Heat pan or griddle to medium heat. Gently set English muffins in pan. It should rise a lot. Flip, when cooked halfway thru like pancakes.

Remove from pan when cooked. Make sure to not open or cut for Atleast 30 minutes. Or it will become gummy inside. Store in air tight container once fully cooled or in the freezer.

9 potatoes (peeled and chopped)

8 slices bacon

2/3 cup of diced onions

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp flour

1 cup water

1/4 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)

Optional: parsley

Steam potatoes or boil in a pot to cook.

Cook bacon, reserve grease for roux. If cooked in the oven, chop slices after cooked. Cook onions in pan with bacon grease. If cooked in the pan, chop bacon in small pieces then cook in pan with onions.

Whisk water, vinegar, flour, salt, sugar in a bowl and pour into onions and bacon. Stir…. It thickens quickly into a roux.

Throw in your cooked potatoes fold into roux. It should come together fairly quickly.

1 1/2 Tbsp bacon grease

8 medium button mushrooms (sliced)

6 cloves garlic (whole)

2 cups stock

2 cups water

1 cup milk + 1/4 cup

Pasta of choice

2 tsp salt (to taste)

Sausage

1/2 bag of frozen peas

Two handfuls cherry tomatoes halved

1 Tbsp corn starch

Cook mushrooms with bacon grease in wide, lidded pan or Dutch oven

Add garlic and allow to roast (a few minutes)

Add stock, water, milk, salt and pasta

Cook sausage while pasta is cooking. Set aside (add at end)

Once pasta is al dente, add peas and tomatoes

In a bowl, whisk corn starch with 1/4 cup of milk. Add to pasta and stir in. The sauce will thicken and coat noodles. Add in sausage, stir together and serve.

1 Jimmy Dean sausage tube

1/2 cup ap flour

2 cups of milk

2 cups water

1/4 cup cream (optional)

Salt to taste (~2 tsp)

Optional 2 Tbsp bacon grease

Cook sausage in a pan, pot or Dutch oven that is large enough for making gravy (remove sausage fat and replace with bacon grease)

Sprinkle flour directly onto sausage and cook. (This will cook the flour and make a kind of sausage roux)

Pour in milk and water and reduce heat to medium, stir gently

Add salt to taste and set aside once at desired thickness. It requires quite a lot as nothing is preseasoned.

If you want more gravy to sausage add water or more milk. This will affect the thickness so I recommend 1 Tbsp of corn starch whisked in. Whisk liquid into gravy to avoid clumps.

2 ripe bananas (mashed)

1 1/2 cup milk

1 Tbsp vinegar (optional)

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

1 2/3 cup All Purpose Flour (optional 1 cup AP flour, 3/4 cup almond flour)

Dash nutmeg (optional)

Pinch cinnamon (optional)

Mash up two ripe bananas

Whisk in milk or milk with vinegar (to make buttermilk)

Combine dry ingredients

Whisk in dry ingredients

Cook pancakes

5-7 limes juiced about 2/3 cup (3/4 cup for more tart pie)

1.5 cans sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup cream

4 limes zested

1 sleeve biscoff cookies

1/4 cup melted butter

Crush cookies in a food processor to make crumbs. Add melted butter and mix until we’ll incorporated

Dump into a pie pan. Press into the pan and up the sides about half way. This is a punchy but thin pie

Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Then set out to cool

Mix in sweetened condensed milk, cream, lime juice, and lime zest in a bowl.

Pour mixture into the crust and return to the oven for 13-15 minutes depending on your oven. Make sure it doesn’t brown!

Let cool on the counter. Make sure to cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge. Cover the plastic directly on the pie so there’s no water that collects on the plastic and drips to the pie.

4 cups milk

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/8 tsp salt

1 Tbsp vanilla

* optional * 1/4 cup corn starch (to make into drinking chocolate)

Put all ingredients into a pot over Medium to medium/high heat. Whisk forever until milk reaches desired temperature. My stove takes about 12 minutes.

DO NOT STOP WHISKING OR MILK COULD SCORCH! Then you’ll have to start again

For “drinking chocolate” consistency (like in Europe) whisk with corn starch until it begins to feel a little thick. If you over thicken, you can add milk to thin. If you want a more authentic drinking chocolate, use half cream, half milk.

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 1/2 cup water

5-6 large cloves garlic minced

1 Tbsp pepper oil

2 can mackerel

3 green onions. Chopped

Add together in a pot and boil together. Reduce to simmer and simmer for about an hour
