Sorry you're sick, I just got over a three day fever and am still out of it. (Hence why I'm posting on facebook while at work)

Last night I made a chicken soup too that turned out pretty good. I chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic, celery, and sauteed them. Blended them with an immersion blender and then added shredded chicken, chicken broth, and seasoned with cayenne, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

I garnished with cilantro and avocado. It turned out surprisingly good.

That SOUNDS good! It's sick-season, and it's the perfect weather for soups.

It's got bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions in it, along with the steak and beef gravy, served on top of brown rice.

Had an eggroll with it too.

That looks like it would be good on a sub roll. Almost looks like a cheesesteak. Speaking of which, I haven't had a cheesesteak at all, let alone a good one, since I moved from the east coast to the west coast. Next time I visit my family in PA I know what I'm requesting for dinner.

Come to think of it I did get a cheesesteak when I visited my family back in August. I ordered a dozen wings and a cheesesteak with everything at a local dive bar and it was great.

Anyone else love bar food? I know I've talked about bar food in here before, but I'm dieting so it's on my mind again...

Weird question. does anyone else's family make their turkey by wrapping it in a brown paper bag coated in peanut oil before they bake it?

haha, we’re still here! I have so many things to upload but have been busy :)

my family does not use a bag, grandma uses a pan specifically designed for roasting turkeys, and butter and oils and herbs.

Thawed out frozen green beans from the garden, and paired with chicken.

Breakfast!

Breakfast part 2!

Two breakfasts!

Yup! I love breakfast foods!

I also had this dinner one night of grilled chicken and tomato with garlic and onion sautéd all together and that was delicious as well.

We had breakfast for dinner last night. I'm usually terrible at making pancakes, but I finally figured it out. I was using too high of a heat before and I could never get them done just right. A little bit of patience and a lower heat and they turned out just perfect. That and some breakfast sausage.

I think my favorite breakfast is eggs, over easy or sunny side up, rye toast, scrapple, sausage, bacon, and hashbrowns.

Also, we've been watching this baking competition show on netflix. I'm usually not one for desserts, but this show has curved my appetite. The old me use to eat more of the savory food and if I didn't have room for dessert so be it. Now I'm leaning towards a mixture of both...

I often forget that this is something really only found in Pennsylvania. It's a Pennsylvania dutch food. The same people who brought us the apple dumpling. (Another food that I have to often explain to people who aren't from the east coast)

It doesn't sound great when described, but I think it's delicious. It's basically all the trimmings of pork that didn't get sold off as traditional cuts of pork.

Pork trimmings and corn bread mush. Usually fried so it's golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside and still soft and well... mushy.. on the inside. If I had to think of anything that it reminded me of it would have to be pork belly with a different texture.

Yes, that's the one. We've been watching an episode every night before bed.

It still looks like it turned out pretty good. I've never made an omelette before, but my partner has made some good ones in the past. I feel like I never keep the proper ingredients at home to make a delicious one so I'm usually just making scrambled eggs instead. If I'm going to a place to eat breakfast an omelette is a go to meal. I always rather the savory breakfast than pancakes or other sweet breakfast food.

I rediscovered that the best way to make scrambled eggs is to make them in the same pan that you're making bacon. I start the bacon in there first until it's the right texture, turn the heat down, and then toss the eggs in. Man, that bacon grease makes everything taste a lot better. My daughter doesn't like them that way because she doesn't like bacon. That means if I make eggs over the weekend I have to make 2 separate servings of them.
