I made a Mexican-style lasagna tonight that looks amazeballs but I’m afraid it might be too spicy too eat. Once more, into the fray— Thanks for looking! 😎👍

Soup batch of the week: I guess it’s like a faux beef stew: potatoes, northern beans, mushroom, onion, carrot, peppers, garlic, house veg broth, and secret hobo spices. Contains wheat, soy, dairy. Thanks for looking! 😎👍

Today’s soup of the week is vegetable minestrone from almost complete scratch; although, I admit I didn’t grow the veggies or make the pasta.
Thanks for looking! 😎👍

Homemade pizzas are back on the menu since I can turn on my oven without turning my place into one again!

This one is just onion, sauce, cheese, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and my patented blend of secret hobo spices.
Thanks for looking! 😎👍

Currently imploring the gods of the autumn equinox by creating a soup/stew of sorts. Perhaps a jambalaya, since I just added rice and lowered to a simmer. Blessed be 😎👍

So good that I had to make another one today, but this one is sans provolone. Double stack mater & mayo with pesto on honey wheat. Pro tip: Sunflower kernels work just as well as pine nuts for a fraction of the cost. Thanks for looking! 😎👍

The end of an era: the last two spicy blackened eggplant and red bean burritos from the batch I made in May. As soon as it’s cool enough to cook again, I’ll have to restock my freezer again. Served here with queso blanco and secret hobo spices. Thanks for 👀! #NotQuiteVegan #TacoTuesday #DiosMioMang
