Being Lazy...

I made this dish because of my kitchen buddy and roommate Brendan. His dad has some great fresh fish in his shop and Brendan was always nice enough to bring me something good. So the night he brought me some tiger shrimp and I was in heaven! They were pretty big and so juicy! I just ran out of Alfredo sauce so I improvised... I made a sauce out of sour cream, spinach, onions, and garlic. Brendan hates white sauces but he loved this one. Have you ever improvised a dish? What was in it?

Guys Night!

So I found a recipe for cream cheese dough in a cook book my friend Ian got me one year for Christmas called "Mad Hungry". I love this book! I use it a lot. But yeah... I stuffed these little babies with chicken and homemade sweet and sour sauce. I had a "Guys Night" where we just chilled and watched TV. They are great for parties are little get togethers. What kind of finger foods are you favs to munch on at a get-together?

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?
