Good tacos. Did trim q bunch of fat off the cheeks but that seems to be normal (I also made some pickled onion and radish)
Eventually I might try a basic barbacoa with no peppers or onion or anything since I think that's how it's usually made with cheek meat

Prepped some barbacoa. With any luck, we'll have something good in like 6 hours

Trying to use more varied proteins, so here's some Mexican (Spanish) lentils. They're Mexican cuz I used Mexican Chorizo instead of Spanish
Surprisingly good. Goes great with Cheese and sour cream

So I had a watermelon at home and my wife bought a watermelon on the side of the road while she was out so now I have a shitton of watermelon and agua fresca. My fridge is too full 🍉😐🍉

Made the tandoori chicken. Flavor's great, though it's a little dry (owing to the white meat). Of course, if I turn it into butter chicken dryness is no longer an issue
Honestly it seems like it was a good amount of Greek yogurt. I saved the juice after broiling for....something

Spent tonight prepping for a couple meals. The oats and dressing is for my wife and the tandoori chicken is a recipe I'm trying out

Finally back to do some cooking, and I made some Kenji salmon chowder. Basically clam chowder with Salmon instead. Made this partially because my wife and her sister like bread bowls
Real tasty; I don't really like clams, but this was great with cubed salmon.

I've cleaned out the freezers and am defrosting the big one. It's kinda mesmerizing to watch

I have made some good Mexican rice (but I keep forgetting to drop in my japapeño). Made banana bread too 🍌

Making Mexican beans and rice today. The beans I freeze and eat for breakfast and they came out great
The rice... I tried making it with brown rice instead of jasmine to see if it worked (heretical I know) and the texture is shot. I'll experiment some more...

I had a bunch of meat and red sauce I wanted to clear out of the freezer so easy meal tonight. Used up the rest of the meatballs from before too

My absolute favorite part of this

Got a new big enamel dutch oven as a gift, so I celebrated with beef stew. Took longer than suggested in the recipe for the meat to be tender, but still very good and honestly not really a difficult cook

Finally did some cooking after a week of cleaning. Salmon, sweet potato gnocchi, asparagus, and some quick rolls
As usual, gnocchi and bread needed more salt, but overall turned out very well. I'm glad the gnocchi turned out at all since these were very wet sweet potatoes
🍜 #food #cooking

I just like making breakfast

Nice meal for the family: salmon fillets, sweet potatoes, and a salad with carrot ginger dressing!
Turned out very tasty. Salmon was a little overcooked, but my wife gets really antsy about temps so I overdid it a little bit

Here's some shots of the cookie dough. I tried uploading 7 pictures at once and Bluesky crumpled like a folding table

Made some Cajun chicken pasta tonight, but the fam is firm that the kingsford Cajun spice is too spicy. It's a shame because it has by far the lowest salt and it smells amazing while cooking.
Aside from that it was good and I made some cookie dough for later too 👍

Caesar salad for dinner and this time I made the croutons. I'm out of pasteurized eggs but some mayo made a reasonable substitute for the dressing
🍜 #food #cooking

Finally took the time to organize the kitchen after getting into a Fey mood. Stovetop looks so much better now but the rest of the kitchen looks nicer too

Red beans n rice. I used some older beans so they turned out less tender than I'd like but it was still good
I do think it was a mistake to add the andouie sausage too early though. I'll add it toward the end next time

Finally remembered to take pictures. Meatball night and I threw together a quick salad too

For those who missed the original post

Oh yeah definitely made too much lol




Making strawberry cake but hopefully being successful this time! The cake seems to have turned out really well but I won't actually know until I frost it tomorrow (for my wife's birthday). Basic buttercream and assembly for tomorrow and hoping for good results 🤞

Made some refried beans from the recipe that seems popular on youtube. Even cheaper than normal with dried beans. They're good, but honestly I think I just prefer black beans.

Chicken and (homemade) gnocchi soup tonight, partially from recipe and partially winging it. Very tasty! My wife doesn't like chicken and dumplings but she did like this
Always thankful to Internet Shaquille for his gnocchi video
