How to Make a Philly Cheesesteak with.. . Steak-ums
So what is a Steak-Um? It’s a flat frozen sheet of beef, it’s in the frozen aisle and yes it only says BEEF on the ingredients section. Is it ground, is it shaved? I have no idea, but when you open the box/plastic, there are between7-16 beef sheets depending on which box you get. The sheets are separated by parchment paper and the beef sheets are also 2 sheets of beef.What does this have to do with cheesesteaks? I have been cooking with these weird little beef sheets since I was about 8, and I know how to make them as close to a real Philly Cheesesteak as they can get. image source

Creamy Eggplant Curry
Have you been avoiding Eggplant because it seams like a unitasker? Well you’re missing out on a great source of vegetable protein, and it doesn’t have to be just fried and used with pasta sauce....an Indian and Thai inspired approach, the citrus of the lemon is a backnote to the high powered heat from the hot sauce and curry powder. The cream cheese and peanut butter thicken the sauce and add creamy body, while the soft eggplant adds an interesting savory texture to the dish. It goes great over rice.

These cuts of Pork chop tend to have a side layer of fat, I cut it most of the way off so there’s only a thin layer on the outside. The thin layer will help keep the meat juicy as the fat cooks.

Sure they’ve probably added some stuff to it, but you can do that with stuff laying around your kitchen and make something that tastes even better. So let’s begin!

Muenster, Leek, and Tomato Grilled Cheese
A healthy lunch, the salty bite of the leeks are counter balanced by the acidity of the tomatoes and lightness of the muenster. It goes great on a baguette and with a side of tomato soup.Leeks are an underutilized flavor force to be reckoned with. While they’re subtle, and usually found with scallions in your Mongolian Beef, leeks can actually take the foreground of a meal and make it theirs. The salty impact of the leek flavor makes this grilled cheese perfectly balanced, and makes mouths water every time!

Lemon Sweet Tea Barbecue Chicken
This one’s a bit unorthodox, but the flavor levels are through the roof. It’s an original take on barbecue chicken.This is a good variation of a traditional Barbecue Chicken. The sweet tea vodka and lemon juice add a bright pop of flavor to the tangy barbecue. And doing it Baked in it’s own juices just adds to the flavor character of the sauce. The same method below can be enlarged and you could make a slew of Barbecue Chicken for Sunday Football, or parties, or just about anything. image by JWynia
Tilapia Cakes

Lemon Dill Honey Mustard Tilapia
They’re a great combination, and on a light flaky fish like Tilapia, they give it a nice bold flavor. I hope you all enjoy!This one’s really easy and takes no time to throw together. Tilapia’s great because it’s a very inexpensive cut of fish. It has a great texture and small flavor, which means you can do almost anything with it. You can have southwestern tilapia, Asian influenced tilapia, Caribbean flavors, European flavors. It’s a very versatile fish, and one of the most common uses for it is ceviche, which is the process of cooking fish with acids from lemons and limes(and sometimes tequila). This steals an ingredient from ceviche, but not the meal itself. Enjoy!
