We finished the Turkey, Mushroom, and Spinach Lasagna for dinner tonight. We needed a fast preparation, since we had a hike, a birthday zoom with the kids, and then I had a zoom meeting. My husband is fond of the lasagna, so he did not mind leftovers. He was also focused on the chocolate cake we had for dessert.
Thanks, Joan. My husband chuckled when I read your comment to him.
I made a chocolate glaze which I used for the filling and the topping on Scott's birthday cake. With the filling, I should have used the trick from the original cake recipe and used wooden skewers to hold the layers in place until the glaze solidified. Next time, I will make half a glaze recipe and then stabilize the cake with the skewers before making the other half and coating the cake. The glaze flavor needs a little something, perhaps some espresso powder to intensify the chocolate, or possibly a bit of salt. It also seems to me that Domino powdered sugar has an off taste that I do not recall from using C&H, but I cannot get C&H powdered sugar in my area.
I made Cornmeal Pumpernickel Waffles for breakfast on Sunday in honor of my husband's birthday today. It is his favorite breakfast. (It is also the favorite of our dog.)
It's great to hear how you are mastering the art of the stand mixer, Joan.
On Saturday, I baked my tweaked version of King Arthur's "Favorite Fudge Birthday Cake." My husband's birthday is tomorrow, and this cake is his favorite. I will not be using the recipe's lovely ganache but will substitute a chocolate glaze recipe that I used last year, and he liked.
I made Turkey, Mushroom, and Spinach Lasagna for dinner on Friday. Although it takes about an hour to assemble, it makes enough for three meals, with an easy re-heat in the microwave for the next two.
I made dough for my Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers on Thursday. I will bake them next week.
I made yogurt on Thursday.
For dinner, I had a leftover pork on a bun, along with some small carrots. My husband finished the Butternut and Turkey stew.
We also had warm weather in the low 70s on Wednesday. For dinner, we had more of the Turkey, Butternut Squash, Farro, and Kale stew.
That sounds good, Joan. I looked, and your recipe is indeed in the recipe section!
We had more of the leftover Turkey, Butternut Squash, Farro, and Kale stew for dinner.
We had leftover pan-cooked pork loin slices as sandwiches using the Len's buns I baked. We also had microwaved fresh broccoli.
I baked Len's buns on Tuesday, so that we could use them for sandwiches at dinner. The rye/semolina/whole wheat works well with the leftover pan-cooked pork loin slices.
We once got one from Walmart that was slightly underdone but nothing like Len's experience. We put it in the oven and cooked it some more.
We had more of the Turkey, Butternut Squash, Farro and Kale Stew that I made on Friday.
I had a slow start on Sunday morning. I hate having Daylight Savings Time arrive so early in the year and stay so late. Before a late lunch, I made Maple Granola, which bakes for two hours, with a stir and a pan turn halfway through the baking time.
In the afternoon, I baked a Blood Orange Yogurt Loaf using two of the blood oranges I have been able to find at Kroger this spring. I used a Nordic Ware loaf pan with swirls. The cake will rest overnight, then I will glaze it for dessert tomorrow evening and into the week.
I did one more bake in the evening of Blueberry (oil-based) Scones with Lemon Zest. We will start having them for breakfast tomorrow.
I made clam chowder for lunch on Saturday and have enough for two more days. I left the skin on the Russet potato this time, and the chowder is great, so I will do that again.
My husband pan-cooked boneless pork chops, for dinner, which we had with the rest of the black-eyed peas with rice and ham, and some leftover roasted sweet potatoes. I also had a mandarin orange.
