What did I cook this weekend.....

[TwistedGray]

That is one thing I miss on keto - nachos! I LOVE them. I've tried it on pork rinds and it's OK but not the same taste. Taco salad is delicious and I love it but different from my beloved nachos. Those look reallllllly gooooood @TwistedGray!

Usually do pork nachos, so this was a nice change of pace but yeah, yum

View attachment 667434 Actually remembered (after the first bite, had to rearrange things a bit!) to take a picture today of the taco salad. I like those little round cheese crisps in place of tortilla chips, since we eat keto. Boy this was tasty stuff.

That's just beautiful!!

Frozen the rest of the new york steak, sliced it thin, then diced it up. I made some cranberry beans from Rancho Gordo yesterday and maybe them this evening. Nachos!!

Very nice indeed! I love shepherds pie, but have never made it. Seems like everytime I lean that way I end up making Irish stew with colcannon.

In Peru they make something slightly similar. They fill mashed taters with the meat and fry them. Its called Papas Rellena. There is a Colombian and Puerto Rican version also. Dark bear is sometimes used for a couple Peruvian stewed dishes.

I did not even know they had bears in Peru, much less dark bears!

So, same thing really, you just have one more dish to wash! BTW love colcannon. And bubble and squeak, its English cousin.

Son and I made stir fry last night. I love cooking with the little guy. Pecan smoked pork, little bacon, little Canadian bacon, celery, carrots, onion. Haha, this chopper worked. Anyone know what it is, my mom gave it to me at christmas. Haha, and my daughters 100 day project. She wanted a 98 mm base with two on top. Seemed weird, but turned out the two on top could have been doing anything. Skiing, on an island, watching tv, etc...we made this cute little scene, but I was impressed how this simple idea could have unfolded into any scene.View attachment 667214View attachment 667215View attachment 667216

Nice job and great activity to do with the little ones. The chopper you're asking about is called An Onion Chopper and it's made by a company in Seattle/Kent WA called Progressive Intl. My wife happens to work there and it really is an awesome tool that every kitchen should have. (Some of us may remember the collapsing stainless steel steamers baskets from back in the 70's, that's one of the first big products they came up with).

Posting again without the vulgar comment about my current wife.

Rib eye, mushrooms, asparagus, saffron risotto.

Another meal my current wife complained about.

Loaded baked potato soup. This was dynamite.

Love albondigas soup! Learned about it on a DDD episode that went to Pepe & Mito's in Deep Ellum in Dallas, then we went to Pepe & Mito's a tried it and it was just amazing. So since I had the DDD episode recorded, I recreated the soup from that and got pretty close. Peppe & Mito's does flat albondigas to order on a flat top griddle that end up looking like little hamburger patties, then serve those in the soup and it's amazing. I have made it both that way and with normal albondigas as you did and love them all.

Care to share your recipe? I'm always game to try a new one!

All credit goes to the wife on this one... Red wine braised short ribs (in the slow cooker) over sweet potato mash.

That looks awesome and nice picture!

With a little of the Gilroy Garlic sauce on the bottom (can't see) it was the perfect lunch bite.

Crispy onion garlic walleye, lettuce, and zuccini. I am a simple man.

Creamed asparagus and leek soup with parmesan cheese and brussel sprout cold slaw. The soup is actually bright green but it looks grayed in the pic.View attachment 666869 View attachment 666870

Wait is this like the infamous dress pic. I see more yellow soup.

Mmmmm, walleye.

Pork and yellow eyed beans; it turned out very good, and outside of the seasoning involved it is simply pork and beans.

I recently made ham potato soup. My 9 year old daughter was skeptic. And now it's gone 4 days later. My wife doesn't cook so she has no room to complain

Curried clams with sausage

That's a bowl of goodness there! Never have tried the yellow eyed beans. Did not see them till after my last bean order. They look great!

Lol, we just get whatever the hell they wanna ship us, and I'm doing my best to clear out the freezer (pork).
