Home cooking vs take out

So I'm still super new here, it's very possible I just haven't found the right corner of the site yet.
Any who, I'm noticing very seldom home cooking and meal prep are discussed as a whole.
I'm a huge Foodie on top of being a Gainer. I love cooking and baking. I'm so excited for this time of year and making all sorts of great food and eating it of course lol.

So I guess my questions are, where are my fellow home cooks/bakers at? What are some of your go-to dishes, especially this time of year?


It's the perfect time of year for soups, stews, and roasts

Wifey and I have too many faves for me to name here 😁

If pressed, I’d say we enjoy doing a homemade butter chicken and other similar Indian-inspired rice dishes, plus a sausage pasta dish with herbs and peppers.

Per request, here's a crockpot version of the stuffed pepper soup:

I personally prefer to make it on the stove in a dutch oven.
-1lb ground beef and 1lbs ground sweet Italian sausage - add just a splash of water to the pot and cook the meats together over medium heat
-Remove the meat from the pot, just setting aside for a couple minutes
-Add one whole chopped sweet onion, cooking it in the fat from the meat
-About 3 mins in, add 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic, continue to cook down for a minute
-Now add 3 whole chopped bell peppers. Cooking them down with the onions and garlic for another 5 min
-Add your meat back in, also adding 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp Italian seasoning
-Once combined, add 4 cans of diced tomatoes and 2 cups of water, letting everything heat in and start bubbling. Add salt and pepper to your taste.
-once it's bubbling, reduce the heat to a simmer, put the lid on a leave it alone for at least an hour. Don't touch it, just let it work it's magic.
I personally make this around lunchtime so we can eat it at dinner time, letting it simmer for a couple hours
I will either make rice or corn bread to go with it. I don't add rice to the same pot because I usually freeze some.

Happy eating πŸ₯°


Sounds amazing πŸ‘ Anything in a crock pot truly hits the spot when colder weather sets in! Not quite there yet in my area, but we’re getting closer. I like to do a corned beef in a crock pot with all the dry seasoning goodies I can throw in there.

One of my favourite soup recipes would have to be Broccoli/ Stilton soup.

I'd very much be interested in seeing any recipes you send my way πŸ˜€
