That pot roast looks good. I'd plow through that in a day. For me I dont mind eat medium to well done. All someone has to do is dunk those slabs in the sauce anyway!

Chicken Marsala w Linguini, Pork Dan Dan Noodles, and Steak Diane w Roasted Garlic Mash…not all in the same week or I’d weigh 59 more lbs lol. All recipes from TikTok which is fast becoming my favorite recipe source.
Kinda overdid the gravy on the Diane but trust me it was delish w beef tenderloin underneath

I forgot to take a pic, but it wouldnt be noteworthy anyway.
But been under the weather lately and needed something hot and filling.
Grilled up some bacon wrapped sausages, made a can of Bush beans, and then cut up the sausages into the pot and cooked it together for 5 minutes. Two sausages was perfect.
It was pure slumming. But probably the best tasting meal I had in 3 days as my taste buds have been muted while sick.

Home alone last night, I decided to cook all of my mushrooms in oil and seasoning with spring onions, then splashed in some marinade a friend gave me (I can't remember what he put in it aside from like salt and I think lime juice).
I ended up putting them over some white rice. Was pretty good, but I was hungry an hour later.

Tried this at a bar on vacation last year out of curiosity, and it was fantastic.
Pickle pizza: olive oil, garlic, cheese, pickle slices (I usually make my own pickles, but used jarred here), and fresh dill
Awesome, love pickles and dill. Imma try this one.

If you love making Pizza get one of these…
I was shocked at how much of a difference a pizza steel makes. I literally spent years thinking I wasn’t making the dough well enough but it turns out my oven and stone just sucked!

Sheeeeit I might need one of these. I preheat a stone @500 for at least an hour and I swear it’s still not hot enough. Especially when doing 4+ pizzas at a timeIf you love making Pizza get one of these…

It’s life alteringly better than a stone I was shocked it literally cooks like an actual pizza oven. You do have to blast it for at least 45 minutes at 550 to get the full effect though but depending on the thickness of your crust you can fully cook it in 5-10 minutes.
This was home made but I did one from Trader Joe’s last week able it came out like this.

My biggest struggle with cooking has always been juggling multiple dishes at once, but I've been doing better in that regard recently with timing things so they all come out at around the same.
For Valentine's, I made my wife and I roasted herb potatoes, parmesan crusted asparagus, brown butter lemon salmon (for her) and a reverse seared NY strip (for me). It was somewhat difficult, but very satisfying.

IF you are not using the oven, it can work wonders at a low temp to keep a dish warm. Just set it at 150 or something and keep your food warm.

You could cut your teeth a little more preparing single pot meals. Many are quite good, too.

I've done that as well, but I also enjoy having separate dishes. I'm doing it to improve, not out of necessity.

kinda but it’s welcome in the winter time.That doesn't make your house feel like a furnace?
Wow...

Yeah, I always employ the oven for this exact thing. Even when I don't need it, I still put the dishes I'm going to use to serve warm food in the oven at lowest temp. Nothing cools food faster than a cold dish out of the cabinet. Something I think a lot of home cooks overlook.

Also important for espresso or Keurig I always put hot water into my cups before drinking coffee how since I have a hot water dispenser but if I didn’t I’d probably use the oven trick.

Hell yeah, my mum always did this when we were growing up and still does it for family events. When you spend hours preparing a meal with sides or entrees or lots of guests/friends it pays to warm the serving things. We do it at home for special effort dinners or timing lots of dishes together. Same goes for kids sports after school hours, having things they can just grab and them being warm'n'ready to go is a game changer. Kids learnt how to be around ovens and cook tops pretty quickly.
The opposite is true as well, splash of water swirled in a glass then poured out and placed in your freezer makes a cold drink even better. It's great when you run out of drinks in the fridge because even an off the shelf drink will chill enough in seconds to be more enjoyable.

A couple slum meals that hit the spot. I buy Stagg chili and Chunky soup here and there. Cant go wrong when these are $2.
1. After you heat it up, pour it on top of 1/3rd of a bowl of kettle chips
or
2. I had some leftover steak. The piece I made was way too big so I had around 1/4 of a steak as leftovers. The next day I cut it up into small pieces grilled it up in the pot and then poured in the chili or soup to cook it all up. Such an awesome difference

Pack of "Hidden Valley Ranch" powder. Instead of mixing it with a cup of mayo per instructions, use unflavored Greek yogurt instead. It tastes like a mix of ranch and tzatziki sauce, and is much healthier.
Apologies to the un-Americans - you see "ranch" dressing is an American invention we use to make even our salads fatty.
