Mac and cheese! I tend to make this type of thing whenever I'm feeling lazy, good way to get some protein in me while enjoying all the wonders of the starchy cheesy goodness that is mac & cheese

I'll be adding a recipe for how I tend to make these to my recipes page in the near future

Gist of it is that it's 1 box of mac and cheese, 1 can of tuna, some ranch, and some buffalo sauce (hot sauce + oil/butter), as well as a sprinkle of paprika

Had more apples, wanted to bake again, so decided to take another crack at making the bread recipe I found a month ago. Added more apples and used butter instead of vegetable oil this time.

Tastes even better than last time with the tweaks, and with way nicer looking crust. I've added the tweaks I did to the recipe this time as options on my version of the bread recipe

Very nice bread. Wanted to bake a bread over the weekend and needed to use up some apples, and this recipe turned out quite well for that purpose. More info and recipe here

Very cozy tasting, makes one feel warm. More info and recipe here

Note: As of around early 2024 I've stopped eating meat other than fish. I stand by my positive anaylses of the taste of these foods, it's just a personal ethics thing

Yes there is a bit of a gap here between these two. I'll be filling it in when I get a chance

Tex-Mex Lasagna!!!

Extremely good, would very much recommend this idea. Recipe here

This is... not what the previous trainwreck inspired, hahaha. But this was a very good regular lasasgna

Lasagna noodles, queso, ragu, and pizza rolls. This was awful, but it inspired something better

Spinch

A night when I didn't know what else to make myself, busy cramming for a final that I'd fail the class if I didn't finish the work for, I made the f### it! It's canned chili with spray cheese and flaming hot cheetos

Mmm, pizza rolls and queso

This was the worst thing I've ever tasted

Pizza! First food I had at the house that I later ended up moving into around 2022-2024 for the latter half of college. Roommate's sibling was renting the house and me and them ended up moving in for the last two years of college we were there together

So this thing is a story, lol. Me and my roommate were wandering around our dorm. We happened to be going through the different public fridges in the kitchens in the different floors. When had we walked down to the third floor, we were from the fourth this year, we found a cake with a sticky note on it saying "old cake, feel free to it!". So, we happily obliged!

But wait, there's more! We actually tried the cake, and oh my God it was... not good, lmao. So we ended up actually returning the cake back to the fridge we found it in.

As "homemade" as you can call throwing together some ingredients from a container is, heh. Picture was taken at 11:30pm, so me and my roommate were up late cooking. iirc we were out of eggs with this cake, so we used a couple containers of applesauce as a replacement, and it turned out really well. Happy we decided to throw this thing together.

Casey's! I don't have any of these back home, and I was incredibly surprised to learn this gas station makes its own pizzas. And even more surpising to me, they're open 24/7! And that means everything is open 24/7. Meaning I have literally decided "hey, I want a pizza" at 2 in the morning some nights, and got a freshly baked pizza from Casey's. This place is fantastic.

These were fun to throw together. Went to the local farmers market, and there was a vendor there selling some meat. Tried buying some ground beef, but he had run out. Asked if he had any other ground meats, and this was it. So I decided to go for it. Worked out really well surprisingly! They were a little bit more gamey than I'm used too, but overall the flavor was great. Better than turkey burgers. Makes sense though, lamb is a red meat.

Nice bowl of government cheese melted into shells and a bottle of Dr. Pepper. Also, first Pyrex bowl! Love these things, very nice to have a bowl you can both eat out of and put in the oven. Have since gotten a mostly-matching set of these, and the start of another with the built-in handles

Was craving a s'more, and it always tastes better cooked over a fire than in a microwave. So, I decided to improvise with what was convenient for me at the time ;)

5/16/24 Update: This was probably not the best idea I've ever had. The stuff that's in candles isn't that healthy to eat. You probably shouldn't do this, if you're in a pinch... just put them in a microwave like a normal person, lol

Made with spaghetti noodles, but hey. Noodles are noodles.

Went to Dairy Queen with my family, and we decided to get some burgers.

Amazing salsa, great food. Proper-ish Mexican food is on a whole different level to almost everything else.

Who doesn't like coffee cake ^w^

Really good cookies. Recipe originally intended for just making a single cookie, however after realizing they were pretty good I multiplied the recipe by 8x to make a small batch with them. Would recommend

I've got the recipe posted here for those curious to make some themself

Last food I ate out in public before the pandemic hit where I lived. Enjoyable experience, good sandwich, and the mac and cheese was nice

Was starting my undergrad at college in Fall of 2020. When visiting there the first couple times, had to explore the town with to try out the local food. Happened to stumble across some Greek food place whilst there. Very very good, shame I didn't go there more often while I was going to college there.

Taco Bell has made some great things over the years. This is one of them.

Have you ever tried putting buffalo sauce with a bunch of breaded chicken and pasta? It's amazing, and if you haven't you should totally try it.

These things are almost perfect. The only thing that takes away from them is they're filled with chedder instead of cream cheese.

I got this from the international food store near me, which also happens to also have a restaraunt inside of it. The food was great, hope I can go back there again sometime soon.
