I made Salmon Patties for Sunday dinner to go with our two leftover side dishes of pasta salad for me and bulgur stir-fry for my husband.

Happy Anniversary to Mike and wife!
For dinner on Thursday, I roasted chicken thighs. I had some turkey gravy frozen in the refrigerator, and I made a side-dish with it, noodles, and sauteed mushrooms.
On Saturday, I made a pasta-vegetable salad for me using cherry tomatoes from our cherry tomato plant, which has begun to provide abundantly. I also used cucumber and green onion from the farmers market, feta cheese, black olives, and Penzeyâs Country French Vinaigrette blend with olive oil and red wine vinegar. As my husband cannot eat several of the ingredients, I made him a bulgur stir-fry with carrots, celery, mushrooms, and zucchini.
September 19, 2022 at 4:12 pm in reply to: What are you Baking the Week of September 11, 2022? #36496Those turnovers look great, Mike, and I bet they tasted wonderful.
On Saturday, I baked Wholegrain Pumpkin Snacking Cake, because we need desserts to see us through until the pump is installed on the new well next Friday.

September 15, 2022 at 12:48 pm in reply to: What are you Baking the Week of September 11, 2022? #36438I 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.
September 14, 2022 at 9:09 pm in reply to: What are you Baking the Week of September 11, 2022? #36433Chocomouse--I had some "emergency desserts" in the freezer. 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.
September 14, 2022 at 6:04 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 11, 2022? #36430That sounds so good, Joan!
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 5:12 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 11, 2022? #36403We finished off the last of the black-eyed peas with brown rice and ham.
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.
