Kept it simple and trying to use up stuff in the house to avoid the grocery bills and to clean out some. 

Instant potted some Parmesan Ranch Chicken from frozen. Boys killed it. 

About 2.7 lbs frozen chicken breasts, a pack and a half of ranch seasoning mix, dollop of Daisy, dollop or two Dukes Mayo, squirt of actual ranch dressing, about a cup of reduced sodium chicken broth, about a cup of milk. Instant pot locked and set for 32 minutes on Meat setting. Quick release then shredded, stirred and added in Parmesan to taste.

African peanut stew topped with cilantro, green onions and roasted cashews - (For those who have not tried making it, it’s well worth it, IMO). Served with naan and a side salad consisting of cucumbers, homemade pickled red onions, goat cheese and a
balsamic glaze. Hit a great balance between rich and savoury and fresh and bright.

Of course you know it is perfectly executed... you know who did it.

I said “expertly”, not “perfectly”. He did forget the apple, after all.

Fair point. However, the apple usually isn't placed in the mouth until after cooking and set up to serve. Here the pig is not quite at the serving table. He still has time to insert an apple.

After the above exchanges, I fear there may be some confusion as to which end the apple goes in.

Lookin sweet but the jaw is too closed for the apple   .

Venison and cheese on low carb spinach wraps

Marinated some sliced up venison cubed steak in Worcestershire, Lemon Juice and Onion Powder. 

In the meantime while waiting for it to do it’s thing, sliced up a radish, then added that to some arugula with a ginger and sesame apple cider vinaigrette as a base for the wrap. 

 

Used the same vinaigrette for the peppers and onions (not pictured) that I sautéed. 

Then tossed the steak back into the pan, layered on the peppers and onions, and finally topped with provolone. Assembled on steamed low carb spinach wraps. Made them big so I ended up only eating one. The other might be a good midnight snack. Pretty good, simple and pretty healthy too.

“I’d like to stick my apple up that” - @SGH, probably

Giving this milk powder thing a try - will report back on how it turns out.

Interesting, haven’t seen this, high temp milk powder? I know that’s good for baking and browning …

Still keeping it simple and healthy. Tuna Piccata on Low Carb Spinach Wrap. Same base arugula salad with shredded radish and chia seed. Tuna piccata had capers, lemon juice, feta cheese, and just a little bit of Mayo. The fresh lemon juice and capers were a nice change of pace.

A few drumsticks with Meat Church’s honey hog & Texas sugar rub. Sides were roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli.

It’s really pretty good.  Enhances the flavor of the crust quite a bit.  I didn’t quite get the sear I wanted (coals just weren’t quite hot enough) and it was still different enough that I noticed it.  I’ll do it again for sure.

Is it the powdered milk I had to endure when I was a child and we were poor?

Never seen that before in my life. My box was blue. My brain may sort circuit if I see that package again. Malt-o-meal cereal+powdered milk was the breakfast of hard times. Being in the bottom of the top 2 percent in the world that is.
