Help Me Decide What to Cook - Michael - Oct 13, 2026
I think for today I'd make a pasta with bacon and cheese.
What's your recommendation?

Just googled this, this looks delicious.
Although it seems like a lot of work.

That's not cooking ðŸ˜
Few ideas :
- BÅ“uf bourguignon (with bourguignon red wine, but it needs few hours to cook)
- Chicken / curry / coconut milk (with some pepper, coriander)
- Mushroom soup (button, creminis, oyster mushroom, onion, garlic, olive oil, heavy cream, ...)
- Chili con carne (ground beef, garlic, red pepper, green pepper, kidney beans, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, chili powder, ...)
When I cook I usually make if for few days, as it takes a lot of time, and it's definitely worth the time

A true bon vivant.
Although that sounds delicious, it also all sounds like a lot of work haha.

That sounds like a solid dinner plan.
I would add some chili flakes if you enjoy a little heat.

Here this one is fast and easy. My late husband used to love when I made this.
Low‑Fat Bacon–Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients (1–2 servings)
1–2 rashers bacon, dry‑fried
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
¼–⅓ cup light evaporated milk
1–2 tsp soy sauce
Splash of pasta water
White pepper
Optional: garlic, spring onion, tiny bit of sesame oil
Dry‑fry bacon until most fat is gone. Remove and chop.
In the same pan, add mushrooms; let them release moisture.
Add garlic if you want it.
Pour in evaporated milk and soy sauce.
Add a splash of pasta water to loosen it into a proper sauce.
Return bacon.
Season with "white pepper".
Toss through pasta.
Fast and yummy I'm about to make this with chicken bacon.
