What are you cooking or baking today?

I haven't either. Will be interested to read @Knight's review.

We've had this a few times & modified the recipe to our liking.

Used pepper jack cheese instead of red pepper flakes & parmesan. Get the same heat contrast but like the better gooey texture. Got the pepper jack slices at Albertsons when on sale for $1.47 only use about 4 ounces.

Pasta a little more than usual meal amount, break in half just seems to cook better. Just barely cover the ingredients because less water helps to thicken the sauce. 1st. time we tried this the amount of water used made the sauce to liquidly.

Pasta sauce we like is Paul Neuman's marinara sauce.

Have fresh basil but prefer Albertsons spring mix added last. Cover the corning ware we cook it in to wilt that mix. Use a lot of the spring mix because it wilts down to seem almost not there.

Was reading some recipes in a cookbook that I've had for a long time & seen one for salmon patties using canned salmon. Neither of us like fish at all so I substituted canned chicken instead.

It didn't come out bad, but I need to work on the seasonings to liven it up a little. Now I have another way of using canned chicken besides dips & chicken salad. Also had roasted cauliflower with a side salad. Key Lime frozen yogurt for dessert.

Today we made beef stew with tea biscuits
We made the beef stew in our Dutch oven


It was really good.

This is the one I get. You may not be able to find it where you're at, but I bet someone makes one like it in your area.

Going through my recipe files for something using ground beef, I found a Betty Crocker recipe with a cornmeal topping. It looked pretty; it was dry and boring. I kept thinking it needed a leavening agent. That recipe is now history. We only ate half so I’ll have to doctor it up. Waste not, want not.

I didn’t make it; I bought it. An Almondy Cake made in Sweden. Not too sweet and delicate flavours. You can sell me almost anything almond. It was $7 instead of $10. You can also sell me anything on sale.

Like you, I love almonds, almond flavoring and marzipan.

Hubby started a beef brisket on the smoker this morning & it's resting to come up to temp now. I made macaroni salad that in the fridge so the flavor can blend. Now I need to put the baked beans in the oven so they can get done for dinner.

A breakfast in the microwave.

Today I am making spaghetti with meat sauce and a salad. DS is bringing garlic bread from...Kwik Trip which is a gas station but also sells lots of other things! Good donuts.

I've just made brownies. From a mix, but I did add some milk chocolate chips.

Tonight, the Spousal Equivalent made crab cakes. For some reason, he bought almost $35 worth of crab to make them.

They were very good. The last few times I've bought crab cakes, they were mostly "filler" with a bit of crab. These were mostly crab with a bit of filler.

He made ten of them and we only ate four, so there are plenty for tomorrow.

I had ground turkey enchiladas…..

Planning to assemble a large pot of French vegetable soup. Some for eating over the next few days, some for freezing.

I’m making chicken lasagna using zucchini slices for the noodles, going to add some spinach too.

Cheat day since we had appointments. We ate at Steak-n-Shake & finally got to try their fries made in beef tallow ... OMG they were so good. They also have cane sugar Coke in a bottle. Burger was excellent too. The next time I want to get a shake since I was too full after I ate today.

So the French vegetable soup is delish, as always. However, I also had a small container of navy bean soup defrosting in the garage fridge. Spooned a little of that into some of the soup and oh my - talk about kicking it up a notch!

Bummer was that there wasn't much NB soup left, and I was out of dried navy beans for making more.

Picked up some dried beans yesterday afternoon and soaked them overnight. Today I'll make a big batch of my (vegan) version of Senate Bean Soup.

Hubby had boiled quite a few eggs a few days ago. Since he hadn't eaten any he asked for me to make some egg salad. I hadn't made it for a while & it tasted pretty good for a late lunch.

He found a way to boil eggs that allows the shells to come off easy. You boil your water first & then lower the eggs gently into the water. Boil for about 10 minutes & then put them in cold water to stop cooking. I thought they would crack being put in the hot water, but they haven't. I have been pleasantly surprised that this has worked each time we've cooked them like this.

Bacon wrapped meatloaf with asparagus that we need to eat up for dinner. Getting ready to make chocolate chip cookies with pecans before I put the loaf in the oven.

EDIT: I found dried cherries in the cupboard & made Cherry-Vanilla Oatmeal cookies instead.

Roast Beef with carrots , celery, green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy and cooked in our Dutch oven.

It was really good. We hadn’t had roast beef in over 5 years.
