I am about to bake three loaves of my Whole Wheat Oat Bran Bread. We are out of bread, so it's a necessity.
The drilling company is here for the well. We are waiting for the cable company to remove the internet cable so that the drill can get into position. After being told by the drilling company to have it done by 8 a.m., the cable company then said 1 p.m. The trouble is that they are on CST (we and the drilling company are on eastern time), and although they were told EST 1 p.m., the message did not get conveyed. I'm posting before I bake because we will likely have no internet for a few days, depending on when they get the cable back.
After the drilling, it will be a WEEK before the work can be done to get things going, so we have another week of being careful with water.

We finished off a Chocolate Zucchini mini-Bundt cake tonight, and I have one more mini-loaf of zucchini bread. But I so much want to be baking!
That is good to know that subbing Greek yogurt for cream cheese can work in a frosting.

Maryjane--Your Hawaiian sweet bread sounds yummy.

Our Wednesday night dinner was the rest of the turkey-zucchini meatloaf. I cooked some bulgur with Penzey's chicken base to go with it, and we also had microwaved frozen peas and carrots.
The company comes to drill our new well tomorrow afternoon. The hooking up will take place on Friday.

The reviews were all about laminated dough, but I am really curious about how well it would work for cracker dough and pasta dough.
September 12, 2022 at 9:33 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 11, 2022? #36409I made turkey-zucchini meatloaf with peach-Dijon glaze for dinner on Monday. I also roasted some potato chunks tossed in olive oil and Penzeys Sunny Paris. We microwaved fresh broccoli (from the farmers market).

September 11, 2022 at 12:16 pm in reply to: What are you Baking the Week of September 11, 2022? #36398We are having a lovely, cool, rainy day. It would be ideal for baking, but we are still conserving water, so I need to keep the dishes at a minimum. The well company is coming Thursday afternoon to drill the new well. As soon as we are set, a LOT of baking is going to happen.
September 8, 2022 at 6:35 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 4, 2022? #36375I made stir-fry on Wednesday night using the leftover pork, the drippings, green onion, carrots, celery, red bell pepper (from garden), mushrooms, broccoli (farmers' market). I used some soba noodles that I bought when we went to Colorado Springs last April. (When I'm in another town, I like to check out what their supermarket carries.) These soba noodles are Hakubaku, organic, and made in Australia. They are the best I have found in taste in not clumping. I have enough for another two times of making stir-fry. I will have to see if they are available online or at any other grocery we might visit on trips
Our enclosed porch does not allow in the correct light frequency for plants, nor does it allow in heat--a bitter disappointment to my husband. (We do have a heating vent out there.) The first time we overwintered a bell pepper plant, I was sure it was dead, with its over wintered 2 small green peppers. It was amazing when my husband planted it in the garden again, and the little peppers grew and turned red, and it produced lots of red bell peppers.
My husband has only had success with red bell peppers if he starts plants in pots the previous spring, overwinters them on the enclosed porch, which is cool. They look like they have died back, but he keeps them watered, then when it is warm enough the NEXT spring, he plants them out. We like our bell peppers red, so we start getting some about mid-summer.
Aaron--have you tried the boiled cider that King Arthur sells? It is concentrated, so you would not use as much as fresh cider. It's my go-to for recipes that call for cider, since my husband cannot drink cider, and I cannot finish off a whole container by myself.
I baked my Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers on Tuesday from dough that I had in the refrigerator.
Aaron--I buy the malted wheat flakes from King Arthur, which has some recipes that use them. I need to order some more. My husband and I like the flavor. They can be used in oat bread recipes in place of oats.
For some reason, I am thinking that they are a British item, but I could be wrong.
When I freeze tomatoes, I cook them with a bit of olive oil and some minced garlic. If I plan to use it as sauce, I do not cook it until it is moderately thick. If I plan to use it for pizza sauce, I cook as much water out of it as I can. I have to forgo the onion in deference to my husband. As for the red bell peppers, I have plenty of uses for that crop without freezing, or perhaps I should say, we cannot fit enough pepper plants into the garden!
September 6, 2022 at 8:24 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 4, 2022? #36330Dinner on Tuesday was the Crispy Oven Baked Fish and Chips. We also had microwaved fresh broccoli from the farmers' market.
