Re: Sunday baking/cooking?

  • Yesterday I made a massive lasagna (filled my roasting pan) and oatmeal cookies...half with milk chocolate chips and half with white chocolate and cranberries.
  • I made the first corn on the cob of the season last night AND roasted asparagus. So yummy. This morning I made waffles from scratch.
  • Chocolate Chip cookies from scratch Yes

    sm23 - where was the corn from? I live near Brentwood and can not wait until fresh corn is in season here. I get excited each time my H and I drive by the corn fields and see baby stalks, lol.

  • This was a big cooking weekend for us.

    Friday night we did a cooking class at Cucina Bambini in San Jose that was really funny. We made chicken, spinach, and mozzarella wontons, ceasar salad, roasted salmon with oyster mushrooms and crispy potatoes, and creme brule.

     Saturday night I made steak with sweet potato gnocchi, and corn on the cob.

     Yesterday we went to a potluck dinner and I made my smoked gouda mac and cheese, but my friend is a really strict vegetarian so there was no bacon and instead I added onions to it.

    This week I have friends from home visiting so I will be doing a lot of cooking and baking. Baked chicken, dressing, cupcakes, blondies, crepes, gnocchi, quiche, and a bunch of other stuff on are the menus.

  • It was a crazy busy weekend, and we were out for most of it (birthday parties and other get togethers) or I was doing homework. I didn't cook much, but I baked cupcake pops for church.
