Sunday baking/cooking/eating

Did you bake/cook anything good this weekend? How about just eat something good? What was the best thing you ate this weekend? As always, if you have a great recipe, please share.

Re: Sunday baking/cooking/eating

  • I'll contribute today/tonite!  I made pumpkin pie bars yesterday for our dinner with friends.  They turned out pretty tasty!  I love many things pumpkin.

    Also made a black bean/goat cheese dip.  Turned out good, but I would change a few things next time.

  • The best thing I ate all weekend was a tofu dish at an Indonesian restaurant. I don't know what the spices were, but wow, yummy (and they cut the tofu super duper small. Of course! More surface area for flavoring that way.)

    I'm baking for an event this weekend and made snickerdoodles, and coconut cookies that I will dip in chocolate later.

    Right now there is herb cheese bread in the oven. We'll see how that turns out.

  • I tried a new recipe from an old Sunset magazine: black pepper tofu and green beans. It was good!

    We had breakfast at a vegan donut shop this morning with friends (they also do brunch on the weekends.) I had a really good blueberry donut there  :)

  • I made an awesome cornmeal pizza crust yesterday. We had 3 different pizzas with various combos of mozzarella, goat cheese, turkey Cajun sausage, heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers and caramelized onions. Yum!

    And this morning I made zucchini pancakes from scratch. They're becoming a weekend tradition around here.

  • I made:

    broccoli casserole

    pumpkin muffins (and I forgot the brown sugar so they are not sweet so I made my own butter and brown sugar mix to spread on them instead).

    Chewy oatmeal raisin cookies were DH ate 1/2 of them... I was hoping they would last a few days

    Quinoa for quinoa "cakes" I plan to make this week

  • The only cooking I did was making pancakes Sunday morning. Nothing special, I followed the recipe on the Bisquick box and added vanilla & sugar. They were yummy!
  • I made brownies and zucchinni & gouda crostini. A friend of mine made snickerdoodles that were super good and I just had some carrot cake cupcakes that were amazing...I think all of us grad students are stress baking. Haha.
