Last night I made Spice Muffins from a recipe on a bag of Arrowhead Mills rye flour. The recipe calls for one cup of rye flour and one cup of oat flour. Oat flour isn't something I stock so I made it from old fashioned oats in a food processor, easy enough. I subbed maple syrup for the honey it calls for but I made an error, it calls for 1/2 cup of honey and I inadvertently used only 1/4 of maple syrup. It came out good but not sweet. I'm tempted to make a little frosting for them.
Tonight I made a batch of sandwich buns.
Yesterday I made stir fry with a left over pork chop, celery, carrots, onion, broccoli and mushrooms. Had it with brown rice.
I found a steak in the freezer so I made that tonight. Had it with bow tie pasta, I used a jar sauce in which I first sauteed some celery, onion, carrot, mushrooms and peas, then added the sauce.
One of the blueberry pie recipes I make uses 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, 1 tsp of lemon zest and lemon juice. It makes a very fragrant pie.
Today I made some potato soup. I used 2 strips of smokey bacon in which I sauteed some onion and a fair amount of celery and carrots. Then I added about 3 cups of potatoes and a quart of boxed chicken broth. After the potatoes were tender I gave it a ride in the food processor. I add a touch of half and half to it when I serve it. Came out pretty good. I portioned some out and froze it. It makes a good lunch with a small sandwich.
I roasted a fresh salmon fillet, baked sweet potato and broccoli.
BakerAunt, it looks like our menus are similar. I bought pork chops for tomorrow and the next couple of days.
Joan, this is the most snow we have had in a number of years. Most years are lighter but every now and then we get hit. We had snow 10 days in a row now. Most days it was not a lot but we had a pretty good amount a couple of days ago.
I made a simple pizza.
Today's high was 24 and that felt pretty good! Temp forecast is looking good, 30's and maybe 40 next Tuesday.
I don't know about you, but I've had enough snow for the year.
I made a boneless pork chop, noodles and peas, and gravy with mushrooms.
I made banana pecan waffles from a couple of bananas that were more ripe than I like. I also put in a quarter cup of almond flour and oats. They came out pretty good and I have leftovers for tomorrow.
I had a breaded chicken breast sandwich, roasted sweet potato, broccoli and cranberry sauce.
I made a pumpkin pie.
Mike, glad to hear that your surgery went well.
Tonight was the same as last night, stuffed pepper, cheese tortellini and broccoli. I found a container of homegrown tomato sauce in the freezer that I warmed up the pepper in.
Chocomouse, at least you have blueberries for another project!
Tonight I made a batch of my sandwich buns.
I had a stuffed pepper, cheese tortellini and broccoli.
Happy Birthday to your husband, Joan!
I made stuffed red bell peppers and had one with mashed potatoes. There are enough left for the next several days, I'll just change up the sides.
