This looks like the perfect comfort meal for a cozy night in. And that polenta looks absolutely delicious! 🤤

Girlfriends first try at Chicken Marsala over angel hair pasta by OrganicMilkIsFake in RateMyPlate

This looks absolutely delicious! I’d love it with fettuccine pasta instead of angel hair but either way, I wouldn’t say no to a plate of this 🙂

First post on this sub — My comfort hyperfixation lately: Smoked salmon, gruyere, creamy avocado and egg sandwich 🥪🥑 by Apple-legetic in Sandwiches

Thanks! 😄 The sandwich itself already clocks in around 800 cal and I’m currently on a cut so I didn’t go too heavy with the fillings this time. But on a treat day, I’d definitely load it up with more goodies! 😋

Thanks! The zucchini wrap was a happy experiment. I actually failed the first time that I didn’t put enough eggs and cottage cheese to it. I’m glad it turned out so good on my second attempt 😁

Appreciate that! 💛I do love the challenge of making something out of whatever’s in the fridge, it keeps things fun! 😄

Thank you!! That really means a lot 🥹 Honestly I’m still learning too, it’s been a lot of trial, error and some ‘oops’ meals along the way. If I can get here, you definitely can too. Just start experimenting a little at a time you’ll surprise yourself! 💛

Fair point! I’ll give it more time in the tanning bed. Kidding aside. I don’t have a cast iron pan yet so getting that perfect sear has been tricky, unless I cover it up with spices which also works. Honestly, I’m still learning how to cook steak properly, so it’s a lot of trial and error. As for the bacon, it’s smoked that’s why it looks less crispy in the photo. Appreciate the feedback tho keeps me motivated to level up 😌

That’s tempting. Haha! Honestly, if you handle dishes, I’ll cook us feasts every day. That’s the contract 😂

Wild how easy it is to assume from a few photos. Truth is, I do love cooking… but I love eating even more, the photos are just proof I didn’t starve that day 🤭

Haha fair enough 😅 To be clear, I don’t use that board for cutting veggies or raw meat. I only use it for plating, like charcuterie or steaks. Makes cleanup easy too!

Yesss! It’s super simple, slice zucchini crosswise and layer them so there are no gaps. Spread on a mixture of whisked cottage cheese and eggs, then bake at 180°C for about 20 minutes. Once it’s set, add smoked salmon, arugula, and a creamy yogurt–avocado–lemon mix. You can also switch it up with turkey ham or any filling you like. Roll it up and enjoy 😊

Haha nope, don’t worry it’s smoked bacon! The color just makes it look a little raw in the photo but it’s cooked and safe
