Pasta is the best dish, actually.I only know how to cook pasta >:[
but its a good dish :D
Biscuits mixed with grated cheddar cheese and cinnamon is another.
Yeah it's really just the first line you mentioned lol. I'm sure someone who knows how to make home-made biscuits can expand on this but a portion of shredded cheddar where the biscuits are not drowning in cheese and then cinnamon, as you mentioned, should do.do you have a recipe? or is it just like make cheddar biscuits, but add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon? either way, this sounds amazing and i will be trying to cook w/ the cheese+cinnamon flavor profile in the future.
i am usually too hungry by the time I am done cooking to take pictures.
my approach is always tailored to the complexity of the dish. I just look up a recipe online if Im unsure, but I can usually figure out how to cook things just by eating them. or just thinking about how I could make it. If it's something really difficult or new to me, I'll call my sister and ask her about what to do. Back when she lived near me I sometimes learned by cooking with her, especially for complex things, where unless you see it happen it's hard to know or even keep track of all the things if youre knew at it. Most restaurants don't do it at all like how it might be done at home.
And from a young age, my older brother, despite my reluctance and initial shittiness in the kitchen, always made me help him in the kitchen so I started by chopping vegetables and learned from there tbh. Cooking has always been a big part of my life, a source of joy, love, and good memories. as a vegetarian, it makes little sense not to home cook all the meals that you can, as the markup on veg dishes is scandalous.
I guess the stupidest/hardest thing i ever made was italian meringue as a stage of the process of making cakes from scratch. first time italian meringue is a fucking bitch and I rarely cooked sober and that didnt help. cakes turned out awesome tho.
Best thing I make? hmm, probably salad based on others' comments and just what my own favorite thing that I make is. I'm from california, that explains it. I can give you a bit of advice on how to make a good salad : A method to make any pile of lettuce/greens better: chop up some garlic and some orange slices, add them. Add some chopped bellpepper, or avocado, or rinsed canned chickpeas. w.e you have on hand tbh, the oranges and chopped garlic will dress most ingredients perfectly. The oranges become a dressing for every bite as the juice is released in your mouth. Fresh garlic is fresh garlic, you know? I need no excuse to eat it fresh when I live like 45 minutes from the 'garlic capital of the world'. If you can get cilantro thats also a great addition to the oranges and garlic. Finish with a dash flavorless/olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional). Make sure to toss the salad thoroughly so that the salt, pepper and garlic distribute.
Recently my cooking 'challenges' have come at work where I've been learning to cook meat on the fly. I've now done steak, pan-fried chicken, pork chops, boiled chicken, chorizo, ground beef, ground turkey. I don't ever fuck up, or at least not yet, I'm pretty experienced so it wasn't that difficult to pick it up. It has just been hella gross, mainly because the oven at my facility is a bitch to use, so I have to make meat without an oven and it's just bs from my perspective as a vegetarian, like I should just get to stick it in the oven, and I def shouldnt have to see it or mind it while i cook the other things, you know? it gets in the way. ps: I just try not to think about what happens when meat dethaws in cold water. the grossness is real. ima get over it tho.
if you see anywhere in this post where you can advise, especially with regards to meat, im very open.
I mean, you can always slice the meat more easily if it's partially thawed, so you can dethaw it safely in the fridge instead of cold running water. Ofc, this is coming from a Asian style of cooking, where meat dishes are meant to be eaten family style, so has to be bite sized. That said, have you experimented with making tougher cuts of meat, like shoulder or chuck? Slow braising is a pretty simple thing to test out if you haven't!Recently my cooking 'challenges' have come at work where I've been learning to cook meat on the fly.

i edited your post cause pic was broken. that looks amazing manchocolate Sauce, Cream and almond praline on top
remains true for almost every latino (though it's my aunt, not grandma). just when i learned how to -decently- cook, I decided to make this change, so I had to learn everything from 0. it's very hard to get different recipes that don't include meat... especially getting recipes that have affordable or easy to get ingredients :(I am puerto rican and live in a household where the stereotype that the grandmother owns the kitchen remains true.
