Broke from the news for food videos and kept seeing "Chicken Valdostana" which was new to me. Essentially chicken cutlets with prosciutto, mushrooms, and fontina cheese in a buttery wine sauce. Took ideas from 3 different vids and freestyled it, adding a squirt of lemon. Quite good actually. 🍽️🍜

Brisket Burnt Ends made from previously smoked & frozen brisket points. Added rub and brown sugar, then sauced and smoked another couple hours. Totally Meat Candy.
The Brisket Fairy also visited some neighbors here in Columbus. #CFP 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity

We skipped town right after Christmas for a few days, so we kept that evening simple with Brisket and Butternut Squash Chili (see down page) and a Vegan Chickpea Noodle Soup. Both were super tasty. Recipe for the Vegan 🌱 soup in the comments. 🍽️🍜

I got Kid #1 making a charcuterie platter and Kid #2 making cocktails. They're both off the payroll and in solid relationships with nice people. Life is pretty good.

A great thing about having adult kids is they can staff the hime bar. I had a Spiced Pear Martini and an Espresso Martini with Bourbon Cream. 🍸 Followed by game of "Taboo"

Another #Vegan 🌱 dish. Parsnip Puree, Roasted Carrots and Brussels Sprouts. Topped with olive oil and a balsamic glaze. Great family-style, though inspired by an appetizer at Piccolo Forno in Pittsburgh. 🍽️🍜

We eat a lot of animal protein around here, but have vegans in the family too.🌱 Made a Vegan Cacio e Pepe.
Used Bionaturae pasta which is sourdough-based so good for those sensitive to gluten. Everybody eats!

Brisket and Butternut Squash Chili. Great use of leftover brisket points from the freezer.
I actually made a recipe and won two prizes with it, but I often freestyle this one

Cutting up two Brisket Points from previous cooks to make chili. I tell my wife "There's more here than I can use". She says "Can't you make Burnt Ends with the rest?"
SHE TOTALLY GETS ME!!! ❤️

My sister insisted I take a bunch of their freezer cow home to OH from NC. This is our first dish using something other than ground. Port-Braised Chuck Roast with Star Anise over Polenta. Pressure cooked so it was super tender. Adapted from a Melissa Clark recipe. Cab Franc 🍷

We had a nice Garlic and Olive Oil Pasta (GF) mixed with local Berkshire pork Red Wine and Garlic sausage. Lots of garlic going on. Fortunately we've been married a long time. Mixed green salad with apples, pecans and a shallot dressing 🍽️🍜

My advice for Instant Pot Beef Stew.
- Find any recipe
- Use 1/2 as much Beef
- Add 3x the veggies
- Add 4x the garlic
- Add half a bottle of wine
- Drink the rest of the wine
