Just one plated picture there. The right one. luv.

 

[Staestc]

Had to do the spicy green beans again last night at wife's "request" (demand). So I did the bacon wrapped poblano meatloaf again, with smashed taters, the green beans, and a shallot, wine, and beef stock reduction sauce. Down home decadent! Yeah, the plated picture is a little sloppy, but I was hungry!! lol

Thanks! That purple cauliflower really ups the ante.

 

[Staestc]

That's just gorgeous! Nicely done, and great picture!

Pre-refried beans. Got the recipe out of a supposed authentic Mexican cookbook. I've given up on what is truly authentic Mexican; I suspect that what I see nowadays isn't what these good folks put in their bellies 100 years ago. I'll say though that the mixture smells great right now while it's simmering.

Beautiful but me, personally, would like a blurb--is that purple cauliflower?

Yup, purple cauliflower done on the grill in a bit of foil. Roasted carrots with a touch of honey and cardamom. Simple sauteed green beans with just salt & pepper. Pork tenderloin seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic. Low and slow to 120°, quick sear to finish. Pulled off the heat at barely safe temp. Leftovers sliced super thin for next day's campsite lunch.

purple cauliflower

Thanks. I'm not sure if I've seen that color around here. the whole meal is so nice looking.
My wife loves cardamom.
Edit: my "low and slow" is 225°F. What's yours?

My wife likes these refried beans. Pretty straightforward.

Edit: my "low and slow" is 225°F. What's yours?

Weber kettle set up with a chimney's worth off to one side. Top exhaust wide open, bottom at minimum. I do the 'low and slow' for thick steaks, small roasts, and chicken parts on the far side, I'm not sure what temp it really is. For day-to-day cooking I don't bother with anything other than an instant read thermometer (the same one I use for mash temps, the horror!) for spot checks.

For real BBQ and big roasts, I use a Smokenator 2000 (yes, real product) and a leave-in thermometer to keep it at 225-235°. For whole poultry, I cook them butterflied at 325°.

Oh!! Got lost in all the cool stuff everybody is doing! I’m doing the summertime staple roasted tomato basil soup. Mostly using Costco Campari tomatoes that are so good this time of year. Plan an serving with some top shelf grilled cheese sandwiches on rustic Italian bread with really nice Gouda, Munster, and Cheddar!

Chicken Marsala-ish, I guess? Mushrooms, garlic, lemon juice, zest, sauv blanc, oregano. Roasted sweet potatoes. Mixed greens sauteed in a touch of butter with a bit of the wine, salt, pepper.

My secret for super juicy, flavorful chicken breasts? Chicken thighs.
