OOO this is a fun topic! I love cooking and experimenting with new ingredients! I recently subscribed to Misfits Market, which is a company based on the East Coast of the US that "rescues" so-called "ugly" produce (oversized, undersized, or misshapen) and produce that could not sell at market or to grocery stores. Since I do not know what I will receive from week to week, I have to get creative!

Tonight, I used a Java apple, two yellow onions, a bunch of green mizuna (AKA Japanese mustard greens), some russet potatoes, and some carrots from my delivery. I seared some boneless pork chops in a skillet, then combined diced onion and apple with chicken stock concentrate and cinnamon in the same skillet to make a savory and sweet autumn topping. I sautéed the mizuna with onion slices and some chicken broth and balsamic vinegar. I cut the potatoes into steak fries and cut the carrots into long spears and roasted them with salt, pepper, and olive oil. It was a hit with my partner!

For lunch today, I combined the beets and radishes from my shipment and roasted them. In the last few minutes of roasting, I added some small-diced red onion. I topped that off with the pomegranate seeds from the pomegranates I received in my delivery. I then allowed it to cool. It was so flavorful and sweet that I didn't even need dressing, though some raspberry vinaigrette may have dressed it up a bit!

I made some shepherd's pie. It was a hit with my kids and my dearest friend. Simple but delicious it was all the more tastier because we shared a meal with loved ones.

I really want to make some pignoli cookies for the holidays! They are pricey I will say that. But so worth it. :)

Well first off, I want to start by saying Happy Thanksgiving y'all.

But today in the kitchen, I cooked a 4 lb. bird all by myself. I know it's not really rocket science and anyone can do it, but it's just the idea of being 23 and being able to do things myself. Which I know I'm not the only one that can cook at this age tho... Made some stuffing, spinach, green beans, and gravy. :)

Tonight's dinner is bone-in pork chops. Currently have them salted and sitting to come to room temp. Will pat them dry and coat in a mix of mayo and pesto to marinate while I get the potatoes going to boil (going to mash them). Also roasting some broccoli in the oven with garlic and lemon and will hit it with some parmesan when it gets out of the oven. The pork chops are going to be pan seared and finished in the oven.

The mayo is my new favorite thing. I am NOT a fan of mayo but mixing my seasonings in with the mayo and coating the meat actually does great things for the browning. I don't even put oil in the pan, the mayo has plenty of fat for that.

Dessert is going to be more chocolate chip cookies. Made a batch of dough the other night and I just bake a few cookies each night for us to enjoy with milk while they are still warm. This batch has a cup of dark chocolate, a cup of semisweet chocolate, and 1/2 of espresso chips. I am not a fan of the espresso chips from Nestle. The idea is sound but the chips are terribly bitter on their own. With the other chocolates it works.

I made chicken wings and French fries, in the air fryer. I just bought a new-bigger one. This was the first use. They turned out pretty good.
