Onion raisin relish situation. Will go on a crostini. Used a little Prime Thyme from @tastytin.com in addition to the fresh thyme. Yummy 😋

One of my fave chilly weather dishes. Top with a nice bit of sliced scallions and cilantro. Delicious. And spicy 🌶️ Kimchi stew with tofu.

Lemon pesto. I adore this stuff. Never knew it existed until @phillyfillylive.bsky.social mentioned it in a recipe. I found a recipe online and it’s the STUFF!!! Delicious. Will use in an herby zucchini pasta dish on Thursday.

Pizza sauce going down today. I’m being decadent and am having pizza twice next week. Easy peasy after all the thanksgiving food and prep.
It’s a secret family recipe. Chosen family, that is. 😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰 @brat2381.bsky.social

Sharing affordable meals:
Pasta (I used the last of reg and whole wheat), frozen peas, mint from my garden, heavy cream leftover from another meal this week (or sour cream). Garlic, lemon, seasonings, etc. So delicious and so inexpensive. Probably a couple bucks a serving.

In fact, hubs worked from home Monday so 3 little trees are up. Naked, yes, but getting a head start 😂😂😂

Soup weather baby 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌. Beans, greens and tuna soup 🍜. With a lovely squeeze of lemon. So tasty. And I ate way too much of it 😁😁

Table decor “done”. Just have to put out the plates a few days before.

One of our friends here did this -sorry to say I didn’t note who. Thank you to whoever. I don’t think it was the ramen king @icookfood2023.bsky.social but might have been. So delicious on a rainy evening. Was supposed to mound the tofu but wanted it to absorb some of that amazing broth goodness.

It’s happening @icookfood2023.bsky.social 🍜🍜😁😁😁

Cheap meal - 2 people, 2 very large servings. 3 russet potatoes whipped, kale bunch - could use spinach, collards, etc, 2 scallions, 6 Costco frozen shrimp each. Herb/Spice profile of choice. Around 5-6 bucks a serving.

Pro tip - don’t put cheap giveaway water bottles in the dishwasher.

Cheap pantry meal. Onions & peppers (which I froze), can or dried black beans, can or frozen corn. Tortillas (I froze). Jar salsa/hot sauce. Protein of choice. Did scrambled eggs tonight. Could do beef strips, shrimp, chicken, cheese, even potatoes. Add cilantro for freshness.

Did I put on a Christmas movie while cooking tonight? Why yes? Yes I did.

Made it home. Nothing more than the normal travel delays and stress.
