#and breakfast made out of dinner ingredients will be so tasty!!

[baked-bread]

i rarely have the energy nowadays to make myself nice meals, but today i feel that i've discovered the true potential of the two-layered bento..... i am able to cram so many nutrients into this little box. there is no pressure to cram it all into a rice dish, i can just put last night's salad and some berries on the top layer. i feel like I’m on my way to become like a husband making work lunch for his second, cooler husband..... i have not fully utilized the potential of this container until now but it is so cool. i feel like I’m gonna end up buying those little cupcake liners the internet people do to separate things now (lol)

[i-actually-post-stuff]

In celebration of Spones day I remembered that I never posted the written submission for the @sponeszine after the waiting period was over! I'll have more to post today for Spones day! Something I that I actually made for the day 😂

For now, the unedited version of my zine entry:

A03 Link

“Now, what's this, Spock? Cookin’, or biological warfare?” McCoy eyed Spock's potluck contribution; a mixture of colorful unfamiliar baked vegetables, piping in the bath of sauce and spices, all served in complement with a steamed Vulcan grain that he recognized but didn't remember the name of. But, the spice from the stuff was practically overpowering without him even eating it. It made his eyes water like getting too close to the smoke from a fire. 

In all honesty, it seemed exciting. McCoy wasn't a loather of spice. He liked spicy chili, hot pot, jerk chicken, spiced rum; all kinds of tasty things that’d make his mouth burn. It wasn't that he disliked the idea of trying the dish at all; it was that he wanted Spock to tell him about it, and with Spock, an insult always worked better than a request.

“If I was attempting biological warfare, Doctor, I would have not chosen such an obvious method as poisoning you via food.” Spock paused to consider McCoy’s initial jab. “I am lucky to have found Vulcan ingredients in such abundance in the market. All of the vegetables and spices are Vulcan in origin, and the grain is myropses, which has been grown on Vulcan since the early days of space travel, when it was first imported.” he knew McCoy’s game at this point, it seemed, and he looked like he was taking an un-Vulcan-like pride in his recreation of the dish. “I ruminated on what to prepare for quite a long time yesterday evening.” 

McCoy leaned in a bit to really admire his work while he listened. It did look absolutely mouthwatering.

“You are unaware of this; Vulcan cuisine exists on what you would call two ends of a spectrum; unflavored meals focused on texture and, in contrast, meals that take full advantage of the spices available on Vulcan.” the corners of his mouth quirked up—subtly, but certainly fiendishly. “I only used a small fraction of the traditional spices for this dish. Perhaps I should have made a tasteless dish, in order to suit your palette more appropriately,” he insulted. 

McCoy resisted a simple; bite me. “Maybe I should’a made some spicy harissa aubergine pie. Had you put those Vulcan taste buds to the test,” he genuinely considered. “Lucky for your Vulcan ego, I just made some sweet peach pies.”

“Then, perhaps I'll show you the fault in your thinking that any Human spice would adequately phase my palate on another day,  doctor.”

“You’d-”

He was promptly cut off by Jim awkwardly ringing the little dinner-bell he'd replicated. The entire potluck crowd straightened up and looked to the captain. 

It was truly a wonderful sight laid out on the several large tables in front of them. The Enterprise cultural exchange potluck was many a crewmember's favorite time of year, including McCoy’s. There were so many tantalizing looking breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and desserts scattered across the table, and even more odd looking ones. Jim had been wise enough this year to separate the dishes by smell, after the absolute fiasco of smells from the last year's contributions. It certainly made where he was standing all the more dangerous for his sinuses. But, no one would be skipping over his pie sitting on the opposite table because of the magma incarnate Spock had brought along.

“Everyone, welcome, to the annual Enterprise potluck. Today we celebrate, where we came from, the people, we surround ourselves with and choose to care for now, and, the way that our strength is in what each, individual, one of us, brings to the table—because our differences are the exact thing that make, wonderful times like this, possible. I,, remember all those complaints last year about the length of my speech, and all I have to say, is, shame on you all for not enjoying the only thing I can bring to this table. You, don't, want my cooking here,” he got a light chuckle from the crowd, “and, dig in.” He stepped down from his spot at the head of the intersection of tables as everyone rushed for their plates. 

McCoy really did try to seem like he wasn't in a hurry to taste test Spock's special Vulcan dish that he'd so considerately made palatable for human consumption, but it was the third thing that he'd put on his first plate, and Spock definitely took notice, looking at him from across the table. And McCoy took note of that look, and the peach pie slice on Spock's dessert plate. That eased him. He'd actually been fairly concerned that Spock wouldn't like what he brought to the table this year; Vulcans weren't exactly known for being avid lovers of dessert. And the two years before, he hadn't gotten to participate. 

As he made his way to Jim's side at one of the sitting tables, he found himself troubled with the idea of Spock eating his pie. He knew he'd put a lot of effort into making it just right, and he knew that it was probably one of the best damn things at the entire potluck. But it was also the first time Spock was going to try his cooking. What are you sweating for, McCoy? It doesn't matter what Spock thinks. Get it together. He couldn't fathom why Spock's judgment on the matter seemed to get him so anxious.

Spock sat on the other side of Jim. McCoy eyed up his plates. Despite the many other wonderfully colorful dishes Spock had decided to sample, he couldn't help but lock his eyes on his own slice of pie on that dessert plate. He briefly considered causing a scene; doing something, anything, to get rid of that slice on Spock's plate. He won the battle with himself and forced himself to calm down, of course, but the whole thing just made him feel silly. 

He took a deep breath, double checked to make sure he had his little shot glass of milk, and took a bite of Spock's cooking. 

It was incredible.

The vegetables were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The perfect texture, easy to chew and easy to savor. As his teeth bit through them, the juice went straight to his taste buds, sweet and sour. But the method of cooking added something else; a kind of char, almost like it had been grilled; or, maybe that was one of the spices. That's when the first wave of spice hit. Whatever it was, it was intense, prickling at his tongue and down his throat, then right up into the sinuses. It was a good burn, like the first time he tried Thai food. The spice playing in harmony with all those flavors, pairing so perfectly with the plain, grounding taste of the grain, and just begging to be chased with a nice smooth drink. Then the second wave hit, and he sniffled a little as his nose started running. He held a napkin over his nose and mouth and let it run for a second, not wanting to give away that the third wave, the aftertaste, was making his eyes burn. He shut them. 

There was no doubt. Spock was a damn good cook.

He subtly wiped his nose and took half his shot of milk, wishing that he had gotten a full glass and didn't have to save the other half for what was left of it… and also wishing that he had a bigger stomach, to go back and get more without sacrificing the capacity to try all the rest of the food he’d piled on his plates. He cleared his throat, the remnants of the spices tickling where the milk hadn't entirely soothed.

Then, he subtly looked over to Spock. 

Spock was sitting there, looking as though he hadn't even started eating, like something was on his mind; not something troubling him, more so that he was ruminating on something he found important. He knew the man, after all—he knew what the look on his face was. The Vulcan was definitely thinking about something very important to him. So important that he hadn't touched anything on his plates—Leonard did a double take.

Spock had touched one thing on one of his plates. McCoy's slice of pie, which was completely gone. Briefly, he was flattered, before realizing all of the different things that that could mean. 

Maybe Spock hated it. Maybe it’d put him off eating all together. Or maybe he hadn't checked the little ingredient card in front of it closely enough, and it had something he couldn't eat, and now he was considering the validity of calling the whole thing off for himself and going back up to the ship to pretend that he wasn't having a reaction to it. Or, maybe he was trying to think of the best possible insult to grant him after the meal. Well, two can play at that, Spock! Yours is—well, it was perfect. It was just great; he couldn't think of a bad thing to say that wasn't just insulting himself for not having a Vulcan tolerance. 

Maybe Spock was thinking the same thing. Well, not exactly the same thing. 

Maybe Spock was thinking that he wished he'd tried his cooking sooner. Maybe, just like McCoy was, he was wishing that they’d just cooked for each other so they didn't have to worry about leaving out all the other wonderful things there were to eat on their plates. 

No, not Spock. The man doesn't even eat breakfast. He only ever eats what he needs to survive unless it's in the name of being diplomatic. It seemed inconceivable that the Vulcan could be thinking of something so worldly as having another bite of something delicious. 

“Since when are you a slow eater, Bones?” Jim remarked, nudging his shoulder knowingly. 

“It's called pacing yourself, Jim. Good for big meals like this. ‘N I'll recommend it to you if you don't slow down.” he gestured to Jim's half finished plate. “You even chewing? You're gonna give yourself a stomach ache.”

Jim huffed with a bit of amusement, both of them knowing that McCoy was just crabby about being caught staring at Spock and wondering what he thought of his food.

Leonard took a bite of something else on the plate to avoid more ridicule, listening as Jim turned to Spock and said, “not hungry, Spock?” 

Whatever game he was playing. 

Sure, everything at the potluck that McCoy had put on his plate tasted incredible. There wasn't a single thing he regretted, even the things that squirmed under his fork—a bit like octopus with soy sauce, he considered, and he knew better than to be put off—but nothing stuck in his head quite like Spock's silly little spicy vegetable dish. He was embarrassed, finding his thoughts drifting over and over again to a hypothetical situation of him walking up to Spock and asking about the recipe.

On one hand, it felt a whole lot like praising the enemy. The little game that they played that neither of them were supposed to really win didn't work that way. Sure, the occasional compliment on the other's competency slipped out on occasion. But asking the man to make him dinner was a whole ‘nother thing. It was so… domestic. And the thought of sitting down in one of their quarters over a Vulcan meal that Spock had put so much time and effort into preparing seemed a bit too much like him asking Spock on a date for his comfort. Although, it didn't sound like a bad date. It sounded like a very good date. In fact, it sounded like the best possible date with Spock he could think of in that moment.

In that train of thought, he considered that it might even be a bit of a show of strength on his part; a brag that he was able to handle it. One of his ways of teasing him that was more of a compliment, despite its disguise as a boast.

He thought back and forth on it until just about everyone at their table had finished everything on their plates. Not that he noticed until Spock intruded behind him.

“Doctor.” 

He looked back over his shoulder at Spock, playing with the last thing on his plate with his fork. “Spock,” he acknowledged.

“We will be in orbit of this planet for 57 more of your Earth hours. I intend to acknowledge your challenge. You will inform me of what time would work best for you. Then, we will meet and you will prepare a dish for me that you believe would adequately test my Vulcan taste buds.”

He was stunned for a moment, of course. Spock had beat him to it. He practically did everything but schedule the date. But McCoy was too quick a thinker to sit there with his mouth hanging open about it. “All right, Spock. Only if you take me to the market and show off your fancy Vulcan veggies and spices.” He wouldn't let Spock be in charge of the whole situation without a fight.

“Acceptable,” Spock immediately acknowledged, almost as if he would accept any condition.

“And, one more thing.” McCoy pushed his luck.

“Yes?” Spock shifted uncomfortably, as if he was worried- if McCoy didn't know better than to think such a thing about a distinguished Vulcan like Spock. 

“You're gonna make this for me again the night after we leave orbit.”

A housewifes duty

Y. Amane

"Your so soft, darling.."

What are the odds for you to be married to your high school sweetheart aye? None, you two just loved each other that much that neither of you could bear to see the other with someone else other than them.

Amane proposed to you in the most romantic and cutest way possible. Not only are you married to him but he treats you as if your relationship with him as only been starting for a few days.

What a lucky gal

He worked as a science teacher while you were an archeaologist. You two didn't want children yet as you both want the leisure of being alone at the moment

It was midnight, and Amane was about to pull in the driveway so you started making dinner right away, You decided on making his favorite as he has been working very hard lately, so you prep all the ingredients and got to work

You put on an apron and hairpinned your hair to the side with the star clips Amane got for you and started making dinner

Not alot of time passed by you could hear Amane pulling into the driveway, you didn't know why but you got all smiles and giddy just by hearing his car park in. You took of your apron and went to the front to greet him.

Amane opened the door and took of his shoes sighing a sigh of relief of being back home. "I'm home lo-" Before he could have a chance to finish his sentence you hugged him tight making him crack a smile "Well.. I didn't know you missed me this much~"

He kissed your forehead as his lanky yet strong arms wrap around your waist pulling you closer making you wrap your arms around his neck. "I missed you so much.." He says placing his forehead on yours.

"Mmm.. Amane.. You saw me when we woke up, had breakfast.. showered and even video called me while teaching a class.." He grumbled "That isn't enoougghh.." He hid his face on your neck making you giggle

"Come on, I'm making dinner at the moment" His head perked up, he absolutely LOVED your cooking.

"Oh? What are you making for tonight?" He followed you into the kitchen as the strong aroma of Shogayaki. "That smells amazing dear" He kissed your cheek "I'm just gonna go take a shower okay?"

"Alriightt~" You replied, as you heard him walk up the stairs, you took out the donuts from the fridge, you wanted to surprise him with these

You set the table and heard him coming down the stairs. "Ehh.. I wanted to help you set up the table.." Amane pouted as he hugged you from behind taking the plate of food from your hands "Its alright Amane, come sit down lets eat~"

Amane sat down next to you as he drooled over the food you made "Waahh~ my wife makes such amazing looking food~" He took some Shogayaki and ate it and almost immediately went soft "And make tasty food too.. How did I get so lucky with you.."

You blushed, I mean yeah you two have been married for awhile but you can't help butblush everytime he says that. "Really? if you love my cooking that much I have something else"

"Oh? what is it?" He placed down his chopsticks, you stood up and went to the kitchen and grabbed your homemade doughnuts. As you went back his eyes got so excited when he saw a plate full of donuts "You made doughnuts?!" He grabbed one and ate it, its like he entered heaven when he tasted your homemade doughnuts

You giggled at his reaction kissing his cheek "Mhm, you have been working alot lately and I wanted to treat you~" You hugged him as he continued to eat the doughnuts you made.

"As always, these taste amazing love" He held your chin as he gave you a soft kiss on the lips "Thank you.." You closed your eyes as he continued to peck your lips making your lips curl into a smile.

After a while, you two finished dinner and were talking about each others days when your phone buzzed. You grabbed it and leaned your head on Amanes shoulder. "Nene-chan tagged us in a post Amane"

He looked over at your phone as you opened it. "OH MY GOD?? She's pregnant Amane!!"

"Wow Kou really has something going now does he—"

You playfully smacked his shoulders as he laughed "Stop being perverted and look at her ultrasound, its a baby girl!" Amane gently grabbed your phone from you as he looked thru the photos "Harue is gonna be very happy, he's finally gonna become an older brother" He chuckled

The more Amane scrolled thru the baby photos Yashiro took, you noticed from the corner of your eyes he felt a little.. Sad

Remember when I said that both of you didn't want any kids yet? well, you were the one who didn't want kids yet. The thought of going into labor scares you, not only that your scared of not being a good mother to your child.

After putting some thought into it.

You were ready. You were ready to finally start a family with Amane, I mean you would love to see a mini version of him running around the house hehe

You placed down your chopsticks and hugged his arm "Ne.. Amane.."

"Yes, darling?" He placed your phone back on the table

"I'm ready."

"Ready for what?" You rolled your eyes as you stayed silent.

After forcing a few braincells to connect he finally understood what you meant. "L-love.. Are you sure? I don't want you to feel pressured into doing this.. I can always wait.."

"Amane Yugi.. I want to start a family with you.." Amane's heart started beating fast, he kissed your forehead and held your face in his hand. "Are you sure?.." You nodded as you leaned into his touch "Yes Amane, I'm sure.."

He couldn't help but smile, he stood up and carried you into his arms "Is that so~ well, I promise to take really good care of you.. Okay?" You wrapped your arms around his neck as he carried you to your shared room.

And the magic happened, the 'magic' scene is relied by your imagination.

But, your wishes did come true, you finally witnessed a mini Amane running around the house, you couldn't be more happier.

Being able to start a family with him, was like a dream come true.

this is my apology post 😘

He always talks about her cooking to the crew and Kidd is actually taken back by his sudden need to not eat pasta all the damn time.

National Buttermilk Biscuit Day 

Bake up a storm with buttermilk biscuits! Indulge in their fluffiness and savor their buttery flavor. From breakfast to dinner, these delicious treats are perfect any time of the day. Get ready for a biscuit feast!

For many households in the southern United States, a Sunday dinner simply wouldn’t be complete without the delicious addition of a plate full of flaky, piping hot, buttermilk biscuits.

Eaten as a side dish with a pile of fried chicken or served under a ladle full of delicious country gravy, buttermilk biscuits are a comfort food that is worth celebrating. And National Buttermilk Biscuit Day is here to do just that!

History of National Buttermilk Biscuit Day

Biscuits weren’t always as flaky and delicious as they are today. In fact, the buttermilk biscuits that are known to be part of southern cooking are a fairly modern invention. Originally, the purpose of early versions of biscuits was to make them last a long time on journeys. Made particularly to be used by sailors, soldiers and other travelers, biscuits were baked twice to an extra hard consistency, removing much of the moisture.

Those dense, flat ancestors of the biscuit were a rudimentary version of today’s buttermilk biscuit. The invention of baking soda as a leavening agent for quick breads did much to improve the way that biscuits were made.

In addition, the use of buttermilk, which contains important fats and acids, works with the baking soda to help the dough rise. This combination allows buttermilk biscuits to enjoy their beloved consistency that is tall and fluffy — and delicious.

National Buttermilk Biscuit Day offers a delightful opportunity for lovers of biscuits to show love and appreciation for this little round treat that offers so much joy!

National Buttermilk Biscuit Day Timeline

Late 1700s Biscuits are hard and functional

Twice-baked and flat, these hard and dry biscuits are used by soldiers and sailors. 

1860s Baking soda is produced industrially

This critical ingredient that acts as a leavening agent in buttermilk biscuits makes its way into homes. 

1875 Biscuit cutter is patented

Alexander P. Ashbourne, an inventor who was originally born into slavery, patents the biscuit cutter. 

Late 1800s Biscuits and Gravy makes an appearance

Likely originating in southern Appalachia, this decidedly southern home cooking dish, Biscuits and Gravy, makes its way onto breakfast plates. 

1975 First Biscuitville restaurant opens

After success with buttermilk biscuits at his Pizzaville restaurant, owner Maurice decides to open a Biscuitville location in Virginia. 

How to Celebrate National Buttermilk Biscuit Day

Not sure what to do in celebration of this day when the buttermilk biscuit is the star? Here are some ideas to get started with activities in observance of National Buttermilk Biscuit Day:

Enjoy Eating Buttermilk Biscuits

Have a delightful time celebrating this day by heading out to a restaurant that serves buttermilk biscuits and order up a few. In fact, don’t forget to mention to the staff that it is National Buttermilk Biscuit Day and perhaps they’ll have a discount or coupon available in honor of this special day.

Restaurants like Cracker Barrel, Bojangles, Church’s and Popeyes offer tasty buttermilk biscuits. And, of course, Biscuitville and Biscuit World are two restaurant chains in the southeastern US that are so focused on biscuits that it’s in their name!

Try Making Buttermilk Biscuits at Home

Whether living in a place where there is limited access to restaurants that serve buttermilk biscuits, or a culinary challenge simply sounds fun, try making these delicious treats at home!

The process of making buttermilk biscuits from scratch is actually not too difficult and a basic recipe only really requires a few ingredients. The basics include flour, baking soda, baking powder, cold butter, and a bit of sugar (if preferred). And, of course, there’s the buttermilk!

Cut the butter into the dry ingredients and mix with the buttermilk, then roll the dough out with a rolling pin through a process of folding and rolling several times to create layers. Cut into rounds, bake, and share!

Pro Tip: One of the key factors that impacts the successful results of buttermilk biscuits is making sure the butter and the buttermilk are cold. In fact, placing the butter in the freezer for a bit ahead of time is a great hack.

Enjoy a Variety of Buttermilk Biscuit Toppings

A warm buttermilk biscuit is certainly complex enough to be enjoyed simply with a topping of a pat of butter. However, it’s also possible to try a few other creative ways to enjoy this delicious treat in honor of National Buttermilk Biscuit Day. Check out some of these ways to take buttermilk biscuits to the next level:

A Dollop of Jam. Choose a basic jam like strawberry or raspberry, or get a bit more creative by eating that buttermilk biscuit spread with fig jam or rhubarb orange jam.

Cinnamon Honey Butter. This delicious topping takes buttermilk biscuits and adds just enough sweetness. Cinnamon honey butter can be purchased or easily made at home.

Country Gravy. This white flour and milk-based gravy, typically made with a pork breakfast sausage, turns a buttermilk biscuit into a hearty breakfast.

Fried Chicken. Add a delicious filling to the middle of that biscuit by frying up some breaded chicken tenders and adding a spoon of honey.

Share Some Buttermilk National Biscuit Day Love

Find some creative ways to celebrate National Buttermilk Biscuit Day by creating some hype at work or in a friend group. Make up some buttermilk biscuits and take them into the office to share. Take a friend out for breakfast or lunch at a biscuit restaurant in honor of the day. Or make an adventure out of it and invite some friends or coworkers to participate in a buttermilk biscuit bake off!

Get Creative with Buttermilk Biscuit Recipes

Buttermilk biscuit recipes can be the basis for all sorts of creative opportunities for adding unique flavors and changing things up a bit. Whether sweet or savory, try out some of these yummy ideas:

Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits. This type of recipe has been made famous by the American restaurant, Red Lobster, and there they are called Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Include shredded cheddar cheese and some spices into a normal drop biscuit recipe. Add jalapenos for a kicky version!

Pumpkin Buttermilk Biscuits. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the fall to be able to enjoy all things pumpkin! This alteration takes a standard buttermilk biscuit recipe and adds canned pumpkin as well as spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve with honey butter. (A similar version can be made with sweet potato.)

Strawberry Shortcake with Biscuits. Make this delightful summer-y treat with fresh strawberries and cream, but instead of using shortcakes or sponge cakes, use some buttermilk biscuits.

Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Biscuits. Using fresh or freeze dried blueberries, this delicious recipe also includes lemon zest for a unique flavor. When the biscuits are cool, make a lemon juice and powdered sugar glaze to drizzle over the top. Yum!

Homecooking [Oct ed]

What’s up everybody?!

Slightly more homecooking content in this month’s post. .. as we transition to fall (& winter), noodle soups will be occupying more space in these posts xD

Udon noodles with chicken breast & napa cabbage. Used Knorr chicken broth as soup base.

Ddeok-guk, which is Korean (flat) rice cake soup. I added some dumplings & baby bokchoy in.

Sujebi + chayote in leftover chicken soup. .. & hard-boiled egg. This was my breakfast post-night shift.

Sujebi dish #2 . .. This one in fish cake broth + zucchini. Also very light, but very tasty! 

Sujebi dish #3 . .. I call this the “leftover hot pot special”. I don’t know about you, but when we have hot pot, we always over-prepare foods, so there’s always leftover defrosted proteins & seafood, as well as veggies. The next day, we either have another hot pot or we use the leftovers & throw it all in a pot to make a ‘soup’. This sujebi was made with the soup so it contains: chicken, frozen seafoods, napa cabbage, & some fish balls/tofu. I usually do this with my fav thick rice noodles but I had an opened bag of sujebi, so I used sujebi. Any noodle works.

Sujebi #4 . .. lol bcos I have to use up my sujebi.

Cucumber + egg stir-fry

Leftover yookgaejang with thick rice noodles. AHHH SO GOOD!!!!

This doesn’t look pleasing but I swear it was good! At the beginning of the month, my mom had prepared (ie: de-boned) chicken drumsticks, where she separated the bone from the meat but kept the meat ‘together’ in one whole piece as she deboned. We had plans to use the portable BBQ outside for the chicken thigh fillets; however plans changed. .. we didn’t do that. Instead, I used the chicken fillet pieces to make fried chicken ^^ I didn’t bother cutting the pieces into smaller pieces so that’s why they’re in such large chunks haha

Cheongguk-jang soup. Cheongguk-jang is an extra fermented soybean soup. It’s more savoury & has a greater depth of flavour profile compared to the regular soybean soup (the doenjang). As I’ve mentioned in the past, after trying this since. .. 2yrs ago, I now can’t really go back to doenjang anymore. That almost seems too bland to me. Cheongguk-jang typically includes the common ingredients like onion, zucchini, pork, tofu. .. I skipped the meats & just used zucchini, onion, & napa cabbage. The soup turned out very well!

I fried pork cutlet for the first time. I’ve fried chicken many times but not pork cutlet. I left it frying for soooo long bcos I was scared the pork wouldn’t be cooked thoroughly haha the sauce on the side is just a mix of bbq sauce with ketchup.

*that ripped off part was the 30% off sticker :P

This was a very interesting dip. .. it was heavily garlicky & a little spicy. I didn’t get much “Mexican spice” out of it, which was slightly disappointing but I still was ok with it.

I had the dip around for literally dayyyyyyyysss. It’s quite heavy & salty. It doesn’t really go with anything else I eat normally. So I used it as a pasta sauce. It looks more yellow than it really is IRL. The photo makes it look like that Kraft Dinner ‘fake’ cheese colour but it’s really not! I cooked this late at night for lunch the next day so the lighting is not great. It was alright. Made good use of the dip.

Random Korean snacks I still have lying around my house. .. expired, but still tasty!

I was munching on the above snack & reading a webtoon called MONEY GAME for about 10 days in October. You guys should read it. The length isn’t too long. I found some parts lagged a little bit, but overall, I really enjoyed the series. It’s surprising to me that it was released Squid Game. They shall similar themes - namely a group of ppl in a closed setting interacting with each other, & they play a “money game” for the grand prize.

This is a cheaper way of having naengmyeon - buy the noodles & broth separately instead of the kit! Hmart had 2 types of broth. I’ll try the other one next time, but this beef-based broth was delicious. I found 1 soup serving for 1 noodle serving a bit off, as in there was more soup. In the future, I’ll likely use 1.5 noodles for 1 soup. I haven’t figured it out yet... The noodles are individual ‘servings’ but they’re not individually wrapped so I separated the 10 servings & put them into ziploc bags myself (& froze them).

PLAIN CHEESE RAMYEON~

Another ramyeon I ate this month bcos that’s my quota lol Used up leftover hot pot materials.

Imitation flat bread using naan. Toppings: corned beef, cherry tomatoes, Babybels, & garlic seasoning. This was gooooood!

That is it~

Sorry for the slightly late post.. . been busy lately. I’ve been watching badminton & gahhhhh Short Track 22/23 season has officially started with the 1st stop in Montreal this past wknd. Super exciting stuff!!! Salt Lake City in a few days :D

PS: I’m sad Choi Min Jung didn’t get gold. .. Same with Lee June Seo =(  Hopefully in Salt Lake City!

Breakfast Easy RV Meal Ideas Breakfast wraps are a great option for camping trips as they require minimal effort and can be packed with whatever ingredients you prefer.

Quiches

Tonight I made mini quiches, crustless mini quiches specifically, for dinner. I forgot to take pictures but they turned out really nice. This made the perfect amount for three people for dinner.

Ingredients

6 extra large eggs (it's the size I buy)

1 carrot (medium size)

1 zucchini (medium size)

Pinch salt

200g approx bacon, diced (don't trim the fat)

2 tablespoons crushed garlic

Approx 1/2 cup grated cheddar (I use Tasty)

Method

Preheat oven to 190 Celsius.

Put bacon in pan on low heat, you want the fat to render out, when it is rendered add the garlic and cook til preferred amount of browning/crispy. I don't crisp mine up for quiches but I like a little bit of colour. Let it cool a little.

Whilst the bacon is cooking, in a large mixing bowl grate the carrot and zucchini (I prefer the large grating size for this, not the fine grater). Add the pinch of salt and mix. Let sit whilst bacon cooks.

Add bacon and garlic (with the rendered fat) , eggs, and cheese to the vegetables. Beat with spoon until well combined.

Spoon into muffin tray, this made 12 regular muffins exactly, if tray is not non stick or silicone lightly grease before filling. Extra cheese can be added on top if you wish.

Bake for approx 20 minutes, check with fork that egg is cooked. Take out and serve hot, it can also be eaten cold.

Notes

Other vegetables that can be used are: grated pumpkin, diced tomatoes (deseeded), diced capsicum, corn kernals, sauteed diced onion, or sauteed diced mushrooms. For this amount of eggs you use about 2-3 cups of vegetables. Be aware that higher moisture content will affect the texture of the quiches.

I leave in the rendered bacon fat for flavour but you can just not put it in. The moisture from the vegetables means you don't need milk, so if you omit the cheese they are dairy free.

Unlike other crustless quiches I don't use flour, I don't see the point, the egg sets fine and while it might not brown the whole way around I usually end up with a golden top and bottom. Fiddling with a crust and getting it to cook properly is just annoying.

These refrigerate, freeze, and reheat well. I've used mini muffin trays before, frozen them in batches of 2-4 a bag, perfect size for breakfast or morning tea for one. They defrost very quickly and can be eaten cold or reheated. If you make them smaller or larger just adjust the cooking time.

Delicious and Nutritious Meals for the Whole Family

Introduction

When it comes to feeding your family, you want to ensure that each meal is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients. After all, a well-balanced diet is crucial for everyone's health and well-being. But finding recipes that are both tasty and nutritious can sometimes feel like a daunting task. Fear not, for we have gathered some tried and tested meal ideas that are sure to please even the pickiest eaters in your family. So, let's dive in and discover some mouthwatering dishes that will have everyone asking for seconds!

1: Breakfast Bonanza

Mornings can be hectic, especially when you have a family to feed and get ready for the day. But starting the day off with a nutritious breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. One family-favorite breakfast idea is a hearty vegetable omelet. Begin by whisking together eggs, a splash of milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. In a separate pan, sauté a medley of colorful veggies such as bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. Once cooked, pour the egg mixture over the veggies and cook until the eggs are set. Top it off with a sprinkle of cheese, and you have a protein-packed breakfast that will keep you satisfied until lunchtime.

If your family prefers something sweeter in the morning, try making a batch of fluffy whole wheat pancakes. In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and a touch of sweetness with some honey or maple syrup. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and a bit of melted butter. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Cook the pancakes on a hot griddle until golden brown. Serve with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey for a delicious and nutritious start to the day.

For those busy mornings when time is of the essence, a make-ahead breakfast casserole can be a lifesaver. Prepare it the night before by layering whole wheat bread, cooked sausage or bacon, and a mixture of beaten eggs and milk in a baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply pop it in the oven and bake until golden and bubbly. This convenient and nutritious dish will have your family excited to jump out of bed and enjoy a hearty breakfast together.

2: Luscious Lunch Ideas

Lunchtime can often feel like a rushed affair, especially during busy weekdays. But that doesn't mean you have to compromise on flavor or nutrition. One quick and easy lunch option is a colorful and refreshing salad. Start with a bed of leafy greens such as spinach or mixed greens. Top it with an assortment of vibrant veggies like cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and grated carrots. Add a protein source like grilled chicken or chickpeas for a satisfying and filling meal. Drizzle with a homemade vinaigrette made from olive oil, vinegar, and your choice of herbs and spices for a burst of flavor.

If your family prefers something warm and comforting for lunch, a hearty soup is always a great choice. Whip up a batch of homemade chicken noodle soup by simmering chicken broth with diced chicken, chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Season with herbs like thyme and bay leaves for added depth of flavor. Once the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, add cooked noodles and let them absorb the delicious broth. This soul-soothing soup is not only nutritious but also perfect for those chilly days when you need a little extra warmth.

For a fun and creative twist on the classic sandwich, try making a homemade wrap. Start with a whole wheat tortilla and spread a layer of hummus or creamy avocado spread. Add a variety of fillings such as sliced turkey or chicken, fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy cucumbers. For an extra pop of flavor, drizzle with a tangy dressing like yogurt and dill. Roll it up tightly and slice into bite-sized pinwheels for a lunch that is not only delicious but also easy to eat on the go.

3: Dinner Delights

Dinner is the perfect time to gather the whole family around the table and enjoy a wholesome meal together. One crowd-pleasing dinner idea is a flavorful and nutritious stir-fry. Start by sautéing your choice of protein, such as chicken, beef, or tofu, in a hot pan with a splash of oil. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, stir-fry a colorful array of vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and snow peas. Return the protein to the pan and toss everything together with a homemade stir-fry sauce made from soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a touch of honey. Serve over steamed brown rice or whole wheat noodles for a satisfying and well-balanced dinner.

If your family loves Italian cuisine, why not make a homemade pizza? Start by preparing the pizza dough by combining flour, yeast, salt, and warm water in a bowl. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, then let it rise until doubled in size. Roll out the dough into your desired shape and thickness and top it with a flavorful tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and an assortment of fresh vegetables and lean proteins like grilled chicken or turkey pepperoni. Bake in a hot oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This homemade pizza is not only a fun family activity but also a delicious way to enjoy a nutritious dinner.

For those evenings when you're short on time, a simple yet satisfying pasta dish is always a winner. Cook your choice of pasta according to package instructions. In a separate pan, sauté a medley of veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes in olive oil until tender. Toss the cooked pasta with the sautéed veggies and a dollop of pesto or marinara sauce. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil for a quick and nutritious dinner that will have everyone asking for seconds.

With these delicious and nutritious meal ideas, you can ensure that your family enjoys every bite while getting the essential nutrients they need. From a hearty vegetable omelet for breakfast to a flavorful stir-fry for dinner, there's something for everyone. So, grab your apron, gather your loved ones, and get ready to create memorable meals that nourish both body and soul!

TIPS

You can buy egg whites in a carton and measure out one egg’s worth if you’d rather not separate the egg from the white.

I used Herbs of Province for my sandwich, but you might like other blends. Try Italian seasoning, poultry seasoning, or single herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary.

I like a whole-wheat English muffin in this recipe, but you can also use regular English muffins.

For the whole McDonald’s experience, wrap the finished Egg White Delight in wax paper or parchment paper for serving!

What Recipe Can I Make With...? Creative and Delicious Ideas

Hi everyone! Are you stuck in a cooking rut and looking for something new to make? Look no further – I'm here to help. In this article, we'll be discussing the question: "What recipe can I make with..." We'll explore some simple ingredients that are easy to find in your kitchen, as well as more complex options if you're feeling adventurous. With these recipes, you won't have any problem coming up with an interesting dish for dinner tonight. So let's get started! Eggs I love to cook with eggs. Not only are they delicious and versatile, but they offer a great source of nutrition as well. Whether I'm making scrambled eggs for breakfast, quiche for lunch or an omelette for dinner, I can rely on the quality protein that comes from eggs to keep me feeling full and energized throughout my day. That being said, there may be times when you don't have access to fresh eggs. In this case, egg substitutes such as tofu or flaxseed meal can serve as viable alternatives in baked goods and other recipes. These vegan-friendly options provide similar nutritional value without having to compromise flavour or texture. No matter which option you choose to go with – whether it's fresh eggs or vegan alternatives – make sure to read up on all the health benefits associated with each one so that you're getting the most out of your meals! Rice Moving on from eggs, I'm now focusing on rice. Rice is a versatile ingredient that can turn into many delicious meals and snacks. A few of my favorite recipes are sushi making, fried rice, rice pudding, rice salad, and even rice cakes! Sushi making is one of the most common uses for cooked white or brown rice. It's also an incredibly fun recipe to make - you get to be creative with what ingredients you want to use! Fried rice is another great way to utilize leftover cooked grains in your kitchen. You just need some vegetables, soy sauce and sesame oil - so delicious! And if you're feeling really adventurous, why not try making a sweet treat using cooked white or brown rice? Rice pudding is always a fan-favorite because of its creamy texture and lovely flavor. Or maybe whip up a light meal like a flavorful vegetable-packed rice salad - perfect for picnics and potlucks alike! Lastly, don't forget about those crunchy little treats known as 'rice cakes'. These are surprisingly easy to make; all you have to do is combine cooked grains with nut butter and honey for a tasty snack any time of day. No matter what kind of dish you decide to make with your cooked grains, there's no doubt it'll be absolutely scrumptious! So let's get cooking – who knows what amazing dishes we'll come up with next? Vegetables I love to make vegetarian dishes! There are so many delicious recipes you can create with vegetables. They don't have to be boring, either – there's a wide variety of flavors and textures available when you work with plant-based ingredients. From spicy curries to savory stir-frys, whatever your taste buds crave, it can likely be made using only veggies. Vegetarian cuisine is not only tasty but also incredibly nutritious. Plant based diets are full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help keep us healthy and energized throughout the day. By swapping out meat for fruits and vegetables in our meals we’re able to get all the nutrients we need without compromising on flavor or creativity. Making creative recipes with fresh produce is one of my favorite things about cooking. It allows me to explore new flavors while making something that’s both nourishing and satisfying. Whether I'm rustling up a quick lunch or putting together an elaborate dinner spread, I always start by looking at what kind of seasonal veg I've got lying around in my kitchen - from there, the possibilities truly are endless! Cheese I love cheese, and I'm always looking for ways to incorporate it into meals. Grilled cheese is a classic go-to when it comes to quick, cheesy dinners that never fail to hit the spot. It's simple enough just two slices of bread with your favorite kind of cheese in between--and yet there are so many delicious variations you can make! For instance, try adding some thinly sliced tomatoes or even pesto between those two slices of bread; the possibilities are truly endless. Macaroni and cheese is another great way to get my fix of melty goodness. There are tons of recipes out there that involve baking macaroni in a creamy sauce topped with crunchy bits like panko crumbs or fried onions. And if you want something even more indulgent, why not add bacon? The salty pork adds an entirely new level of flavor to this comfort food staple. These dishes may not be as fancy as other things on the menu but they sure do satisfy my cravings for cheese every time. Plus, they're easy enough for anyone to master without any culinary training required! Beans Beans are a great ingredient to add flavor and texture to your meals, but they can also be incredibly nutritious. Healthy bean dishes offer essential vitamins and minerals that can help you maintain overall health. Let's take a closer look at the nutrition facts of beans and some delicious recipes you can make with them! Beans have high levels of protein which is important for building muscle mass and maintaining energy throughout the day. They're also rich in fiber, potassium, folate, iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese, copper, and selenium - all nutrients vital for healthy functioning. Additionally beans contain powerful antioxidants such as flavonoids that may reduce inflammation and protect against chronic diseases like cancer. With so many benefits from eating beans on a regular basis it’s no wonder why they've been eaten around the world for centuries. You can find countless delicious recipes online or create your own creative dish using whatever ingredients are available in your pantry. Whether you prefer spicy refried black beans or a creamy white bean hummus dip there's something out there sure to satisfy every craving! Frequently Asked Questions What Are The Health Benefits Of Each Ingredient? When it comes to nutrition facts and flavor profiles, each ingredient you use has its own set of health benefits. From apples being rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C to garlic being high in antioxidants and having anti-inflammatory properties, there are plenty of reasons why you should be incorporating these ingredients into your recipes. Nutrition facts vary from one to another, but all offer a variety of advantages that can help improve the overall quality of your diet. With careful consideration for flavor profiles as well, you’ll find yourself making healthier dishes with satisfying tastes! What Ingredients Can Be Used As Substitutes For The Listed Ingredients? Not sure what to do when a recipe calls for an ingredient you don't have? Don't worry, there are plenty of vegan alternatives and substitutes that can work in its place. Depending on your dietary restrictions, it's easy to find ingredients with similar flavors or textures as the listed item. For example, if a recipe asks for butter, you can use applesauce instead; if it requires eggs, try using flaxseed meal instead. With some creativity and experimentation, you'll be able to make delicious dishes without worrying about having every single ingredient at hand! What Is The Best Cooking Method For Each Ingredient? When it comes to cooking techniques and food preparation, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on the ingredient you're working with, different methods may yield better results than others. For example, something like steak is best cooked over a high heat for a short amount of time in order to get that delicious sear and juicy interior. Whereas vegetables are usually best when roasted in the oven at a lower temperature so they cook evenly without burning. Knowing which cooking method works best for each type of ingredient can help ensure your dishes turn out exactly how you want them! Are There Any Recipes That Can Be Made With All Five Ingredients? Are you looking for a recipe that can be made with all five ingredients? If so, there are plenty of options! From flavor combinations to ingredient alternatives, the possibilities are nearly endless.
