What are you cooking or baking today?

I plan to eat light this week and next...

One of the downsides to a cruise is that no matter how good the intentions, everyone pretty much eats your way through the day, every day because food is freaking everywhere. 7 days, 2-1/2 lbs. Not too terrible, but I'm working on getting rid of them before the holidays hit or they'll not only set up a permanent home, they'll invite their friends. Don't ask me how I know.

Would love to hear what everyone's up to in their kitchens. We already have threads where people post recipes, photos, or links to foods that look good but they themselves haven't tried, so let's try to avoid that here.

Cooking and baking tips are most welcome, too!

Yesterday I made the mushroom barley soup I found about 8 years ago on Tori Avey's site and and have made ever since. I quadruple the carrots & celery but otherwise make it according to her recipe. It's below if you want to try it. Lots of steps, but worth the effort.
Mushroom Barley Soup

Makes a big pot of hearty soup and leftovers freeze well.

After reading what recipes some of our talented cooking members are creating, I need to hire a vegan chef!

What's in your Mississippi Pot Roast
Click to expand...
I seared a chuck roast, put it in the crock pot, sprinkled Hidden Valley Ranch dressing on top, sprinkled a packet of McCormick Au Jus on top of it, and put a stick of butter on top of it. You don't add water, and it supposed to cook on low for 8 hours. It says to add 5 pepperoncini peppers, but I didn't because I don't care for peppers. It smells good. I hope it tastes good tomorrow. I've never done this recipe. I got it off of the internet.
