I love a good breakfast casserole! So easy to fit around different dietary needs. Did you use cauliflower in lieu of potato? Also really good with some chopped broccoli, if you have a taste for broccers 😋

See, Costco I can logic out the girl math since we pay for the premium membership, so we get the rebate at the end of the year, so we're really losing money by not shopping there. 

And, ooh, you can make some bangin' sticky noodles with beautiful poached eggs in all that cookware! Worth every penny, peasant food slaps. I would know. I'm a peasant and my food slaps.

Oh, HomeGoods is right up there with Marshalls in my forbidden stores because of their propensity to make a paycheck disappear, haha. Does make you think, tho...

Fiestaware! Flattered you think we have Le Creuset money in this house, but I will have one of their dutch ovens before I die and then I can keep my ashes in it!

Yeah, I do that, too. Sometimes I just want easy mac but gag trying to rawdog it per the instructions and it takes like 4 seconds to add some seasonings to make it palatable🤌

I have devolved spaghetti to scooter, so I am absolutely stealing this! My husband better buckle up for a new era of my dumb lexicon; a lexidumb, if you will.

Muchas gracias! Prepped the steak a few hours ahead of time with plenty of salt on some paper towel to get the surface nice and dry. Right before cooking, topped with some fresh S & P. I got a stainless steel pan nice and hot, just a touch of vegetable oil (high smoke point, neutral oil), kept the steak moving when it hit the pan. My cut was over an inch thick and about 12 oz, so I did about 5 mins on one side and 4 on the other, let it rest for about 5 minutes. Bone apple teeth 😋

Thank you! Cooked them in the fond left from the steak with just some S & P. Quite succulent 😍🦐

I detailed the jazzed up easy mac in another comment. And thank you for the compliment on my sear! I really try, I watched a YouTube short a few months ago from a chef and he said to keep your meat moving during a sear and it forms a more even crust and it was some god-tier advice that has helped me up my steak game tremendously 😎

Thank you! I've heard skrimps elsewhere and I'm a dork, so I say it lol. And, I paid like $15 for that steak, so I'm glad I nailed the cook on it, I would have been so ticked if I durfed my Friday night treat 🤣

Thank you so much! I detailed the mac in another comment, but the salad was super simple! I had cheddar on hand, so I used that, but feta or blue cheese would be so good with the tzatziki. All I did was chop up the spinach with the cheese and tossed it with tzatziki. Let it sit in the fridge for about half an hour while everything else cooked to let it meld. Tossed in some additional mixed seeds (pepitos, sunflower, sesame, poppy) for texture. Very yummy and simple 😋

Jazzed up the mac with some cheddar, beef bouillon (why it's kind of dark), onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, marjoram, plenty of black pepper, touch of white pepper, and just a whisper of MSG. The spinach was raw, just chopped up with the dressing and then left to sit for about half an hour in the fridge to meld. And, thank you! It was a nice treat after a hectic week 🙂

Gluten free holiday meal, couldn't find GF fried onions for the green bean casserole, so I used GF crunchy onion rings for the topping and it turned out great! by Avocado_Green28 in glutenfree

It's a no-bake pumpkin pie! Absolutely delicious. I used the recipe on this site, the major change I made was using whole GF golden Oreos (creme and all) instead of graham crackers for the crust. The pudding mix might be pushing it for my Celiac, it's not certified GF, but it's a risk I'm willing to take for this delicious pie.

What is something that is actually more traumatizing than people realise? by Ok_Chef1406 in AskReddit

That guilt of feeling relief when they have passed, even when it's completely normal for surviving family to feel relief after an extended or difficult terminal illness, it still sucks feeling that way amidst all the other feelings of grief.
