Chuck Roast, 8 cups water, 1/2 of Onion, one head of Garlic, 1-2 tbsp Salt, and 4 Bay Leave. You will let this boil for one hour over medium-high heat. Scoop any fat that floats on the top.
To make the sauce — you will need the following. —–, 10-12 NM Chili Pod, Guajillo, 3 Anchos Peppers, 6-8 Chiles De Arbol (optional) and 6 Garlic Cloves. You let this toast in a skillet with 1-2 tbsp of oil for 2 -3 minutes until they start releasing their fragrance. When it’s finished cooking or toasting, transfer them to the blender along with the 6-8 Peppercorns, 5 Whole Cloves, 2 Cups of Water, you will also fish out the onions and garlic from the chuck roast. Blend until it’s smooth.
When you finish blending the sauce, use a filter and add the sauce into the beef; use a wooden spoon to help the sauce go through the filter; continue doing this until all you have left is pulp from the peppers.

Squid Game Cookie is so new to me; I just actually heard about this since I have researched the top recipes of this 2021. As I watched plenty of videos about these cookies, I found them very intriguing and fun to do. The Squid Game cookie trending on TikTok and Google is Dalgona sweets, a Korean dessert. While the setting for the dish isn’t exactly appealing, the cookie itself is delicious, according to what I read in the articles. This squid game is a pleasant cooking project that you can do with the whole family. If you like sweets, then this is something that you want to give a try.
7.) Baked oats
Baked oats are making their comeback, my husband and I tried this before, and it was delicious. The best way to make the oats taste delicious is adding cinnamon to your oats and even brown sugar—this year, since we are all coped in the house and limited to be somewhere. Baked oats have been so trending, and plenty of people search about them on google. Baked oat is a make-ahead recipe good for your heart; it’s very healthy to eat for breakfast and easy to prepare. I saw on Tiktok a fluffy mug cake, but it looked delicious.
