So odd! Thank you for letting me know. I’ll try to repost it.

The skillet filled with black pepper tofu and veggies

Experimenting with tofu tonight to make black pepper tofu with brown rice for dinner. I broke the tofu up and boiled it before frying it. I saw the tip on Instagram and had to try it. It turned out so good. Close up shot so you could see the texture 😍🍽️🍜

Here ❤️

Very! Detailed and sometimes with step by step pictures.

A sample page from the cookbook, Umma, showing the recipe for Sigeumchi Gochujang Muchim.

I love that it has pronunciations for each dish and lovely notes from the authors. ❤️

I got you! I can’t wait to dive in.

This is such a beautiful cookbook packed with recipes 😊📚🍜🍽️

It’s so good. I used salsa verde, cream cheese, sour cream, broth, cumin, chili powder, fresh corn, jalapeños, zucchini, yellow squash, onions and garlic. 😍🍽️🍜

The rest of the week:
- black pepper tofu w/stir fried veggies and steamed rice
- lemony garlic grilled chicken w/roasted sweet potatoes and an avocado crema
- Italian pasta salad w/chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, red onion, banana peppers, and parmesan. 🍜😊🍽️

I’d love to do a cook-along!

A stack of pancakes topped with blueberry and apple syrup. Behind it, two sausage patties

Breakfast is apple blueberry wheat pancakes with sausage 😍🍜🥰

Changing my mind. It’s chilly today! So I’m gonna use the same ingredients and make a street corn and zucchini chowder for dinner. I’ll finish it with a salsa verde drizzle. I’ll still make ricotta. Will do something fun with it this week. 😊🍽️🍜

The Hundred-Foot Journey or Ratatouille

Perfect 👌🏼

I love a drink with jalapeno! Tacos look fantastic too.

It was 8 jalapeños, a can of crushed pineapple, a 1/2c of brown sugar and a cup of water. I just cooked it down until it reduced and started to thicken.

It worked! bsky.app/profile/aggi...

Added a little brown sugar which gave it a hint of caramel flavor as it reduced. It’s good! The heat is tingly and warm but not too hot. The sweetness of the pineapple and sugar is lovely. 😊 🍜🍽️

A pan with sliced jalapeños, crushed pineapple and lime juice

Using my first batch of garden jalapeños to make a jam(?). I’ve had a can of crushed pineapple in the pantry for months. Decided to toss sliced peppers in it with the juice of a whole lime. Gonna cook it down and see what happens! It smells so good. May make a drink with it tonight too. 😊🍽️🍜

My plate with egg scramble and toast with jam

Potato, egg and impossible sausage with toasted sourdough and strawberry jam. 😊🍜🍽️

They’re beautiful 😍

Veggies do so well in the air fryer too! I love to cook broccoli, zucchini, carrot fries, sweet potato fries, cauliflower, green beans. They all turn out so well!

Sure! Filling is a 1/2 lb ground turkey, 1 diced potato, 1 chopped onion & 1 jalapeño w/chili powder, cumin, onion, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Cooked & mashed a little bit. Warmed corn tortillas and rolled them w/filling & queso fresco. Air fried at 400 for 12 mins flipping halfway through.

So fun! What kind of cheese are you making?

In case anyone needs to read this:

Yep. That’s exactly how I do it too. Take the bits and pieces and then supplement at the store. Just work through my pantry, fridge and garden.

A sniper from the cookbook “In What Goes with What”: “In What Goes with What, Julia offers the secrets to understanding how to pair, layer, and combine ingredients in ways that transform the contents of your fridge into an exciting meal. Using a series of charts to explain the alchemy of a dish, Julia explores everything from the anatomy of a satisfying salad (base + crunchy thing + rich thing + dressing) to meatballs (meat + binding + seasoning + sauce/glaze) to fruit cobblers (fruit + seasoning/thickener + fat/liquid + dry topping)”

I love this. This is exactly how I think about recipes.

Rainy day tomorrow so I got a few new cookbooks to read 🥰📚

Tomorrow, I think I’m gonna make a dish with creamy polenta topped with fresh ricotta, grilled veggies (zucchini, squash, peppers, onions and tomatoes) and finished with a drizzle of chimichurri. A way to clean out the fridge and use up veggies. And I haven’t made cheese in a while 😊🍽️🍜
