Parmesan crusted chicken:

Boneless, skinless chicken

1 cup of shredded parm

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

2 eggs

Italian seasoning

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Salt

Season your chicken, dredge in the eggs and then in the parm and panko mixture. Fry in a pan at med. Low heat for 5 minutes per side 🙂

Pasta aglio e oilo

Pasta (whatever you have on hand)

Olive oil

Butter

Garlic

Red pepper flake

Lemon juice

Remaining parmesan cheese (we had a 5 Oz container to start)

I guessed on amounts 😅 but equal parts olive oil and butter so you have enough for a sauce. Cook the garlic and pepper flakes until it becomes fragrant, and add a few splashes of lemon juice. Toss in the cooked noodles and parmesan, and mix until the cheese is melted 😋

Surprise, I've made more food! Thanks to Everyplate 🤪

[snoopysfriendwoodstock]

people really measure out their spices? you’re really going to take out your little ¼ teaspoon? you’re afraid your food is going to taste too good?

[troutminge]

In this house we just fuckin pour those bastard powders until the food changes colour and it feels spiritually correct

[thats-howthelightgets-in]

My dad always told me “If you can’t see it, you won’t taste it” in relation to spices and he was absolutely fucking correct

Tuscan chicken with rice

I have a really bad habit of not measuring things, so bare with me 😅

Thinly sliced chicken breast

A couple handfuls of spinach (however much you like)

A few spoonfuls of sun dried tomatoes

About a cup of fresh parmesan cheese (more or less to taste)

A small bottle of heavy cream

Italian seasonings

2 or 3 cloves of garlic, minced

Season your chicken on both sides with salt and Italian seasonings. Sear chicken on both sides at medium high heat in a deep skillet. Turn heat to medium low and mix in garlic, tomatoes, and spinach. Once the spinach starts to wilt pour in the heavy cream and cheese, and cook until the chicken is cooked through 🖤 serve over rice.

*I usually let the chicken simmer in the sauce until the rice is done cooking

Chicken gumbo

Ingredients

2/3 cup of canola oil

1 cup of flour

1 red bell pepper

5 cloves of garlic

Half a bunch of celery

1 onion

Chicken thighs, diced

Smoked sausage

2 boxes chicken broth

Seasonings (I used Tony Chacheres, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, poultry seasoning, basil, thyme, salt, and Adobo seasoning blend)

The first step is to prep you veggies and meat, just make sure everything is diced and ready to go. Next you'll make a roux. Add your flour and oil to a large stock pot and whisk at medium low heat until its smooth and a rich brown color, like chocolate. This will take about 45 minutes. Brown your sliced sausage in a pan, then remove the sausage. Deglaze the pan by adding 1/2 a cup of chicken broth to it and mix to pull up anything stuck to the pan. Pour that into the roux and mix well before adding the rest of the chicken broth. Add in all the veggies, and seasoning, as well as the chicken and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 20 or so minutes. Add in your cooked sausage and serve with rice.

Note*** add any veggies you happen to like. Okra and zucchini are popular, so have fun experimenting!

Apple cider chicken

Ingredients

Chicken thighs

1 large apple

1 large sweet potato

Grainy mustard

1 tbsp butter

2/3 cup of apple cider juice

Fresh rosemary

2 tbsp honey

Begin by cubing your sweet potato and slicing your apples. Transfer them to a bowl with salt, pepper, diced rosemary and olive oil. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a oven safe pan. Preheat oven to 450. Salt and pepper your chicken thighs and sear skin side down in the hot oil. Once golden brown remove chicken from the pan and set aside. Add apple juice, honey, and grainy mustard to the pan. Once reduced slightly whisk in butter. Add chicken back to the pan, and add in potatoes and apples. Add 3 or 4 sprigs of rosemary on top and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Serve with pan drippings over rice 💜

Dinner: baked chicken, roasted eggplant, and a side salad

~Recipe Highlight~ Baked Chicken: brine in lukewarm salted water for about 15 minutes before baking for juicier chicken. Preheat oven to 450°. After brining, pat chicken dry and season with Adobo mix, garlic powder, onion powder, Montreal mix, and paprika. Bake for 18 minutes 🥰

!Salad tip! Toss with a teaspoon of salad oil and sprinkle with salt before tossing in dressing. You'll be able to use less dressing and have more flavor 😊

I dont really have a recipe for this since it's just boxed cake, but I did make the icing!

Ingredients:

8 oz. Heavy cream

2 tbsp sugar

A splash of almond extract

8 oz. Cream cheese at room temp

Beat the cream, sugar, and almond extract until it forms fluffy but stiff peaks. Cube the cream cheese and add the whipped cream, beat until evenly distributed 🖤
