We seem to have gotten some of our food mojo back and I’m remembering to make simpler things for my longer days. We’ve had a couple of take out meals too.
I’ve even made fancy breakfasts! We had homemade hash browns, bacon, eggs, and homemade cinnamon bread from the farm store. We learned two things after this meal. 1- Bacon might be out for me. I felt super sick later that day. 2- Don’t put the frosted bread in the toaster oven without a tray otherwise it will catch on fire… The breakfast was still tasty though.
Technically, I think I ate these ableskiver for dinner, but they are breakfast food. I didn’t try to fill them this time and used fresh buttermilk and they were much better than my last attempt. The jam is plum cardamom.
These muffins got a little more brown than I expected, but they weren’t over baked. I used this recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/banana-muffins/comment-page-8/
I subbed some of the flour for pumpkin seed protein powder and added mini chocolate chips and sliced almonds. I would make them again.
I made myself an oat smoothie bowl too, but it doesn’t look very photogenic, so I won’t share it. It was pretty good though and included frozen and fresh berries, ground oats, pumpkin seed protein powder, and yogurt. Probably a little of whatever juice we had in the fridge too.
We had some fancy desserts. This one sounded like it might be ok, but it turned out to be not as pleasant as I thought it should be. It’s a 2 ingredient chocolate mousse pudding. You don’t really even need a recipe, as you just replace the milk called for in the instant pudding recipe with heavy cream and go from there.
It felt kind of greasy and was super rich. I don’t think I’d make this again. The Husband didn’t like it either.
We just had Oreo pudding, which was much better.
We of course, had fancy pies for Pi Day. I made quiche in the morning, apple hand pies for lunch, Chicken Cottage Pie, and Oreo Pudding pie for dinner.

I can’t find the exact recipe I used for the Oreo pie, but this one, also from Sally’s Baking Addiction looks similar. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/cookies-cream-pie/
We had turkey Italian Sausage pasta one night for a quick dinner.
These were accidentally super spicy beef enchiladas. No recipe, I just cooked the beef with onions, salsa, and garlic, added some store enchilada sauce, wrapped them up and baked them for about 20 minutes.
Apparently the chili powder I used is very hot, plus the enchilada sauce was medium hot, and the salsa was our Fire Roasted salsa, which we hadn’t tried yet. 😳 Lots of liquids were consumed and we both had ice cream for dessert. Take it from me, always taste your salsa!
Now that I’ve made myself hungry again, some salsa sounds good. I think I’ll go sample some more!
