Baked wings with a bourbon bbq sauce

Cornbread

Mac Cheese

Coleslaw

Feeling very full after that feast, will be eating leftovers for a few days I think!

Super thin crispy salty bacon and homemade tomato sauce on basic bitch white bread.

Nothing too flash, just a quick and tasty start to Sunday.

Just missing coriander as its out of season at the moment - none in the garden and I'm not paying supermarket prices for it!

I can't take credit for these - MrsBeekeeper baked them. I just get to enjoy eating them.

Basic bitch white breadmaker bread, ham, and edam cheese with mayo.

Baked potato with butter, leftover brisket, creamed corn and cheese then grilled. Topped with sour cream and red onion.

Shredded 8 hour slow cooked brisket.

Brisket juices from the slow cooker with toasted dried chillis (ancho, poblano and chipotle), onion, garlic and tomatoes blended into a sauce and mixed through the brisket with kidney beans.

Served on cheesed corn chips with sour cream, guacamole and pickled jalapeños and a couple of lime wedges

I swear I haven't been in the kitchen all day, but it was definitely a while!

Sautéed all the meat and the mirepoix on a hob before deglazing with red wine, adding stock and then simmering the ragu for about 4 hours on the logfire.

I used all the eggs between breakfast and muffins so had to make do with peasant dried pasta.

MrsBeekeeper was busy baking bread and burger buns this weekend and then hanging out with her birthday-girl friend, so I have nothing sweet to go with my lunches this week.

I had buttermilk leftover from fried chicken yesterday so I used Nagi's buttermilk muffin recipe with some blueberries from the freezer to whip up some hopefully delicious and moist muffins.

Edit - not my birthday! A friend came to stay for her birthday, so I cooked for her yesterday and today.

Couldn't find hollandaise at the supermarket so had to make some.

Birthday dinner request from a friend.

Bonus tender on the side

Tried something new to me with the spuds - boiled with skins on, then crushed slightly, oiled up, sprinkled with flaky salt and crisped in the airfryer. Turned out really soft inside with a crispy skin and where they crushed open.

A very carb heavy lunch today, but it's cold outside so comfort food is very welcome, and it's the weekend so it doesn't matter if I need a nap afterwards!

Dumplings (Leannes Kitchen), cabbage, spring onion, pickled ginger and (disappointingly overcooked) egg, chili crisp.

Tried for something a bit healthy for a mid-week meal.

Poached eggs on sourdough with chilli crisp.

The chickens are starting to lay again, and fresh eggs make the beet poached eggs.

My wife requested dauphinoise, so I made a sour cream based one to go with lamb chops, and leek sautéed in butter with black mustard seeds.

Cheese, creamed corn and red onion, cooked in a cast iron skillet.

Had a bunch of drumsticks in the freezer - probably my least favourite part of a chicken as they're so faffy to eat. Haven't found a source for legless chickens though so they tend to build up in the freezer as I often get whole fresh chickens and cut them up.

Tried out RecipeTin Eats recipe for a sticky plum/soy/hoisen glaze with Chinese 5 soice. Not that much plum flavour (barkers plum sauce used) but very tasty nonetheless.
