First try at roasting cashews. The recipe I followed clearly advised way too much oil and put insufficient stress on the variability of baking time, so most came out burnt. Lessons for next time, I guess.

pesto is great for when you want pasta but you're too lazy to spend time making a proper sauce

I used this a variant of this recipe with some salmon (no sugar, longer bake for larger fish, more pepper), and I could just ruin myself if had the time and money to eat this every day

#cooking #lifeprotip if you need to reheat fish in a microwave, lower the power level (usually, enter the time then hit the power level button, and a number) and cook for a proportionately longer time to prevent the fish from popping/exploding

for years I, and everyone in my house as far as I know, only ever used the microwave at high

attempted a potato curry. ended up with curry-flavored mash potatoes. still pretty good though.

Finally tried this #vegan pancake recipe: https://tasty.co/recipe/the-fluffiest-vegan-pancakes
I can confirm, they are very fluffy and pretty good with chocolate chips. 😋 The apple cider vinegar and almond milk mix smells disgusting, but it doesn't carry into the final product.

Napa cabbage has some real potential I've yet to explore

This is a really nice way to cook potatoes. IMHO, you don't really need the vinegar: just parboil, toss with fat and seasoning, then roast.

I like adding Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika with the salt and pepper.😋

Replaced the cilantro and parsley with spinach in my baked falafel patties, and it turned out OK. I only had to bake it for longer (~40 minutes vs ~20) because of the extra water, but it's still definitely a falafel flavor. I did add some ground coriander to the mix though to make up for the absent cilantro and parsley flavors.
