Pasta bake for this week's lunch

A hearty winter meal. Navy & pinto beans, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and a smoked ham hock. Seasoned with thyme, sage, and bay leaves. Accompanied by true southern cornbread made with stone ground cornmeal and natural cultured buttermilk.

Pain Au Chocolat

Saturday focaccia

Had an “ugly donut” today. Tbh it taste the same as a regular donut, feels like they were able to sell a bunch of messed up donuts and ran with that idea 😅 (photo from their website)

Polenta chips on a marinara sauce

Healthy eating steamed broccoli brussel sprouts, baked chicken, corn on cob,sliced tomatoes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, seasoned baked potatoes with oregano kosher salt & olive oil.

Brunch- Shakshuka

I served it over Trader Joes Hash brown Patties

Saw a lot of videos about Canadian lollipop snow/maple taffy not sure if we have any Canadians in this bowl but just curious to hear if anyone has actually done this before and if it taste good.

Steaming chicken tonight. Marinated it with lemon grass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, and white pepper

Cheesecake bites with coconut cream pie yogurt, mascarpone and shaved dark chocolate

This is called sour fish soup which is a dish commonly eaten in south East Asian cuisines. Have yall ever tried before?

Proustian moment, had Proust lived in the 1970s. Memories of my grandmother and various blue-haired aunts at family gatherings brought to the surface by an offering from a dairy products stall at the old-school food market where I regularly shop for fruit, veg, dairy, and animal proteins. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_salad

Soup time. This is kimchi soondubu- made it for the snowy weather we have been having

Focaccia Friday

Not such thing as too many green onions

Peruvian inspired

Our healthy take on saltimbocca with turkey tenders pounded down, sage/prosciutto, seasoned, lightly floured and oiled, and then air fried in our oven.

Came out great.

Started out as Hainanese Chicken Rice, but cukes & ginger went bad. Called audible, scalloped large chicken breasts to thin, dredged in flour, egg, panko, & pan fried to GBD. Transferred to foil lined baking sheet, topped with jarred spaghetti sauce, fresh mozzarella pearls & aged shredded mozz. Baked to cook through and melt cheese. Stringed green beans simmered with chicken stock, shallot, garlic & redskin spuds. Smashed spuds & crisped in skillet with rendered schmaltz from making stock.

Baked chocolate cheesecake with pink sugar. A little sweetness to start the week right

Made tomato soup from scratch to fight against this cold weather

Homemade Bibimbap. I seasoned the chicken two days prior to making this and definitely helped the chicken have more flavor on its own. The sauce I made with soy sauce, gochujang, honey and water. Everything else seasoned with salt and sesame oil
