i made tacos for Christmas
and a bunch of stuff i didnt have to prep
here’s all the stuff i made today
homemade hummus and a crunchy chickpea snack.
salad i made with the crunchy chickpeas, oiled and salted baby arugula, whipped ricotta, and basil.
french onion soup with a grilled (gruyere and cheddar) cheese sandwich
learning to cook is the quickest way to up your quality of life that i know. any day i can make some food i love even if it is for the first time. i hadn’t made three of these before. i also used the aquafaba for cocktails for the first time tonight. better than egg white!
I made crackers
It’s this recipe. It seems pretty customizable. So far I’ve just done it with cheddar and everything bagel seasoning. But I always got cheeses to use up.
I made a double batch of these and served them all to my kids and their friends and they were gone in 4 minutes. I’m a mom of hungry teens in a commercial lol.
My focaccia is coming together quicker since I’ve been feeding my starter daily. Kinda like working out, it becomes easier if you do it everyday.
I figure if I make bread as much as I have been lately, my life will be a lot shorter but also much fuller.
I keep making crackers. The recipe, as I hypothesized above, is customizable. This time I used parmesan (40g instead of 60g) and switched out the everything bagel seasoning for garlic to make a sort of gar parm cracker. Perfect to make with some tomato soup
My daughter opened up a can of creamed corn when she meant to open up some corn kernels. In order for it to not go to waste, we made this corn casserole.
I tossed in some chopped peppers and shredded some cheese in it as well.
I’ve been making crackers with my sourdough like every two days. I’ve tried different cheeses and different seasonings. But after making mac and cheese and a cheesy corn casserole for the kids tonight, I decided to try something different with the crackers. I made some cinnamon crackers with oats subbed in for the cheese, half the salt subbed out for cinnamon (i think on a second attempt, I might do 2 grams salt, 4 grams cinnamon as they were just slightly too salty), and “seasoned” with powdered sugar.
I could cut this up smaller or even pulverize these pieces to make a killer ice cream topping. It’s good! Soon I’ll need to try some crackers with grains.
