Food porn!

Do you guys put bacon grease in houshold trash or burn it?

 

Neither.

You put it in a jar so you can cook with it later.

Or use it to season your cast iron pans.

 

Little snack.

 

I don't cook but can follow directions. Since the better half passed, I have been on a door dash and bourbon diet. A dietician recommend the " Meal lime" (free) app and it's a major life saver for me. just got done cooking Balsamic grilled chicken with a classic Caprese salad. The app allows me to pick dietary choices (low carb for me), number of people/meals and makes a shopping list based on meal choices and gives step by step instructions to follow. I will post pics in the future. Sounds like an infomercial, my bad but i'm just happy getting back to healthy eating. End of rant.

 

Ya I get "Hello Fresh" meals.

 

But I really only get grocerys from one location that has a food storage facility nearby.

 

Pulled pork 12 hours on smoker

 

12 hour brisket smoke

 

That a boy! Looks delicious

 

Thanks! It turned out pretty good…first time I’ve used the butcher paper to wrap instead of foil…for sure like this method better.

 

Haven’t had the courage to try brisket yet. From what I hear you either nail it and it’s delicious or you totally screw it up and order pizza. I’ve had the peach butcher paper for years, just haven’t tried to do a brisket.

 

The first brisket was scary but I’ve been fortunate to not screw one up yet…I’ve done 4 or 5. I use a Traeger and have the temp probe in the meat constantly and monitor it. Probably cheating but it’s worked. I never had the courage to smoke one with a traditional smoker.

 

Got my Orange Juice for the day. I only get it at one location because it tastes like vineger from local stores.

 

They want $120.00 for a dozen crabs that are worth eating.
I can get a huge jar of fresh lump crab claw meat for $10.00 fills me up just as much.

 

Fueling up, it’s going to be a very busy day!

 

Zucchin noodles with jalapeno/cheddar bratts, spinach and parmesan- lemon sauce.

 

I haven't made this in almost a year, so I decided to go all out. Stuffed Shells. Stuffed with sweet sausage, basil, ricotta, parm, oregeno and topped with spicy marinara & mozzaralla!

I tried to put it on the plate so it looked very presentable. I love it when I see a You Tube thumbnail showing a perfect portion of food. Well, this wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good and it was soooooooooooooo rich and full of flavor.

..served with Garlic Knots. Because you can never have too much garlic!

 

Can’t see the sautéed mushrooms…..

 

Bacon Asparagus & Grape Tomato Cavatappi?

Pigeon ala cornfield?

 

Burger time!

It's Sunday and the first week of football (thank God).

• BBQ Bacon burger on a brioce bun.
• Seasoned Fries (pre-seasoned with olive oil, salt & pepper)
• Chick-Fil-A sauce - to dip the fries in.

Ingredients for the burger:

1. Lightly toasted brioche bun.
2. Both sides topped the Sweet Baby Ray's tangy bbq sauce "The sauce is the boss!"
   
3. Angus burger, cooked medium-well (150 degrees) with pepper jack cheese mixed in.
4. Sliced tomato.
5. Sliced pickles.
6. 3 slices of bacon.

 

A must for making fries.

 

Thing is like 75 years old, still cutting.
