Ugh, I have a fucking team meeting in 15 minutes and all I have to eat at my desk is whey protein. Plus, I am going to be missing out on the cooking discussion. Stupid corporate bullshit!

@K.Thrace - I am sure it would work fine with vegan soy sausage. I have gotten some from the snooty grocery store by my house and it is quite good and tastes like the real thing.

Hmm, that is a thought. I really rarely try to cook Italian-style food. Earlier this week, I made a alfredo chicken with farfalle pasta, and I just wasn't pleased with the outcome. I kind of ruined it by browning the garlic too long, and it was just too garlic-y. Which seems impossible as much as I love garlic. My…

It takes a little effort, but I have found that people love the spicy spinach sausage balls I make.  If you are interested, I'll edit in the recipe.

I have some boneless chicken thighs in the fridge, and I am looking for some different way of tackling them. Any suggestions?

Okay, @avclub-752c325f9cae94bbbd34b6b4b697fe2f:disqus , let me rephrase.  If you don't have a beautiful cut of steak, you can turn it into something incredible by cooking it sous vide. I am a "grill it" purist when you have a good steak, but you can take something like rib cap and make it fork tender using a sous vide…
