flailing in my kitchen v3

How can I be sad when I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Odds 'n Ends

Just another post of three recipes that I'm lumping together for no apparent reason. All of these recipes are from Budget Bytes.

Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry

Remember that salad we had a while ago? Well we turned the rest of the cabbage into stir fry.

For some reason I cleaned off the sides of the pan after we took the picture.

My mom bought me this huge 6 quart pan years ago, and I finally took it out of the box. Which was a good idea, because the first time I ever stir fried cabbage I spilled it everywhere since it barely fit in the pan.


Fluffy Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes

Well, at least I think that's what recipe my sister used. I was feeling mentally drained after work on Friday, so she cooked this on her own.

Our mashed potatoes weren't really all that fluffy since they were only hand mashed. But I personally like it with chunks. I know my sister deviated from the recipe, but that was mostly because she didn't really measure everything.

Oh, and she added a whole head of roasted garlic.

That garlic on the side eventually got mixed into the pot of mashed potatoes.


German Potato Salad

And this is what I used the other half of the potatoes for.

My sister wasn't home, so I had to take this on my iPhone.

I probably should have cut the potatoes before boiling them because I think they still had a bit of a crunch in the middle. Oh well, I've talked to people that eat potatoes raw so I figured it's okay.

If I make this again, I would cut the potatoes in half before boiling, and also use way more bacon than it calls for. I doubled the bacon, but it still felt like it could have used more.

I should have put this in a spot that got better lighting.
