Dinner tonight was chicken, squash from the freezer, and roasted mixed veggies: carrots, potatoes, and cauliflower, drizzled with mango balsamic.
I made a dozen bagels today.
cwdesign, that sounds like a wonderful project!! I think you're doing it the right way, too -- just move out, hopefully it will be for the length of time you've planned! A view of the lagoon -- Wow!
Thursday dinner was egg salad on rye bread. Eggs are cheaper now -- $4.89 a dozen for large.
I'd love to have a foot of snow dumped on my deck! All we have is brown grass. And it's been so warm (50s during the day) this week that it is now mud season here.
Today I made heart-shaped chocolate Linzer cookies with F.R.O.G. jam. That is an Amish jam made of figs, raspberries, orange peel and ginger. These were my belated valentine gift to my husband.
We had shrimp alfredo with broccoli.
I made 6 hot dog buns and 6 hamburger buns using our standard Moomie's bun recipe.
Monday night dinner was Beddar then Cheddar dogs with sauteed red pepper and onions on fresh hot dog buns.
I made 2 batches of really good maple cornbread today. I baked them in the Lodge cast iron pan they call a mini-cake pan. The outside comes out crisp, but the inside stays soft and tender. The flavor, using both maple sugar and maple syrup is wonderful (of course, being a Northerner, cornbread is always sweetened! unless you add fresh corn kernels.) We ate cornbread with our beef stew, but most of it will go with the chili to the ice fishing derby tomorrow. Yes, the smart folks will not go out on the ice, which is not thick enough yet this winter to hold the weight of a truck, snowmobile, fishing shanty, or maybe even a person. There were 3 deaths in the last 2 days of people who ventured out on the ice of Lake Champlain.
I made chili for my husband to share with his buddies while ice fishing tomorrow. But we ate leftover beef stew for our dinner.
Mike, I used the key lime juice in a bottle from KAF, a birthday gift. The pie doesn't look great, kind of mottled, but my husband said the flavor and texture are excellent. His only complaint is "it is too thin." The KAF recipe calls for only 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, whereas most of the recipes I looked at call for 2 cans.
I made a Key lime pie (my husband's request) and blueberry lemon muffins.
Our Friday dinner was chicken thighs, steamed fresh green beans, and cauliflower salad.
I made venison stew for my husband to take to a pot-luck. I had a chicken breast and cauliflower salad.
Mike, that's how my peas behaved back when I grew them in my big garden. They'd keep producing, as long as I kept picking, but only up to a certain point. Then, they just turned brown and died; reached their life expectancy, I guess.
I've not tried growing spinach in the Aerogarden, but it doesn't do as well under the gro lights or in planters on the deck as lettuce does. I think it is not a 'cut and come again' type of growth.
