Cookin' With Squirrl

Cookin' With Squirrl Squirrl here! I develop recipes for friends and family. I share them on YouTube

I create recipes and share them via YouTube primarily but you'll get reels and photos of finished dishes here on FB. I am mostly a self-taught cook having learned quite a lot from YouTube videos and masterclass.com My recipes will run the gamut from some really fancy stuff like my Steak Maggie recipe all the way to a 3 ingredient drunk snack (Scallion Pancake Breakfast Quesadilla). I won't post a video unless the dish is good so give some of my recipes a shot.

Cheesy shrimp and grits. Creamy cheesy grits made with goat gouda and pecorino romano and a touch of lemon juice for balance. Bacon fat sautéed onions and asparagus, uncooked asparagus tips, bacon crumbles, and sliced scallions for freshness. Shrimp seared quick and hot for some lovely color and perfect doneness.

I love feeding my people! I hope and enjoyed the food as much as I loved making it for them.

Sticky toffee pudding with Tillamook Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and toasted walnuts.

I have heard of the glory that is sticky toffee pudding for a long long time. I am happy I finally made it but now I know what I've been missing all this time.

If you find it on a menu, try it, and if you don't, make it. It's not hard to make and oh my is it absolutely fantastic.

My nephew .mcclintock wanted steak and asked if I'd cook if he bought and the answer there is always YES!

NY strip steak sous vide to 130 then patted dry and seared. Pan sauce made with homemade chicken stock, rosemary, and some malbec red wine which was also paired with the steak. Oven roasted broccoli with a garlic and herb blend. Par boiled, then pan seared new potatoes with garlic salt and smoked paprika.

Delicious. Thank you for the steaks, Carter!

Sometimes gets woken up to, "hey you hungry?", and he gets delivered this.

Lamb tenderloin medium rare, sunnyside side up eggs, and all topped with chimichurri.

After searing the tenderloins I deglazed the pan and added neutral oil and butter and fried the eggs in that allowing them to absorb all that maillard goodness.
