disclaimer: taking pictures of my food makes me feel v self-conscious and also sort of braggy in a way (not to mention the weird class politics, this is probably why I feel self-conscious) I do not enjoy, but I figure a lot of people are cooking more lately and maybe people like to see recipe results + feedback

my ideal recipe is one that has only a few ingredients and is one that I can also store leftovers easily

I would like to see your pictures.

garlic lime steak and noodle salad

it's a salad so you can put whatever in it obviously, the major substitution I made this time around was using palm sugar instead of brown

that looks delicious

the steak looks perf

basically this

I basically make this all the time!! I finish it with lemon juice & calabrian chile oil, I am extremely pro-spice

delicious trader joe's cinnamon buns that come in a can

trader joe's has great bakeable breakfast pastry options and I highly recommend for those fortunate enough to not be canadian

I will update this plurk as I cook more things

Chicken and Rice Soup with Garlicky Chile Oil Recipe

as you can see, this week's groceries came with kale

there's a comment section person going "dill?" but in fact I use dill in every chicken soup, I recommend it

I substituted water for chicken broth and farro for the rice-- I sauteed it a bit with the onions to toast it

I only made a single batch, since grain soups get mushy, but it's super easy

and I still have my leftovers:

stopped making stuff besides spaghetti and frozen pizza for a bit

I was back to work at my physical jobspace so an adjustment

but today I made soup

this is a really basic recipe from a gwenyth paltrow cookbook I checked out from the library then took a picture of (#lifehack??)

sometimes I roast the tomatoes beforehand a la this recipe from bon appetit, and it's better that way, but sometimes you want a 30 minute soup

sheet pan feast:

I love a sheet pan!!

oh that soup

oh.

soup is good

the problem is that I made soup for the week but now it's turned suddenly very hot

freeze the soup?

that's what is gonna happen if the weather doesn't change again (very possible)

ooh that's a good sheet pan feast

my chicken wing "recipe"

marinade: palm sugar + fish sauce + lime juice blended with cilantro

then you cook them on a sheet pan and glaze with sambal oelek

chicken with emergency rice noodles, because I disastrously burnt the rice

here is my chicken recipe
