That dessert sounds so good Mike.
I had a steak and Caesar salad tonight. Our first day of cold here we had a low of 36*-F this morning and high of 61*F- this afternoon.
November 1, 2023 at 6:06 pm #40875I roasted chicken thighs for Wednesday's dinner, which we had with leftover roasted potatoes and carrots and microwaved peas. We will have leftover chicken for another two meals with different side dishes.
November 1, 2023 at 6:19 pm #40877We had liver with sauteed onions, roasted squash, and a green salad.
November 1, 2023 at 9:46 pm #40879That dessert sounds really good, Mike.
Today I made pork chops, a roasted potato, peas and carrots and a baked apple stuffed with raisins and pecans.
November 1, 2023 at 10:44 pm #40880I found a recipe for caramel bourbon sauce, it's pretty much what I expected: sugar, water, cream and a small amount of bourbon.
So what I need to make is a batch of puff pastry.
November 2, 2023 at 5:25 am #40881Double the batch and pour it over ice cream!
November 2, 2023 at 3:45 pm #40882Mike--I was looking at apple butter recipes, and I may try the one you made, although I will need to halve it, as I only have a 3 1/2-quart crock pot. In reading various recipes, I think that the headspace for canning apple butter should be 1/4-inch rather than 1/2 inch. While someone in the comments on the recipe says 1/2 inch, other recipes, and the Ball canning recipe, say 1/4 inch, which would be the same headspace as jam.
November 2, 2023 at 6:37 pm #40883Pizza for dinner.
November 2, 2023 at 6:46 pm #40885I was not sure that I was going to cook on Thursday, since I got this year's Covid shot yesterday, which has sapped my energy today. However, I was able to pull myself together and make the planned soup with ground turkey, a variety of vegetables (carrots, celery, red and yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, a mixture of red and brown lentils and yellow and green split peas with some barley, my turkey/chicken broth from the freezer, and kale. I have discovered that the kale is tastier if I first sauté it in olive oil near the end of the soup's cooking time, then add it. We have plenty left over for at least two or three more meals.
November 2, 2023 at 6:57 pm #40886We had left over pot roast for supper tonight, still tasty.
November 2, 2023 at 7:29 pm #40887I had a slaw dog with chips and Greek yogurt.
November 2, 2023 at 9:30 pm #40888I made stuffed peppers tonight, for dinner I had a pepper, rice and brussels sprouts.
November 3, 2023 at 11:32 am #40889I finally made Salmon. Baked it on sheet pan with roasted potatoes and asparagus. The recipe was from Creme De La Crumb. It was healthy and delicious.!
November 3, 2023 at 5:39 pm #40892Repeat of hotdog and chips.
I baked two more pie pumpkins and have the puree ready for pies.I need to make more pie crusts.I've never made a galette, thinking of making one with apples.
November 3, 2023 at 9:48 pm #40895We had leftover soup for dinner on Friday. We went to a nature preserve dedication and hike this afternoon, so it was good to come home to a dinner that just needed to be microwaved.
