[Open Call] Favorite Recipes

[Nightdrift]

The weather has been pretty nippy where I am at, and it got me bemoaning my utter dearth of good soup recipes.

It got me wondering if any of you have some favorite recipes, for any sort of foodstuff -- food, drink, dessert, etc. I'll have to dig up my Most Generic 7(?)-Ingredient Pasta ("?" because it might be less than that...) that I always throw together if I am feeling especially unmotivated but do not want to do takeout... but if anyone has recipes they would like to share in the meantime (does not have to be soup!), this thread (and I) would love to hear from you.

A what a good idea! Iv been meaning to post more recipes on my site, at the moment I only have this one whitch I do make quite often: https://melonking.net/melon?z=/thoughts/recipes/lunchpasta

If your looking for soups though, Iv been making this soup 2 times a week for the last few weeks. Although Iv made some edits. I sometimes replace the bacon with salami and I also leave the bacon in for the entire cook; and I don’t always add cream but do cook it in red wine. Also I don’t use all the fancy peppers as I don’t have access to them easily, just regular bell peppers. I bring it in a flask to my studio!

oooh ! :-O i'll have to try to dig up my favorite recipes or write down my recipes some day...

lately i've been really into making ice cream w/ my ice cream machine. one of my fav things to make in the summer is a frozen yogurt/ice cream mix. it involves...

2 C heavy cream
1 C greek or full-fat yogurt
3/4 C sugar
2 eggs

mix sugar+eggs first, then liquids. churn for 20~ish mins on the machine. add anything else you want! (this lends really well for fruity flavors, for ex. 1/4 C orange concentrate, or lemon juice+zest, or 1/2 C cantaloupe blended up & strained!) if adding chunks, wait until last 2 minutes of churning. :-) after 20 mins put into container and freeze another 2 hrs! with fruit, the more concentrated/less water = the better, as the water will crystalize ur ice cream :-<

ice-cream aside, i loved to use recipes from the post-punk kitchen when i was vegan, though i started eating dairy again lol. https://www.theppk.com/

@Melon: A recipe page, now that's a fun idea for site content! There is somehow too much pasta in my house right now, and I have never experienced Marmite either, so it is the perfect opportunity to hit two birds with one stone with that recipe.

Thank you for the soup video! I find it helpful hearing people's recipe variations, it can be hard to improvise sometimes so it's good to know what works for other people.

@Cinni LMAO...the bravery of this suggestion. An ice cream maker has been on my radar this year, maybe it'll be time to bite the bullet once the weather takes a turn back to the warmer. I appreciate the notes on getting the consistency just so, I think that is one of the harder parts of homemade ice cream for sure.

The recipes from the PPK look amazing. Do you have any favorites from the list? The Earl Gray Chai Pancakes look and sound really good...truly, breakfast foods are the meals of champions.

Thanks for the responses

LMAO you *did* specify it didnt have to be soup! :omg:k:

as far as the ppk, i think some recipes are no longer up on the site? (but it's been a few years so my memory isn't great lol) HOWEVER i really enjoyed this spicy peanut eggplant stew (and i am picky about eggplant!) aaaand lately ive been thinking about making this dill/rosemary dumpling soup again...

if you feel like doing more prep work, i also loved these chickpea cutlets (made with seitan) or their recipes for mac n cheese using cashews, tbh i can't remember which specific recipe i used back in the day but i'm sure they're all delicious :-9 but a lot of work if you aren't vegan! haha.

i'm also struggling to find this exact recipe, but i used to make a moroccan lentil n chickpea soup with veggies n noodles, which i'm sure you can improvise and it will still taste good LOL as long as you've got some coriander n cumin etc!

another recipe i like to make is roasted brussel sprouts w/ a sugary/vinegary sauce, which goes something liiiikee:

1/2 C sugar
1/2 C white vinegar
lots of: sliced green onions, cayenne pepper, salt n pepper, anything else

wash n cut n half all ur brussel sprouts, coat in oil, salt + pepper and bake in the oven aaaat idk, 375F for 20-25 mins or until crispy at the edges / browned. i would keep ur sprouts dry so it gets crunchy. then i would cook the sugar + vinegar on the stove until sugar dissolves, then put in all the fun stuff and douse the brussel sprouts in it - and tada, the best veggies :-B
