Re: Sunday baking/cooking

  • We're going to a friend's house tonight for appetizers and sangria. I'm making some quesadillas for that. I also plan on making some rice and black beans with fried plantains so we have some lunch/dinner already made for tomorrow. I am toying with the idea of making some chocolate pudding too, but not sure if I should or will have time...
  • We're going to a barbecue this afternoon and I'll be bringing my tofu kebobs. Tofu cubes marinated in half teriyaki and half tamari, with pineapple, red onion, maybe some tomatoes.

    Also, I got some green garlic at the farmers market, so am going to make this green garlic risotto. And I got the most gorgeous fennel there too (seriously, I love beautiful vegetables. They're like art.) so will probably make a potato/fennel bake.

    My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

    What kind of tofu do you use for these kebabs - firm, extra firm? Sounds like something I should try next time we barbecue. I love grilled pineapple too.

  • Last night I made Chicken Milanese  http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000001981729

    with Creamy Parmesan Orzo

     Both really good cooking light recipes. 

    Later today I am going to make strawberry milkshakes, and we'll be having breakfast for dinner tonight: with eggs from our backyard hens, sausage and toast.  

  • Currently at my mom's house in San Diego. I'm making a roast chicken right now with mashed potatoes for dinner.

  • I ended up making those quesadillas (but with sweet potatoes because I forgot to buy regular potatoes; I like them with regular potatoes better.) I didn't get around to the pudding or the rice and beans/plantains. But I did make banana cakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. The cake was ok. The frosting was amazing. I could eat it straight with a spoon.
  • I made chocolate and strawberry cake pops. They're from this recipe for "cake truffles": I just stuck a lollipop stick in each one.

    SO DELICIOUS. I have about 40 leftover ... come pick them up if you want one!
