    Default Philly Cheese Steak... Soup.

    oh yeah.

    1. Roast your beef. I like a chuck roast braised in broth with onion, garlic & peppers. Slice thin and reserve the beef and the broth.
    2. Saute your onions and bell peppers in the soup pot. When they look good, pour in the beef broth.
    3. In your roux pan, melt butter till it's about done bubbling. Whisk in your flour - I like arrowroot powder.
    4. Keep whisking, and add cream, a bit at a time.
    5. Keep whisking! Add shredded mozzarella cheese (or cream cheese), a bit at a time. (I don't know what kind of cheese they use in Philly, but it's white.)
    6. When you're tired of whisking, or the roux is done, stir it into the soup pot.
    7. Add the sliced beef, salt & spice to taste. Serve with bread.

    Default Salmon Chowder

    1. Melt the butter in the pot.

    2. Add fresh salmon that has been skinned and cut into cubes (or leave the skin on, I'm not gonna stop you, you freak), sprinkle with salt and saute until just about cooked, then reserve.

    3. Add chopped onion, let them get sweaty, then add all your other veggies. I did corn, garlic, jalapeno and zucchini. Potato and leek would also be good.

    4. When those are looking good, add a generous cup of broth and a generous cup of heavy cream.

    5. Add spices. Salt & pepper are always good. Also rosemary.

    6. If you have a hand blender and you want it smooth, now's a good time to use it. If you want it thicker, add some starch.

    7. Cover & simmer about 15 min, add the salmon back in, and simmer another 5 min.

    Default Gratin. Gratis.

    starting strength coach development program
    You can always do this with the classic ingredient, potatoes. It's also fun to make it with cauliflower. I have fond memories of my mom's no-fuss microwave cauliflower casserole, and this is an acceptable substitute.

    1. Chop up your fresh head of calliefleur (or potatoes, you traditionalist). Steam for 5-10 minutes. I guess you could microwave it, too. Just so it starts to get tender, and don't overcook it. Yeah, you could use frozen, and think you're saving yourself time, but then you have to thaw it and drain all that water.

    2. Grease a casserole pan, and put in the colliflower.

    3. In your sauce pan, melt the butter, add some chopped garlic, ground pepper and whatever else, whisk in the starch, start adding cream, then add about half of that big pile of shredded cheese.

    4. Pour the sauce over the collieflour. Top with the rest of the shredded cheese.

    5. Bake at 350 for, oh, I dunno. Give it one episode of Schitt's Creek, then check it. If it's not browned perfectly, maybe watch as much of a You Tube fitness video as you can stand & come back. You know what to look for: golllden browwwn.
