Boy I've been missing of late. But I do still cook. Most of my cooking is of the "bulk" variety.
So here are a few of the recipes that I have been making -
Veggie frittata squares - these are really easy for our Sunday morning brunches. And even when I don't know what to take, as long as I have a dozen eggs, some cheese, and some sort of veggie - then I'm good. Last week was potato and parmesan, this week is asparagus and red pepper and cheddar.
Applesauce carrot muffins - we had leftover applesauce from the week of the stomach flu. I adjusted this recipe a bit - it seemed like too many steps for me. So I did it in one bowl:
Mix wet ingredients - I subbed 1/3 c sugar for the honey. I only used 1/4 c butter and used 1/4 c canola oil.
Add dry ingredients - I didn't blend them in a bowl first, one less dish. Also, I just used 1/2 c whole wheat and 1 c regular flour because that's what I had.
Add applesauce
Add carrots
They were really very good. We still have a few left
Pumpkin chocolate chip bread - I made some substitutions here, based on what I had (you can see those in my comments on the pin). It was great and my 9 year old LOVED it. Also, I used fresh pumpkin that I pureed and froze a couple of months ago.
Asparagus potato soup - this is in the pot right now. I had leftover asparagus from the frittata, and I didn't buy enough veggies this week. So this is going to "stretch" my asparagus. This is a new recipe for me, so I will let you know how it comes out. I did not make the stock - it seems like a waste of good veggies to me - I used a veggie bouillon cube.
Carrot ginger soup
Chicken fried rice
About the only thing left to cook this week is some canned tomatoes - I haven't yet decided if I will make a third soup (tomato soup) or a curry dish.
