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

[miss fortune]

I want some homemade vanilla things!! Send me some!

Maybe we could do a holiday gift exchange... do you want anything hand-knit?

Also this was the recipe I was thinking of, with the sundried tomato pesto: Half Baked Harvest - One-Pan Spring Tuscan Quinoa Bake

Pro tip: seriously reduce the amount of olive oil you put in. Other than that, friggin amazing. Loved it.

I'm down for that... I'm completely obsessed with knit hats to the point where I taught myself to knit just for that purpose

I'm thinking of doing vanilla sugar, some tea and these cookies this year for gifts!

and that recipe looks delicious... will have to try it out since I usually have the ingredients laying around!

Ground flaxseed in shakes for the win!! (This one is my favorite: Peanut Butter Banana Oat Smoothie - Let Why Lead I make it way more than I should, haha)

that is actually his all time favorite shake

an experiment that turned out actually fairly tasty




i cut up some onion heated some oil and butter in a wok added the onion softened it than added, garlic, ginger powder, paprika, fennel seeds red pepper flakes, cummin, thyme salt and pepper cooked for a minute or 2. then 2-3 shots of balsamic cooked for another minute added smoked sausage and enough pepsi to cover let it reduce and simmer for 20 plus minutes take the sausage out put on plate turn heat to high for about 5 minutes and boil the shit out of the sauce the only thing is i wish i had corn starch or all purpose flour cuz the sauce was really too thin. and the sauce ended up being bit sort of sweet with a kick so like sweet and spicy and it was even better dipping the sausage in mustard, (grainy highly reccomended) the thing is i tasted as a went some of the spices weren't added til after i added the pepsi but i reccomend adding them before nor did a measure anything just enough pepsi to cover is the only thing and 3/4th of a red onion and 2 cloves of garlic. i didn't think it turned out but it did.
I should mention the sausage i had bought it already cooked so i'd probably cook it longer and possibly precook it in the onion spice mixture before adding the pepsi.

ALigot is a french speciality mainly coming from the area of Cantal (the same name as its cheese),

it is made with mashed potatoes, garlic, cream, butter and, of course "tome fraîche du cantal", this famous cheese of ours !

Here is a french link you can probably translate for history and cooking Aligot de l'Aubrac

Wow this is a really bad page for hungry people.

Anywho, I made a thing! Who knew I could cook?

Onion and Pepper Smothered Round Steak from Emeril Lagasse

Looks like slop and there is a bit more heat than I'd like, but it is flavorful and delicious. I'll cut down on the cayenne and black pepper next time. This one's a keeper.

Fantastic thread!
I decided to make "Bacon" out of portobello mushrooms. Currently it is baking in the oven, so I have yet to taste it.

 

[Qlip]

I made some American food. Pork roast & gravy. Roast Apples, onions & carrots.

Yesterday I made ginger molasses cookies and they turned out perfect. [MENTION=4945]EJCC[/MENTION] I chilled the dough so they wouldn't spread as much. My coworkers and boyfriend were both very pleased when I shared them.

Today I made taco salad with leftover chicken from enchiladas over the weekend.

Veggie Mexican rice bowl. I used Chef of The Future Southwestern seasonings and salt (https://www.chef-ofthefuture.com/) ... and it came out delicious!! Probably some of the tastiest and highest quality seasoning I've had in a while, the spices taste super fresh.

Rice, stewed tomatoes, onion, garbanzo beans, cheddar cheese, olives, sour cream, and avocado. So goooood!!

[MENTION=4945]EJCC[/MENTION] I chilled the dough so they wouldn't spread as much.

Ohhh. That explains why my ginger cookies turned out kind of crunchy. Lesson learned!

 

[Raffaella]

Calzone and chocolate tarte.

I really love to bake, it's nice to get back into it.

 

[Showbread]

Making this fabulous cinnamon bread. Although the dough was stickier than usual before proofing, not sure how it will end up turning out.

Lentil mushroom "stroganoff"

 

[Tellenbach]

Chinese Braised Beef from America's Test Kitchen. Chris said this was the best beef stew or something so I had to make it. It's in the oven right now.

Verdict: It's good but not great. I don't really like the taste of the 5-spice.

Kimchi ramen!

https://web.archive.org/web/20150115233620/http:/www.happyolks.com/kimchi-ramen

Yummy recipe. (There's a reason it got so popular with food-blog types recently.)

I kept the leftover broth (sans miso) and leftover noodles / kimchi to eat tomorrow. I think when I eat the leftovers I will use the actual requested amounts of kimchi and miso. I accidentally used too much kimchi and not enough miso and it was kind of overwhelmingly kimchi-y.

 

[SiegfriedSchtauffen]

Layered potatoes with 50% boiled eggs and 10% smoked sausage. (With my style this is rather "layered eggs".)

 

[gromit]

Broccoli quiche. I nailed it.

 

[Tellenbach]

Charlaine's Very Unsophisticated Supper Dip from 'The Mystery Writers' Cookbook'. The photo looked delicious so I had to make it; it tastes just like regular chili which is weird because it uses dry ranch dressing, taco mix, and red wine. There are better chili recipes out there.

Frozen potstickers.

This is definitely not going to be a cooking week. I'm all cooked out from Thanksgiving.
