So there's that dude, used to be an Iron Chef, I think, that does YouTube videos about making cool, tasty food out of fast food and shit like that. A few weeks ago, I was bumbling through the grocery store and had the thought: "What if I tired to make cool, tasty food out of a tv dinner?" So I went over to the freezer section and found all sorts of options that...really didn't look that bad. So then I thought, "Are Kid Cuisines still a thing?" Turns out they are, and I decided to do something fun with with the all star nuggets with mac and "cheese," corn, and the brownie. Of course, when you open it up, it looks a bit different. Everything was frozen and looked...odd.  So I tossed it in the microwave for a minute to at least melt it down some and came up with a plan: I would remove the breading from the nuggets. The nuggets would be cubed and mixed into the mac and cheese with some seasoning. The nugget breading would be crisped up in the oven, the...

Just so I get to cook a breakfast like this for someone else. I decided I wanted a veggie omelet for breakfast this morning, and, since I'm a grown-ass man, I made myself a veggie omelet for breakfast this morning. I diced up a baby bella mushroom and a little orange bell pepper, sliced a few small tomatoes, halved and sliced a garlic clove (that's 44 pieces of garlic like a boss), and chopped half a kale leaf for my filling. Started off with about a tablespoon of butter melted in my non-stick pan. The garlic went in first and cooked until it was just about softened, then I added the tomato pieces and let them simmer with a dash of salt until the skins just started to wrinkle.

Once the greenery was in, I seasoned with another dash of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper, and, when the kale had wilted a bit, I removed it all from the pan. Meanwhile, I beat 3 eggs with a fork in a b...

Tonight was chicken breakdown night again. Due to getting my chicken from a different store (stinking time constraints...), I had one that came with the liver, too, so that meant an extra snack while cooking. For dinner, I cooked up the tenderloins, and I used the skin, oysters, and liver as a cooktime snack since I got home an hour later than usual. I seasoned all the snack pieces with some salt and pepper. I heated up some butter and olive oil in my pan and went skin first. After the bottom side had browned, I flipped it and added the oysters and liver. I just kind of took everything out one at a time as they were finished cooking. It was a delicious snack. Next, I cooked up the tenderloins. They're pretty straightforward ( ahem ). My flora tonight were baby bella mushrooms, onion, garlic, celery, basil, parsley, orange bell pepper, and two Campari tomatoes (that I didn't decide to add until much later). The mushrooms were sliced, the onion, celery, and pepper were diced, the...
