A burger and mashed taters.

I don't know. The thing is, you can freeze them without blanching but you won't have any idea if there is any difference in the vitamins and other nutrients.

I had a stuffed red sweet pepper with some pasta and a salad.

I made a batch of stuffed red peppers. I think I make mine different from what most people do, I make meatball meat, stuff the peppers with the raw meat, then roast them. I roasted them upside down on a parchment covered wire rack for about 3/4 of the way so excess fat could drip off, then flipped them right side up to finish them. I also slice the peppers in half, down the middle, so each half gets a meatball. That way I don't have to be concerned about them falling over.

In spite of the heat, I made a batch of my sandwich buns.

Skeptic, my oven runs about 10 degrees cool at 350 degrees and I don't compensate for it (assuming the thermometer is correct) so I don't think that was the case. One thing I have thought of is since the measurements were in volume rather than weight, if I might have been a little light with the flour. The cake tasted fine.

Thanks for the recipe, Joan, I might give it a try.

I have a recipe that works pretty good but it calls for a cup and a quarter of oil so I was interested in the Hershey recipe as it uses less. I often sub out a half cup of Greek style yogurt for an equal amount of oil and that works pretty good too.

I made meatballs and spaghetti sauce today. I got to use some of my homegrown herbs for the meatballs, oregano and parsley. The meatballs and sauce are simmering right now, will be done soon. Will have it with a big salad.

I made it over the weekend. I baked it for 12 minutes longer than the instructions suggested. The cake domed while baking (which is what I expect) but then as it cooled the dome sank. The top of bottom of the cake appeared wet. The baked cake did not have a lot of volume. Not sure if I did something wrong. Debating over whether or not to try it one more time.

I guessed wrong. Never really think about carbs when it comes to fruit.

I'm looking at KAF right now, I can save about $25 on a quart of vanilla, but then I'd be paying $20 to ship it.

I found a few other things that I want. I saved $12.23 and spent $12 on shipping for a net saving of 23 cents, so all in all not a bad day on the internet.

I love the spatchcock chicken because it eliminates the cavity. I just put the chicken on a half sheet pan and apply my kitchen shears to it.

I knew this because my neighbor used to feed it to his dog, it's a low cal fill up. He also gave the dog canned pumpkin, he'd go nuts over that.

[RiversideLen]

I guessed it.

I made a round roast the other night so I've been eating off of that for the last 3 days. Last night was roast with rice and canned baked beans and a salad, tonight was the same except I had spaghetti instead of rice.

Thank you Chocomouse and Joan. I've been using those containers for 5 or 6 years now, although this year I expanded from 2 to 4. It's a neat system, there is a coned plastic divider that separates the soil from the water compartment, there are holes in the cones that allows water to wick up into the soil. It holds about 4 gallons of water. So you just keep the thing filled and you have consistent and even watering.
