Chicken

Chicken.

I like chicken.  It's low fat, inexpensive, and very tasty.  It's a universal food, I guess, ever present in Mexican cooking, Chinese food, and you get what I am saying.  Where you pretty much never find chicken is in vegetarian/vegan food.  And this is why:

YUSS!  For funsies, you can sift through 40 different ways to make chicken.  Some look as amazing as they sound.  Some look horrific.  Sadly, the cover photo is just not appetizing hiding behind those tantalizing words.

You can make it too!

So this one came across my Pinterest feed so many times I just HAD to snag it.  It just a giant pile of chicken breasts.  Plop, plop, plop.

You can make it too!

Yes, they tell me this is chicken.  I was convinced it was a vegan dish, some sort of pumpkin or acorn squash.  But nope, that funky chunk is chicken.

You can make it too!

And just to prove that I truly cannot photograph anything better than the average blogger, here are some of my chickens.  Don't they look yummy?

Ground Beef

Ground Beef. 

Ground beef.  Some say, it contains pink slime. By the looks of these recipes, I would not be surprised.




When pinning a recipe to Pinterest, I find it's best to pick the photo that makes the food look it's best.  Not everyone agrees.  Instead, they pin a slab of raw ground beef.  Looks like zombie food to me.

Now this, this, looks like a Weight Watchers recipe card from the '70's.  Deeee-lish.

Oh no!  Some body barfed on my lettuce!

You can make it too!

But, my oh my, the collection of meatloaf recipes I have pinned.  Just.  You.  Wait.

Eh tu, Bacon?

Bacon.

Bacon could be the world's most perfect food. It's salty and melts in your mouth. It's appropriate for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  You can wrap it around just about anything for a perfectly basted bit of awesomeness.

I (heart) bacon.  Unless it looks like this...

You can make it too!

Seems tasty until you can't photograph it well.

You can make it too!

Despite looking like a pile of internal organs, I'd make this.
