I think milk street would good for family meals. The instant pot recipes have all been easy.

I find their app really easy to use compared to something like Epicurious, and their in-house talent (especially Melissa Clark) is top-notch. It's not the cheapest service but I've rarely made a stinker from recipes I've found there.

So I’m going to roast some chicken today 350 for about 115 minutes. Under the arch I’m gonna roast the potatoes. I’m the past if I roast them together the potatoes get burnt. When should I put them in?

At 350 they could probably use 45-60 minutes.
I have been doing Hello Fresh for the last couple weeks after getting a $130 gift card.
The food is really good and I'm making things I don't usually make for meals. Living on my own I tend to make simple meals and then have left overs of the same meal the next few days all the time. It get's boring. I'm loving being able to change it up more often. Granted I still have left overs because the minimum order is 2 servings per meal, but I change it up so I'm not having it 2 nights in a row. The meals are also more complex / gourmet than what I make on my own. I tend to grill a meat or bake a fish and have rice and a veggie over and over again and not explore different recipes that require many different ingredients.
So far it's a success though expensive. I'll probably do it for a little while and save the recipes to make the stuff I really loved on my own. Just need to figure out where I can buy stuff like southwest seasoning and southwest paste. Never have seen those in the local grocery stores.
If anyone is interested in trying out Hello Fresh, they are running a promotion where current members can share their code which gives people $70 of their first box. My code is below if anyone wants to try it.

I have a feeling that something like "Southwest Spice" is just referring to their own custom spice blend, but I bet you can find similar pre-made blends at the store if your palate isn't quite ready to make them up on your own.I have been doing Hello Fresh for the last couple weeks after getting a $130 gift card.

do you think their Southwest seasonings has any of the following flavors- chili powder, garlic, cumin, or salt? maybe oregano? try a good Adobo blend. if you are enjoying branching out and want to repeat the recipes on your own, follow the general formula and method but experiment with spices. pick up a few blends of different profiles and try them out to figure out what you love.
you can turn your favorite blends into a paste by blending them with anything from water and garlic cloves, to a can of tomato paste or olive oil- depends on the application.

The wife isn't around tonight so I went real decadent with it. Reverse seared NY strip, charred asparagus, some dressed baby arugula for a little bite, and served with a béarnaise that I finally made either not broken or too thick. Paired with a saison blended with pinot noir juice.
I'll keep the béarnaise warm with the sous vide and probably use some leftovers for a benedict or omelette tomorrow.

I was going to go out and grab food things tonight. However, I figured since I went to not one but two grocery stores this weekend I should make a thing.
So I made tacos (duh!).
Cajun spice crawfish tacos with roasted corn, bell pepper, zucchini, and Thai chilis. Oh yeah and I added three different sauces just to fuck with my mouth nerves a bit.

My wife loves our Milk Street cookbook.
They're mostly simple recipes, focused on cuisine outside of Europe/US. So in a way it sometimes feels like ATK: World Edition.
The reward to effort ratio on most of the recipes is pretty high.

I subscribed. Picked out 4 recipes for this week. Made the miso salmon last night. I think chorizo black bean chili tonight since my wife had her braces tightened yesterday.

It makes me miss traditional japanese breakfasts: rice, grilled fish, tamago, miso, and some pickled veg.
But that's just WAY too much work first thing in the morning. lol
