Let's all post some recipes and photos of food we're making.

This was my base recipe from when I used to make donuts professionally with my bakery. I used a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg to be able to cut down on the total sugar by about half and still retain the sweetness.

I attached a photo of one of my old, earlier batches.

Beef pot roast

Marinaded the roast in red wine, olive oil, coriander, rosemary, sage, salt, pepper.

Cooked in a dutch oven in beef stock for three hours (at 420 degrees) with rutabaga, onion, garlic, carrots, and turnips.

I don't measure with anything but my hand.

Okay, but that looks positively delicious. And done in cast iron LIKE IT SHOULD BE! I bet that tastes positively delectable. <3

I imagine that would be something great to have after a long day at work, especially if you do the prep beforehand and keep it in the fridge to be cooked afterwards.

it took me less than an hour to prep and cook.  And now I have lunch for the next two days as well.

That's really smart. I might have to try to do that soon; I love stuff I can reheat for the next day or two. I do it sometimes with stews to be honest.
