🤯 Help with adulting: What the fuck should I cook for supper?!?!

Southern Chicken and Dumplings via the Instant Pot


INGREDIENTS
1 large or 2 medium boneless chicken breasts
6 cups chicken broth
2 ribs of celery, broken in half
1/2 onion (chunk)
salt & pepper to taste

FOR THE DUMPLINGS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbs baking powder
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 cup + 2 Tbs milk

INSTRUCTIONS
Cut each chicken breast in half and place pieces in Pot. Add chicken broth, celery, and onion.
Place lid onto Instant Pot and set vent to the sealed position.
Use the manual setting to select a 3 minute cook time at high pressure.

While chicken is cooking, prepare the dumplings by mixing flour, baking powder, salt, and milk until combined.
Turn onto a floured surface and roll to about 1/4 inch thickness (dough will be shaggy). Use a pizza cutter to cut into strips about 1-2 inch strips or squares.

After the cook time has finished, perform a quick pressure release.
Once pressure has released and valve has dropped, carefully remove lid. Remove and discard chunks of onion and celery. Remove chicken to a plate.
Add dough strips to hot broth and stir well.

Use the Saute function to simmer the broth and dumplings. Simmer until dumplings are cooked and broth has begun to thicken, about 15-20 minutes.
(Broth will continue to thicken more as it cools, but you are welcome to add a slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken it even more if desired). (Want to cheat? Buy a can of Homestyle Biscuits and use it instead of making your iwn dumplings. No need to roll them out, just pinch the dough into 1 inch pieces and toss it in the pot. These dumplings will be softer and less chewy than the homemade variety.)
While the dumplings are cooking, shred the chicken and return it to the insert pot, stirring to combine.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Hell yeah. I would tear this up. Chicken and dumplings are so underrated. Well all dumplings if you are looking for me to be honest.

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated

I just got back from the grocery store with everything I need to make a shepherd's pie tonight (ok, technically a cottage pie - let's not be pedantic).

 

[Chillygirl]

Beef stir fry tonight. Slice the beef thin on a diagonal (flank steak tonight) and coat with a couple tablespoons of corn starch and season with white pepper. Whatever veg is in the fridge. Sauce is lots of minced garlic and 2 parts fish sauce to one part oyster sauce and one part soy sauce. Cook the meat at a high temp quickly and set aside. Then veg. Drain off any excess liquid. Add the meat and the sauce and cook til the sauce is thick and glossy.

You all make adulting so much easier. (My arse is dragging badly due to the meds or else I would reply to everyone in turn.)

This recipe is only time consuming due to how long it takes to chop up all the veggies.

Instant Pot Beef Stew

▢1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
▢1 Teaspoon Salt
▢1 Teaspoon Pepper
▢1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning

▢1 Pound Potatoes, Cubed
▢2 ½ Cups Beef Broth
▢1 10 Ounce Can Tomato Sauce
▢3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
▢3 Tablespoons Water

(I add a bag of frozen peas cause.. I like peas and the green looks nice mixed with all the other colors.)

Instructions
1-Add the olive oil to the instant pot and turn on the saute function. When the oil starts to sizzle add the meat and season with the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

2-Cook the meat until Browned on all sides.

3-Add the beef broth to the instant pot and use a spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

4-Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion, carrots, potatoes, and tomato sauce.

5-Close the lid and steam valve on the instant pot.

6-Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before doing a quick release.

7-Mix together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl and stir into the stew until thickened.

Serving tip- make some biscuits to go with it!

I'm afraid I can't be of much help. I learned everything I know about cooking from a blacksmith.

I like improvising - I often come up with something that the family requests over and over. One that recently became a favorite:


Mango prawns and sweet peppers over rice.


I start by making a pot of gohan (sushi rice) plan 1/2 cup per serving

* Fresh or frozen Jumbo shelled and tailed prawns. Cut into chunks. Use 4-5 big prawns per serving
* Fresh small red/yellow/orange sweet peppers, cut in half the long way, then slice into thin half-round pieces. 1/4 cup
* Yellow onion diced 1/4 cup
* Diced garlic to taste
* Fresh basil
* Fresh or frozen mango - same amount as onions
*Use beef-rub type spice with fire roasted garlic, chilly powder, paprika, black and white pepper, and coffee.
* Braggs amino acids (use like soy sauce to taste)


Heat a skillet or wok with several tablespoons of butter, olive oil and salt,
Sauté onions until they begin to caramelize. You want it to fairly wet and saucy.
Add shrimp and sauté them for a minute on one side with onions spices and Braggs.
Stir the shrimp and add the peppers. Cook until shrimp turn pink all over.
Add basil and mango, more spice or just onion and garlic powder.
Add rice and stir.
Continue to cook until the rice gets slightly toasted.
Turn off the heat and let it stand covered for a few minutes before serving.

I’ve been told that it’s plate-licking good.

Lots of cans

Crockpot Taco Soup
1lb ground beef browned and grease drained
1 can pinto beans
1 can red kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 can Rotel (tomatoes and green chiles)
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 can sliced black olives
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch dressing
Enough water to cover
Cook on low 6 hours or High 3
I like to rinse the beans first…less gassy

Our cheat is doing breakfast for dinner - we've almost always got the ingredients in the house for something simple and quick.

It's always a winner, especially when you have kids.

 

[AlexBailey]

Well I’m not sure what it’s going to be tonight, especially as I just had a lunch of blue corn tacos with charred pineapple salsa and roasted tomato & red pepper salsa…….

Ooh. You just got my mouth wet.

 

[Fingerfuxs]

I’m making us pot pies this evening. With a simple garden salad . It’s brrrr cold outside for us anyway so a piping hot pot pie baked in the oven sounded good and I had them in the freezer. Turkey for her beef for me.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Seafood boil on the menu for tonight. Crab legs, shrimp, lobster, and clams. Plus corn, sausage, and potatoes for good measure.
