BakerAunt, I hope that was a fun trip for you and that you had a nice break from your usual days in the kitchen!
I made a big pot of corn chowder today, so we have some leftovers for the freezer.
Dinner was ham steak, potato salad, and asparagus from the freezer. Only 2 months more before I see 2022 spears coming up in the garden!
We had Philly cheesesteaks.
An idea on a different track: Your son Will is very interested (and gaining skills!) in cooking/baking. Consider using some of the gift card money to buy something for him - for birthday, Christmas, whatever. I don't know what is available on Breadtopia, but you might find something perfect for him.
Tomato soup from the freezer and cranberry-orange muffin! My husband had a meatloaf sandwich and chips.
Today I prepared a one-pot casserole, with sliced Kielbase, yellow peppers, diced onion, minced garlic, shredded zucchini from last summer, rice, shredded cheddar and mozzarella. It was excellent, but it is pretty heavy, not the healthiest meal.
Today I made Maple-Coconut cookies. Soft and chewy!
Burgers on the grill, and fries. The snow held off until just as my husband was bringing the burgers inside! I think we are not supposed to get much, but the temp should drop from 40s to 20 or below. Good for sugaring!
I made meatloaf, squash, mashed potatoes, and mushroom gravy for our dinner tonight.
Today I made two loaves of rye bread. I also baked a muffin mix in a box, by Krusteaz, which was a Christmas gift from a granddaughter. Cranberry-Orange. They are delicious, and I was surprised. I have another one in the pantry, blueberry.
Happy Birthday, CWCDesign! Go ahead, eat the whole cake!
Tuna fish sandwiches on whole grain bread last night.
I made 6 hamburger buns and 8 hot dog buns today.
We had Korean chicken (bulgogi) and salad; and my husband also cleaned out some leftovers.
I'm not real fond of rhubarb either, Mike. But my husband likes it, and I have a big patch of it near my garden, so I might as well use it. A primary reason for not using it more is the amount of sugar needed to make it edible. It might be good used in a quick bread, like zucchini bread?
