What did you Bake/Cook Today?!?!?! :)

[five sounds]

Does reheating chili cheese fries (cheddar and American cheese) in the oven count?

I'm making this tonight:

Baked Chilaquiles with Black Beans and Kale – The Bojon Gourmet

I've made it before with salsa verde, but this time I'm making it with roasted red pepper and corn salsa. YUM.

I made ALL of the cupcakes, a few dozen chocolate chip cookies, salmon with mango salsa, broccoli thai salad, and mini egg/spinach frittatas. I have boredom, or should I say, boredom has me.

It's 3 days later, but if you want I have a good and easy recipe for cheesecake with chocolate crust.

I made today alpine cube cake. It's delicious!

Made Alton Brown's Overnight Oatmeal but I ate it after 3 hours instead of waiting for the full 8 hours. It's a bit tart due to the cranberries and I opted for raisins instead of figs. It could use some sweetening, but it is good and easy to make. I'm gonna try drizzling some honey on it.

Pumpkin waffles, bacon, and fruit..... a great start to the Memorial Day feasting...

Cook: Hazelnut & Bourbon Vanilla Bean Cream

It's sweltering and I'm tired. This is amazeballs in iced coffee!

Take that Starbucks.

It's June apparently but it felt like October so Bean and Bacon soup sounded good. I make this in the Instant Pot I got for Christmas. I can't recommend this appliance enough - it's much more than a pressure cooker.

Yesterday I tried to make tortillas.

Don't feel bad. This is one item where it's really technique and practice more than anything else. I just buy raw tortillas and save myself the frustration.

I made a safe lemon garlic chicken recipe out of the slow-cooker book i "borrowed" today.

Also, that cheesecake that I posted about a few weeks ago.

Both turned out well.

Slow Cooker Asian Braised Beef. It's a bit too hot for my taste (it asked for 2 Tbls Sriracha sauce & 1 tsp red pepper flakes) but the beef came out very tender and the sauce smelled great. With some modifications, the recipe is a keeper. If I had more time, I would've cooked it on low for 6 hours, but I ended up cooking it on high for 3 hours and low for 1 hour.

Edit: Ok, it's been sitting in the refrigerator 2 days and it tastes so much better now; the heat from the Sriracha is very tolerable.

Technically I made this yesterday but didn't try it till now. I usually make spanakopita in little triangles but think I prefer this way. I also have discovered I prefer the filling with an egg. Used coconut oil instead of butter. Chopped up fresh dill and roasted it in white pepper for garnish. Gives it a little kick

I cooked a ton of food the other day:
- Sautéed sweet corn and zucchini
- Pork sausage and stir fry vegetables
- Scrambled eggs with mushrooms and mirepoix mix
- Rice with vinegar and pepper
- quick pickled cucumbers
- Peach crumble with oats and only about 2 tbsp. worth of sugar in the whole thing
- I guess you don't cook salad, but I made like 4 of them so that's.. something.

It has felt nice not needing to lift a finger all week to cook. Just heat and eat.

Yesterday I tried to make tortillas.

Same. They have at supermarkets now raw tortillas you cook in the pan yourself.. all the yum of fresh with no work. In Texas I was spoiled with every supermarket having fresh tortilla makers constantly cranking out tortillas you could watch being made right in front of you.
