We belong to a wine club whereby everyone brings a dish. A friend sent me an orzo, feta and shrimp salad recipe which was very well received. I think the dill and maple syrup in the dressing (instead of honey) clinched it!
I had miso and tahini for who knows what recipe! So I found a chicken thigh recipe which uses both. The original recipe was from NYT which I somehow got to open up. The comments were very useful for my using boneless skinless thighs. The dinner was very tasty and I will repeat it as I still have....miso and tahini left,
I received a pampered chef trifle bowl a few years ago and I finally got to use it. My neighbor requested a strawberry trifle and I found the perfect recipe on Amanda's blog. I made the angel food cake (a mix) and used some of the frozen strawberries I had as well as fresh and substituted mascarpone cheese for the cream cheese and used real whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. It was a success. I'm glad I didn't donate the trifle bowl.
I'm exhausted just reading about your plantings! Wished I was your neighbor. I live in a 55+ community and I can only grow things in pots and there are rules for those also.
I made a hearty salad with bagged greens, noodles, turkey, sugar snap peas, sliced red pepper, tomatoes, cran raisins, croutons from the cheesy semolina bread, feta cheese , chopped maple pecans and Good Seasons dressing. Phew!
I baked the three cheese semolina bread from KA. It was delicious although it didn't have a lot of big holes. Probably didn't proof long enough. I had a gift certificate from KA and the free shipping was just too tempting. Now I have semolina flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, expresso powder and lemon powder to find uses for.
