Leftovers from last night... too hungry to take a pic yesterday!

So... here we have a roasted chicken leg quarter (beau monde seasoning), with mixed vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes made with REAL BUTTER and WHOLE milk. There IS no substitute!

Nice. Two good looking plates of food. I was at a friends house earlier this evening and we breaded some tilapia fillets and pan fried them. They were on sale, $1.99/lb. Then heated up tortillas and made tacos. Squeezed a little lemon on top and that's all it needed.

Keep the pics coming, especially the entire process - and the recipe. Cheers!

Another great addition would be bell peppers, or maybe mushrooms.

But don't buy stirfry sauce! Make your own!

You will need:

1/4 cup Soy sauce
1-2 Tbsp Corn starch (Flour can be substituted, but the finished sauce won't look as good)
1/8 cup Vinegar (or something acidic)
1/8 cup Sugar (or something sweet like honey, corn syrup, etc.)
1 to 1.5 cups water
2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional if you like it hot)
1 tsp sesame oil (optional, but very good)

Just mix together all of the above ingredients in a bowl and when you have all your meat and veg cooked, turn the burner up to high for about thirty seconds or so and then dump the mixture in and turn off the heat. Residual heat should boil out most of the water and leave you with a nice thick, tasty sauce. You can condense the sauce even further if you want by giving it a little more heat until you get it where you want it.

The beauty of it is that you can play around with what you are using to make the sauce. Maybe more soy sauce is your thing, maybe some garlic or onion powder. Perhaps some cayenne? You can even use orange or pineapple juice as your sweet (but cut back on the water). Just be sure to balance sweet, salt, and acidic.

chopped garlic and onion go in the pan with butter and olive oil salt/pepper.
then i threw in chopped bacon raw and lunchmeat turkey and cooked it up with some home grown dry basil, dry parsley, curry powder, onion powder and paprika.
then in goes carrots, red bell pepper, and a potatoe that was microwaved for 2 mins.
last in goes an egg, some milk, and frozen mixed veggies (corn, lima beans, peas, carrots) and cooked it up till all the liquid was gone and the veggies were done but not mushy.

Looks good Floridasucks. Stoner hash/goulash? That's hilarious - I get creative when I get high and hungry.

Awesome cupcakes Earthtone! I've never made those before. I remember when cupcakes started becoming "chic". I went to a wedding reception where they had awesome cupcakes rather than a traditional wedding cake. Sweet.

Hopefully I'll be in the mood to cook this weekend and document the process. Cheers.

Tusseltussel, you just made me think back to my childhood. My mom sometimes made stuffed acorn squash with the ground meat mixture. If you get a hankering to make it again, post pics of the process along with the recipe. Good cooking.
