Got really bored this week. Made pasta, cut and fried a slab of homemade maple bacon into lardons, then made a sauce with some chicken thighs, the lardons, some farmers cheese (which I bought not knowing wth it was). Came out super tasty! It probably has a name, who knows.

Beef and broccoli (too salty...needs adjusting)
Just getting it started today
Ground pork and ground chuck chilli with pinto beans. Got the beans soaking now and the pork is thawing. Normally i go much lighter on the pork but this will be about 50/50. Just drain off the extra fat as needed.

Anyone ever make zongzi?
(Chinese dish popular at dim sum...sticky rice and pork that's wrapped/steamed in banana leaf)
The recipes I've looked up are all over the board with regard to rice prep (some say cook, some say soak for an hour, some way soak over night), and cooking time (some say to boil/steam for 6 hours, others say boil/steam for an hour....and it doesn't seem to correspond with rice prep time).
Any tips out there?
Lookin' at you, @Evilgrin

Well, you really got me craving that. Then the supermarket was inexplicably (inexcusably) out of flank steak. So chicken and broccoli it was.

Been wanting to make these for a while. Lightly toasted and buttered English muffins with tillamook cheese, home pecan smoked ham and an egg cooked in butter in muffin dish. Wrapped in parchment and ready for the week. Not better or worse then breakfast burrotos just different. Really good though. Also made bean and cheese burritos. Made my red chilli sauce, had to get recipe from thread because I lost my data, and decided wth and just mixed the beans with sauce. Put on cheese on tortilla and wrapped in parchment.
@TwistedGray that beer can always cracks me up - MontereyBeer, Alvarado Street Brewing, Salinas CA!!
Never did get down to Alvarado Street to try them out before we left CA. We were so into brewing our OWN beer by then that we didn't really see the need!

C rolls for party. Also, little smokies wrapped in homemade dough, nacho cheese in crock pot, hot artichoke dip, mozzarella sticks, a cake not pictured, various tortilla pin wheels, a cheese plate, some lunch meat, veggies and salami. Also in the back is lime sherbet and sprite punch. The c rolls, dang.

They're owned and brewed by the guys at Alvarado. Perhaps they brought in a new brewer with their dedicated location in Carmel, but they started out of the Salinas location, if my memory is correct. Anyways, they're doing their own thing now...the "brewpub" in Carmel is what you'd expect a better IN Carmel to look like. If you're in the area, make it a point to go.
Edited to add - they got a really good happy hour!! The food is great; the beer compliments it, not the other way around.

Yup, made more potato puffs. Now they're in a gallon Ziploc bag in the freezer. So, for an easy weeknight dinner I pull out 3-4 for each of us, put them in a 350 deg. oven for 30 minutes and they're an awesome side for a grilled strip steak or pork chop. Love these things.
@TwistedGray I hope to NEVER be in CA again - LOL! You never know though. I do like the Carmel Plaza - LOVE Flying Fish restaurant, assume it's still there?
I'd definitely try Yeast of Eden if I ever found myself there again.

Homemade Salisbury steaks. Like meatloaf patties. So delicious
Filets were $10 off the package at Costco. Served with baked tater and a salad — happy hubby, meat was like buttah.
YUM Merry!! DH likes filet. I'm not a big fan. But at THAT price...I could be convinced - especially wrapped with a fat piece of bacon like that!
I have a pot of keto chili on the stove. New recipe. Highly acclaimed by many. We shall see! Woke up to 13* here this morning (central AZ) and high is currently 32* at 1:30 pm. Weather.com prediction shows snowflakes Mon/Tues/Wed - we shall see - comfort food will prevail if that's the case!

Should've stayed over here ; ) Only 31f this morning...double that (literally) this afternoon.
ps: I'm eating Sunday's chili myself (for lunch).
Thanks! I found a package that was $25 so $15 and I have enough filet for 2 meals. Hubby did not complain, I seared on the cook top then popped the skillet into the a 400 F oven while my microwaved potatoes were finishing. Brought them to a platter to rest while I put the salad in a bowl. Pretty easy meal really.
Chili is a perfect meal for a snowy day! No beans I gather.
Interested in the recipe if it turns out well!

Homemade rolls and hamburgers last night with tots and kale salad bag kit. The picture does not do these justice. Btw, got a better pic of bean burrito, dang, these are good. Also update on breakfast sandwiches, they freeze and reheat beautifully. Couldnt be happier with them.

Simmer for at least 20 minutes before serving. The longer the chili simmers, the better the flavor will be. I recommend one hour or more for the best taste and texture. Add additional broth if too much cooks off during the simmering process.

This was pretty good stuff! I doubled the recipe, using 2 pounds ground venison and 1 pound ground beef, but only used 1 onion and 1 red bell pepper. I used 2 cans of diced tomatoes with peppers and a 6 oz. can of tomato paste. We both agreed that it was a bit on the "tomato-y" side for our tastes - next time I'll just put a tablespoon of tomato paste from a tube. I ended up using more cumin, garlic salt, added a tablespoon of crushed dried oregano and also a teaspoon each of dark cocoa powder and instant coffee powder. Cooked it til thick. The double batch made about 12 cups which means 1 serving = 1 cup as far as her nutritional stats go. I was afraid that a quart of beef stock was gonna be too "soupy" but it was not at all. I cooked it in my big cast iron oval Le Creuset for about 3 hours on a simmer after the first steps were completed. I'll make it again. Might try the Instant Pot sometime too!

For chilli try that mexican red powder. It makes the chilli a little brighter red and I think the flavor is better. I know I keep going on about those burritos but wow oh wow are they good. Cheap and easy to make too. Going to make another batch of them and the breakfast caddie muffins today!
Are you talking about Achiote (annatto)?
Big pot of a very meaty spaghetti sauce recipe last night and made tiramisu but don't have a picture of it served.
10# of Andouille sausage, for the superbowl. I smoke them the day after I stuff them, so they can be eaten cold later (in fact, I cut them in slices for cheese trays). Most get frozen.
Also, 10# of Brats. I chopped up frozen butter and put it in the Brats. This was super awesome. If you look closely, you might see yellow chunks.
I know I should have a plated shot, but I was busy hosting a party and never did it, and now they are all in the freezer.

Sorry, new mexican that is. I am talking about new mexican red chilli. I know you are more familiar with chillis than me but for the good of the cause I can atest it makes great chilli. Embarrassed to say I stopped using the dried ristras. So easy to use powder. But the full dried make killer enchiladas. I know of different enchilada traditions if anyone is interested. I was taught by Mexican grandmothers. Regardless of how they are assembled this sauce is used.
Muffins came out good. Not as good as the last batch with smoked ham. The burritos came out great too. Super happy to have breakfast. Made taco salad for dinner so to speak. We were supposed to have tacos but I started craving this. Put doritos and some scoops on a plate with ground beef, sliced tillamook cheese, lettuce, sour cream, homemade guac, homemade jalopeno hot sauce and pace salsa. The doritos were so good. The quac was excellent, made in thai mortar with fresh lime zest, sliced onion, sliced jalopeno, salt, olive oil, lime juice a d avocados.
