I made q buffalo chicken cheese dip for superbowl this year..I forgot about mac n cheese...

[opulence]

don't know what type of vegetarian you are (if you consume dairy or not), but for a departure from the standard mashed potato recipe you can do a cauliflower puree w with roasted garlic, heavy cream and butter (or sub out some kinda soy variation).

No I do not consume dairy...

My diet mainly consist of fresh fruit...fresh veggies...legumes..whole grains like quinoa..and nuts..I identify myself as a vegetarian cause I eat fish on occasions...

But I cook differently for my family...I actually saw a cauliflower recipe I was considering...thanks for your idea

What did you inject it with?

I make my own. 1 stick of butter 1/4 cup vinegar. 1/4 cup chicken broth. 2 tablespoons of sugar and whatever herbs and spices you like. I use the traditional sage/thyme/rosemary herb mixture. I've seen people add the salt, pepper, garlic powder etc to the marinade, but I usually season the turkey first so i don't put the seasonings in the marinade.

I usually season it with salt and pepper(make sure you get under the skin), slide some fresh garlic and herbs and lemon wedges under the skin. Inject then fry

Is this something you bought or made yourself?

I suck at making salmon (cant seem to season it right) so I just grill it or pan sear with out seasoning.... Im a seafood lover so I can eat it w/o seasoning

This site has me so accustom to racism, that I skimmed the thread title and thought it said, "anyone "c**ning" for the holidays?"

I'm scarred for life y'all.
