Dinner tonight is a result of a craving I’ve been having lately: Hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and brown onion gravy. I’m ready for a nap.

Dinner tonight with my wife: Tapas from La Bodega in Kansas City. So delicious and the happy hour pricing is amazing! 1. Papas Fritas con Ajo 2.Queso de Cabra al Horno 3. Pincho de Pollo y Chorizo 4. Escalivada

Dinner tonight: Mac n cheese with a side of pork belly burnt ends. Surprisingly, this was my first time making mac n cheese from scratch and is something I need to master in the future. Mistakes were made, cheese sauce was broken, and lessons were learned. Attempt 2 coming soon.

A simple but delicious Sunday night dinner.

Back at Diametric Brewing Company and Burn Theory Fire Kitchen in Lee’s Summit, MO for their 7th anniversary party. Great food, great beers, and great people!

Dinner tonight was a thiccccc chicken sandwich from Burn Theory Fire Kitchen in Lee’s Summit, MO. Dessert was my wife’s peach crumble.

Also, my mom made me breakfast this morning.

Grilled up some patty melts on the Blackstone tonight. Perfect use for the pickled cactus I made last week.

I made pickled nopalitos.

Lunch

Made a trip to the farmers market this morning for a hangover cure

I made this video in October of 2022, but I’ve recently been on a kick of them again now that it’s getting hot again. Ranch Water is perfect for when you need something bubbly and refreshing but don’t want or have beer.

Sunday, I hosted the third iteration of my monthly dinner club. The theme was Greek. The dinner consisted of homemade pita bread, Tirokafteri, tzatziki, spanakopita, chicken souvlaki gyros, and baklava. For drinks, we had Greek beers, Greek wine, and cocktails made with Ouzo.

Meal prep this week is everyone’s least favorite: Salad As normal, cleaning out my fridge with this. Iceberg lettuce, Roma tomatoes, leftover cucumber salad from last week, Chihuahua cheese, and chicken thighs. The juices from the cucumber salad made a nice little vinaigrette.

Still the greatest of all cooking snacks: Chicken skin chips

Simple and beautiful. Just like this weather.

I was chopping up some veggies and herbs for a cucumber salad while I have ribs smoking on the grill. My wife is making a bunch of cookies and looks up at me and said, “This is fun.” My heart literally melted and a tear nearly rolled down my cheek.

Enjoying the weather smoking ribs and enjoying some beers. How is your Friday going?

Had to breakout ole reliable for potato gratin. Worked like a charm!

This week’s meal prep: meatloaf and potato gratin. Are you team ketchup on meatloaf or no?

This week’s meal prep: Tex-Mex Dirty Rice

What should I cook with these?

Last night, I hosted the second dinner of my dinner club and the theme was Italian.

A little quack snack while I finish prepping for tonight’s Italian dinner. 🦆

This Week’s Meal Prep: Sandwiches! Wrapped them up nicely in parchment paper.

Late Night Duck Risotto

Would you believe me if I told you this Frank’s Red Hot cookie tasted great?

Who’s up and wants risotto?

I tried walking away without buying all 6 of these bowls and became physically ill. I needed them. Marshalls and TJ Maxx need to formally trespass me from all of their stores. I cannot be trusted once I walk through the doors.

Being a police officer is cool because I can get paid to go to the local farmer’s market to shop and get lunch. Today’s haul: Lumpia and Matcha with raspberry cold foam

Good morning. I’m going to sleep, but you should give me some suggestions on other food content creators to follow on this app. I’m not seeing enough food on my feed.

This week’s meal prep: Roasted pork loin on red potatoes and onion pedals topped with the mushroom gravy from last week and a side of garlic asparagus with parmesan.

This app needs to up its video length time. My newest video is 23 seconds over the 3 minute max. Posted on every other app if you want to watch it.

tacos de papas con huevos y tocino

Happy Easter! If you are scrambling to figure out a side to bring to the family dinner, here’s a super quick and easy salad that is always a big hit for me!

I’ve been battling an upset stomach for about a week now. After leaving work early and letting my stomach calm down a bit last night, I decided some hot broth might do the trick. So I made a real simple mushroom and miso ramen broth and some noodles I had been wanting to try out.
