Hello! I forgot to make an intro post when I moved to this instance. Ope!

I am Nessie. For entertainment, I make messes and then try and figure out how to clean them up. Aka I’m an artist, haha.

I’m interested in lots of stuff! Stuff like this:

#Introduction #Today

#whatsfordinner Roasted chicken breasts with smoky maple rub and Brussels sprouts & squash with pecans & craisins from “Meals with Maria” #autumnvibes🍁 #scratchcooking

Made this crockpot tortellini soup that I saw on Instagram. Added red pepper flakes to amp up the flavor. Super tasty. #soupweather #scratchcooking #rainydayfood

Rainy days require chicken soup. #rainyday #chickensoup #whatsfordinner #scratchcooking #iusedditalini

Chicken noodle soup in a blue and white ceramic bowl.

Used the stock to make Jambalaya -- I had some kielbasa that needed to be used up and apart from celery all the ingredients on hand.

The house smells amazing right now.

#Sunday #Homeooking #ScratchCooking

A bowl of jambalaya in a dinner bowl. The rice is golden and flecked with tomatoes, thyme, and yellow bell peppers. Lots of chunks of chicken and smoked sausage are in the tumble.

Strained and clarified the chicken stock I made last night. Rufus decided he needed to be in the pic.

Edit to add: The stock was made with some freezer burnt thighs I excavated. So ,in the spirit of waste-not-want-not, I turned it into that golden stock, along with a few chicken backs, carrot, onion, celery, bell peppers, tomatoes, parsley and coriander. It's now my favourite chicken stock combination.

Three jars, of varying sizes, filled with homemade caramel-coloured chicken stock. In the background is a black cat tail, whose tip is curled.

Current state. Another four hours needed.

Will be used in tomorrow’s jambalaya.

#InMyKitchen #ScratchCooking

A stockpot filled with bone-in chicken, aromatics,veg, and water on the hob. A more than healthy scattering of black pepper floats on top.

Tomatoes marinating in olive oil, garlic, fresh basil, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Chicken marinating in a similar mixture (with vinegar - chicken not shown). It all goes in the oven together. The house is redolent of basil. #whatsfordinner #kitchenimprov #scratchcooking

Cherry tomatoes marinating in a blue bowl.

Marinade of fresh basil, olive oil, red wine vinegar

Bunches of basil on a bamboo cutting board.

While at a local independent grocer, they announced chicken legs at half price when I was right next to them! I took it as a sign .

Scratch-made chicken stock is currently blipping way on the hob. tomorrow, it (and the chicken) will be turned into tamales.

A pot of stock on the hob. In the water we can see fresh herbs and halved cherry tomatoes. There may be onions and chicken peeking underneath the green and red.

Last time I did this I stone ground my own meal, and spit gravel out every other bite...

Best enchiladas ever
