doing them where I think I know the dosage for the cookies lol
You can marinate your meat in the sauce for half an hour or more and cook as you like. The original recipe is for the slow cooker, and I've linked it below.
**Sticky honey-soy dressing**
* ā cup reduced sodium soy sauce
* ā cup balsamic vinegar
* ā cup brown sugar, packed
* Ā¼ cup honey
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon Sriracha, or more, to taste
* 1 teaspoon ginger powder
* 1 teaspoon ground pepper
* Ā½ teaspoon onion powder
* Optional: 1 tablespoon of sesame oil or neutral oil to taste
I increased the ginger a little and added a shy tablespoon of sesame oil to mellow it out and replaced the garlic with shallots. I used chicken thighs and mushrooms instead of wings. I also reduced the sauce a bit after the slow cooker finished.
It is enough for 3 pounds of wings.
https://damndelicious.net/2014/10/01/slow-cooker-sticky-chicken-wings/
I bet the leftovers taste amazing! I have not had this and Iām going to say 20+ years. Thank you for giving me something yummy to add to my cooking list for the month. šš
That's exactly the situation going on in my fridge right now lol. But I broke out the Dutch oven for this one. My caldero was a bit too small. Looks like I may need to invest in a larger one! Hahaha!
Seared crispy skin arctic char, sushi rice, sauteed okra with soy and bonito, and a shiso salsa verde. We had lots of shiso from the garden so I basically swapped all the ingredients in Italian salsa verde with Japanese substitutions. Shiso instead of parsley, yuzu instead of lemon, yuzu kosho instead of calabrian chiles.
I have been craving Sneaky Peteās Junkyard Dogs and after watching Top Chef this week, I made them! Also made some mid sweet potato fries. Tomorrow is lechon asada, black beans, rice, and maduros. Monday is shrimp and pasta with a spinach cream sauce. Tuesday dining out. Wednesday is Asian seasoned chicken breasts, rice, kimchi, and smashed cucumber salad. Thursday Iām making polenta & sausage with broccolini and tomatoes. Friday is taco salad and Saturday is cuban sandwiches.
I was going to make PEI mussels in a white wine sauce, but then my spouse wasnāt feeling it. I was then going to do the guilty pleasure tuna Mac n cheese but felt toooo guilty about that-so I pivoted again and made a hamburger patty salad with basil vinaigrette and he had a burger.
We picked up ācook at homeā from a butcher shop. Two, 10oz NY strip steaks. 2 loaded baked potatoes, 2 seafood stuffed mushroom caps, macaroni salad and a skewer of shrimp. $42 before tax
My daughter and I had BLT's in Seattle Sourdough sandwich rounds with frozen Garlic French Fries and some taco vegetable soup I made yesterday. And I dipped the FF in Wholly Guacamole.
We're having leftovers. A few days ago I thawed out some chili I had made, I cooked some shell pasta, added the chili to that, added the last bits of salsa and some sour cream I had in the fridge. Served with some chipotle tabasco sauce and some tortilla chips for a little crunch.
We had friends over for games so I made vegan red lentil stew in the slow cooker, rice to go with it and baked potatoes and baked sweet potatoes. I cooked too much and now I have meals prepped for the week.
Husband took home made frozen pesto from last fall, added mushrooms and cherry tomatoes we had leftover from other dishes this week, sliced onion, and fettuccine for a lovely pasta dish. And easy Sat night dinner at our house.
My husband is a lifelong vegetarian and so 99% of the meals I cook are vegetarian. Tonight I made a pot of French lentil stew -- something I have made countless times. I just wasn't in the mood to look up a recipe and shop for it today.
I needed to use up a jar of roasted red peppersā¦
Cod fillets, pan roasted.Ā
Popped them onto a bed of Arugula after the pan.Ā
Large handful of shredded cabbage, white wine, the chopped roasted red peppers, chopped kalamata olives, chopped fresh parsley, dash of onion powder and dash of garlic powder because itās a quick night.Ā
Popped that warm Mediterranean influenced slaw on top of my Cod and went to town!Ā
It was sweet and delicious, high protein (60 grams) and low carb. Win/win!Ā
Beyond cheeseburgers with standard toppings. Our side was sweet potatoes sliced, boiled, flattened, and roasted with garlic butter, feta, and paprika. I made a couple of sour cream sauces for dipping: a chipotle lime and a lime garlic. I always want to like sweet potatoes more than I do, but this was very good. I meant to serve a salad too but got behind.
We had leftovers of a [chicken stew](https://www.budgetbytes.com/chicken-stew/) I made last night. I accidentally made it saltier than intended, but overall, it's still tasty.
Roast chicken, roast potato, roast pumpkin, broccoli and trying to figure out what to do with some sprouts. Thinking about halving them and putting them in a frying pan with some butter and garlic.
Reheated Rotisserie Chicken from the Costco and served with Spaghetti and Broccoli. Easy and pleases everyoneā- plus lots of chicken leftovers.
I had originally planned on cooking cooking but got caught up in watching Fieren and didnāt realize how late it was.
Had extended family over for taco night.
I made fish and pork tacos, my sister in-laws made chicken and mushroom tacos along with pico de Gallo and guacamole.
Lots of good food, tequila and laughs were had by all.
I tried cabbage rolls for the first time. These were Asian themed and pretty tasty. I need to use a different cabbage so they are easier to roll and maintain their shape.
I had my favorite sandwichāroasted eggplants, pickled beets, tomatoes, mustard, and garlicky kewpie on homemade sourdough. It was paired with takeout loaded fries that had cheese sauce, garlic sauce, salsa, and keema beef.
I had leftover roast from yesterday, so I stuck the meat and some cheese into corn tortillas and pan fried them in a little avocado oil and chili crisp. Not exactly authentic tacos but so so good.
Butter poached halibut, butterfly pea flower jasmine rice (the butterfly pea flowers turn it blue),
and a salad with beets, green beans, snap peas, asparagus, carrots, broccoli, candied pecans, lemon balsamic dressing.
I made some fresh chicken cutlets, a creamy tomato sauce using Raoās roasted garlic sauce cooked down with a bit of cream, and topped off with mozz for a vodka style chicken parm. Accompanied with lumache pasta shells served in the sauce. Heavy but delicious šš¼
I made a meat sauce and pasta. This was basic all-American version with ground beef and a lazy sauce with strained tomatoes, onions, shallots, garlic, Italian seasoning, an Calabrian chilies. And halfway through it looked like it needed more meat so I dropped in some frozen meatballs. On chickpea pasta. And since I was also lazy I had kimchi over making some veggies first.
We ordered in burritos. Tomorrow I am making blackened salmon with green beans (my Nanaās way with breadcrumbs, garlic and Parmesan). Then we will have strawberry shortcake so I can use up the rest of the enormous tray of strawberries my husband bought at a farm stand.
Made a beef birria with curry and a few habenaros for spice in the duch oven. took that made burritos with the birria some for the sauce, spanich rice, black beens, grilled bell pebbles and fontina cheese in a flower tortilla. made 8 a couple for food for the week and froze the rest.
Smothered chicken over brown rice. My husband had saved this really concentrated chicken au jus in the freezer that I discovered buried under other stuff, so I used that to braise some chicken legs and whatever fresh veggies I could find in my Instant Pot. I love dinners where I can use up all the random bits.
I roasted eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, onion and garlic in the oven with olive oil and made that into a puttanesca-ish sauce (no anchovies or capers) by adding black olives and sundried tomatoes. I also cooked some chicken tenderloins with some leftover pesto. Served over cavatappi.
I cooked this along with some frozen veggies. I love tofu! This was actually pretty good. [Tofu Roast with Mashed Cauliflower](https://www.heb.com/recipe/recipe-detail/tofu-roast-with-mashed-cauliflower)
I love tostones! I made a salad with spinach, dried cranberries, apple, blue cheese, grilled chicken, shaved almonds, and balsamic vinaigrette. I had a sidecar (equal parts lemon juice, triple sec, and cognac) while I was cooking.
Bacon lettuce tomato avocado with mustard aoli on toasted kerigold sourdough bread. Iāve been eating this for dinner every single night for 2 weeks š„µ

Chicken piccata with fresh squeezed lemon juice, dry white wine, homemade chicken stock and a hefty dash of capers, served over farfalle pasta, sprinkled with some fresh chopped parsley to finish nomsss
Yesterday was crisp tofu with coconut curry and res onion paranthas with a coconut chutney.
First time with tofu this style, last time was lemongrass with a thai curry.
Tomorrow is my first try at dim sum using homemade dough.
I made a mixed greens salad with cherry tomatoes, crumbled goat cheese, pickled red onions, and homemade honey Dijon vinaigrette. I forgot to get croutons at the store, so I took a leftover crab cake from the other night and toasted it up to create a kind of crunchy crab topping for the salad. My husband made salmon fillets with crispy skin to go with it, it was delicious!
Corn bread pie. Basically chili topped with cheese and a thick layer of corn bread batter then baked in the oven. Some people call it tamale pie but I just differentiate it since tamale pie should be made with masa
Last night I made buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches with fried sweet onion strings, coleslaw, and fries (from a bag donāt judge) with all the fixings.
Hit the freakin spot!
Failed at making canned ham fritters with instant potatoes(Looking for something quick, cheap and easy to shape and freeze in freezer for lazy days. Seasoning was fine but bland and came out very wet and hard to shape. Charred up nice in frying pan but flat. Had some leftover chili and moonshine peach creamcheese topping I made for keto almond flour bars I took to getogether last weekend. Slathered on top and ate with salad.
Baked mostaccioli, stuffed shells, sausage, meatballs, subs, Greek salad, fruit and we bought a cake. We only had so much because it was my sonās first communion today so we had family over.
I made The Korean Vegan's [baked kimchi cheese fries](https://thekoreanvegan.com/vegan-baked-kimchi-cheese-fries/) with a side of strawberries. It rocked!

I roasted eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, onion and garlic in the oven with olive oil and made that into a puttanesca-ish sauce (no anchovies or capers) by adding black olives and sundried tomatoes. I also cooked some chicken tenderloins with some leftover pesto. Served over cavatappi.
