The wife and daughter are not feeling very well, haven't been for a couple of days...grilled Spam & Cheese for me...may have been the same if they both felt good! 
Spam and eggs, spam with peppers & onions, spam with cheese and spam.
I sometimes make a fish dish that starts with baby spinach and pico de gallo. A bit of olive oil in the pan, add the pico and a tablespoon of garlic. A whole container of baby spinach because it cooks down a LOT. Once that gets started I add two or three filets of tilapia. About 20 minutes on a low simmer gets that cooked. Break up the tilapia and mix everything together while adding a half cup or so of mozzarella cheese. Serve it over rice and it makes a couple nice meals. I finished the leftovers of that tonight.

No one who eats Spam will ever be called a picky eater.

Menu from a few days ago: I pan seared some Wild Mushroom and Apple Butter Crusted Elk Steaks in a Cognac Cream Sauce, Sweet Potato and Roasted Honey Crisp Apples.
Store brand Mac n cheese with bacon bits and red chili flakes lol.
I’m starving after slogging three and a half miles through 8-12” of wet snow at 29°.There were a lot of people out doing the same or running or skiing enjoying the sun and cold [emoji3]

Anybody else here use an Instant Pot?
I use the snot out of mine .. soups, chili, whole turkey, you name it.
Fast and delish.
Made some chicken soup over the weekend.
Whole fresh bird from the meat market pressure cooked on high about 6mins a pound. Use about 1 to 1-1/2 cups of water with the bird.
Prep the veggies while he's working.
(1) whole yellow onion I like to wedge cut them for soups.
(1)lb of baby carrots
(4) celery stalks Cut about 1/2" wide
A couple cloves of fresh garlic chopped.
Heaping teaspoons each of Black pepper, salt, crushed red pepper, oregano and paprika.
Remove the chicken and wire rack. Chicken to a bowl and set aside to cool.
Leaving the water you added in the pot add (2) qts of chicken broth, (2) qts of water and "better than bouillon" (about (1) table spoon). Put in the veggies and spices.
On high pressure cook about (10) mins.
While that's working debone the bird and cube the meat.
Chop up about 1/2 bundle of fresh parsley.
When you're done with the bird release the pressure and add him into the veggie stock and stir it in. Add the parsley on top and seal it up. Cook
another (8) mins. with a natural release.
Egg noodles on the side. Enjoy.
Can't say enough good things about the Instant Pot. The Canadians that designed this did it right. They thought of everything design wise.

Well its almost 80 here today so “ for the game” we’re having bison burger sliders with lettuce ,tomatoes, and Monterey jack cheese , potato salad, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes in skinny girl poppy seed dressing and spinach dip with chips.
Many a time I have cooked up a box of Kraft mac-n-cheese and eaten the whole thing. Not as much these days, as I will add cubed ham to it and make a couple or three meals out of a box.
I'll be over at half time.

I do. My daughter gave me one couple of years ago for Christmas. I love my Instant Pot.
Last night I made Dal Makhani in the Instant Pot. I added some ground lamb and served it with Naan bread.

In my time here I have taken notice that every dish you post is both well plated and photographed. All worthy of Epicurious center folds.

Thank you. I've been working on my food plating and food photography but have a long way to go.
I love to cook and I'm a photographer by profession. I also love to hunt, forage for mushrooms and other wild edibles. With cooking I get to combine all of those passion.
Here meal last month where all of it came together. elk Shank cooked Osso Buco style with a wild mushroom Orso risotto.
The mushrooms were rehydrated aspen boletes.
and a selfie with the elk.
Same here, my wife eats like a kid.Going to toss this together and serve it over rice. Mom will of course turn her nose up to it. If it has taste, she is not a fan. Maybe not quite that bad but she prefers chicken fingers, fried fish or Olive Garden spaghetti and meat sauce. Mac n cheese on the side.

Same here ... everything must have butter on it. Since I take care of the cooking around here for the last (6) yrs or so ... she eats better. Not sure about the times I'm not looking
