Recent Eats: +1 in Cooking

This is a new type of post for me. I've been cooking up a storm the past couple and here are the things I've made that I can fully endorse!

This from a blog I follow regularly. I subbed the ground beef with ground chicken and 2 baby bellas I chopped superfine (attempt at mimicking savoriness of beef). I also used jasmine rice- it was quite tasty. For the vegetarian version I'd use veg stock and a pound of chopped mushrooms, or sub in meatless grounds. These taste the best out of many I've tried.

She calls it grownup beefaroni lol


Fried catfish, Bacony Brussels, skillet potatoes, and Capered Tartar Sauce.

Verry fancy biz

 It was my first ever time frying catfish, and it turned out well. I used Crisco lol and do not own a thermometer so the oil temp was all guesswork. Was damn good guessing, let me tell you ha ha ha. This was literally the best meal I've made in a couple years.

And a grill pan lol


No-Alarm Tofu and Two Bean Chili. No alarms because of the Shrubs. Mine I gussied up with some Frank's. Mmmm. This was also quite tasty, and I am not generally a chili fan, unless it comes from a can and is on top of a hot dog heh. If I'd had any left over, I would've made "chilitos" which is what my mom did  when I was a kid and we were poor. Chili in a tortilla with cheese lol. Ah, memories.

Sooo healthy


Cheesy Potato soup. I've attempted to make cheesy potato or broccoli soups in the past, only to have them turn out grainy and have the cheese separate in tiny lumps. Apparently the trick is to make a bechamel and add it BEFORE you add the cheese! Wut??! Also tasty, but I overcooked the tatoes.

More like cream o' potato

Last but not least, a pretty pie for some pretty girl I know ;) She thought it was quite good.

 +1 charisma ;)
