Blueberry pancakes and bacon for kids.

Sweet potato and arugula corn tortilla tacos for me and the wife.

Anyone cook Quinoa???

Yes. Very often.

Stuffed porkchops and salad.

Hell yes! Quinoa is Awesome.

Do you make your own tortillas?

No. We buy these sprouted corn tortillas from the natural food store.

Didn't get a pic of it and I regret it... Had two tri-tips to split between four people so I cubed them, wrapped each cube in half-a-slice-of-bacon (so it guess it was Butter-Seasoned-Bacon-Wrapped-Tri-Tip-Cubes!!!) and it was awesome. Before I wrapped and toothpicked each cube I coated each cube on melted butter with Montreal Steak steasoning. Then I brushed the same on while on the grill.

Add a sliced ripe tomato as a side (olive oil, salt and pepper applied atop!!), and WOW, it was AWESOME!!

It's going to happen again VERY soon! Like the 4th! I was going to compete shrimp and wings....I think I just changed my mind!

Chicken Tikka Masala

It's "Masala."

You're correct, tablet auto corrected.

Look's good.

Bell peppers stuffed with ground turkey and sautéed vegetables.

After going with about 20 pounds of braised short ribs for company last week, I had a much smaller group to feed tonight. We went with salsa chicken over rice, and then hit the local ice cream place for desert.

Its not a pic of ours, but similar.

I love Indian food.

Very similar to what I had. HOBO Dinner around the fire pit with my family. It was the first time for everyone except me. These were a staple 25 years ago when going camping/fishing with my high school buddies.

Never tried it. Is there a place you recommend getting it that isn't super expensive? I looked at Safeway but didn't seem like much for what you were paying.

You can buy in bulk at our natural food store. Not sure how cheap it will be if Whole Foods is your only option, though.

I tried it once and think I didn't prepare it right. Tasted like I was eating grass clippings.

It generally doesn't have a lot of taste like most grains. The main problem most run into with quinoa is not prewashing it. This can lead to a bitter taste. That being said, a lot of the boxed quinoa is advertised as prewashed, but I wash it anyway. To bring out the natural nuttiness of the grain, you can also toast it slightly before cooking.

Quinoa is great, not necessarily for its flavor, but as a filler. On Sunday's, I'll make a bunch of quinoa, grill a bunch of chicken, roast some vegetables, combine it all with some feta crumbles and put it in individual tupperware. Grab and go lunch to take to work a couple times a week or a quick dinner if pressed for time.

Yeah. Throw a bunch of it in a salad and it turns the salad into a meal. You can make it sweet or savory, and it soaks up about any flavor you expose it to. Extremely versatile ingredient that's healthy.

Hobo packs were awesome growing up

BBQ chile verde. Definitely on point /guyfieri

Damn, that looks great!

Just had a really nice NY strip.

2:45 each side is just about perfect.

Medium?

Thanks 👍

I guess. 'twas pink in the middle.

Undercooked it last time @ 2 per.

We had sauteed chicken breast, with chunky mushroom, onion, fresh garlic and marinara. Salad on the side.

Walked 3 miles to the store get the stuff for it.

Down 30lbs. (Only gained 2 over the holiday).

Very well done Sir...

Costco sells a large bag at a decent price.

Fasting today, so not much.

Filet Mignon and 2 pound Lobster tails.

Went to a Chinese buffet, and for the millionth time (today) question why my parents didn't abort me with a rusty hanger....

Grilled turkey and swiss on white with honey mustard and a Michelina's (some REAL gourmet) cheese ravioli doctored with a bit of olive oil, milk, real butter and oregano... then nuked to PERFECTION, with a side of Lays regular.

Read it and WEEP bitches!

Inmem58 strikes as a bit of a redneck, but he's got pretty sophisticated cooking skills. I'm impressed.

Not every NASCAR fan is a redneck lol jk, but thanks for the compliment. I take cooking serious, I wish I could take up cooking classes are pursue my career in culinary. Just never worked out like I hoped.

You should go for it bro, you have skills.

Your young, you got time. Go for it.

I know, I would have to live in San Fran or Los Angeles. That's the biggest downfall into making this decision. I really want no part of Los Angeles and I still haven't found a way to afford SF and go to school at the same time. Very complicated.

Oh, I thought you lived in LA?

And yea, I couldn't afford to live in SF, just working and not going to school.

I live about 2 hours away from Los Angeles maybe a little less and 3.5 hours away from San Fransisco. Bakersfield CA is where I live.

Online classes to get started or at least get your feet wet?

s0o you can't just instagram it ?

Spent the day on the water scalloping so tonight...


Fresh-caught bay scallops, home-grown basil, spicy garlic tomato sauce over penne pasta. Awesome.

I grilled cod for fish tacos. Pineapple salsa with red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, habanero. Corn tortillas and grilled corned on the cob. Mojitos for a drink.

marinaded for 24 hours

We had burgers inspired by the burger thread. Only I cooked them on cast iron instead of grilling out due the rain.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/15/gy9ypy5y.jpg

Pan-seared tuna (over the searing burner), grill-fired avacado, bacon-wrapped asparagus, and grilled butter potatos. Oh, and salad... And a healthy glass of Merlot... :)

Marinated grilled flank steak, baked potatoes, corn, romaine salad and strawberry shortcake.

Ugh!!!

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/18/jy4avajy.jpg

Flank steak, grilled avacados, grilled bananas, grilled onions, grilled potatoes... Freaking awesome...

Shrimp Tacos.

First time making Chicken Parmigiana. Didn't turn out too bad....I put a little too much garlic in the sauce though.

Can't post pic, not enough posts.

Keep trying to post naked women pics until it lets you. When it does, you're good to go... Hey, that's what I was told...

Chicken Parmesan

Tonight was leg of lamb, couscous and sauteed summer squash. We had a Cotes du Rhone wine to go along with it.

Yep, thats beautiful, you know how to live... but skip the merlot and drink some beer.

Homemade pappardelle alla boscaiola. First try at homemade pasta, and it turned out well.

That's awesome. I don't make my own, but when I have fresh pasta, it's AWESOME. Woot to you Sir..

Paella with chicken, chorizo, and shrimp.

That looks nice. I'm eating a grilled pulled pork sandwich. Some kind of whole grain homemade bread my mom made. It's delicious but probably not any kind of culinary experiment.

Went to BBQ ace called Salty's. Had a pulled pork sammich with a heap of coleslaw on top, beans and a pork rib. Best place we have in this no BBQ'in town.

Very nice... Rep for you Sir...

I started things off with chips and homemade guacamole, then moved on toe Jucy Lucies, potato wedges (from scratch), and corn on the cob (lime and parmigiana seasoned). They were all pretty awesome...

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/13/avy6ute2.jpg


Country style pork ribs with creamer potatoes with beautiful colorful peppers (no homo).

What is a jucy Lucy

What are creamer potatoes?
Posted via Mobile Device

Very small potatoes.

Bed of garlic wilted kale, quinoa, garbanzo beans, heirloom tomato, feta, and a lemon vinaigrette for dinner.

Rep for you sir.. That looks yummy!

It's where the cheese is on the inside... Two thin patties, a hunk of your favorite cheese (and a dab of butter in my case) in between..

Someone posted/messaged me rub recommendations and smoking tips for smoking some awesome ribs. This was over a year ago and I can't seem to find what was recommended. I think it might have been Glorydayz??? It included some mustard initially and some honey near the end among some various other ingredients in the rub. I've made them twice and people just raved how good they were. Can anyone help me out?

Tonight I had roasted red peppers, Parmesan crusted fried chicken, and corn on the cob. Damn good.

Scratch that. I found it.

And it was from Glorydayz. Thanks man!

Chinese buffet... One more tick on the "kill myself" side of the ledger!

Leftover ribs, corn on the cob, potato salad and slaw.

Italian meat balls, large cut mushrooms, onions and yellow squash all covered in red pasta sauce. Did not have pasta, although it would have been freaking great with it.
