I made 2 loaves of semolina rye bread today. I ran out of both semolina and pumpernickel so had to make a quick run to the KAF store! I ran into my sister buying scone mix and pancake mix!
Today I made maple cornbread, using both maple sugar and maple syrup. I don't have a recipe for this, I just put in a scoop or two of sugar and a pour of the syrup, so it comes out different each time. This time it was little crumbly, but tasty.
Our dinner was baked sausage links and apple slices with brown sugar and cinnamon, cole slaw and maple cornbread.
We've not had a frost yet, so we're still picking green beans and lettuces and raspberries. However, it looks like that will end after Tuesday night's low. The garden is cleaned up, just waiting now for the leaves and grass from the last mow of the season to spread over it. All the pots on the deck are inside, and the planters cleaned up except for one of lettuces and one of beans. I will trim the pots of herbs and then transplant or root some of them, although I will plant seeds of some. I am really looking forward to next summer's garden!
Today I made a double batch of Duchess soup with ham and potatoes, to take on an extended trip. It filled 2 quart mason jars and will serve 4 of us for 2 meals, with onion-wild rice rolls that I made last week. I also had about a pint leftover, now in the refrigerator.
Diner was meatloaf, baked potato, and fresh green beans from the deck for my husband, so he will have meatloaf sandwiches while I am gone. I had tilapia with leftover roasted veggies and green beans.
BakerAunt, I'm always annoyed with KAF! You probably haven't noticed, but unless you are ordering online (and having the goods shipped to you) that the sales don't apply. Since I live just 10 miles from the store, it would be ridiculous and wasteful, for me and the environment, to have something shipped to me instead of picking it up when I go by the store. And any "savings" would be spent on shipping.
Our dinner tonight was kielbasa with pan-fried potatoes, butternut squash, and onions.
Mike, I'm hankering for stuffed spaghetti squash since reading your post last week. When I return from NY next week, I'll pull all my edibles, and put the garden to bed. It's been a good year, for the last month of summer, for peppers. I harvested about 3 dozen, about half green and half red, all New Ace. Tomatoes were a bust; we did not always have a ripe tomato for BLTs etc when I wanted them, and I processed only about 6-9 quarts of sauce for the winter, plus a few jars of salsa and pizza sauce. Chippy ate all but a few cherry tomatoes. No yellow summer squash, not one. Plenty of zucchini. Six nice cauliflowers, plenty of broccoli early on, only 3 cabbage out of 6 plants. Quite a few winter squash, especially spaghetti, plus buttercup, butternut, delicata. Currently, I have plenty of herbs and greens still growing on the deck. And my last planting of green and yellow beans is producing nicely, although slowly due to day temps in the upper 50s and night temp in the upper 30s. Our average frost day is the 15th, today! I do have a planter of young lettuces growing in my sunroom, so I'll need to set up the grow lights, tranplant some herbs and start others, and figure out what else I want to try for this winter. I'm looking forward to starting over again next June.
We had tilapia with roasted brussels sprouts, summer squash, zucchini, sweet red pepper, and onions. The veggies had a light drizzle of olive oil, maple syrup, and sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Our dinner tonight was bulgogi and broccoli on rice, with fresh green beans from the planter on the deck.
I made 2 loaves of BakerAunt's recipe for Mostly Whole Wheat Maple Butternut bread. And we sliced into a cooled loaf for egg salad sandwiches for dinner.
Interesting article. I love parsnips. I no longer grow them in my garden, but when I did we left them all winter, covered with some mulch. We could pull back the mulch and dig up a few for dinner all winter long. We did have to dig all of them by mid-spring or the rain on the thawed ground would rot them. I usually roast them with winter squash, carrots, white and sweet potatoes, onion - all drizzled with a little oil and maple syrup.
Leftovers for me -- chicken thigh, bean salad, and a serving of the cavitappi-veggie salad I made for my husband to take to a potluck.
I baked 2 dozen onion-wild rice rolls from Peter Reinhart's recipe.
Dinner tonight was roasted chicken thighs, squash, and wild rice.
