I'm Dying to Bake and Cook!

It's been 3 weeks since I last baked and cooked. With the move, we packed up all the kitchen stuff a few days before we left, then took a week to drive across the country, stayed in a hotel for a few days and now that we have a place we have to get our gas for our stove/cook top before I can cook or bake! I'm going crazy! I've been looking at tons of food blogs, specifically Annie's Eats, and bookmarking like crazy.

The only other thing stopping me is that we still have to go to the store and buy all the basics again because MIL decided that it was not important to load our box of kitchen staples or our cooler of condiments into our moving truck and that it was more important to put it in her car! I'm getting mad all over again about it!

 

Tell me what you're dying to do, craving to eat or a favorite recipe!

Re: I'm Dying to Bake and Cook!

  • I have already been craving some good dessert, now I am going to have to raid the fridge and see what I can find.

    I want some homemade banana bread and some warm chocolate chip & peanut butter cookies. 

    I also would like some homemade spaghetti & meatballs. I made this about a month or so and it was really good - I just need to get back in the cooking groove and do it again bc H really liked it.

  • Lately I have been craving pumpkin roll and zucchini bread.  And fall always makes me crave chili.
  • You just reminded me that I should marinate my ribs. I'm so sleepy though!!!

  • Since it's finally cooling down (lows in the 70s, people!) I've been wanting to make soup.  All kinds of soup.  It might have something to do with the new stock pot I bought with some Dillard's gift cards, though.

  • Oh Britt I almost forgot about chili!  Definitely one of my favorite cooler weather foods.  Last year, H was in a chili cookoff at work, so I got to be the taste tester for all of his trials.  It. Was. Awesome.  :)

    Also, for some reason, I would almost kill for Chinese food tonight.

    Girl, I had to satisfy that craving tonight after doing 4 loads of laundry.

  • I've been wanting to make soup, too!  It's finally getting a bit cooler here, I'm ready to start using my crock pot (and bread machine!) again.  Our apt doesn't have central air, so cooking decent meals the last month and a half has been minimal at best.
