On several other forums, they have food threads. We have the on-the-road food thread but not an at home thread. So, without further adieu, post up what is cooked, smoked, grilled and so on at your domicile.

Last night, Pretty Pillion made some awesome soup for the cold weather; it is called Nilaga. In it is beef ribs, green beans, corn on the cob, potatoes, onions, salt and pepper corns.

This is so wholesome and delicious!

That looks good! Throw corn on the cob on anything and I am eating it. I will be back with pics soon.

It is so good to be home from the frozen mountains. We ate good while there as each of my coworkers took turns cooking our supper.
Pretty Pillion saw a dish cooked for us one night, Shepards Pie, and decided she wanted to make it tonight. She nailed it first try!
She sauteed the onions, garlic and then added the ground beef and thyme, rosemary, parley.

She boiled the taters

Added peas, carrots and corn to the meat mix.

The taters got a stick of butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper, half and half and cheddar cheese.

The meat is cooked down now.

meat mix goes into the baking dish

Add the tater covering

Smooth it out

Bake it for 30 minutes

Feed it to Boog

That looks great. I love Shepherds Pie. The version my family makes is very similar but the beef goes in the bottom by itself then cans of corn are poured over in a middle layer before the taters are on top. I’ll try it like you did next time.

This is the perfect time of year for it. I can verify for my Texas brothers, if you shovel snow for a couple hours, a bowl of ShepPie may well be remembered as the best food you ever ate.

Back when Virginia used to have winter, I can verify that after shoveling snow for three hours, a Dark Hollow 28oz bottle of beer will sit you down real good and comfy...

Up here it is common to have whiskey in your coffee before you head out to clear the snow. Also had a cup while you try to start the snow blower, and while you fix the snow blower, and while you snow blow. I had to buy a new snowblower as I could no longer afford the whiskey required to keep it running.

Fired up the smoker. Making bacon wrapped bacon. Peameal bacon wrapped in bacon strips and in the smoker now with some baked beans.

 

[Tinsnips]

Well those aren’t in the right order but you get it. Will post the finished product in a while.

[Tinsnips]

Tell Carla it is better the second day. Gives you till tomorrow around dinner to get up here.

I recently discovered that Pretty Pillion has only had lasagna once before and couldn't remember if it was good or not! This must be fixed immediately!!!
So, I made lasagna last night after work.

She loved it and I gained 2.5# from overeating.

Sure looks good.

Sure looks good.

It is indeed. Now to figure out how not to overeat and gain extra weight...

 

[Tinsnips]

Well done. That looks great!

Now to figure out how not to overeat and gain extra weight...

If you figure that out let us overeaters know. I seem to gain a pound a day at least. Somedays more.
