anybody have ideas for stovetop recipes?
i live in an apartment building that has pre-installed appliances. basically my microwave, fridge, and oven are complete pieces of crap. my microwave holds smells for a long time and kills itself any time i make popcorn (it always comes back up a few minutes later but like?? wtf??) my main problem with my appliances is that my oven is the biggest POS of them all. uneven heating zones, doesn’t let you know when it’s fully warmed up, and shuts off in the middle of me using it (if anybody also has tips for using an older oven that would be cool too) and pretty much everything i cook in there ends up undercooked or overcooked, never fully cooked. it’s like my oven lives in the twilight zone.
because of this i subconsciously started making exclusively stovetop foods (soups, jambalaya, taco meat, etc.) as much as i love those things, i have quickly run out of ideas. i don’t want to keep making the same recipes over and over. i would like to keep things interesting as dinner is my husband’s main source of food (he and i don’t usually eat breakfast, and his lunch time is not guaranteed and most days he’ll eat some jerky or pringles whenever he does get a lunch) so i like to make hearty, filling things with lots of protein (my husband is supposed to gain a bit of weight to stay within his job requirements - he’s in the army. don’t worry, everything i make includes veggies and all the good things nutrition-wise)
if anybody has ideas or stovetop recipes they enjoy i would appreciate it!! we’re on a budget so while buying meals that are mainly frozen seem convenient, i’ve discovered that it’s usually much cheaper for me to get all the individual ingredients myself and spend more time preparing it. thanks!!

Does anyone have any unique stew/soup uses for top round roast?
I'm going to defrost some roast and was planning on making beef bourguignon again but I've made it way too many times. I was thinking about trying Nigerian stew but the recipes require a food processor and I only have a magic bullet. Does anyone else have any unique stew or soup uses for a roast?

Cheez-It Chicken Tenders
1 cup of Cheez It (or Cheese Nips) crackers
1/2 cup of Townhouse Flipsides Pretztel crackers
1/2 cup Triscuits crackers
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 pack of chicken tender select strips
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon Adobo seasoning
2 bottles of Killian's or Amber Bock beer (2 cups milk is a great substitute)
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 can Pam cooking spray
Preheat oven at 350 degrees
Creating the breading: Pulverize Cheez-Its, Flipsides and Triscuits in a food processor. Empty crushed crackers into a casserole pan. Mix in the Creole and Adobo seasonings.
Preparing your beer batter: Combine the eggs and beer in a blender; empty into medium size (or larger) mixing bowl.
Getting your pre-breading ready: Empty the flour into another pan to allow enough space for properly coating the chicken tenders.
Breading the Chicken tenders: 1. Dip the chicken tenders in the beer batter. 2. Roll evenly in flour. 3. Dip in beer batter a second time. 4. Roll in cracker breading until fully coated.
Bake time: Lay tenders on sprayed cookie sheet an inch apart and bake 25 minutes. At end of baking time, take one tender and cut into it to see if it is cooked all the way. If still slightly raw, allow to cook for another 5 – 10 minutes.
Serving: Makes at least 20 tenders, give or take, depending on how many come in each prepackaged container.
Enjoy!

Food For A Picky Girlfriend
I’m trying to cook something my girlfriend will like for dinner tomorrow. The problem is her food choices are completely nonsensical to me and she is extremely picky. I’ve been dating her a year and I’ve narrowed down at least a few things:
She likes starchy potato based dough
She likes turkey
And she likes raw vegetables
Do you guys have any ideas on recipes that include these? I’m really at a loss. Thanks in advance!

Dinner at home
Hi all,
I believe that having dinner together at home is a valuable opportunity to connect as a family. Furthermore, preparing the food at home allows me to be sure that what I serve is of good quality for my loved ones (taking into account their preferences, but also intolerances/allergies).
But as we all know time is scarce as a parent and many of us end up serving the same food over and over, or going for quick fix solutions such as fast food or eating out.
I want to help us, to make cooking at home easier and to enjoy that quality time with our loved ones more often. So i’ve started to create an app which helps with meal planning and shopping, which often held me back from cooking at home. I hope that with this app, it will get easier and more fun to cook at home, and by that having greater dinners with your family.
Want to be part of my mission and help me to fine tune the app? I would be more than happy to have people join me in my cause. I’ve setup a list where you can register here: https://mealplanning101.typeform.com/to/q8sZwT?utm_source=social&utm_medium=reddit&utm_campaign=recipes
Or feel free to DM me here for more info. Happy to reward you with a 25$ Amazon eGift card for early support.
Have a great day 😁🍽🥢🥗 ,

Low Carb Chocolate Muffins With Almond Flour
Low Carb Chocolate Muffins With Almond Flour Source
Instructions
- Heat up the oven to 350˚F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside for later.
- Take a medium sized bowl, add the dry ingredients ( baking soda, almond flour, cacao powder and salt) and blend well to mix.
- Use another bowl to add eggs, monkfruit sweetener (honey or maple syrup) and melted butter and whisk to mix.
- Pour the eggs mixture into the almond-flour mixture, then really carefully stir well to blend it nicely.
- Fold in chocolate chips and divide the batter among the already prepared muffin cups.
- This is really important part: fill in every muffin cup three-quarters of the way. It’s around 2 and a 0.5 tablespoon per muffin cup. The dough will be a bit thick, however it’ll work absolutely perfect. Sprinkle with extra sugar-free chocolate to your liking.
- Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes, till the tops of the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted within the center comes out clean.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and let the muffins cool within the pan for five minutes. Gently pop the muffins out let cool for 10 minutes more on the rack. Enjoy!!!
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups of almond flour, i use blanched almond flour
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 3 large pasture-raised eggs if available
- ½ cups of liquid monkfruit syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2/3 cup of Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips

Chinese Takeout No Noodle Chicken Chow Mein Recipe?
One of my favorite Chinese takeout dinners is Chicken Chow Mein that is chicken with cabbage, onions, bean sprouts in a sauce that is garlicy tasting. It is NOT made with noodles. Usually served with white rice and those crispy noodles on the side. I've been searching for a recipe but even when I search "without noodles" I get mostly noodle recipes and then a couple really sad looking recipes that seem nothing like what I'm eating. I even only get 1 or 2 google image results. Is it maybe named something different in other regions? In mutliple cities in FL it is always called Chicken Chow Mein. I know that a lot of times when I order they clarify to make sure I know I am ordering this and not the noodle dish - one of them told me it was because of Panda Express calling their noodle dish Chow Mein but it isn't really. This is kinda what it looks like only I get the chicken version. I know it doesn't look that appetizing but I love it lol.

I asked an AI to generate a recipe for a PB&J sandwich and this is what happened
So, sometimes my coworkers and I play with www.talktotransformer.com when we're bored. I started having it generate recipes for common foods to see how weird it would be. We did this for a while... then I had the idea to actually cook and eat one of the recipes. My coworkers said I should film it and put it on youtube... so I did.
The format I use for the AI prompt is something like:
"Peanut butter and jelly sandwich recipe:
"
The extra space makes it think it's a list, so it outputs a list of ingredients, then continues on with the prep/cooking steps.
I had 3 episodes ready to film, but I was too sick after this first one, but more are definitely coming.

Recipes for 'vegetarian beans' from reservation commodities?
Hi! So, I live on an indigenous reservation and my gf's family gets commodities. Among the canned goods we receive are 'vegetarian beans'. The ingredients listed are navy beans, water, sugar, tomato paste, vinegar, salt, calcium chloride, and calcium disodium edta. They basically taste like Bush's Baked Beans but way weaker and watered down, but they're overall not bad.
We get tons and tons of these beans, and they're building up because nobody knows any good recipes to prepare them.
Any ideas? TIA 💜💜 Btw, they don't have to be vegetarian or vegan recipes.

Pastry pie crust made with leafy greens
All google wants to give me are recipes for spinach quiches and low-carb green crusts, so I need your pie crust expertise!
I'm trying to make some mini Halloween pies that look like they're filled with brains/guts, and I think it would be neat to make the crust green. Because, you know, zombies. I've also got some extra arugula on hand, so I thought it might be neat to blend it up into a puree and put it in the pie crust. Because greens are so watery, I figured I could use them instead of water in my crust. I'm not concerned about clashing flavors here because the filling is crumbled tofu and tomato sauce.
Here's the ingredients in the pie crust normally: 1 1/4c flour 1/4tsp salt 1/2c butter (Up to) 1/4c water
Do you think this will work? If it will, would it be better to cook the arugula first, or to blend it up raw? Would a roughly 1:1 water:pureed greens substitution work, or could I expect to use substantially more greens?
If the consensus is a no, I'm happy to just use the regular crust, possibly with the addition of green food coloring. It's just that I have leafy greens in my fridge and I think it would taste good!

Field to Table Recipe: Lone Star Venison Fajita Skewers
Recipe (Serves 4-6)
Ingrediants
- 1.5-2 lb. lean venison meat, cut into cubes
- 1 16 oz. can Lone Star Beer
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- 2 poblano peppers
- 1 white onion
- 3-4 Tbsp. Hardcore Carnivore X Lone Star Meatchelada seasoning
Tip: We recommend using metal skewers to avoid the wood skewers burning on the grill.
Instructions
-
Place the venison in a bowl, add Lone Star Beer and salt, then cover and marinate in a refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. Do not soak any longer than this.
-
Prepare the poblano peppers by removing the seeds and core and cutting into small squares about 1.5 inches long. Prepare the onion by removing the skin and cutting into squares about 1.5 inches long. Drain the venison, then start to assemble the skewers. Alternate onion, poblano, and venison chunks until all skewers have been threaded.
-
Season the skewers well all over with Hardcore Carnivore Meatchelada.
-
Light a grill for high heat cooking, around 450°F.
-
Place the skewers onto the hot part of the grill, and cook, turning every 2 minutes to prevent burning. Cook until the meat has developed a brown crust and the onions and peppers have begun to soften and char, about 10-14 minutes all up.
-
Remove from grill and serve immediately—metal skewers will be hot.
