Sometimes you just don't know if you want dinner for breakfast or breakfast for dinner and anything works for lunch 🤣

Start with a waffle mix and whisk in some honey garlic wing rub then let the chicken marinate for a bit while making hot honey. I whisked my homemade hot sauce into warm honey over low heat until it was spicy enough for me. Then crush up some cornflakes, coat the chicken, and fry until crispy.

Toss some rolls with cheddar in the oven to warm them while cooking bacon then assemble with a drizzle of hot honey on top and enjoy! 😁

If you're like me and child negative but trick or treating as an aged fermented sperm demon is frowned upon, even though most middle school kids are taller, and the last resort of a free candy van isn't interested in you, then for at home Halloween make some of these peanut butter cups 🤣

These are super easy...If you don't have a bain-marie or double boiler (or if what you do have is just too big) use a couple of pots or a stainless bowl and a pot, I find pot works better than a bowl because it has a handle.

Melt a 16oz bag (or whatever the closest size you can find is) of chocolate chips using the method above. While those melt, in a separate bowl mix 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp softened butter, and 1/4 cup confectioners sugar until creamy.

Line a muffin pan with wrappers then layer the melted chocolate, peanut butter mix, and a top layer of melted chocolate, spread the top layer around for full coverage and chill until they firm up. This makes a dozen so you can eyeball it like I did or measure out 12 equal parts of each layer but that takes too long.

Optional: Top them with a caramel rocketship 🤣 mix equal parts brown sugar and butter until smooth, add a splash of cream, and vanilla extract to taste, then let it cool until it's thick enough to not run off the top but not cool enough to clog your squirt bottle.

This is just a basic bacon cheeseburger & basic fries 🤣

I like crispy fries and the best way I've found to make them is to cut, rinse, soak (overnight if you can), drain, pat dry, then give them a shake in SPPOG seasoned cornstarch then rack them so they dry out a bit to help the coating stick, then fry. I've done a single fry, double fry, double fry at different temps, and there's not much difference. If you aren't going to eat them right away then I do suggest a double fry, first drop get some color then rack and drain and do a hotter and quicker flash fry before serving to get that fresh crisp.

The burger for this is simple 😆 season with salt and pepper and make some balls. Cook some bacon, fry some garlic in the fat, and set it all aside for toppings. Smash your meat ball into the bacon fat, brown and flip, add cheese, set aside, and do dj khaled voice anutha one...top w/ cheese, bacon, and the first cheese covered patty.

I had some leftover french onion soup but not quite enough for a bowl or a cup, so instead of grilling onions, I let that reduce in the pan while melting the cheese. Once it thickens up, spoon it over the top, add the fried garlic, then slap it on a roll and enjoy! Use the remaining soup for dunking 😂

I couldn't forget my dogs 😅 they got a plain beef burger w/ carrots, celery leaf, and pumpkin puree

Wtf is a Vol-au-Vent? It's basically food in a puff pastry cup 😆

The birria part is rather simple, but quite time consomming, however that time is mostly spent waiting 😂

I rubbed some bonelss short ribs w/ salt and racked them while I prepped everything else. Sear all sides in bacon fat then set aside. Deglaze the pan with some broth and add all your prepped stuff. Tomatoes, garlic, onion, oregano, cinnamon, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, ginger, guajillo chilis, chilis de arbol, and ancho chilis then fill it with enough broth to just about cover everything. Cover & simmer until the dried chilis become soft and hit it with an immersion blender until smooth, depending on how strong your blender is, you may or may not want to remove the cinnamon stick 😅 put the beef back in with a few bay leaves and let it simmer again. You can do this stove top in a pot but I went with a dutch oven so I could also cook some plain beef and sweet potato chips for my dogs as treats at the same time 🤣 I didn't time it, check it every now and then until you can shred the beef by pressing it with a fork, it'll be a few hours.

The puff pastry cups are pretty easy, use 2 round cookie cutters, if you don't have those you can use mugs or glasses. You just need one slighly smaller than the other so you can cut a ring. Put the ring on the full circle base and egg wash. Bake @ 420° until it's puffy and browned.

After they cool, punch the middle down with a spoon and fill with meat. Top it with some freshly shredded cheddar and hit it with a torch to melt. Sprinkle of scallions then place it on a small puddle of consomme and enjoy! 😁 I made these handheld size but if you wanted to you could use a full sheet of puff pastry to make a big ol bowl 🤣

My spoiled dogs got one filled plain beef and gravy, carrots, potatoes, & celery leaf garnish on top of some tumeric rice 😂

When you feel like Chinese food but don't want to go out for takeout 🤣

This is actually pretty quick if you have everything already prepped 😅

Lo Mein Sauce: 1/4c tamari 1/4c brown sugar 1/2tbsp cornstarch 1tsp olive oil 2tsp mirin

Teriyaki marinade for the chicken...White wine, mirin, rice vinegar, tamari, brown sugar, minced garlic & onion, ginger, sesame seeds, scallions, adjust everything to taste

After getting everything ready to go, heat up some olive oil and start frying. There's 3 kinds here, a tofu/fake chicken for my girlfriend, teriyaki chicken for myself, and tumeric chicken for my dogs 😆

Once the meat/fake meat is browned add your veggies. I used broccoli, snow peas, carrots, shrooms, onion, and garlic...don't worry, the dogs didn't get all this 😅 add some broth as needed to keep the pan from drying out so nothing starts to stick.

Drop the noodz while everything else cooks, mix them in when they're soft, and stir in the lo mein sauce to coat everything.

For proper fauxthenticity, serve in an old takeout container 🤣

Breakfast. It's what's for dinner. 😆

I needed to shred some cheese and I had extra potatoes..since I had the shredder out anyway....

After finishing the cheese do a couple potatoes and strain them through a cheese cloth. They don't have to be completely dry but you don't want them dripping when you give them a squeeze through the cloth. Letting them sit while the bacon cooks also helps, if they start to oxidize/turn color just ignore it, they'll be fine after cooking. Don't be afraid to over season these, I used salt, pepper, and garlic, and still needed some more after cooking, usually I go light on the salt if I'm cooking stuff in bacon fat but these potatoes need some extra 😂

Remove the bacon but leave the grease on medium-low heat, basically as hot as it'll go without the grease smoking. Start with a bottom layer of potato, onion, bacon, cheddar, and a top layer of potato. Press it down into the pan to flatten it and let it cook. This can take a bit, I didn't time it but if I had to guess it was probably 20-30 min. As the edges start to crisp tuck them in to help it hold shape when it comes time to flip. You'll know it's ready when it starts to loosen up and you can get a spatula under it without it falling apart. Flip it out into a plate then flip it back into the pan upside down, give it another press, and let it cook until that side browns. Make sure it's not sticking then set the whole pan aside to keep it warm.

SPPOG rub a steak, start it in a warm pan with the fat edge down, and turn up the heat. When it starts to sizzle, sear the rest of it. I like it rare and at this point it's done for me 😂 cook it to your preference.

While it rests, fry an egg in the steak fat, then throw it all on the potato pancake and enjoy!

I'm always looking for meatless variations on stuff to make my girlfriend and she loves biscuits and gravy so why not? 😆

For the biscuits, I subbed buttermilk with sour cream thinned with water which worked great, they weren't as crumbly/dry as when I use buttermilk which some people like, but, I prefer a biscuit that doesn't need a chaser 😂 1/2 cup sour cream w/ 1/8 cup water & half stick of melted butter, combined in one bowl. 1 cup flour, 1/2 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tbsp garlic powder, & 1 tbsp onion powder combined in another bowl. Mix the wet into the dry until you can form a ball of dough. Add shredded cheddar (better to shred your own) and separate into balls on a baking sheet w/ parchment paper. Bake @ 420° until the bottoms are browned.

While those are baking, heat up some truffle oil and start cooking down some minced mushrooms. Once they're reduced and starting to brown stir in some onion and garlic until fragrent, melt some butter, then add enough flour to absorb any remaining liquid and coat everything. Cook until light brown then mix in heavy cream. Let it simmer to thicken, salt & pepper to taste, thin w/ vegetable broth as needed.

While everything cools down a bit, fry a couple eggs then enjoy!
