Cook book? Do you gotta
Yes I do! My mom has been collecting cookbooks forever, I find myself doing the same. On Fb I have following a cooking influser Cassie Yeung. She makes all sorts of Asian food. Just got her cookbook

@Lowell Lane my mom did something very special, she went through all her favorite recipe for all the Jewish holiday, printed them out and organized them into a large binder
Quick Poll : what's your dinner struggle?
Be honest, I won't judge! What's the hardest part of dinner at your house right now? Figuring out WHAT to cook? Grocery prices? No time or energy? Picky eaters? Cooking just for one or two? If it's something else, tell me in the comments. This helps me plan what to share next!

@Lowell Lane thing is she says she wants something but picks out parts of it, example wants pork fried rice, but will pick out the pieces of pork

I myself am not picky, I want to try do many different foods, I am having health issues now and grocery prices are quickly becoming a issue with me out on medical.
My mom ate dinner!
My mom has dementia, so finding a meal that she will eat and it still is healthy is sometimes a task. Tonight I made roasted chicken legs with roasted potatoes. I cut the potatoes into thick rounds and cody them with avocado oil, zitar seasoning, and a little bit of extra pepper, tossed it around, and then laid a single layer on the bottom of a sheet pan. I then placed a wire rack on top of them and did the same thing to the chicken legs. I did add a bit of McCormick's chicken topping seasoning, and some additional black pepper. Then, place them in a single layer on the wire rack. I'm cooked at four hundred degrees for about thirty five minutes. These are what I used plus black pepper.

Pizza Recipe
Why pizza? It's universally loved, it's flexible, it's cheap to make, and it makes lots of left-overs. Think about it - Ordering a pizza usually costs around $30 these days. Why spend that on one pizza when you could spend that on ingredients and make 10-20 pizzas at home, and take pride in knowing you did it yourself? Especially as a father, it doubles as a lesson to show and include my child. INGREDIENTS/SHOPPING LIST: (Based on California prices) - All-purpose flour (recommend 10 pound bag; won't use it all at once, but smarter to buy in bulk) Roughly costs $10-$15 (or a deal on Amazon for 3 5-pound bags for $15) - Tomato sauce or puree (8oz-12oz can), usually $3-$5 - Active dry yeast, usually $2-$3 - Granulated sugar (again, recommend buying in bulk), roughly $5 - Salt and pepper (ranges in price; as low as $3 for a small pack, or grinders and bulk pack for around $20-$30 but last around 3-6 months) - Italian seasoning (large 6oz container lasts a while), roughly $3-$5 at Chef Stores - Olive oil (32 fluid ounce bottles are usually $10 at Trader Joe's - pouring spout is a bonus) - Onion and Garlic powders (optional, usually $2-$5 each) - Honey - (optional) Varies. I use Montana Sweet Clover honey from Chicohoneyco.com, starts around $12 - Truffle oil - (Optional). Can buy various sizes off Amazon for around $10-$30 - Toppings (Aside from cheese, all optional): - Shredded mozzarella cheese (or other blend, family size), roughly $8-$10 - Pepperoni - Store brand is usually cheaper and just as good, and I recommend turkey pepperoni (roughly $5-$10 per bag) - Mushrooms - Portabella or White Button (roughly $5 per pack). Better to buy whole and slice yourself, roughly $3-$5 - Sliced olives - Roughly $3 per can RECIPE (Imperial units): YEAST MIX - Water - 2 cups - Yeast (active dry) - 2 tablespoons - Sugar - 1 teaspoon These are to make the yeast, which you'll add to the flour mixture. Heat the water to between 90F-110F (have a thermometer handy, such as an analog bi-metallic stem thermometer with adjustable wing nut, and be sure it's calibrated). While hot/cooling down, add the sugar and stir well.

Skirt Steak
I sent out skirt steak yesterday for dinner tonight. What I had on hand was onions and zucchini and spices. Skirt steak with caramelized onions and zucchini. It was good. Vegetables very tasty. Meat good flavor but a little tough. We rated vegetable as 9. Meat 7. Next time I am going to try it with chicken breast.

@Lowell Lane have you tried to velvet the meat, it helps tenderize tough meat cuts

You could make it with cabbage, and soy sauce and any Asian style stir fry sauce. A nappa cabbage or bok choy or thin slices of Brussels sprouts and mushrooms
