Chicken Pasta e Fagiole with Smoked Paprika

Came together quickly. I subbed out the pancetta, because I couldn’t find it, for bacon, but mostly followed it for the rest of it. Except the ground chicken, the only had the super lean nobody really wants to eat ground chicken. I think it could have use a bit more smoked paprika. Still pretty good though.

Chicken and Corn Chowder with Sweet Potatoes

I was tired after a long day, and made that same eggs and sausage dish from last week. I’ll try this next week.

Dan Dan Mian

So, I went and bought some Sichuan peppercorns, just sort of experimenting with those flavor profiles. I guess this pushed it a little too much far for Shannon. Which I understand. It made water taste odd, and left my mouth a bit numb. It was certainly tasty. I would be curious on how it would be from a restaurant. Anyways Ill be looking for more use of the peppercorns, but a seriously toned down instance.

Shepherd’s Pie

I’ve made this several times, i vary a bit this way and that. I added Parmesan to the potatoes along with the egg a bit more Worcestershire sauce and other adjustments. Still good.

Taco Salad

Good as always.
