Manly Meal

I'm a big man. I need my food to be fulfilling not a tease. I made this dish because it was getting to be Autumn and I was craving some of my Grandma's Beef Stew. Unfortunately she pasted the year before so I was S.O.L. Thank the universe that she taught me how to cook! Brendan and I went out and grabbed some thick steaks (sirloin) and some baby potatoes. The broth for this stew is homemade beef broth and tomato paste. This dish would definitely be a great slow-cooker meal. (Maybe going a repeat/ re-eat this week) You can pour this baby over rice or mash, but it's so chuncky that you could eat it solo! This is a man's stew! But women are welcome to eat as well.  Gotta show love to the ladies ^_^ What's a "manly" food that you eat when you need a man-check? 

It's Okay to be a Fatty Sometimes

We all have those days when all we want is to stuff our faces with the greasiest, cheesiest, slop we can get our chubby hands on. This dish goes out to all my fatties! It is a Hamburger Bun. I adapted this recipe from something similar to my love Kate's recipe for some meat pocket thingy. (Which is delicious and will most likely to be posted on the blog soon.) This is a bread-type dough stuffed with cooked ground beef, cheese, peppers, caramelized onions, and seasoned and BAKED (gotta be a lil healthy lol)  to perfection. I love, love, love, hand-foods. What is one of your fav grab-go foods?

Crazy Kitchen Mess

One night early in the Winter Term at Drexel, I was craving a little pizza. But I didn't have the funds to buy a large pie, and in this neighborhood all the toppings had pork in it! So I decided to work with what I already had in the fridge. I figured that pizza dough and biscuit dough is basically the same... right?... ok. But, yeah. I hadn't rolled dough in years, so I made a gigantic mess in my suite's kitchen! I knew my roommates were going to be quietly pissed at me lol. So I made two large pizzas with turkey sausage and black olives! The loved it and didn't yell at me about the flour coating the kitchen haha. I love strange pizza toppings! What's one f your favs?
