I need a widow to speak to, please. Please. I’m in a bad place with the holiday. I don’t know who to ask for help. But I should not be alone right now.

I made potato kugel.

The house smells so freaking good from this chicken & potato dish. I can make it using only one dish. #food #chickenandpotatoes #bakedchicken #shabbatdinnerforone #personalchef

I also made the gluten-free pita (it wasn’t pita at all)! #falafel #food #jewapron

I had the turnip greens with blackberry-soy glazed chicken meatballs and mashed potatoes. The black cardamom is for smokiness. There’s a whole head of garlic in here as well as the juice & zest of two lemons, 5 bay leaves, cayenne, and 22 hour slow cooked chicken stock. $5 to buy, 45 minutes to clean, three hours to stew, gone in mere minutes. #greens #turnipgreens #foodporn #personalchef

Three bunches of cleaned and trimmed turnip greens overflowing twice as tall as the black wok they’re in
Stewed turnip greens, now cooked down to only one quart

The garlic chicken meatballs and mash. I browned them up and popped them into the oven while I made the glaze. There’s six cloves of garlic in the meatballs and demiglace in the blackberry-soy glaze. Why? Because I could, that’s why! #meatballs #food

The meatballs put back into the almost-finished glaze so that it clings to the garlic meatballs as it thickens.
8 of the sticky and glossy meatballs piled onto a mound of russets that were mashed with earth balance

You want #kosheronabudget ? $3.81 per serving. Suck my #coqauvin . #foodporn

Two sprigs of rosemary, three bay leaves, and 10 sprigs of thyme, held together with a twist tie because I don’t have kitchen twine. The background is my oven slash stove. It’s clean.
My dark navy crock pot interior that’s about to go into a 300F oven, filled with the browned chicken, sautéed Vidalia onions, carrots, mushrooms, and sliced garlic, the herbs, the strained marinade, and 2C of chicken stock that I slow cooked for 22 hours.
A leg and a thigh on a bed of mashed potatoes with carrots, mushrooms, and the pan sauce that I made from the strained liquid in the crock pot that I added demiglace to and then reduced down to a nappe. It’s served on a charcoal plate sitting on a woven mat of various purples and magentas.

2/ •Preheat your oven to 375F.
•Line your pan with foil or suffer the consequences. •Mix everything together until it’s all the same color.
•Set your tenders aside for later
•Cook your potatoes uncovered on the center rack for half an hour to 45 minutes until they’re cooked almost all the way through.
•Sandwich your chicken strips between the potatoes. Do not lay them on top of the potatoes or suffer the consequences. Cook for another 30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to make sure you’re not going to get sick. I don’t know how thick you cut your chicken.
•For a browner exterior, pop you pan under the broiler for the last 10 minutes.
•garnish with parsley

I am super curious how this would work with preserved lemons.

The chicken will be less salty than the potatoes. The chicken is good. The potatoes are GOOD. And your kitchen will smell so good in less than fifteen minutes.

Not bad for my first and then second time. The picture of the plate of tamales is from the second batch that I put in to steam today. I filled them with more masa than the first batch. #tamalesdeelote #tamales #tamal #tamale #fromscratch #homemadetamales #personalchef #food #foodporn #parevetamales #kosheronabudget #jewapron

The hydrated masa is spread almost evenly onto a corn husk that was placed on my dark gray and purple cutting board
10 fat tamales tied with a bit of corn husk, in a charcoal bowl that kind of looks like a plate.

The best ice cream sandwich you will ever have, is between two #frenchmacarons . I did it last night. Oh, and that’s vanilla extract in with my French meringue and the filling in the image is blackberry. #personalchef #hamantaschen #purim #jewapron #kosheronabudget #frenchmacaron #macaron

French meringue and vanilla extract in the steel bowl of my stand mixer. There is a black plastic handled spatula with white silicon at 2:00 and the vanilla extract that splashed around the bowl is visible because I had t scraped down the sides yet

If you’re not mandating masks when you have a Shoah survivor in their 80s come to speak, you’re telling them that you think they should need to survive Crown Cough as well.

#Shabbatdinnerforone this week by #JewApron is Vietnamese style #eggrolls that I made from chicken. 19c per eggroll means this is indeed #kosheronabudget #kosherstyleonabudget #food

Like 28 rice paper wrapped spring rolls sitting on a metal wire rack, waiting to be fried. One can see the filling through the wrapper.
Five of the egg rolls frying in oil in my black wok. They’re arranged in a square- horizontal on top and bottom, vertical on the sides, and one in the center at an angle going from 11 o clock to 4:30
Five egg rolls fried until golden brown, plopped on a charcoal colored plate, with one of them cut diagonally through the middle so that the inside is revealed.

I made a batch of $60 #demiglace for $7 because #JewApron is #kosheronabudget . Each 2T cube only cost me 23c in ingredients.

1/ This is an augmented version of a chickenrecipe from #RuhamaShitrit. This is not a political statement. This is just a recipe.

•1lb boneless skinless chx, trimmed of fat and cut into tender-sized shapes because who can afford actual tenders
•6-8 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
•Half of one vidalia onion, thinly sliced into half moons
•Four cloves of garlic- grated or minced- I don’t recommend microplaned for this but go for it. And I would NEVER tell you to reduce the amount of garlic in a recipe… but if you felt the need to in order to compensate for the microplane, I couldn’t stop you.
•1t salt
•1/2 t ground black pepper
•1/2t paprika- I used sweet
•1/2t turmeric powder
•1T dijon mustard
•1T pomegranate molasses
•1/4C olive oil
•¼C water

DO NOT skimp on your oil & water or your food will be both undercooked and burned to the point where it will take two weeks of soaking in dishwashing enzyme tablets & scrubbing to get off the shmutz. Ask me how I know.

Before and after: day two of #demiglace The mock veal stock slow-cooked for 22 hours and now the house smells like Thanksgiving concentrate. Now to turn it into aspic!

You’d think that something both #glutenfree and #dairyfree would be worse than the original, but this recipe is so yummy that even without the good stuff, they’re still better than a restaurant. And now I have enough to last me for two Shabbat dinners! #kosheronabudget #personalchef #celiac #crabrangoon #creamcheeserangoon #shabbatdinnerforone #jewapron #food #homemade

Day one of #demiglace made from the leftover 62c/lb turkey’s back, neck, and wings, and some $1.39/lb beef feet. I’m making a $60 sauce for about $7. It’ll take three days, but I can do it! The only burgundy I could find on sale was a Bordeaux but I can do it! #personalchef

He’s allergic to egg yolks, which means that I get to have my favorite breakfast all week long! #foodporn #fromscratch #eggsbenedict #eggs #food #breakfast I made the #hollandaise with a Dutch whisk because I’m adorable.
