I am a working dad who likes to cook. It isn't always fancy or pretty but I make sure everyone eats. My lousy photography proves it isn't AI.

@MicahTischler I cooked the onions and peppers down quite a bit, not totally caramelized. The pepper didn't add much to the dish but I had one I needed to use up.

Okay I really need to go to the grocery store. This is what I came up with using the ingredients on hand. It is bratwurst and gnocchi with onions and bell peppers in a garlicky bechamel sauce.

We had burrito bowls for dinner last night. I like this meal because they are relatively healthy, filling, and easy to make.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

@free_style_chef Yes, they were delicious. Definitely not health food though.

I usually don't make dinner on Sunday nights, but sometimes I experiment. These are salami and cheese rolled up in pizza dough. I drizzled them in herby garlic butter.

@zillaah707 Those look great. Do you think they would freeze and reheat well? I need some make ahead meals for the kids this summer.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

@DutchRojas I won't argue. Fries are just a delivery device for sauce. Eat what tastes good to you.

We had poke bowls for dinner tonight. It is weird that the kids say they don't like fish, but they love it raw.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

I made a lazy meal last night. Chicken fingers from the freezer, brussels sprouts, and honey mustard dip made with homemade mustard.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

@FreddySpicer Okay, that is the official name now.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

I am not sure what to call this but it is dang good. It is celery, carrots, onions, bell pepper, garlic, navy beans, chicken stock and pulled pork. It is somewhere in between BBQ white chili and ham and beans.

My mint plant needed to be trimmed so I "had" to make a couple mojitos.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

I smoked some pork butts for my daughter's confirmation brunch. There was plenty of leftovers to restock the deep freezer too.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

I had the smoker going for some pulled pork so I decided to throw a meatloaf in for dinner. Smoked meatloaf is next level good.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

I made fish and shrimp on sauteed spinach for lunch today. On a whim I seasoned the seafood with barbecue rub. The combo of sweet salty and spicy was delicious.

My wife was craving beef enchiladas. She gets what she wants. We had enchiladas, rice and beans on a Fiestaware plate just like a proper Tex-Mex restaurant.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

@SciFiMom13 Not this time.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

Last night I grilled homemade bratwurst. We ate them on a bun with homemade sauerkraut and homemade mustard.

[FamilyChef @WeeknightDinner]

It is a perfect afternoon for an after mowing cocktail. Gin and tonic for me and sweet chai iced tea with Bourbon for the Mrs.

@goodbreffis Google Alton Brown's recipe. It is mostly booze, and is fabulous.
