It's one thing we talk about so often here on myLot. Food. What we eat. What we make to eat. I can't tell you how many ideas I have gotten for something to make based on something another myLotter posted about what they made for dinner, lunch, a side, or whatever else.
Take this side. It was suggested by a myLotter, although I took my own liberties in deciding how I would make it.
Rice with butter and Parmesan.
I cooked my rice like I normally would, but added some butter to the water. I then added in 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese before I closed the lid and let it "soften."
I think it will be delicious, and it was all based on something another myLotter suggested.
How many times have you made something based on a post you read, and what did you make? How did it turn out?

I hope you enjoyed and I think this is what I am going to prepare for lunch.

Nice. I'm sure you enjoyed the cheese rice. I haven't tried the food my mylotter friends posts because I need to get ingredients first before trying. Some Indian dishes I perceive are hard to make.

@porwest Perhaps I should start writing down too since there are many discussions and I forget sometimes. Glad you shared. You are very hardworking.

@mildredtabitha With so many things we talk about around here, it can be really easy to forget things. So yes, if something is mentioned food wise, TV show wise, movie wise, or otherwise, I tend to write it down.

I made (Brittish) scones inspired by myLotter close friend, CarolDM's bisquits (American).

I haven't seen anything that was suggested that I'd
like to try cause I have to be careful what I eat so I
just stick to what I KNOW I can eat just to be safe.

@2ndchances24 I only put things that taste good in my mouth. Why would I do anything else? lol

I've read and received a lot of ideas and advice about cooking on myLot. Some things I cooked turned out good, some not so much.

@porwest I don't understand how after a year I can cook most foods okay, but why are all the desserts I cook awful?
I'm planning to try a new recipe for cream cheese orange cookies soon, so we'll see.

Yes, I've been influenced by some dishes people make here. The mere mention of food will bring a mouth-watering delight and a trip to the fridge and cupboards to see if I have the ingredients to make said food.
I have all the ingredients on hand for your rice dish. I just might try it.

I am glad you have gotten ideas here from people on what to make. I only make things that are kosher so look up a recipe I want to make to see what ingredients to use only if it is kosher. Some things I have made have turned out and others have not.

One thing everyone enjoys is food. After all, we gotta eat. And finding a new recipe to add to one's weekly meal plans.
And when I taste a good recipe, I'm happier than I've ever "bean."

To me, this is an innovative way to cook rice. I got a lot of inspirations about foods in My Lot.

I get ideas from lots of places, but I cannot pinpoint just one right now. Your rice sounds yummy. I may have to try it.

It turned out to be a really good idea. I wish I could remember who mentioned it so I could thank them, but I am drawing a complete blank. It may have even been one of the old posts I visited. Just can't remember and it wasn't even that long ago. Damn aging brain. lol

Your rice sounds very good, I love Parmesan cheese, I have been inspired by some food posts but usually I just make something quick for myself,

As you know, hubby or I don't cook or hardly cook anymore. I'm tempted by a lot of food posts here though! Have a good day.

Your food looks nice, much more tasty than boring plain rice. I often get food ideas from people on myLot. The problem I find is that we all come from different parts of the world and I cannot always get the ingredients that they have used in their recipe.

Yeah, that can sometimes be an issue. Of course, here in the U.S. you can get practically anything. I like to make Spanish rice a lot. Just a real simple version of it. Boil some salsa with rice and voila. Could that be poor man's Spanish rice? lol
