Our dinner tonight was grilled pork chops, the last of the risotto with broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. I halved the sprouts, drizzled them with a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of maple syrup, and topped them with 3 slices of chopped up raw bacon. Roasted at 400* for 21 minutes. My husband loves them - and doesn't eat Brussels sprouts!! Who wouldn't love these -- maple and bacon!!
I made coconut-cranberry refrigerator cookies, slice and bake. This is my start to Christmas cookie baking.
We had pasta and sauce with sausage, peppers, onions. And rye-semolina rolls.
I made turkey soup from the Thanksgiving turkey carcass. I added a frozen veggie mix and egg noodles. It has snowed off and on all day, with winds gusting into the 30 mph range, so this was a perfect meal for us.
I made rhubarb muffins with chopped rhubarb from the garden that I froze early last summer.
We had roasted chicken thighs with Greek seasoning, risotto with broccoli, and butternut squash.
Dinner was omelets with ham, cheese, veggies, and English muffins.
I made burger buns this morning.
I made a fish casserole for dinner tonight - crab meat, "chowder fish" on sale at the local market, and a can of cream of shrimp soup, topped with crumbled saltines. Simple but tasty, and quick to prepare.
I made two loaves of buttermilk oatmeal wheat bread this morning.
Dinner was a repeat of Thanksgiving dinner, warmed up leftovers. Just as tasty as the first time around.
Yesterday I made two 7" cheesecakes. One regular cheesecake recipe (32 oz cream cheese, 4 eggs, etc) fits perfectly into them. I made one with a filling that was flavored with raspberry liqueur, a chocolate graham cracker crust, a layer of filling, a layer of individually frozen raspberries, a drizzle of chocolate ganache, another layer of filling, and topped with ganache. The other one I flavored with lemon and lime juice. One of these will go into the freezer for a future treat.
I had a green salad, and my husband had baked beans and hot dogs for dinner. I told him he had to finish up the apple pie I made the other day because I need the pie plate for the pecan pie I'm going to make tomorrow. He didn't buy that, he knows I have plenty of pie plates.
Joan, that's so good of you to cook him something that will entice him to eat. It sounds like he'll want to eat some Thanksgiving dinner too.
That sounds so good, BakerAunt.
