damn, you’re right. Cake, pie, muffins, donutz. All breakfast foods.

My spouse has started up classes/teaching again so gone are the nights of complicated meals.

I had to throw something together really quickly last night. It actually turned out pretty well and made me look like I knew what I was doing.

I put my daughter in charge of the sauce, she really good at it, especially for a 5 year old. She put together a mixture of sesame oil, spicy sesame oil, and soy sauce. After tasting it and having me taste it as well she recommended a mixture of sriracha and brown sugar. She added those things, redid the taste test and it turned it really delicious.

I fried up some pineapple and salmon, soaking both in her sauce. And tossed on some rice and couscous. Pictured below was my daughters serving.

Mom came home as soon as it was finished and she forced us to add some vegetables to it. (Not pictured)

This looks delicious and I lol'd!

Always great with chicken and/or noodles!

Chicken Alfredo with a french garlic bread roll! I chopped up garlic, used garlic seasoning and mozzarella cheese for the bread topping. It was kind of spicy, yet delicious.

rose all day

dinner was chili with Skyline @ZJ oyster crackers, + corn bread

We went to hotpot over the weekend. I didn't remember to take a picture of the food, but here is a generic picture from the restaurants website that almost matches our order.

Wow, that's impressive!

I baked chicken breast the other night and it was delicious. I used oil, chili powder, onion, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper. Coated both sides of the chicken and baked at 450 degrees for 25 minutes. Served with steak fries.

I've only ever made good chicken once. We seasoned and barbecued it, put it in the oven for a bit. (Just because my spouse is terrified that chicken may come out raw in the middle) Then we smoked it on the charcoal grill and it turned out awesome.

Usually my chicken turns out dry and flavorless, but not that time.

We are going to make chicken wings and nachos for the superbowl this weekend. We are also ordering out pizza tonight for movie night. You can say that I'm pretty excited for the next couple days of food to say the least.

Mmm, what kind of wings are you making for the Superbowl? We're doing chili, cornbread, chips and dips, booze and dessert. All the staple football foods in my family.

We are going to do a group plain with dipping sauces, franks hot sauce, ranch, etc...

Then we are going to do a couple of dry rubs ones as well. We were thinking garlic ,parmesan and old bay, but I'm open for suggestions on other flavors.

Honey BBQ is my personal preference, but I like the idea of old Bay. Let me know how they turn out! Post pics!

Abort mission!

They didn't turn out too well. After two beers they tasted alright, but the pizza rolls and nachos were my go to for the rest of the night.

obsessing over easy-to-make sheetpan meals lately. Chicken breasts with honey, garlic, onion, pepper, petite potatoes and green beans. The chicken was so delicious and moist.

Take out the green beans and I'd eat the fuck outta that.

I'm about to cook boiled green beans in half an hour. If anyone is online @me when you post if you have tips before then.

See comments below.

The only way I've found to enjoy green beans to to put them in the oven with garlic, butter, and Parmesan. We eat them a lot just from a steam-able microwave bag, but whenever we get fresh ones or canned ones from somewhere we try to make them in the oven instead.

It's a common meal for us to make potatoes, green beans, and pork chops in the oven just like Alias did though.

Marinading deer steaks for dinner tonight (this was before I shook it all up, making sure it was evenly coated). Gonna fry potatoes and make some Cole slaw also.

Nothing better than some rice with fava beans and a nice chianti.

For some reason this picture made me think of the commercial where the sushi worker is out and they have some random guy preparing the food. "This fish is raw...."

I haven't had deer steak quite awhile. A few years ago one of my employees would bring back deer jerky and bologna during hunting season. I miss that stuff with a passion.

I would start with pasta and sauce. There's not much you can mess up with and you can work in meatballs, sausage, and other things like chicken parmesan.

That or bacon and eggs. You can do a ton of fancy stuff with eggs and you'll discover a lot of flavors when adding different stuff to them. Onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc... I had find a great combination of those things where my daughter asked me to make her those eggs every weekend becaude she thought they were so good.

To be honest if theres a recipe to follow you can probably make almost anything beginner or not.

Like Fro said, spaghetti & pasta is easy, quick, and delicious and there's a ton of variations.

Spaghetti and sauce

Spaghetti and sauce and meatballs

Spaghetti and sauce and beef

Spaghetti and sauce and venison

Spaghetti and sauce and sausage

Fettucine noodles and Alfredo sauce

Fettucine noodles and Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken

Fettucine noodles and Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken and grilled brocolli

Aside from pasta:

Subs (toast sub buns), can melt cheese/meat, add toppings like lettuce, tomato, etc after toasting

Pancakes

Stir fry; beef tips, peppers, noodles if you desire

Make a box of Mac and cheese and add some beef; homemade hamburger helper!

Those are just a few I can think of right away!

Milk chocolate and white chocolate covered pretzels sticks with sprinkles. These were delicious! Perfect blend of sweet and salty and super easy to make.

Gimme

Weird thing, but try it sometime if you haven't...

Chew up some hard pretzels and while it's still in your mouth drink some chocolate milk. It has a nice sweet and salty combo.

😂😂 That sounds good and interesting!

i went through a baking phase for a few weeks. French vanilla cupcakes with pink buttercream frosting. They were so large and moist, a replica of cupcakes I made last month.

Made General Tso Chicken from scratch using chicken thighs.
