We had a couple of really nice fall days and then a bunch of weird warm days. It’s currently raining sideways and so windy outside that I was considering taking down my porch spinners as I thought they were just obnoxiously loud. But then the sideways rain started. Raking leaves tomorrow may not happen after all. I’m terribly upset about that, as you may imagine. 🙂
So with the cooler weather, we’ve had cozy food lately. I ended up making more Hobbit themed food after the party. These are British Chicken and Mushroom mini pies from The Petite Cook. https://thepetitecook.com/traditional-british-mini-chicken-mushroom-pie/
They were yummy! I would make them again. The Husband liked them too, but I did snag him with my chicken potpie, so it’s not surprising. 🙂
I had a lovely afternoon tea for a lunch during a week long virtual training. It was so fancy! I had egg salad, cucumber sandwiches, a pear muffin, and strawberries and cream. It was a nice meal!
We also had tortilla rollups, which are not exactly Hobbit food, but are a good party bite.
We haven’t had this Sausage Tortellini soup in a while. It’s from Our Best Bites. I didn’t use the recipe this time, but I’ll post it for you. https://ourbestbites.com/tortellini-sausage-soup/. It was good! We used turkey Italian Sausage instead of pork and I had no zucchini. It sounds weird, but don’t leave out the apple juice. We did once and it was not good.
We have had breakfast for dinner again as well, this time with a scrambled egg thing with ham and potatoes and pancakes. I have finally admitted that I do not enjoy cheese in scrambled eggs. It makes them slimy. So I baked mine in the oven for a little bit, since it was keeping the pancakes warm anyway. The Husband will get his own cheesy egg pan from now on.
We did cook together one Friday too! The Husband seared pork chops and I made mac and cheese with veggies. I put the panko in melted butter before putting it on the mac and cheese and they got nice and brown. They were both good!
This is a green chili chicken leftover wrapped in homemade crescent dough. I used our homemade salsa verde and it was super spicy! It definitely opened our sinuses right up.
We’ve used the crescent dough a couple of times recently. I really wanted little pigs in blankets, so made it again after the party. We paired them with a nice salad, since we’re grownups and all that. 🙂
These are a few breakfast things I have made. The Danish were made with the leftover crescent dough from the piggies. I used peach amaretto jam from a local orchard and cream cheese.
These are banana breakfast bars. https://www.crazyforcrust.com/banana-breakfast-bars/. I’ve made them a few times and they are good. Piggy also got pb oat banana treats as well, but they are in the freezer. She jumps for treats and it’s super good at not getting fingers as well as treats, so no pictures. She likes them a lot though and will drool if you have them out.
We had corned beef and corned beef hash with the leftovers. Both were yummy. I did have a minute of laughing when it wouldn’t fit in the crockpot and I had to try to cut it down while in a hurry to get to work. It worked out though!
Burgers made an appearance too. The buns got a little overly toasty, but they were tasty otherwise.
I’ll leave you with a picture of butter and herbed garden rainbow carrots! They were delicious, but the husband felt they were too weird. He said “I didn’t even know carrots came in other colors until I met you!” He’s strange, but I think I’ll still keep him.
