Brown pizza. Brown food. Look, idk if this belongs here, should I crosspost? Is it just spammy when I do that? Anyway. I'm cleaning my stove so I can get it dirty again.

I continue to not have normal things like cheese or sausage. I do have ground beef. I had some leftover shredded onion and a red bell pepper from when I made this, browned em with the meat (!) then made a brown sauce (!!) and added some minced garlic with oat milk, a fuckton of seasoning including salt, cumin, buncha pepper powders, garlic onion, zatar. maybe mustard powder? paprika? a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar? i actually made this a while ago now, sry im guessing. thickened it with like 1/4 cup of flour and a spoonful of arrowroot powder, but corn starch would work.

piizza dough. ssauce. it looks awful but holy FUCK it was good.

you can't tell me it doesn't look like i yarfed into my pan and then tossed that in the oven. im sorry. im sorry. these are things you only notice in the pictures afterward because everything was so fragrant and delicious in the moment. sorry.

yes... yeeesss... the pizza sizzles...

The only protein I have right now is beans. I already had beans and rice yesterday and want to pretend I'm eating a varied diet. I'm out of bread and didn't wanna wait while making more. Pancake bean burgers, you are my answer.

I don't have exact measurements, but if I had to guess, the recipe I use is:

1/4 cup cooked black beans

2 TBSP corn meal

1 TBSP flour

And that's... kinda all you need to make a burger that won't fall apart. I dunno what it is about the corn meal, but in my experience it's absolutely vital or the burger disintegrates when I try to flip it, no matter how much extra flour I use.

The rest of this is just seasoning to my taste.

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp zatar seasoning

Bean burgers can also be hugely elevated by throwing in some minced veggies (onions, garlic, peppers, etc, also consider sautéing them with a tiny amt of oil first because more liquid = more fragile burger), but tbh I just didnt feel like it.

That's only enough for like 1-2 burgers, so multiply for however many you want. Mash all that up with a fork and you're set!

I treat it kinda like a smash burger. Get the pan to about a medium heat, throw in some oil and an appropriately sized ball of bean, then in the pan you can use the same fork you used to mash the beans to further shape it into a burger. Give it at least 5 mins before you flip it; I usually go closer to 10 cuz I like it crispy.

I put the burger on a pancake "bun," grabbed some kimchi out the fridge, and bam, I got a meal I can pretend is healthy and it only took like 3 minutes of labor and 15 minutes of waiting! (not including the time I spent making pancakes but that's also pretty quick, and definitely way faster than making bread.) Hopefully it's also juuust pretty enough to be worth posting :)

Honestly? Not my finest work. But still pretty tasty. I see other pizzas here and I'm all about pushing the envelope, so here we go.

The choc and sugar start to char way before the dough does, so even though it's fully cooked, it's not as done as I would like. I pre-cooked the dough in the oven for about 5 mins before putting the sauce on, but I guess that wasn't long enough. Maybe 10 next time. Also I could just put on extra sauce. Of course you have to eat a piece when it's right out of the oven, but this pie actually shines out of the fridge, once the chocolate forms a nice hard shell.

so.... even though it's not perfect....... it's perfect. it rly is.

you can see this was actually a while ago, i still had some leftover regular pizza!

Basically this recipe, with a few minor mods.

I've got a bunch of egg wash I'm trying to use, so I rolled a few dough balls in that and then sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar. really good wow!

finished off the dinner roll dough that's been chilling in the fridge since last week. dipped in egg wash, rolled in topping, 1hr rise, careful egg brush, added sliced garlic, baked at 350F for 25 mins.

For some reason they decided to rise straight up instead of outward. maybe i wasnt careful enough with the egg brush? whatever, Tall buns are still tasty!

i only used 1 egg for the egg wash but i still have more, and its like over a week old now. guess i gotta make more

Cheese linguine:
CHeese (cheddar, shredded), 1tbsp oat milk, arrowroot powder. use much salt, i did less than a tbsp though. mix. i also add many powders like peppers, cumin and mustard. stovetop simmering is probably the smart move... i microwaved this poor fella but it worked really good! and it was so fast, like wow. technology!

oven toasted pumpkin + sunflower seeds in the toaster oven.

add linguine. mix. add a bunch of black pepper and decorative parsley on top for the pic. ig ive a 10/10!

This was a while ago, but I made a loaf of challah, and having had success with babka in the past, decided why not…

This was a while ago, but I made a loaf of challah, and having had success with babka in the past, decided why not. Melted some baking choc and thoroughly mixed in sugar and honey. I actually made two loaves: the one in the pic was the first one. For it I just flattened the logs, spread the chocolate in like peanut butter, then pinched the logs shut (though they split back open during rising, I figured it would look pretty and I Meant To Do That). But for the second loaf, when the chocolate had cooled down, it had basically turned into chocolate play dough! It was remarkable how non-sticky this log of sugar and chocolate became. I guess just go heavy on the sugar, refrigerating it would probably also help, but I just had it sitting on the counter!

The egg wash spots are unfortunate. Sometimes if I'm not careful I deflate the loaf with the brush, so I err on the side of caution, but if you brush it before the rise then the egg wash doesn't cover the newly risen parts, and the spotting is even worse. maybe i should brush both before and after the rise idk

oh hey, found some more pics of the other loaf. this one DID deflate a bit lmao

apologies if this is counts as a repost, just trying to figure out how crossposting works. i did edit the op with more pics if you already saw it earlier.

pretty happy with these. white bread + 1 flax egg and - less than 1/4 cup water. the ones that are properly coated…
