Slow Cooked Pig Cheek

I was encouraged by my first experiment with pig cheeks, and decided to try something else with them. This time I tried slow cooking the cheeks in the oven, going for a chopped meat feel.

Korean Bachelor Cooking

My former roommate was Korean, and he would often cook for himself. He was a single grad student, and he wasn't cooking "just like his mom," just something fast and easy. The cuisine was more the equivalent of mac and cheese with hot dogs, but at least healthier. This dish is what he cooked one night, and he often made a similar one-pot meal.

Stuffed Eggplant

I try to eat a balanced diet without too much meat, and using ground meat as a stuffing in a vegetable is a good way to make a savory, filling, and healthy dish. Winter squash and pumpkins are good vegetables to use in colder months, and eggplant is a good vegetable year-round. This is eggplant stuffed with a mix of ground beef and lamb.
