Anyone Here Like To Cook/bake?

[BigManAquatics]

You cooking for the whole neighborhood again?

The neighborhood wishes!

Hey. A food thread.
I used to be a foodie. Now I just kind of eat.

Right now I'm cooking potato wedges on the grill and reheating half of a spatchcocked chicken I grilled a few nights ago.

Always looking for inspiration for a new meal.

We're having pork steak too. Just not on the grill.

here’s an orange vanilla panna cotta pie I made for my boyfriend this summer! carmelizing the oranges was super fun.

 

[Dunk2]

Would you people please stop. . . I’m (poorly) attempting to be on a diet.

Tried a new recipe the other night: Salmon New Orleans. Yumm.

 

[PAcanis]

Any salmon recipe that includes shrimp is good by me

I can only smell the sausages, because I've never eaten grill-cooked steak (that is a steak, right? I also might have not eaten 'proper' steak either). In Lithuania the most popular grilling season meal is shashlik and that's what everyone in my environment is making.

Meanwhile, I baked a really delicious cheese pie. Ate a big chunk before thinking of taking a photo...

It is steak, but not beef. It is pork steak. And that cheese pie looks delicious!

My favorite way to do pork steaks is St Louis BBQ pork steaks.

Season and sear


Put some beer and some BBQ sauce in a pan, put the steak in and cover it up. Cook indirect 20-40 minutes. Flip the steak once during that time. You'll smell when it's done.


Resting with the cover off to thicken the sauce


And...


You won't need your knife.

It's good over rice, too, with the sauce poured over.

I just use a rib rub on mine. Tastes great and the best part? The kids eat it willingly!

 

[BigManAquatics]

Chilly, damp day, so i think the menu tonight will include grilled pork steak and stuffing!

 

[BigManAquatics]

As promised.

Dang, everyone talks about Idaho’s potatoes, but does anyone talk about our cherries? Just pulled these off the tree in the back yard. Only took about 5-10 minutes to fill a bucket, big bunches of flawless, perfectly symmetrical cherries coming off by the handfuls. These are a variety of pie cherry though, so they are kind of tart.

Definitely making pie tonight! If anyone has a good cherry pie recipe, please post, I need some inspiration! I already have a good crust recipe, but I don’t have a filling recipe, so I might have to eyeball the sugar and flour.

I just saw this thread and so excited! Wow your cherries look so good. I had no idea they grew so well in Idaho! I realize this was months ago but your pictures screamed at me to LOOK! I started reading at the 1st page and someone had a cherry pie recipe, maybe good for you next June! There's no pie filling in a can that could compare to yours!

I LOVE BANANA BREAD! I’m gonna make some today!

Everyone in my family loves it, once in awhile I buy an extra bunch of bananas and a few days later make 3 loaves at a time. 1 for us and either give 1 to each of my kids for them and their kids, or they go into the freezer til they visit. I have them hooked!

Take me to Flavortown!

Sariwon Bulgogi marinated ribeye steak served with radish kimchi, pickled daikon and carrot, sesame and ginger grilled shishito peppers and grilled lemon pepper asparagus. Another homerun!

All this talk makes me want to make some banana nut bread
I stopped making it because of the fruit flies. And banana ice cream, too, for that matter. But I've been battling fruit flies for a couple weeks now, so it's not just the bananas

I used to use a mini loaf pan. Perfect single serving.

Those look yummy! Try keeping the bananas in the freezer. Hopefully the fruit flies will die off once winter hits.

Thanks.

I've got traps set, but I'm getting tired of taking care of them.
Freezing sounds like it might work, but I know they come in on onions and pretty much everything the local grocer sells.

I make them that size at Christmas and hand them out to a lot of people! Those are perfect for my husband and I, or we'd eat a whole full-size loaf! I've just lost 49 pounds, really want to see 60 by Christmas so I take bites now, not slices... still enjoying the things I like in small portions!

Those are so pretty, when I get some time I'll be baking and freezing again.

I'm all for anything that keeps me from getting a knife dirty

When I was in college, we had a couple potatoes in a bag fall behind the microwave stand. It wasn’t until we had a million fruit flies all over the house and the potatoes started to liquify, that we discovered it. It was pretty gross lol

 

[peachsonas]

My boyfriend and I are big on Asian cuisine, so spicy hotpot with a whole lot of side dishes is on the menu for a cold rainy day!

 

[FishDan]

Just started making steamed bao buns at home! Super easy and delicious!

 

[peachsonas]

I made a perfect pancake…

 

[PAcanis]

I went the full Monty tonight. I haven't used three burners and the grill in a long time.

 

[StarGirl]

I made banana bread. yum!!!

I can put oatmeal in the microwave

That is about it

Gotta start somewhere

My Christmas baking is done. That's it. Cookies and fudge.

 

[Coradee]

Wow you’ve been busy, can I come for Christmas? they all look very yummy

 

[V1K]

Baked a pumpkin pie. The surface might be just a little bit too fried, but doesn't really affect the taste. Otherwise it's a great success. The filling texture is just what I was going for, firm (even when cutting it hot), but light and juicy, and it's not too sweet, so you can eat a big chunk without feeling groggy afterwards. The crust is nice, but it was a bit hard to shape, so I might try a different recipe for the dough the next time.

 

[PAcanis]

My favorite pie

 

[BigManAquatics]

I volunteered to cook dinner tonight. Think tacos are on the menu! Sounds good to me...and the kids generally like them as well!

 

[peachsonas]

i made chicken noodle soup today for the first time! It was delicious

 

[CHJ]

Over the last few days I converted the 3 turkey carcasses (2 smoked, one roasted) into 5 gallons of white bean soup.

They are cookies rolled in nuts and a thumbprint in the middle you fill with jam.

My grandmother and aunt used to make all kinds of holiday cookies. I remember one specifically that was like a round ball rolled in coconut with a date or fig-like texture.
But no thumbprint cookies.
I think I missed out

Rolled in nuts? Aw man, they cheaped out on me. The ones I got just looked like brown cookies with a mushed in center. No nuts at all and only enough jam to color the dent.

Sounds delicious...You planning on filling up a fish tank?

Hmm, I did just clean out 3 SPEC 3 tanks..
No wait, their Hydor heaters died so the soup would be cold.

Pozole Verde with roasted pork...nothing beats a hot and flavorful stew on a cold day!

I made some GF copycat thin mints over the weekend. Finally dipped them tonight.
