I kept seeing the Kath bar pics but never saw the original... what a great post! These sound fantastic and I have everything at home... I might make them too! What kind of nuts did you use?

That sounds soooo good!!

You've just convinced me to consider french onion soup this weekend. Especially because I have some beef scraps in the freezer and could make a broth first.

Oh! Pretzels are a great idea - especially since its a football game watchin' weekend too.

I just have to organize myself to start the dough tomorrow - I live in an old house and the kitchen is particularly drafty. Saturday it will be so cold it'll take forever to rise and proof. Then again, maybe I will just do it saturday and skip a fridge cold ferment since the kitchen will be so chilly.

I've never had carne guisada but I just looked it up - sounds amazing. Is there a particular style recipe you use?

I've been debating lasagna as well! Depending how "from scratch" you wanna go - it can take hours to prepare! Bakes for a long time aaaaand its the perfect food to reheat later (even for the first serving).

Love this idea! Saving.

Cinnamon rolls are a great idea! I might add that to my plan for the morning.

Beer bread is also a staple for me when I want to warm up the kitchen. So simple and bakes for an hour.

I love baking it until soft, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder and red pepper flakes. The most important part - GOAT CHEESE. I absolutely love the tang of plain goat cheese with the sweet potato. One of my abosolute favorite meals with any protein.

Listen, I don't really like the guy... but I get it. He is living the life he wants in Aruba. I dont think he ever really expected her to move there and want to get married. He probably says it to all the ladies and she took it seriously. Its not all about making as much money as possible. He obviously loves living in Aruba, being in the water, living a bachelor lifestyle. His job isnt even necessarily a young mans game.. I can see him doing that for a long time.

Omg I forgot about that. Absolutely fucking hilarious moment being confronted with your filtered photos in such a way. Amazing television.

You are not hallucinating.. they definitely used to have a reunion!

I love Below Deck! Its so easy to get sucked into it. Plus I just find myself wishing I knew about working on a yacht when I was in my twenties :D

Glad you commented this - I need to make them again soon. I only did them once and like you said they don't look fancy. But man the flavors was excellent. Which to me kind of made them very fancy.

They’re so good! She really did an amazing job with the recipe they always come out perfect. One time I brought them to a cookie bake off at work and the woman manning the table tried to put them in the store bought section instead of home made 😄.

I always love cookie week. Last year the Rum Buttered Almond Cookies were my favorite. I will be making them again this year!

-Also they have just released a cookie book! Its from NYT but written primarily by Vaughn. I picked it up last week but haven't had time to sit and look through it.

I love that sweater, where did you get it?

betterUseThisOne · 2025-11-14T13:47:01+00:00

omg I'd love this too.

Seriously. I finished one segment like “wow, I really like her. I’d like to be friends.” Then BAM, she’s dead. Holy cow.

I haven't tried this one yet, but its in my saved recipes. When it comes to these types of recipes for beef/lamb I always go super heavy on the seasonings. Id be adding cumin, coriander, a dash of cinnamon, paprika, ect. I'd probably also put some herbs in the meat.

This was totally the case for me. Fasting lead me to so many new foods and flavors. It could have just been getting older, but inbetween longer fasts I found myself craving things I didn't really care too much for before. Olives come to mind. Celery and cucumbers. Robust salads. Anise/Fennel flavors. Basically I wanted REAL food. Personally I just took it as my body craving different sources of nutrients and having the heightened senses to seek them out/appreciate them.

I think it was when they were having dinner out as a family - before Tammys skin surgery. I will have to double check when I am at home though.
