I saw a guy eating this on YouTube and had to try. Cottage cheese with jam. This is really tasty, I wasn’t expecting the two to go along so well.
Also, here’s my latest Amazon order
I know this is probably common for ya, but we don’t have twinkies in Italy and when I saw the version with peanut butter I had to try it. I already ordered the standard ones last summer and was not disappointed.
Stovetop. Use the heaviest pan you have (cast iron is great for this; I use 2.5mm copper). Preheat it for 5-10 minutes. It should be very hot. Oil should smoke immediately. I toss the sprouts in olive oil or bacon fat, and add bacon fat directly to the pan as well (15g fat tossed with 800g of sprouts, plus 15g fat in the pan). Add single layer of sprouts to the pan and Flip them all flat side down. Cook for 3-6 mins on med-high until well browned. Flip to round side down, and cook another few minutes. Add salt at the end (to help retain as much moisture in the sprouts as possible, helping to keep up pan temps.
You can cook them in a single layer on a preheated baking sheet at 500F for about 10mins, but they are best, I think, from the stovetop.
Gonna mix up meal prep a little… give the chicken tits a break! Bought a sirloin tip roast. Think it would do better in a crock pot or the oven?
Chicken Burrito/Wraps. Made with carrots,lettuce,cheese,mayo mixed with ketchup(Very nice tasting dressing for any meat),and chicken. One of my favorite foods.
When you are going to have sweet potatoes but all of a sudden you get a craving for mashed potatoes but you don’t wanna give up on the sweet ones, and you aren’t dieting
When I was a kid we used potatoes whipped with sour cream as the filling for pierogis.
It’s an awesome combination!
No!
Just kidding, but no.
That sounds more like a torte of some kind. Probably very good, just not something I’ve ever seen.
I’m thinking of making some next year with potato/morel or chanterelle. If I do I’ll post 'em.
Pierogies with almost any reasonable filler are great. I used to gather gold button mushrooms and wild blackberries in the woods behind my grandmother’s house for her homemade pierogies. Nobody made them like grandma did. I love my Polish heritage and the continuous effort involved in trying to cook as well as my grandmother did. I think I’ve surpassed my parents, but not grandma. She was born in Poland and spent a lot of time making miracles out of simple ingredients.
And yes, I’m all about sour cream in mashed potatoes, whether they are destined for the inside of a pierogie or plated up on their own. I like fluffy, not dense with butter and heavy cream. A good lower-calorie option for sure. I still use a bit of butter and usually half-and-half, but sour cream leads the way in my mashed potatoes.
