I'm pretty sure beef rendang is the 'one confit to rule them all'.

I am so proud to say I've finally perfected my gf potato farls. I think I made some ancestors proud today. The bacon is hiding the tasty mushrooms. Hits the spot on a -3⁰C morning.

This is one of my favourite quick prep dinners when I'd like something that goes well with mashed potatoes, and the weather is starting to get cold. I sub cornstarch for flour.

As you may or may not have noticed I've been missing on the cooking front for a while. Having energy to cook nearly anything for the last month or so has been hard, but I've started having a little bit of energy this week.

Today I made a really nice salad. This is easy to break down into small steps and you can make the dressing at least a day in advance.

Rôtisserie chicken is an easy route for cooked chicken and you can either freeze or make stock with the bones. I just baked off a bit of extra chicken last night with some fish sauce, garlic, lime and an pinch of sugar and then chopped it up today. You could very easily make this less work and more accessible by using a bag of shredded coleslaw mix, as it's already got the carrots in it. Nice meal for a hot day. Would be good with tofu marinated in the dressing if you wanted to skip the chicken or some peeled cooked shrimp.

The weather is horrendously gross thick sleet today. I think this calls for enchiladas. It might be lazy ones where I just throw tortillas in a dish and then dump the filling in and put tortillas, sauce and cheese on top. I'd love to have the jam to roll them up but I'm guessing I won't.

I'm doing a new thing where I try to make a salad at some point in the day when I have some energy so that I don't end up skipping veg when I'm too tired to cook later in the day.

I made that happen today and made a fruit salad to add some sunshine to a gray sludge day. It turned out pretty well. Sliced apples, oranges and pineapple with red onion, cilantro, jalapenos and fresh lime juice with a pinch of salt and cumin.

We make big batches of carnitas when we can get good pork and then freeze it, so that will probably end up in my filling, but I think my favourite is a super spicy squash filling. What's your favorite enchilada filling?

Today feels like a good day for a quick bread or a sweet loaf. Not something ornate, but some sort of sweet affirmation in the midst of bleak winter. Something that's good with a hot cup of tea.

I'm making an orange yogurt loaf with some cardamom and ginger added. I've never made it before, and I adapted the recipe from a regular gluten based one. I'll post the recipe later if it turns out well.

I really like quick breads because they take me about 10-15 minutes to prep and then I can have a rest while they bake. Do you have a favourite quick bake you like to make?

Random holiday breakfast. I was watching a Georgian travel show and craving #khachapuri but also #croqueMonsieur. In a frenzy, I made this for #brunch. It definitely hit the spot.

(Note, not traditional shaped because this is an gluten free dough that it pretty finicky)

Making anything good?

#HappyHollandaise ! We had a bunch of beautiful leftover roast potatoes from solstice dinner and some extra yorkies, so I made a nice brunch to celebrate @yonabee 's first day off for the holidays. Have you ever made hollandaise before?

A few tips:

1. It's easier than you think.

2. If you are worried about it
separating, you can add a tiny bit of cream or milk after you've made it to help stabilize it for holding. (Milk solids for the win)

3. Slow and low, that is the tempo.

4. Add butter to eggs and your sauce will have legs, but eggs to butter and your sauce will sputter.

5. If you want to make bennies for a crowd, you can hold your holly at a safe temp in a thermos for quite some time. (This is how I survived the tradition of bennies every Sunday with the coast guard, as with a crew of 13 we had no kitchen staff and it was just me, myself and I running the show.)

Fun things to add:

A dash of hot sauce or a dab of miso and some garlic while you melt the butter.

Tarragon and finely minced shallot (oh wow, you just made béarnaise!)

Lime instead of lemon, or any other tart citrus for that matter. Lime is great with a mango bacon Benny. Grapefruit is amazing with a garlic shrimp one!
