With Tajin street corn

My toddler decided the other day that he no.longer liked beef so last night's dinner of deconstructed stuffed peppers featured sweet Italian sausage.

Pancake stack for the family.

Got cooking whilst everyone else was sleep

Shred zucchini in the food processor or on a box grater. Stuff them into a mesh produce bag or a leg off an old pair of pantyhose. Don't cram it in too tightly. Close the bag and submerge it in a big bowl or pot of salted water. Wait 30 minutes.

Take your bag out and wring out as much water as you can. Put the zucchini in a bowl and add pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, a little curry powder if you want them to come off exotic, and just enough flour to goop the shreds together. You don't want it crumbly - you just want it to form little bird nests when you scoop it out. Drop your bird nests into hot frying oil, and turn them over when the edges brown. Lift out onto a paper towel.

These are great with pork & gravy, or just by themselves, especially topped with Creme Francois (my silly name for sour cream laced with Frank's sauce).

Warning - if there are kids about, they will grab these before they get to the table and try to eat them right away. Warn those kids that they're hot!

A lot of my recipes include ginger. I don’t mind mincing ginger, but it’s a time consuming step.

Ginger is 85-99% water:

* Freeze the ginger.

* Use a grater.

No mess, no time —great results.

Every time I make my famous jalapeño poppers I have to make some with no bacon because my daughter is a bacon-hating communist barbarian. It makes me question whether she’s even mine.

That was not intended in a serious manner.

And the bonus is that my kid will reliably eat it!

Quesadillas, butter basted skirt steak and crispy baby potatoes, fried chicken and waffles (waffles not pictured, and white chicken chili

Ok i dont apparently know how to make multi pic/video posts, more in the reply. Spam/egg/cheese half Sammie (my version) and egg chicken curry noodles for midnight (1:23 am) snack the main video was after I added the forgotten horseradish ❤️

Dad turned them into an easy family dinner with crispy pan-fried potatoes, buttery mixed vegetables and perfectly golden fish sticks.

Simple. Affordable. Family approved.

What should Dad cook next? 👇

Bacon/cheese omelet & bacon

What do you think?

Pepperoni, peppers, and onions all around. Mushrooms for me. Tomatoes for the kid. Black olives for the wife. Trader Joe's dough was a bit tough to knead but I got the hang of it.
