Deliciousness

Well, it was winter briefly! Now it’s spring again and I have no idea what next week will be like. My food tastes are all over the place too. I told the Husband yesterday that I was just so tired of cooking, even though I’m not doing too much more cooking than usual. I think I’m just burning out on all of our regular meals.

I made this really pretty shrimp and veggie stir fry to cheer us both up. It was good and we had jasmine rice with it, as I forgot to have us make rice in the rice cooker. It was quicker. Plus, we are still not done with that weird parboiled rice and I really didn’t want to eat it. 😬

I made these rainbow crepes for Valentine’s Day brunch. I discovered I should get some more food coloring. All I have are red and blue. I did make whipped cream and a berry compote to go with them.

We had our default pizza, although it was more fun because I used a fancy Italian blend flour from Janie’s Mill.

My older brother sent us a four pack of fancy flours for Christmas and I was inspired to try some more. I need to move them downstairs though, as you are supposed to keep them cold. They are a whole grain product and keep better that way. I have to play with them some more and post about it.

The pizza was good. We had our usual ham, mushroom, and onion toppings.

This was supposed to be a garlic knot from this recipe: https://www.ihearteating.com/30-minute-garlic-knots/?epik=dj0yJnU9OEI3TDVkeUY2WjV4ZkZjcUxialBld1ZmT0ZHZ1A5blImcD0wJm49Zmt1cnZDRFZYX2pudTREN1I0OHdvdyZ0PUFBQUFBR0FWNnRj

They didn’t stay tied, as you can see, but tasted good. We had spaghetti with them.

Another quick meal was cheeseburgers. I used the pepper palace spice blend, so it was spicy.

I tried this recipe for baked gnocchi and learned that for the most part, you can leave the gnocchi uncooked and it will cook in the sauce. Not the prettiest dish, but yummy! I omitted the meat and used homemade sauce. https://damndelicious.net/2020/05/16/weeknight-baked-gnocchi/

I’ll leave you with a classic comfort food- chicken potpie over noodles. It was warm and delicious and helped use up leftover chicken.

I hope you’re having good food! We’re trying to do some more interesting meals again and actually meal plan. Wish us luck!
