Homemade bread, smoked cheddar, smoked pepper jack. Some improvised dip for the fries made with mayo, ketchup, lemon juice and homemade Emeril's Bam powder.

Cost per person $3.10

Refried beams, turkey, smoked pepper jack, tinned jalapenos. The turkey was free a long time ago. I disassembled it and canned the meat and made stock out of the bones. Home made taco seasoning.

Cost: $1.85 per person

A while ago we got dirt crappy 4 oz crappy frozen ribeye steaks for $2 each. The sauce is my last jar of Italian gravy. So there's quite a bit of pork in that. When I get the chance I'll have to make more. Scratch made crust.

Cost per person: $4.50

I thought I would save some time by asking my wife to help plate. I turned around and found the eggs on top of the sausage gravy. Lesson learned. Never ask for help. Be fully independent.

I'd dice a russet up fairly small, then pan fry it in avocado oil. Add rosemary, salt and pepper. Remove and cover, then fry an egg in the leftover oil. Shread cheese on top and serve with salsa.

Anybody ever use canned clams?

I'm making a red clam sauce with a can of clams. Left to my own devices, I'd rinse the clams thoroughly before adding to the sauce.

Do I want the juice?

I've been trying to cook some of the food I've been finding in Blue Prince! Today was the

I'm unsure how to make it more yellow than orange. Butternut squash base, maybe? I like making the country stew pie more, but beef stew is delicious!

I've come to love this recipe. It seems like an odd mix of ingredients, but it comes together nicely.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp traditional olive oil
• 600 g sliced leek
• 1 chicken stock cube
• 1 courgette
• 400 g tinned artichoke hearts
• 300 g fusilli
• 20 g fresh parsley
• 1 lemon
• 240 g sardines in water -180 g Taggia olives
• 1 tbsp dried tarragon
• 250 ml cooking cream

Directions:

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the leek with the chicken stock cube for 6 minutes on medium heat. In the meantime, wash the courgette, halve it lengthwise and cut into ½ cm wide slices. Cut the artichoke hearts into quarters. Scoop the leek out of the pan into a tall beaker. Heat the oil in the same frying pan and fry the courgette on high heat for 6 minutes. Stir regularly. In the meantime, bring a large pan of water with a little salt to the boil for the pasta. Add the pasta and cook for 12 minutes until al dente. In the meantime, finely chop the parsley. Scrub the lemon clean, halve and squee

I'm looking at making some roasted purple yams that I tried at an asian supermarket, I was wondering how they were so chewy and delicious. Do they normally have additives, like some kind of marinade or something that make them so tasty, or are they just naturally that good with standard roasting?

Didn't feel like cooking. So I made bread and used up some leftovers. Of course this means breaking out the emergency goat cheese.

Cost? No idea.

I need to do more meal-prepping. I've been thinking of burritos or pasta.
There's a delicious (and easy!) veggie pasta salad i did once that's on my list.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the great suggestions! So many of these are getting added to my notes!

I have a question about food safety and edibility.

I was going to make beef jerky yesterday, but by the time the block of chuck thawed I was too tired to slice it thin. Rather than half-ass the job, I threw it in the fridge to do today.

The thing is, I brain farted and put it back in the freezer. It's a brick again. My question is about refreezing meat. I've always known not to do it and never have. Is it still safe to eat? Even if safe, will refreezing it render the jerky inedible?

Breakfast for dinner

French toast from homemade bread with bacon and duck eggs.

Cost per person: $3.40

'Twas kinda a pain in the ass so I'm not typing out the recipe, but it was adapted from America's Test Kitchen "Mostly Meatless"

That being said it was nice enough that the PITA\Goodness ratio is well into the "I'd make it again on a rainy Sunday while watching the Huskies win the championship" range.

Mexican hummus as we call it here. Basically gussied up refried beans as a meal. Cheap, a good use of weird leftover oniony bits and stuff.

This is my first attempt to do it with black beans instead of pintos. It actually turned out pretty well. I'm not used to making a super small batch of guajillo sauce and I accidentally put too much onion in it but it still worked out.

Cost per person: $2.56 #owcapril25

Tuna mix included green olives, onion, pepperoncini, jalapeno, mayo, mustard. The bread is pumpernickel rye that I crusted with cotija cheese. For the cheese I went with smoked cheddar.

Was it tasty? Yes. The extra crunch from the cheese crust was amazing. I gotta use up this cotija before it goes bad and it is a perfect parmesan substitute for lots of things.

Cost was about $5.25 per person.
