Toffee bars. @jthingelstad made me do it.
Have homemade honey syrup, will try it with any cocktail: honey margaritas.

Mexican meatballs tonight were a hit. This is pre “rolling around in sauce.”
My first Enzoni - highly recommended. And I made killer pizza tonight. Win-win!
Gold Rush.
Kentucky Maid.
Bibimbap night!
Last Word
It was Detroit style night. I like it too much.
There’s homemade falafel under all of that green.
Sheet pan pancakes last night.
Recipes. Seriously. Tonight I picked up the knife for a “preparation 5 minutes” recipe. First ingredient: whole bulb of garlic (10-12 cloves), chopped. lol
🍽️ Spicy Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Krapow Gai)
This is my favorite Thai restaurant order and Chef John is probably my favorite YouTube chef. I made it last week using serrano peppers. While it was cooking, each person in the family started coughing in turn. Some of the kids were 20-30 feet away! We were all coughing for the last 5 minutes of cooking time. It was pretty spicy, but not unbearable like I thought it was going to be. We still gobbled it up.
The picture doesn’t do it a lot of justice.
🍽️ Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli
Could kind of eat this all night. Hope you like sausage! And oil+butter!
🍽️ Black Bean and Roasted Salsa Soup
Another out-of-the-park vegetarian option. Soup season!
🍽️ Street Cart Chicken & Yellow Rice
I’ve made this twice now, and it is the real deal. I make only one rice that is better. The marinade is well proportioned. The time it takes me to prepare everything is 50% again what is mentioned in the recipe. That’s a running theme, usually to the tune of taking twice as long to prep my ingredients.
The sauces are great. I don’t make them in the same proportion as the mains because my kids don’t really touch the sauces. I’ve had trouble nailing the consistency of the white sauce. The hot sauce has an “it’s time to invest in Big Cayenne” amount of cayenne pepper, and I wouldn’t sneeze at the amount of red flake in there either. I can’t bring myself to keeping pouring when making the red sauce.
But it’s all GOOD. You should make it your own!
🥘 Dilly Bean Stew with Cabbage and Frizzled Onions
So much flavor, so few ingredients! Also, homemade bread.

No regrets
Omuraisu - my favorite use of leftover rice. I’m not a ketchup and eggs person, but it’s required for this one. Sorry you had to run to work, Jesse!
Chicken fesenjan with saffron rice. #richandsilky
Pizza night tonight was in the Buffalo style. (Thin, cheese and sauce to the edges, 1lb of cheese per pizza.)
