Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie. Do I need to say more?

In my recipe, I use the premade box of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits and add some cayenne in the filling for a bit of 🔥heat🔥

Recipe inspired by: www.tiktok.com/@flickofthew...

Crispy halloumi and pistachios on romaine gems with lemon and shallots. Soak the shallots before serving unless you like pain. Salty, fatty, crunchy, and you get to eat with your hands. Recipe from @nytcooking.bsky.social:

Fall can go by very quickly if you don't get out and do some fall activities. Like going to an apple orchard to pick your own apples and then drowning them in chocolate and nuts when you get back home 💙🍂🍎🤤

The sound was beautiful, but Bluesky doesn't like uploading audio well. Still, pretty to look at 🤤🍽️

Sometimes you just want bread now, not 6 hours from now. I'm not a baker, but I made these in under an hour. Finally, bread that respects impatience.

Chicken korma and naan. The kind of meal that fills the house before you even sit down. Spices bloom, cream thickens, and the world narrows to the sound of a simmer. You remember why you bother cooking at all.

Beef and broccoli. Not Chinese, not American, but something in between. Built by those who weren't always welcome here, but they stayed, cooked, and changed the menu forever. That's America on a plate.

Pepper relish. Make it once, stash it in the fridge, and let it quietly run your kitchen. Quinoa and blackened shrimp are just the beginning.

No matter the country, someone's dropping something into hot oil to feel human again. Today it's chicken katsu. Crisp, golden, and comfort that tastes better than the day you had.

Sometimes dinner is just garlic, butter, noodles, and a sprinkling of cheese. Turns out that's enough.

The world's unraveling, and I can't stop it. But I can still stir, season, and taste. Swedish meatballs tonight. A small comfort that says I'm still here.

This curry chicken salad tastes like I have my life together. I don't. It's just avoidance with seasoning.

Lemon orzo with chicken, so good I almost forgot to take a picture. Bright, simple, gone in 60 seconds.

Today calls for chocolate banana muffins. Everyday calls for chocolate bananas muffins. I tried to answer, but my voicemail is full of messages from muffins that never made the cut.

Mystery frozen lamb cuts as a gift? Best way to return the favor is with wine, herbs, and pretension. Serve it back as French pot roast.

The government shuts down, people suffer, chicken and waffles remain. A dish born of struggle, carried through Harlem and the South, a reminder that survival has always come from the people.

Vietnam’s vermicelli bowls tell the story better than textbooks. Hanoi’s grill smoke, Saigon’s sugar, and refugees’ resilience. The West ignored the war stories but never turned down the noodles.

Most Halloween food is gross theater. Sine at Food Bites makes it appetizing and proof you don't need "vomit dip" to keep festive.

Nothing says millennial like paying $16 for avocado toast, regret, and disappointment. I made mine for less than $3 with chicken. Same existential dread, less markup.

Cleaning out the fridge? Take a page from @kenjilopezalt.bsky.social crispy roasted potatoes and turn your fridge scraps into something edible. Creativity tastes better with salt and char.

Saturday morning pancakes, a sticky middle finger to the 24-hour outrage cycle. Pass the denial, it tastes like maple.

Made too much romesco? What are you, a line cook in Barcelona? Forget Spain, locals don't want you there anyway.

Toss it with chicken, carrots, potatoes, an apple, and those tasty golden curry cubes for a Japanese-style curry.
