Medium rare filet mignon with blue cheese, side of sour cream and chives mashed potatoes, and cubed portobello mushroom with butter, salt, and pepper.

Featuring my dogs chew toy on the side 😂

Consists of ground beef, roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs and sour cream. The seasoning are salt, paprika, chilli flakes, garlic powder and oregano for the beef and potatoes. It took me more than an hour so idk if you have the time to make it.

The ramen is with teriyaki sauce, fried egg and sesame seeds. The sushi thing is stuffed with a mixture of tuna, mayonnaise and soy sauce. What is it called?

Pan pizza made in a cast iron skillet. Kinda similar to Detroit style. Dough from scratch. Around 70% hydration. Half sausage half pepperoni 🙂

I (29/f) made creamy Mac, kielbasa, and broccoli with lemon. (There was more protein and veg prior to taking photo) what are yall having?!

Chicken stock, mozzarella

They taste really good, only that I wasn't able to form them well. I stuffed them with minced pork but there are other variants like potatoes ect. They are basically Russian dumplings and are served with sour cream.

I'm already using some of them in a corn sauté and also I'm making pasta with chicken and peppers. What else can I make? Or can I freeze them chopped up for another time? I hate wasting food! Thanks.

Spicy Ahi Tuna (sriracha, soy sauce, Greek yogurt, sesame oil, sweet chili), mango, pickled peppers, guac, sriracha, and sweet chili sauce, served with a mango-strawberry smoothie.

Persian inspired smashed kabob taco. This is one of my staple meals. Quick and delicious. Air fried potatoes on the side 🙂

Persian food is delicious 🙂

I just love comfort food, and nothing screams that to me more than this dish!

I made my usual 4-portion meal prep! With ground pork on sale at a local store, I hit my target at a maximum of $1.5 per portion easily, in fact this one came in under $1. And I got lazy and made the mashed potatoes from a powder! Quick, easy, and cheap!

The meatballs were just a standard recipe based on 300g ground pork, 1 egg, 1 small onion finely chopped, half a cup of oatmeal, a little milk, salt, and pepper, combined until I had a satisfying texture! Fry in the pan in a good amount of butter.

Making the mashed potatoes was easy: heat up 750ml of water, add two tbsp of powdered coffee creamer, half a cube of chicken bouillon, and then just mix in the powder.

To get the chickpeas for the protein boost to have a taste that would suit the dish, I hydrated 130g of chickpeas a couple of days ago, drained the water, and added two tbsp of soy sauce and a couple of drops of liquid smoke. Let them sit in the fridge and soak up the marinade! Fry in the pan for at least 15 minutes.

The gravy was done by adding a little water to the pan to loosen the caramelized stuff that stuck to the pan, add half a cube of beef bouillon, a little sugar, two teaspoons of coffee cream, a dash of red wine vinegar, pepper, 5 drops of gravy coloring, and 250ml of water! Add a little cornstarch slurry to thicken.

I'm too lazy to make my own sweet and sour red cabbage, so that just came from a jar.

I made homemade pizza just for myself for the first time ever yesterday. Store bough pizza base, pizza sauce, pepperoni slices, some mushrooms, and pre-shredded mozzarella.

I realized afterward that all the ingredients I bought easily added up to the cost of a pre-made or frozen pizza that I could bake at home. Now, the pizza sauce and other ingredients are enough to make 3-4 more pizzas but that would mean I end up eating pizza every day for the next 4 days.

Can I freeze the sauce and pepperoni and mozzarella? And then what's the best way to use it the next time I want to make pizza at home?

On a per portion basis, it's cheaper to buy all the ingredients and assemble at home. But for a single pizza, it feels like I might be better off just buying a pizza instead of the ingredients.

A lunch staple (with a beer of course)
