What are you cooking or baking today?

I've been lazy lately after working in the yard & getting other work done. I need to start planning again. Running out of frozen left overs & eating at the few local places we like to eat at.

@Ruthanne, the perogies sound good. I haven't had those in a while.
 
I've gotta do a handyman job for the neighbor today, but if I get done in time I may do banana bread. I also add walnuts, and coconut, and once in a while blueberries and even chocolate chips. That way I get the feeling that I'm eating something healthy with my morning cup of coffee. Ha ha.
 

I too am out of freezer food. Took eveything I needed out of the freezer to make a suasage pie. Have groceries coming later today. I bought a beef roast, may not get it done today but it will be good for the freezer. It may have to wait until tomorrow, kinda tired today.
 
My freezers are chock full most of the time. DH and I had three kids in two years, and for a year when they were in their early twenties we also had two of their significant others living with us. (One of the most fun years of my life.) I just never got out of the habit of bulk shopping and cooking despite all five moving out 10+ years ago.

Cooking for two isn't much different from cooking for seven, especially when making a time-consuming recipe. For instance, last week I made some of my plant-based Italian meatballs. The effort to assemble and mix all ingredients to convert 1/2 lb of Beyond Beef to meatballs and cook them isn't significantly less than doing three pounds. Therefore I do a full Costco sleeve (three pounds) of BB "meat" at once, including cooking, cooling and freezing in ziplocks. With my old iPod hooked up to Oontz speakers in my kitchen, I happily dance my way through cooking and baking.

Thus the full freezers.

I'm frying in the stick free pan perogies, breakfast sausage and cauliflower with a little olive oil.

Let me know when the pierogies are ready, especially if they are as good as my grandma's.
I'll let you know when I remember what I cooked for dinner today... :unsure:
 
It's Saturday market season for me! I've got 41 loaves of bread that I baked and froze earlier this week thawing out. I'm baking 4 batches of cookies that I made the dough for yesterday and then refrigerated: chocolate chip, ginger molasses, oatmeal raisin and snickerdoodle. That will result in about six 10 oz bags per cookie variety. People pay me $7.00 US per loaf and cookie bag. This is my eighth year doing this. Farmers Saturday market lasts from June through October.
 
Lunch was tomato and chicken noodle soup and my infamous chuckwagon sandwiches on whole wheat. Yummy!

Dinner was the porc chops from our super 8 pack for £8. We split it into 4 freezer bags with 2 in each. So, grilled porc chops, porc flavoured tea gravy, mashed potatoes and steamed corn. Bread slices to dip in gravy. Apple sauce to splosh onto each lovely meat bites.

No desserts, too hot to eat any more, but plenty of iced sodas.
 
I made a lovely Christmas cake one season. I used my mother's rich fruit cake recipe. The house smelled wonderful in the final 1/2 hour. Couldn't wait to taste it. On cutting into the cake the knife looked like there was still moisture in it. I suddenly remembered I forget to add the flour to the cake and it was awful. Well, another one bites the dust. I buy them ready made now.

Has anybody baked a chicken and forgot to remove the plastic bag with the gizzards in it?

Never a chicken but I did do it the first time I cooked a turkey for Thanksgiving. I checked the cavity, nothing there, turned out to be in the neck space. I was newly married and had not baked a turkey before.
