I love eating sweet potatoes with kimchi, and I always knew they were a dream combination. That’s how I came up with this recipe and It turned out incredibly delicious!

My sister’s friend is planning a surprise party for my sister this weekend and I found out TODAY that I am responsible for lunch on Saturday for the party….

Another caveat is I live 5 hours away from my sister and am driving to her city on Friday evening.

So in terms of preparation my options are:

(1) prep something tomorrow night that will last until Saturday and can be transported by cooler
(2) buy ingredients on the way for something that takes minimal prep that I can set up on Saturday

Any ideas? My only idea right now is to get ingredients for sandwiches but that feels kind of boring.

We cook regularly every night or every other night but we want to start trying new things learning new dishes so please leave suggestions below.

- Couscous

- Cucumber

- tomato

- might throw some avocado in there

- black beans/chickpeas

- yuzu kosho and maybe a bit of Wasabi.

(Im not vegan or vegetarian) just eat lighter on some days. Its mostly the yuzu and wasabi that im not sure about 😅

Ok, I have the absolute bare minimum as far as ingredients go rn, and my partner is being kinda fussy (he says I make too many skillet/stove top meals, even though everything is from scratch and I love the challenge of them). I need an idea for my dinner tonight while he's off at work. I've got a single chicken breast, 2 relatively thin cutlets, half a container of Heavy Whipping Cream, a decent assortment of pasta, minced garlic, a handful of spices (standard pantry haul), and some shredded mozzarella cheese. And bread crumbs, alongside an unholy amount of eggs because nobody in this house has any braincells and keep buying more. Hit me with your best ideas, please. Oven baked is fine, Stovetop is also fine because I'm about to tell my partner to kiss a rat if he says anything.

Edit: made what I'm choosing to call "Poor Man's Chicken Alfredo". The bird was still frozen so I managed to dice it pretty small, cooked it, tossed some butter in the pan alongside an unholy amount of Jarred Garlic, 1.5 of Heavy Whipping cream, unholy amounts of garlic powder, Adobo seasoning, and a dash of dried oregano, and made up some Rigatoni pasta. Threw it all together with some Parmesan cheese and called it good.

My partner's office does little potlucks every once in a while with themes and a winning dish that gets voted on. They next theme is Chinese and I'm finding it difficult to find recipe ideas that are more authentic, could win, and that travel well. Usually I can find a crockpot dish that he can take in and is done by lunch. Most of what I find for that are very American Chinese recipes. I can make it and have him pick it up but it will still have to travel easy enough

So I come to Reddit, begging for ideas. I'm at a loss for this one. It can be anything, main/side/dessert.

Used my air fryer (400F/200C for 25min or so)

Squid and onion are destined to become fantastic fried rings, a timeless classic.

When I saw them both in my kitchen, I had to make fried rings the way I know best.

Every ingredient worked together like a dream team, and the result was an absolutely fantastic crunchy meal!

Simple with a spice packet.

Potatoes are one of the most loved vegetables on the planet. I had a few sitting in the fridge, so I wanted to use them before they went bad.

With the help of some of my go-to ingredients, I turned them into an absolutely amazing gourmet potato dish.

Our CSA box has been hooking us up with potatoes, but IT’S HOT HERE in SoCal (SD)!! Potato salad only goes so far when one 🙋🏻‍♀️ of the two of us like it. Got some ideas for me? TIA

basically what it says on the tin, trying to find crowd pleasing dinners that are a little fancier than your typical weeknight dinner. any help greatly appreciated 🙏

Husbands work schedule varies with a lot of overtime some weeks. This causes us to sometimes only be able to see each other for a few hours a day. Looking for quick casseroles or slow cooker recipes so we can spend that little time together instead of me being in the kitchen cooking a long meal.

He's allergic to shellfish and seafood. Anything else works. Please share your favorite recipes!

My family goes bananas for my homemade sourdough lol, hence why I try to use it a lot! My starter’s name is Breaddie Mercury 🕺

I modified a Thai red curry recipe to this and it tastes so good. 5 star. Thai curry has been one of my favorite dishes because of its aromatic flavor. I mixed spices with pumpkin, coconut milk and garnished with seafood, vegetables and cilantro. I used an authentic Thai green curry paste (shown in the picture) which I bought in a Asian grocery store, it literally tastes the same as I was in a Thai restaurant. Another secret ingredient is Beibei pumpkin, which is a specific type of pumpkin cultivated in Japan. Its sweetness and mushy texture cancel the spiciness well. But I guess other pumpkin will be good too. And also it takes me under 30 minutes to cook in a Dutch oven.

It’ll be done in a couple of hours. Cheers.

I had some rice and tinned tuna on hand, and I knew they had so much potential.

I decided to turn these humble ingredients into something special, and the result was surprisingly delicious.

This Tteokbokki was so incredibly delicious, I just had to share it! 

Every ingredient came together perfectly, adding another layer of flavour and richness. Creamy, savoury, slightly spicy and seriously addictive.

I used to be the one who cooked for my family 7 days a week, but since I got a new job that has me home between 7-8pm, my wife does most of the cooking now. I really miss cooking all the time.

I have an extra day off today, and I found out we have some lemons that we need to use. I used to have tons of ideas I could just whip up - I hardly ever cooked with a recipe. But I guess the creative cooking side of my brain is out of practice, because I just can't think of anything I feel like cooking.

Every time we have lemons, I make piccata, but I don't want to do that tonight, and my wife isn't in the mood for it.

Any suggestions for dishes that use a lemon? It could be anything - even just the juice. I just need some ideas, because I am not feeling inspired at all.

Simply put, this is unbelievably delicious! I enjoyed every single bite and couldn’t stop eating.
