Not much cooking here, since I got back from a week in Maine last night and am exhausted. On the way home, we stopped at Trader Joe's and I bought dinner for tonight: a cruciferous chopped salad with sesame ginger dressing, and chicken sausages. So I just had to heat up the sausages, which were very mild, not a lot of flavor, but the salad was excellent.
Dinner was meatloaf, whole kernel corn, and broccoli.
Today I made date-oatmeal cookies.
Dinner tonight was salmon on the grill, baked potatoes, and roasted mixed veggies.
I made 2 loaves of Walter Sands white bread, although I subbed in 2 cups of whole wheat for 2 cups of AP, and added flax meal.
Tuna sandwiches!
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.
