I took one of the TJ's flat bread pizza crusts and layered pesto sauce topped with pizza sauce, cooked Italian sausage, pineapple, red onion slices presoaked in water and mozzarella cheese. This bakes at 425 for 12 minutes. We love the spiciness of the sausage offset by the sweetness of the pineapple.

Lamb loin chops marinated for one hour in oil, fresh rosemary, thyme, garlic and salt then sauteed
for 3 min per side and baked at 400* for 10 minutes. I served them with mint jelly, mashed potatoes and salad.

Thanks for your empathy. I'm sure you all have similar stories!

I committed myself to bake cc cookies for the gentleman in our community who helped put
our flag up. I found a new cookie recipe online that used an extra 1/4 tsp baking soda and all brown sugar. I preheated my oven and scooped out my cookies on sheet and placed them in the oven. When I tried to set timer on oven it would not set and read "your oven door is open". I couldn't get oven door to close. I checked the internet which suggested pressing the lock button which was a mistake. My oven locked (not door) turned itself off with my cookies melting but not baking in the oven. A call to whirlpool and a trip to the fuse box turned the lock button off but did not fix my door. I tried baking some cookies in my toaster oven. Bad idea. So I baked the cookies with a semi closed door and no timer. The cookies were all different shades of brown. Some turned out like brownie brittle. My husband has eaten most of them anyway. I had the oven door fixed and baked another batch of cookies. It turned out to be a good recipe from Cookies & Cups.

Since I hate to waste I decided to try making a dessert (to bring to neighbors) using up some of my Birds custard powder. I checked the internet for pie filling ideas and for pie crust ideas using up my biscoffs. Should have trusted the custard container directions and not the internet. I ended up stirring that pudding mix for 20 plus minutes until I realized that was too long. I followed the crust directions on another site and it ended in a non cohesive crumble. So I dumped the scrambled egg looking custard in a bowl with the cookie crumbs. I brought over some whipped cream and everyone thought it was delicious!!! Go figure.

I haven't enjoyed BA for a few years now. I think their recipes are strange.

We had store bought salad and cheese bread. The electrical system in our building suffered a fire at 1am Sunday. We will have no electricity for months. Our neighbor in the condo (Florida) helped us to connect to generator so we could plug in the refrigerator. Needless to say neither the stove nor microwave nor dishwasher is working.We have to wash dishes in cold water. We are scheduled to leave on the 24th for home and since the weather hasn't been too bad and the weather is good we will stay til then. Can't wait to get home and start cooking and baking again.

Very impressive!

It's getting down to cleaning out the freezer with only 2 weeks left in Fl. So I had a beef tenderloin chain which I cut up and marinated. Then I fried up some onions and the beef, toasted some corn tortilla shells and put the beef in the shells topped with onions and a splash of hot sauce. Yum!

I bought some flank steak on sale...actually 3 steaks before I realized that I don't like flank steak. No matter if I marinated it or pounded it or cut diamond slits in it the steak was still tough. Finally I found a recipe for slow cooking it. Mongolian beef is the name of the recipe. It wasn't tough but then I wondered if I really got a bargain when cheaper chuck steak would have fit the bill.

Glad all went well. Now time to rest.

Wishing all goes well and that you will have new and improved vision. We need you.

Definitely giving this subject more than it deserves but I remember why I watched the whole show. One of the hosts was sharing tips ie. that one cup of pureed avocado can replace one cup of butter in baked goods ( got that BA?) and the best one.... that you can press leftover french fries in a waffle iron!!!

Roast beef sandwiches with horseradish mayo, Greek pasta salad and broccoli slaw.

Thanks to the rotisserie chicken stock I froze I was able to make "everything but the kitchen sink "soup.
It's that time of year to pack for Florida and I have to get rid of a lot of stuff in the fridge and freezer. I added meatballs, onions, leftover pork tenderloin, carrots, noodles, spring mix leaves....etc.
Somehow it all worked!

ps I heard the FN now has a show involving use of leftovers.
