Dusting off the cookbooks. Adventures in home cooking with Reegan.

Star Trek cookbook. Gagh is best served live!

Not sure what to call this 🤔 it started out as chicken Parmesan. We added peppers onions and garlic. Nobody complained and disappeared like magic. My favorite thing about Recipes is that you can tweak them 😬

Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. My dad’s favorite and so easy to make. Peppers, onions, mushrooms and thinly sliced steak. Melt some of that provolone cheese on top and you’re good to go. The hoagie buns from Gray’s IGA are the best.

Just got all the ingredients for our Philly cheesesteaks this weekend. Stay tuned. They are Dad‘s favorite! 

I have reached 100 followers! Thank you for your continued support. I could not have done it without each of you. 🙏🤗🎉

Just me and dad tonight. Smoked up the whole house making some smash burgers.
1pound hamburger divided into 4 balls. Season to taste.
Put on a volcano hot cast iron pan and smash them flat. 3 minutes later, flip and add cheese. When the cheese is melted they are done.
Broiled some buns and added some bacon. Mouth watering.

A little improvised Philly cheesesteak today for lunch. One onion and one pepper sautéed. Set aside and flash cook 1 pound of thinly sliced steak with some salt pepper garlic mix, add together cover with provolone cheese until it melts. Scoop it on your favorite hoagie roll. Mine were lightly buttered and placed under the broiler for a bit just prior to loading up. Turned out pretty good. Dad said it made his top 4 list! Yum 😋

It’s a peach cobbler kind of night.

It’s been a while. Fall is in the air and we’re going to be stuck inside soon. It was a comfort food day here. Mississippi crock pot chicken with mashed potatoes and corn..
3-4 chicken breasts
1 packet gravy or Ajou mix
1 packet ranch dressing mix
A half dozen or more of pepperoncini peppers
Half stick of butter.
Put in the chicken cover it with the rest. cook for 6 to 7 hours. Pull it apart with forks when done and serve.
You can use chicken thighs but if so, you don’t need as much butter. Enjoy

I found this recipe. I’m gonna need a bigger pot.

Steak fajitas with what we had around tonight. Steak strips, onions, garlic, jalapeños. (Don’t tell mom about the jalapeños) green peppers and some red potatoes.
A little Cumin. Some chili powder, some red pepper flakes and whatever else we could find to throw in. It was pretty good

When you have leftover fajita meat from Dos Amigos  but you don’t have any tortillas. Fajita omelettes!

I had to have a talk with my dad. This isn’t a Burger King! You get it my way! 

Bacon, sausage, egg and cheese between 2 syrup infused pancakes. It’s what’s for breakfast.

My dad’s favorite hot cheese and meat dip. 2 lbs hamburger. 2lbs spicy breakfast sausage. 2 jars hot picante sauce, 2 velveeta cheese logs and 2 cans cream of mushroom soup. Cook the meat and drain. Add all ingredients to a crockpot. Stir occasionally. You will not be disappointed

Steak fajitas tonight! The marinade they soaked in overnight. Wow! So good. There are some leftovers so I know dad will be happy tomorrow

I’m not crying. It’s the onions. Prepping for tomorrow night’s fajita dinner with a marinade

Leftovers! Pulled pork nachos. Mmmmm. So good.

Dad didn’t get the phone out in time! The improvised crock pot pulled pork was so good! Stove top stuffing and Hawaiian bread to go with it. That’s what he said anyway.

Mom bought a pork butt yesterday so I looked up some recipes. Slow cooker pulled pork it is. Put this together before work this morning. I had to improvise on the recipe because we didn’t have everything it called for. I hope it turns out better than expected.  i’ll be back tonight with the results. Wish me luck. 

Every time my dad sees me cooking, he brings out his camera. It’s taco  salad Tuesday over here.  Taco salad is his weakness.

Mississippi crock pot chicken. 4lbs chicken. 1oz gravy mix. 1 oz ranch dressing mix. Half dozen pepperocini peppers in the crockpot for 6 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 on high.

Breakfast burritos for dinner! So easy to make. Eggs, Crumbled bacon, cheese chives and peppers. I cheated and added some hot breakfast sausage. All that rolled into a soft burrito and cooked for 15 to 20 minutes at 350.

Prepping for tonight’s breakfast dinner.
