- This stuff is great
- There is nothing stopping me from making this year round
and then i immediately forget

I love other people's stuffing. I made stuffing and gave myself food poisoning.
When I make it rather than "mashed potatoes made of bread" it's more like "slightly moist croutons". Breaks my heart.
Pick up a box on sale and put it in the cupboard. It's a useful base for some chicken pieces, or to make some vegetables into a casserole. Excellent with mushrooms. (Take into account the liquid that will be released by the cooking veggies, or else saute them first, before mixing with the stuffing)
This year, instead of a whole bird, I made Turkey Balls using 2 lbs ground turkey, 2 raw eggs, stuffing mix, then sauteed onion, celery, apple, mushrooms, (let cool before adding) Chardonnay, and cool broth. I added the usual spices, keeping in mind there's already some in the stuffing. I piled them in a lidded casserole, but you can also bake them on a sheet pan and serve with dips.

I made a bunch of stuffing not on Thanksgiving a few years ago. Was addicted to it and kept making it. But then ate it too often I got tired of it. This always happens to me though. I get excited about some food. Then I make it until I get tired of it and move on to the next thing.

Fruits. I don't have the habit of eating any fruit. It's super unhealthy and when I do remember to buy fruit when grocery shopping, I am always surprised how good it tastes, only to forget about it for a couple more months...
You and me both! Or I get into a fruit kick, then slow down after a bit, and what I have starts to go bad so I stop buying them all together.
Are you me
No, we are legion. I'm sure oodles of people fall into this fruit trap.

I'm basically a toddler when it comes to fruit. It can sit around on the counter looking all pretty for days and I won't touch it. But the moment my wife cuts some up, I'll devour it.
Maybe you just need a wife who likes to chop things 🤔

Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don't do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise
:::: spoiler ain't nobody got time for that :(
Instapot, just as good, 90 minutes
Unless you finish it in the oven, you won't get the Vital Crispies.

Someone who can do a "pull the pork apart" robot attachment for a crock pot could probably make a pile of money.
Although now I'm imagining a little robot treading in the crock pot like old timey winemaking, where they stomped on the grapes.
A handheld mixer works great.
Honestly, even just doing a whole shoulder with two forks only takes a few minutes. Though I don't shred mine down all the way.
Also, if you have a crock pot or oven, the cooking process is very simple and hands-off as well.

Stand mixer with a paddle attachment will shred meat in about 30 seconds.
Indian food mostly, but only because the best places are a drive away.
What's your favorite Indian dish?
I like a big bowl of Rogan Gosht with some chicken biryani (my wife's fav) and loads of naan. I'm not refined lol, just like that lamb and that chicken saffron yogurty stuff.

Brie. I never buy it on my own free will, but I am an absolute goblin when I see it at a party

Cottage cheese. It just looks wrong, and there’s all different qualities of it like - no, I don’t want any . . . Oh well I’ll just have a small, tiny bite. Mmh. Not bad. Probably just a little salt here and . . Mmh. Mm hmm. Yeah. Oh. Oh! now I get the whole ‘cottage cheese’ thing . . Ooh pineapple you say . . Oh man okay yes. Yes, absolutely this is awesome. Must remember to get some more next time.
(Spoiler: does not remember to get more next time.)
Not a big fan of it myself, but the best snack ever is some kettle chips and cottage cheese as the dip. It looks weird/gross, yet every one who has tried it has loved it. I usually sprinkle some black pepper on it prior.
Huge fan of chilli cheese fritos with cottage cheese as a dip.

Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.
I throw them in my salads
My "salads" are technically that due to having cucumber in them. But other than that it's mostly just cheese which I don't like with olives.
Have you tried Sicilian olives specifically? They almost have an umami flavour

- dace with salted black bean (and canned fish in general)
- banh mi
- sweet and sour pork
- deli cuts from the deli counter of the grocery store (been getting boar's head chipotle chicken breast)
- roasted peanuts (honey, spicy or Japanese style)
- melona

I don't strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.
Idk what it's called but my wife makes this chicken and pasta that uses parm garlic sauce and its 10/10. I know my issue is we make it then I over eat it which results in me hating it for a while and then the cycle repeats
I love egg nog, looked into how to make it. It's takes over an hour to make, so definitely won't get it out of season
dont forget to make it WAY before you need it- its not fun to try to power-chill hot fresh nog when guests will be there in an hour
Get outta here with that Hot Fresh Nog!
Is my new favorite thing to say.

Spinach puffs. 20 minutes in the oven for a quick and dirty not unhealthy meal. It’s delicious. It’s filling. It’s relatively cheap…. And for some reason I only make it once a month despite having some laying around in my freezer pretty much at all times.
Wait, spinach puffs up when you put it in the oven?!? Oil and spices or just straight-up frozen spinach directly in the oven?
A spinach puff is a pastry filled with spinach.
Eggnog. Probably best for my health that it's only readily available for a few weeks of the year. We make our own but still, we don't do that but til we're reminded it's eggnog season.
