What's cooking?

[Captain Awesome]

Thought this might drive some engagement. I have the feeling we have quite a few folks that enjoy a good meal and I'm sure quite a few like myself that really enjoy cooking and time in the kitchen

I'm sure our resident grill master Jake Sensi will be along at some point

Soooo...............what are you cooking? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, special occasion.........

Dinner tonight is something my girls call Hashbrown Crack

Frozen hash browns
Canned corn
Green chilies
Cream of mushroom soup
Shredded cheese

Pre cook the turkey and combine everything else except the shredded cheese in a crockpot low and slow. Add cheese right at the end

Season to taste

Last weekend I made a thick cream of ham & potato soup. The weekend before I made cheese sausage balls. The smoker is coming out soon, I need some fresh hickory chunks. I'm retiring real soon and plan on taking some culinary arts courses at the local college during the winter.

Out smoker gets a lot of use

I had cookies and chocolate and yogurt for breakfast. Regretting the yogurt. Should have gone with candy.

For dinner I brined a beef shoulder in pepperoncini overnight. It's getting a garlic olive oil coating and a dry rub of Italian seasoning before going on the green egg

Wife loves this. One of her favorites

Just had a smoked chicken and cheese sub on a homemade baguette with homemade dill pickles, tomato & lettuce. Plus a few squirts of olive oil and starfruit vinegar sauce. Put a smile on my face!

mmm, instant Farina (w/ brown sugar).

Tonight we're doing crab cakes (local fresh blue crab) and mushroom asparagus risotto

 

[RustyGold]

Breakfast:
Three Costco dogs...microwaved with shredded cheese. Topped with miracle whip light and ketchup. No buns, just fork...keep'n it classy.

Lunch/Dinner:
First course...
One handful whole natural almonds complimented with a can of low sodium V8 juice, with a liberal dose of ...... Bandito pepper sauce (shaken not stirred). Served with a mozzarella stick.
Second course...
One handful baby cut (not petit cut!) carrots complimented with a can of V8 Fusion Energy light Pomegranate Blueberry. Served with a mozzarella stick.
Desert...
Two bananas with a can of V8 Fusion Energy diet Strawberry Lemonade.

I think we are in different realities, Cap.

That lunch/dinner is what I have taken to just about every work night for 8+years.

My dad worked for General Motors for 47 years and my mom swore he took the same lunch everyday either a peanut butter or egg salad sandwich on wheat bread, homemade pickles or pickled beets, and sliced pepper jack cheese. That and about a gallon of Folgers coffee per day

If it works...why mess with it.

Edit: mmmmmmm.... pepper jack!

Now I want some V8

 

[RustyGold]

A full serving of fruits and veggies!

Spicy V8 is loaded with salt. Low Sodium V8 is about as bland as you get. So, I rotate through various enhancers (Tobacco, ...... Bandito, Tapatio, Cholula, etc) and end up with way less sodium and way more flavor.

I seriously don't know why they don't co-brand...I think both sides would see nothing but upside.

today is the smoothie for breakfast and bake potato with bacon for dinner

 

[RustyGold]

Great combo as both sound relatively healthy, but can be augmented to absolute decadence.
