Sausage & Tortellini Soup

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Stocks and Broths”. A good broth or stock is absolutely delicious and I love making them but so far this year, I think I have made 5 or 6 different broths so I decided to go with a different route for this and just use a broth I have in my freezer. I am very glad I did this because we currently have a snow storm at my house and this soup was absolutely perfect. Also, I was about to go to my favourite pasta market to get some fresh pasta to go with this. Even better yet, this tasted even better the next day though the tortellini absorbed much of the liquid which is easily fixable.

Corn Dogs

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Handheld Foods”. When I saw this theme, I did not even question it, my mind went back to highschool and college and eating a bunch of those terrible frozen corn dogs. Also, I decided on corn dogs because they are one of my guilty pleasures and I realised that I have never made them. These were absolutely delicious and reminded me of faires and carnivals. These are definitely on list of exceptions to not liking deep fried food.

Spicy Italian Pinwheels

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Deli Foods”. This theme is kind of vague on the amount of things that I can make but I am a sucker for anything wrapped in a tortilla so it was pretty much an easy choice. That being said, these were really good and I have been eating these for a week.

Bibimbap

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Korean”. I am going to be honest, the first time I had a Bibimbap was just because I had no idea what it was and I wanted to say it out loud. Damn was I glad I did. This is definitely one of my favourite dishes because you get such different flavours in each bite. That being said, this was much easier to make than I would have thought and I got to try to use my Sous Vide to try and make a soft poached egg!

Mexican Meatball Subs

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Tailgate”. I used to go to tailgates all of the time until they got banned in my city for a few reasons. That being said, it has not stopped me from enjoying some delicious tailgating food.

It is really hard to screw up a meatball sub. Make meat balls add stuff. These were no different but I do have to say that they were much better after sitting in the sauce all night and the pictures were a bit better. Wish I took pictures before devouring it again.

California Burrito

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “California Cuisine”. I grew up in California so when I saw this theme, I got a little nostalgic. Just the other week I was talking about how much I miss California burritos. I mean beans and rice are good and all but some times I want fries in my burrito. This definitely cured my craving for one and I am glad that I have enough to make a few more.

Sloppy Joes

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Cafeteria Food”. As soon as I read this theme, I immediately thought of those really terrible sloppy joes from primary school which I am sure was just some sort of meat and ketchup. Well I decided to make it better and was very successful. Maybe it had a slight nostalgic effect but either way my SO and I devoured this.

Kimchi Ramen

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Dorm Food”. I never stayed in a dorm but I did eat cheaply during college. The one dish that stood out was top ramen with an egg. I decided to recreate this but with a dish that I actually want to eat and I love ramen.

Black and White Pizza (Black Bean and Olive)

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Black and White”. At first I found this theme really interesting until I realised that I could not think of black and white food other than desserts. There are definitely foods that are black and foods that are white but it is hard to foods that have the two contrasts.

Spicy Mexican Minestrone Stew

This dish was created for the subreddit, /r/52weeksofcooking, where the theme was “Italian”. Since I cook Italian food all of the time, I decided to  change things up and try kind of a Mexican-Italian fusion meal. Well, it turned out really good and there are only a few things that I would change.
