And just finished making a large jar of dill refrigerator pickles.

Now time to relax.

You're way too energetic for me!

I miss canning.

Our lockdown restrictions eased up a little bit last week and all of my friends who've been comfort baking took the opportunity to offload extra cake, so now there are five different types of cake in our house.

It was six but we've been working on the backlog. Cakelog?

Maybe you could freeze some or re-gift???

Fathead dough only uses almond flour, mozzarella, and eggs. You should Google it, I think you'd like it.

Sounds delightful.

Oh, I don’t can. It was refrigerator pickles which are easy. And the applesauce basically makes itself and then I freeze it.

I wish I knew how to can and was comfortable doing it.

Stuffed green peppers simmering on the stove. Its going to be a late dinner tonight.

Taco salad. I think everyone else's sounds much more delicious.

 

[shmily]

Made a loaf of beer bread, seasoned with, garlic, onion and added sausage and cheese. Yum

What goes into a taco salad?


Yesterday I made soup with yellow foot mushrooms and topped it with dehydrated, ground black chanterelles and chives for extra mushroomy goodness and color.

I also made a quiche with mixed mushrooms - chanterelles, porcini, yellowfoot, wood hedgehogs and black chanterelles. It looks gross, but hopefully tastes good. I'm having some for lunch with salad today and probably the same for dinner because I don't think I have the energy to cook when I get home.

Spaghetti squash and bolognese.

'Tis the gourd season!

 

[gracie920101]

You know, I truly try to like spaghetti squash. I like the look of it, and when I low carb, it’s great.
It’s sweet. I prefer the zucchini “zoodles.”

When eaten with marinara, its okay but I use it as a side with just butter, salt and pepper as if it was just another squash.

 

[gracie920101]

I tried roasting with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic prior to the marinara, but it wasn’t a good fit for the sauce. With the zoodles, I don’t miss the pasta, because it’s bland.

I've been searching for a pasta substitute and I found this today and may try it tomorrow if I can locate some xanthan gum in a small quantity in case I don't like the recipe. I have Red Mills Paleo flour already on hand and it's almond flour.

[gracie920101]

Do you taste the almond?

I really don't.

 

[gracie920101]

I really don't.

We had pancakes last Sunday and I ate 3 for a total of 12 carbs. J thought they were better than my standard Betty Crocker recipe I've used for years.

I was feeling really good about my daily glass of V8 juice. Then I read the label. They must make that stuff in a salt mine.

Why fakeses, Precious?

Not grilled on a (vertical) rotisserie.

 

[Primalex]

What kind of meat?

Pork.

And does anyone have a vertical rotisserie lounging about their kitchen?

I'm too foodie to understand your question.

Smoked Roast Beef (off my pellet grill), roasted baby potatoes with olive oil, herbe dProvince and parmesan cheese shavings with a red wine-cremini mushroom jus and something in the salad family. Fresh local macaroons for dessert (Grandpa better get the lemon one!!!!)
