Exactly

I actually did a mess load of meal prep last night with haul from the farmers market if anyone wants a quick run down

Can you give me a quick rundown

Hit up the farmers market first off

Half the tomatos, corn, and green beans were already gone when I took that photo

Total cost for the produce was like $35

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL

Jersey Fresh fam

The peaches are amazing right now, juicier than the tomatos even

I basically cut up everything but the corn, tomatos, peaches and baked them in the oven. Also put together four pounds of lean ground turkey with eggwhites and jalapeños, spread it onto a baking sheet and cut it into strips so I could add it to the meals

Important to heavily salt your eggplant and let it sit before cooking it. I drained about a cup of water out of two eggplants that way. Really cuts down on oven time

Dinnertime! #goodcooking #yum #healthyboy

Jk doing my weekly meal prep now. I lean towards fairly simple fare but i usually season it well

Nice that looks incredible

broccoli (Not pictured)

As a single lad, (for now) meal prep saves me alot of time and aids me in guiding a healthy diet

Just might land you a fine lass for all that

As weird as it sounds, meal preparation actually soothes my autism

I make my chicken in a way that keeps it incredibly moist

Medium rare chicken

Extra fat and oils from 🐓 get cooked down and smothered on top before portioning

Noice

It's fully cooked. I cook both sides on medium-high for ~ 3 minutes and then lower heat and put a lid over the skillet

For another mmm 10, 15?

Covering the 🐓 is what makes it moist

I'll be honest, it's difficult for me to get moist chicken these days unless I've 🅱️rined it

That's why Ive been doing the pseudo-meatloaf thing with the ground turkey

I don't usually like chicken, but your chicken looks amazing.

#healthyboy snack time

Easy and relatively healthy. Stove top cooked popcorn

Veggie oil on the bottom of a saucepan. Just enough to coat the base + a little

Add 3 kernals of popping corn

Medium high heat

Wait till kernals pop

Do some curls in your kitchen while you wait

Once they pop it signifies the oil is hot enough

Add the rest of your kernals. Pictured here is alot. Multiple servings worth

Put lid on of course lol

If you keep shaking the saucepan as you cook as well as dump out the popped kernals into a large serving bowl when they push the lid up you will end up with 0 wasted kernals and 0 burned popcorn

Season with salt in moderation

I just use a hot air popper to avoid using oil. But fresh popped popcorn is one of my favorite snacks.

@Erika im not a fan personally of single use appliances.

but even so ive always wanted one

Is that butter I see in the unpopped kernel picture? Also the only single-use appliance I will advocate for is an Egg Cooker. Huge timesaver and conveniance and it's tiny.

Veggie oil. No butter.

Oh I see it now. It was the three test kernels that had already popped.

@Deleted User same. I hate single use appliances, but I make so much popcorn that it's worth it. And most thrift stores have a hot air popper in their appliance section, so you can usually get one for like, $5.

Are Brussel sprouts trad

You jest. They are the tradest.

They're really good I've discovered

Never had them growing up, but just sautéed in olive oil with salt and pepper they're great

I love brussel sprouts

That looks delicious. What's the protein? Chicken?

Pork chops!

ugh. I could go for a nice thick cut fried pork chop right now

with mashed potatos

Cooked that individual with some thyme and butter, scraped the bits with some red wine vinegar and olive oil

this is a public channel. don't talk like that ☺

Freestyle sourdough experiment, measuring nothing and just doing it by eye/feel.... turned out great!

That looks great @Marlow sourdough is the best bread!

I let it proof overnight at room temperature... I think long proofing time is the secret to great bread

it's a delicate balance tho, depending on the yeast you use, it could proof too quickly and then "fall" and you get bread that has a tight, dense crumb, which is not good. You want air pockets, and depending on your preference, you want them big, but now so big it becomes difficult to spread stuff on it

but yeast cultured in your own sourdough starter is usually more robust than store-bought "active dry yeast" or even instant or rapid rise yeast, which is more suitable for bread machines.

the key ingredient in any good bread is time.... you gotta have patience every step of the way

Marlow needs his own cooking channel, or maybe an I.E. farmers market.

Also, you're going to need to call upon the wisdom of your ancient European ancestors to get it right... bonus points if they're French

It's fun tho. I suggest everyone who isn't celiac to try it!

@snakob95 I was thinking about doing something like that, but an overall "lifestyle and life philosophy" channgel

it would be pretty cool, but it would take a lot of time

Fresh honey veggies cheese and mead from farmers market in the Adirondacks

Buy local not global fight Monsanto

@Alexander B. - SC I also got some fresh mako shark any suggestions?

The meade is incredible my god

There's good mead in New York for some reason

All those upstate apiaries

My reading is telling me it's comparable to swordfish, which would make it perfect for searing/grilling. @Louis Loire - NY

A nice medium/medium well should be a good cook

Don't forget to hit it with lemon juice and butter afterwards 😋

I grilled it up with garlic and lemon was amazing

And yeah tons of dairy and honey farms up here

You all ever try the Dansk Mjod? Danish mead...

Yeah drink it all the time

Love the viking blood one

Its my favorite from the ones ive tried so far.

Danish mead is different as it has hops added

I like them all honestly haha.

I like the hops added. Gives it a little different taste

Yeah it makes it less like a wine

I love all mead its healthy too tons of antioxidants

Me and my gf killed that whole bottle last night was really good

I feel much better after having a few drinks than when I drink beer or liquor

Its easy to kill a bottle. but at 19% youll be feeling it.
