Thai red curry pot roast chicken

I found this recipe at Recipe Tin Eats: https://www.recipetineats.com/thai-red-curry-pot-roast-chicken/ It's super simple, but full of flavour nonetheless. The changes…

Thai Sticky Chicken Fingers

CHICKEN FINGERS! Chicken fingers. I always bought them frozen, why not try making them? I used this recipe: https://iowagirleats.com/thai-sticky-chicken-fingers/#recipe-card The changes I made here were replacing the rice wine vinegar with Chinkiang vinegar, panko with seasoned panko bread crumbs, and used powdered almonds instead of sliced almonds.

Sunday night chili with Madeira

You can make this chili any day or any time you want. I just tend to make it on Sundays to have leftovers to freeze (freezes well up to 3 months). You can also make it vegan without the ground beef or a ground beef substitute and the beef broth with veggie broth. 1 and…

Dutch baby. Dutch baby.

Today's title is paraphrasing Corky And The Juice Pigs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnQqOn20t84 Because I've always wanted to make a Dutch baby, but it looked like a soufflé (something I've attempted and failed as a cook), but I know it's not now. EITHER WAY, I made Dutch babies today for my kids thanks to my cast iron. It's…
