What are you cooking or baking today?

I ate too much carbs for dinner & now I can't keep my eyes open.

We needed something quick so I tossed pasta with a thrown together sauce of diced canned tomatoes with Italian herbs, sauteed onions & more garlic cooking the juice down & added heavy cream cooking it until it thickened a little more. Had garlic naan bread & side salad.
 
Bread! I use my bread machine on manual to make the dough. Take the dough out, divide into 3 loaves, let rise, and bake in regular oven.
With one loaf, I worked in carmalized onions before letting it rise and bake. That one we ate right away. The other two baked loaves went in the freezer until needed for later.
 
That bread with caramelized onions sounds so good!

I made the mistake by looking at a bread cookbook called Flour Water Salt Yeast: The Fundamentals of Artisan Bread & Pizza by Ken Forkish at Menard's (a home improvement store for those who don't know it). Hubby seen it & wanted it. That book has now cost me another $250 for a Lodge enameled Dutch-oven to bake the bread in & another bread book by the same author.

I guess I can't complain to much because the bread has been pretty good.

When I had a bread machine, I used it the same way. It was great at making the dough, but I never let the machine bake it. Caramelized onions in dough sounds delicious.

When my kids were growing up, I filled and set the timer on my bread machine nearly every night. We awoke to the delightful aroma of fresh-baked bread each morning.
 
Up early/late as usual!

Hot and humid with a nice breeze.

After fighting off the food fantasies and cravings, I put together a one pot summer boiled dinner to take me through the week.

Green beans, garlic, onion, marble sized potatoes, ham, and turkey kielbasa, seasoned with plenty of hot pepper flakes.

The broth may morph into a small pot of bean soup when things cool off a bit.
