Re: Sunday baking/cooking?

  • Ugh, I wish this weather was better so we could barbecue! I've been looking forward to it, and it's just not happening!

    I made chicken in the oven with barbecue sauce, asparagus, crash potatoes, and a salad. Huz chopped up some strawberries and bananas, and we added grapes and some cool whip and made a fruit salad for dessert. It was all really good, and totally hit the spot.

    I made donut cake pops for Huz's little cousin's birthday party/sleepover on Friday. Those things were *loaded* with sugar (donut, candy melts, and covered with sprinkles), so they gave them to the kids as they left Saturday morning lol.

  • No Sunday cooking/baking for me I slept all day (after spending the morning and early afternoon with the ILs). But I worked 13 hours each on Fri and Sat making 2 wedding cakes, a 50th anniversary cake, a Dora the Explorer cake, a Mickey cake, and a cupcake cake in the shape of a bear. Today I have to make a birthday cake for my sister (turing the big 2-0) that is all for baking until i go back to work on wednesday. hope everyone has a great week!

  • I did lots of cooking/baking this weekend:

    Hot and sour soup

    won tons

    Banana muffins (I cheated and used a box since I had it and lots of overripe bananas)

    "fried" rice

    fajitas in the crockpot (for tonight's dinner)

    bacon wrapped scallops

    the infamous roasted broccoli

    oh and I made the best fries this weekend:

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.Get some russet potatoes. We used 2 large ones since it is only the 2 of us. (or you can get some frozen ones) and cut them up for fries. Put them in a plastic bag and get some Old Bay Season and little bit of olive oil and put them in with the fries. Shake the bag to get the fries coated. Put them on a baking sheet for 15-20 mins (ddepending on how crispy you want them). They are awesome.

  • I tried a blueberry BBQ sauce on my salmon this weekend and it was really good. It is from the How Sweet It Is blog. I basted it on the fish and then we grilled it. Yum!
  • I made the beet risotto that Stef posted about last week and it was really good! It helps that I love beets though - I'm planning to make borscht with what didn't get used for the risotto later in the week. We had grilled chicken with a Mediterranean marinade along with the risotto.
