Sticky beef with rice. Cheep, fast, and kinder than the world outside.

Sometimes dinner is just garlic, butter, noodles, and a sprinkling of cheese. Turns out that's enough.

The world's unraveling, and I can't stop it. But I can still stir, season, and taste. Swedish meatballs tonight. A small comfort that says I'm still here.

This curry chicken salad tastes like I have my life together. I don't. It's just avoidance with seasoning.

Lemon orzo with chicken, so good I almost forgot to take a picture. Bright, simple, gone in 60 seconds.

Today calls for chocolate banana muffins. Everyday calls for chocolate bananas muffins. I tried to answer, but my voicemail is full of messages from muffins that never made the cut.

I'm just a home cook, no linked recipe, but this is a classic French pot roast using various cuts of lamb. Brown meat, then build your base with onion, carrots, celery, garlic, tomato paste, flour, then deglaze with wine, put back meat, stock, and herbs. Cook in covered pot at 325°F for 3-4 hours 🤗

Mystery frozen lamb cuts as a gift? Best way to return the favor is with wine, herbs, and pretension. Serve it back as French pot roast.

The government shuts down, people suffer, chicken and waffles remain. A dish born of struggle, carried through Harlem and the South, a reminder that survival has always come from the people.

Vietnam’s vermicelli bowls tell the story better than textbooks. Hanoi’s grill smoke, Saigon’s sugar, and refugees’ resilience. The West ignored the war stories but never turned down the noodles.

Most Halloween food is gross theater. Sine at Food Bites makes it appetizing and proof you don't need "vomit dip" to keep festive.

Nothing says millennial like paying $16 for avocado toast, regret, and disappointment. I made mine for less than $3 with chicken. Same existential dread, less markup.

Cleaning out the fridge? Take a page from @kenjilopezalt.bsky.social crispy roasted potatoes and turn your fridge scraps into something edible. Creativity tastes better with salt and char.

Saturday morning pancakes, a sticky middle finger to the 24-hour outrage cycle. Pass the denial, it tastes like maple.

Made too much romesco? What are you, a line cook in Barcelona? Forget Spain, locals don't want you there anyway.

Toss it with chicken, carrots, potatoes, an apple, and those tasty golden curry cubes for a Japanese-style curry.

Did your neighbor give you a ridiculous amount of tomatoes and peppers from their garden? Did your other neighbor give you another loaf of bread because they're practicing baking? Why not make Romesco Chicken?? Serve with slightly less burnt toast! 💙

Would Tony be upset that I posted a vegan dish? Yes, but I also think he needed to eat less meat and embrace the veggie
