My cook on the 4th
Chicken was a bit dry because it took longer than normal to cook, but the injection kept it from being dust.

Not sure if I'm in the right place. Here's some apple turnovers I made for my wife and son (personally I don't eat sweets but they said these were tasty)
Homemade Spätzle, German Brat and shiitake beans.
The rest makes itself.
And then I dropped the fish and we made chicken nuggets....
Baby's GI consult today yielded the advice that Mom should cut dairy, soy, and corn for a month. I am the primary cook of the house.
Mom is an overproducer, exclusively pumping. We aren't against going formula if this falls through. Her biggest concerns are "I put cheese on everything, making sure I get enough calcium" and meal prepping, since she's relied on her workplaces cafeteria for lunches, so meal prep items get bonus points.
Hit me with any advice you'd give another dadchef approaching this for the first time.
Last weekend I fired up the smoker for first time in over a year. Difficult to find time previously with one kid and now we have two, glad I made it work. Oldest is getting the hang of eating ribs so he enjoyed it.
From left to right: pork shoulder, pork loin, pork ribs. Need to remember to take after pictures before eating occurs (pork loin only example)
Peas and green beans, tomato basil chicken sausage and roasty toasty potatoes all topped with Bisto.
PO-TA-TOES
Shrimp, snow peas, ginger, garlic, scallions, sesame seed
Sauce: chicken broth, soy sauce, dry sherry, lil sugar, white pepper & corn starch
Rice
One of my go-tos that we can eat for two days and they can take it in their lunch boxes! third photo w Sriracha for Daddy.
Made with small coldwater shrimp from Trader Joe’s, a can of coconut milk, some oregano / basil / garlic powder and regular elbow pasta in about half an hour!
Easy enough for kids to make too! If you have enough people, you can prep a wider variety of ingredients for a build-your-own temaki bar. Raw fish, imitation crab, unagi, cucumber, cream cheese, tamago, etc.
Prosciutto, chorizo, jalapeño, onion, cheddar, mozzarella, American omelette with thick cut bacon and crispy rösti.
* Miso paste into 4 cups of fish stock, bring to simmer
* add lime zest, hot peppers, and ginger
* let simmer before adding salmon filet
* cook for 10 minutes until almost completely cooked
* remove salmon, add baby broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, simmer for a minute or two
Serve:
* break up salmon into chunks
* add broth with veggies
Salmon will finish cooking to full temp in the broth as you serve it
Made a massive amount of fish tacos, fresh salsa and allllll the sides yesterday for all the dads. Today? Today is just for us!
Ribeye, lemon/garlic/parm zucchini, a blooming onion and copycat sauce, and French onion soup.
He had ravioli.
