Coconut Curry Chicken. Just simmer some chicken in coconut milk, broth, some diced veggies, curry powder and a little soy sauce and sugar.

My new discovery is Trader Joe's precooked lentils. It makes it easy to make lentil salads: lentils, cucumber, red onion, parsley, tomato, diced olives, and cubed feta or crumbled goat cheese, dressed with salt, pepper, lemon and olive oil. Yummy!

Pizza Rolls with Sriracha. Couldn't ask for more.

Making this tonight for dinner- I have a bunch of leftover chipotles in adobo and cooked bacon in the freezer. Perfect timing.

I'll be making bacon-fat ginger snaps for a cookie exchange.

I don't know what it's called but it came in my knife set. It's like a mini chef's knife, and it is perfect for chopping herbs and smaller veggies.

My trick is to make the sauce thinner than you think you'd need, and then only broil the top until done.

I don't use measurements but I make a roux with 1 stick butter and 1/2 cup flour. Add milk (maybe 4-6 cups?), mustard, hot sauce, and pepper, then add 2 bags (yeah, I know) shredded cheddar cheese. Then add more milk, if needed. Think nacho cheese sauce consistency. Season with salt. Mix it up with about a pound of pasta and top with panko or breadcrumbs and a few pats of butter. It will thicken the more you bake it. I aim for minimal baking for this reason.

Good luck!

I like mine on pizza. I kinda get the heebie jeebies with raw, even though I will eat it if offered.

I love a good skirt steak.
