Wife made fried chicken & mashed taters yesterday, with sour cream & chives! New two basket deep fryer comes in handy, as does the Pro 600 Kitchenaid with the toys...
 
Kitchenaid has several pasta attachments - one is an extruder, similar to that manual thingie you pictured (which I have, and it works well)and has half a dozen or so dies for different shapes; and then they also have roller/cutter attachments, which I'm lusting after but probably won't buy any time soon because we do low-carb 98% of the time.
 
Speaking of pasta. :)

Spaghetti with guanciale, wood roasted onions, San Marzano tomatoes, and pecorino. :mug:
 
No pictures (again!) but quinoa made with homecanned turkey stock and topped with Panang curry with yellow squash, red onion, red/yellow bell pepper, Costco rotisseried chicken breast, homegrown Thai basil leaves - topped with fried basil leaves, and a side of sliced avocado with homegrown lime juice and Hawaiian sea salt.
 
Has anyone used the Kitchen Aid meat grinder attachment? I hear grinding your own meat is the way to go. Get some sirloin tip and throw a couple of dabs of butter in it and you're good to go. I see KA has a plastic version and then a steel version. Supposedly one of these attachments does a good job.

Like the meat grinder. All I have works good. Got the veggie /fruit strainer. DO NOT RUN RASPBERRIES TWICE. Will break the shaft for strainer. Run tomatoes twice all the time. Just figured I'd share, found this info when looking for replacement shaft. Lil too late tho. Stumbled on a couple cherry trees (sour) gotta vac seal some and start thinking what to do with them. Off topic I know :off: Oh well all good :tank:

Tater tot casserole and chocolate (pause) chocolate chip cookies. The tater tot casserole was good. From fix it and forget it book. Slow cooked in pressure cooker on low temp (crock pot) setting. Kids chowed so ill share recipe. Layer pound ground beef raw, frozen green beans and can cream of mushroom. Spread cream of mushroom. Next do a layer of cheese we did mozarella cause thats what we had. Then hefty layer of tater tots. Season every layer separately or at least thats what i did. Silly really...
 
Sweet potato hash. Sauteed the sweet potatoes in coconut oil, seasoned with our favorite herb blend, glazed with a bit of maple syrup. Served on leftover jasmine rice with egg, sambal oelek, and homemade Greek yogurt.

Happy fathers day. A case study in being lazy but cooking tasty breakfast. I have raved about the Hamilton Beach breakfast machine before, and still use it. That being said I need a sandwich maker cuz I can get stupid with those. Anyways only used the bottom of the sandwich maker, and first buttered bottom, then did a layer of smoked ham from the other day , cracked an egg on top, and covered with cheese. Then put on a warm ciabatta roll. The ham took on a very nice sear. Here's a pic but I mean come on..
