I did something similar the other morning after my ride i dumped a bunch of leftover ore ida french fries from the previous nights dinner and heated them up with a little olive oil in the pan then i dropped in 2 eggs and mixed it around in the pan to make a quick french fry fritata type thing.

Middle son been bugging the wife to make “cheese ball chicken” so she googled some recipes and came up with thIs.

The batter process is 3 steps with flour egg and then cheese ball mixture plus she added some ranch dressing packet to the cheese ball mixture.

Have to say it was really tender and moist but flavor wise it was just ok. Added cheese balls for extra texture. Served with side of rice pilaf and a Caesar salad. 941AC8E1-3DCE-4F78-8107-364A1B2E25DD.jpeg

Came out ok. I didn’t get the prosciutto crispy enough. Shit ton of work, deboning those thighs.

Looks good !

I wrapped the prosciutto in both directions, so the ends were "sealed"
Lower sides on the pan, and convection would help get it a bit crisper.

I cheated and purchased the thighs deboned. :) double kudos for doing it yourself.

Looks good, but you can buy boneless chicken thighs. They are like $1.99 per pound compared to the $1.75 per pound you paid.

i tried to wrap both sides, I think the prosciutto was a little too thin and flimsy. Next time I’ll get it a little thicker and use a lower edge. I like that idea. Even though it was just ok, it was still a great victory dinner for the G-MEN!! When they only win once every 5-6 weeks, you gotta celebrate, when they do!

add a little olive oil in there - helps the prosciutto stick, and keep in some moisture.
mix in some interesting shredded cheese. think i added asiago. of course some salt and pepper.
from there it is just a flavor profile you like - that goes with cheese.
i was thinking next time around i may saute some garlic and onions, and thinly slice/chop some sweet chili.
then oregano/parsley/basil. could also go the lemon chicken route, a little juice, lemon zest, capers.

I like the wilted greens side - good flavor and color contrast.

Wife experimented last night with a spaghetti squash recipe from Pinterest

Clean and coat the halves with olive oil and garlic powder then bake For a bit with the open half down to pre cook. Then she fork shredded some of the squash and added it to a cream cheese garlic salt pepper and some other stuff mixture.

Then each half gets filled with the mixture and back in the oven.

Came out like this. Was sooo good and very filling. The recipe she had said Keto on it too but either way was great al
Dente type crunch and great flavors.

Broke out one of our old standards-
A creole style bbq shrimp recipe.

It’s typically done in a sauté pan, but I was pairing it with kielbasa,
so I figured I’d foil them and do it on the grill.

Came out good, but needs the pan treatment to cook down.
Lesson learnt.
Kielbasa was awesome- light colored is Tesla, dark stuff is ones I smoked last time I made ribs.

So we recently got a Lidl near us, and they planned our side for us tonight.

Kind of brilliant- a magazine with recipes ready to go from their stock. You don’t even need to think.
Most of the recipes are dead simple, and the quality of their goods is on time. Winning.

Tonight was roasted veggie medley (tomorrow is pumpkin lasagna)

And of course they have grass fed organic (Tesla) ribeyes

How were the rib eyes? Can you tell a difference between grass fed and other types?
