FACES of WATER

New design! What do you think?

Once I dry brine my steak for the first time there was no going back!

When you only have potatoes and ground beef left, you can still make dinner in 30 minutes

Excited to use a sensor for my steak! 🥩 stay tuned for the results.

First time making chicken parmigiana!! How did I do ?

Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta (Serves 4-6)
Ingredients
For the chicken and pasta:
* 8-12 oz linguine, fettuccine, or penne pasta
* 1-1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cut into strips or bite-sized pieces
* 2-3 Tbsp Cajun seasoning (divided)
* 2 Tbsp olive oil or butter (for cooking chicken)
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the sauce and veggies:
* 2 Tbsp butter
* 1 red bell pepper, sliced
* ½ yellow onion, diced
* 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
* 4-8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
* 1-2/3 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned fire-roasted, drained)
* 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
* ½-¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
* ¼ tsp dried basil or Italian seasoning (optional)
Homemade Cajun seasoning (mix together, makes extra):
* 2 tsp smoked paprika
* 1 tsp each: garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme
* ½-1 tsp cayenne (adjust for spice)
* ½ tsp black pepper
* ½ tsp salt
Instructions
1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, drain, and set aside.
2. Season and cook chicken: Pat chicken dry. Toss with 1-2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat oil/butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temp), about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside. Slice if in larger pieces.
3. Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms (if using). Cook 3-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Stir in diced tomatoes and cook another 1-2 minutes.
4. Make the sauce: Pour in heavy cream. Add remaining Cajun seasoning (to taste), Parmesan, and any extra herbs. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly (3-5 minutes). Taste and adjust seasoning—add reserved pasta water if too thick.
5. Combine and serve: Add cooked chicken and pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce. Heat through 1-2 minutes. Garnish with extra Parmesan, chopped parsley, or green onions. Serve immediately with garlic bread or a side salad.

My two favorite things! Smashed potatoes and Steak 🥩

First time I dry aged my steak for 24 hours. The result was amazing 🤩
