KFC Double Down

Via Peter

Just as salty as I imagined, but not as filling. I was easily able to finish the whole thing without a break. Very cheesy, yet not messy. A+

Roast Squash

Chili Chocolate

Inspired by the film Chocolat, we got some chocolate with chili from Vivani.  It goes down smooth, but there definitely is a hot aftertaste to it!

A simple oven-roasted potato dish with tilapia added halfway through.  Served with plain ol' mayonnaise.  It may not be pretty, but it's tasty.

Roasted Potatoes

Helmi roasted another chicken, but this time I put it over a bed of potatoes and red peppers.  The result?  Some of the tastiest veggies I've ever made.  That glistening shine?  Pure chicken fat.

I have to say that Irish bacon is different than our bacon. The density/ texture resembles back bacon. Nevertheless, bacon in all of its forms is a gift from the gods. Great breakfast!
