Mexican Chicken Salad on Zucchini

Monday, July 27, 2026, 11:35 AM

Meredith (and Isaac) made Mexican Chicken Salad (not sure where the recipe was from) and a zucchini and cheese "bread" thing.

I poached chicken breast in water heavily salted with table salt and Lawrys salt. I shredded it in the mixer.

The zucchini and cheese "bread" thing are thin slices of zucchini with crisped cheese to hold it together.

Vietnamese Grilled Chicken

I would NOT MAKE THIS AGAIN. I made a brine of:

• 2 Tbsp Soy
• 2 Tbsp Fish
• 1 Tbsp brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Pepper
• 1 Tsp Corn starch
• 2 tsp Ginger (cube)
• 2 tsp Garlic (cube)
• 1 Tbsp Oil

and let trimmed thighs sit overnight. It wasn't horrible but nothing like what I've had at restaurants. It was based off a few sources. Next time, I will look in a cookbook!

BBQ Sauce Grilled Chicken

I trimmed, salted, then dry-brinded chicken thighs. After about a day, I grilled them, painting on the Baby Rays (no sugar added) BBQ sauce towards the end. Pretty good!

Another High-Protein Breakfast Egg Bite Bake based on the in-development High-Protein Breakfast Egg Bite Bake. I have actually made this many more times with different veggies. I will make it its own recipe soon.

Plain and Curry/Indian Beef Jerky

Thursday, June 25, 2026, 08:48 PM

These recipes were made with the help of ChatGPT and lots of iteration. I then packaged them in approx 1 oz small vacuum seal bags. I will store these in the freezer and let them thaw for snacks. It made about 12 oz from 32 oz beef but that does not account for what I ate in the process.

I let these marinate overnight which was probably more than needed for ground beef.

Plain

• 1 lb (454 g) 93% lean ground beef
• 1 tbsp ice water
• ¾ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or ½ tsp Morton kosher salt)
• 1 tsp coarse black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• ¼ tsp MSG (optional)

Curry / Indian

• 1 lb (454 g) 93% lean ground beef
• 1 tbsp ice water
• ¾ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or ½ tsp Morton kosher salt)
• 1/4 tsp MSG (optional)
• 2 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
• 1 tsp mild curry powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp turmeric
• ½ tsp sugar

Chicken Thigh Skewers

Monday, June 22, 2026, 07:39 PM

I lightly salted well trimmed chicken thighs then skewered them with an onion in between. I added Montreal Steak Seasoning and let them sit in the fridge for 24 hours. I Grilled them, originally on racks to hold it up but eventually just on the grates.

They were very good! Lots of flavor. I will have this for lunch the next four days!
