I had a stuffed pepper, carrots and home made garlic mashed potatoes. I usually make mashed taters from a box (I have no issues with those) but I bought fresh potatoes the other day.

I made stuffed peppers today.

Happy Birthday, BA!

I'm making a batch of burger/sandwich buns.

My mom also had a grinder attachment for the Sunbeam MixMaster. The Sunbeam wasn't heavy enough to support the weight of the grinder like the KA does, so the grinder had legs. I recall my mom grinding the turkey livers and stuff to put into the stuffing (she would cook it after grinding it) and grinding left over holiday ham to make a sandwich spread. She would also grind poppyseeds once or twice a year to use in a pastry (kolaches) and maybe a poppyseed cake (she didn't make that too often). I'd say she probably used the grinder a half dozen times a year, tops, but it was there when she needed it.

Pork chop, rice and red cabbage.

BA, I think you should be able to buy it at Binny's online, they could ship it to you. Of course, shipping would cost a few dollars.

Spaghetti, meatballs and broccoli.

On Saturday I made a small batch of pizza dough, enough for 2 pizzas. Tonight I had the second one, with pork meatballs and green peppers. It was pretty good.

I like having the grinder for convenience and freshness of the ground meat. It also has 3 different sizes of grinding plates so I can select the size I want. It also came with sausage stuffing tubes, I might be tempted to try some day.

Ground or shredded carrot can go into just about any ground meat, but the reason I do it is because it helps to push through remnants of the ground meat. To clean it, I use a bottle brush and a nylon bristle brush for the grinding plate, so it's really not too difficult.

Italiancook, you have to slice the meat into strips or cubes first and there's the clean up afterwards, but the grinding itself goes pretty fast. Altogether it's a little time consuming but not terrible.

I'm going to have some pork meatballs that I made yesterday, red cabbage and roasted potatoes.

[RiversideLen]

Yesterday I ground up pork loin chops, sprinkled with fennel seeds, a little salt and oregano. Also a couple of carrots. I made meatballs with it, they taste a little like Italian sausage. I sliced a couple of them and put it on a pizza. I was a little concerned that the loin chops might be too lean but they are fine.

I'm getting my use out of the grinder attachment for the KA.

According to Youtuber, Glen and Friends (he does a lot of research on old recipes, both baking and cooking) the term shortening originally meant any fat. Solid fat if my memory serves me right.

BA, I love making pizza in cold weather, the heat from the pre bake doesn't go to waste!

I used up the last of my braided loaf yesterday so I made another small round loaf. It weighed a pound, pre baked. This time I included rye so I did not braid it.
