Coconut Kreme Mini Pies

Ever since I made coconut custard mini pies with Brandi, I have had ideas about how to make a tofu-based version. I tried them out today, and they are great!

 

Sausage and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

 I had some peppers from Costco sitting in the refridgerator - so I decided to make Sausage and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers. (This helps to prove that I sometimes cook dinner.)

Lemon Butter Cookies

I wanted to make lemon cookies with my cookie spritzer today, so here's my Lemon Butter Spritz Cookies.

Bacon Cheese Meringue Puffs

I was talking to Susan recently, and she mused she would like not only gluten free, but some carb free snack.  Ok, that was my chef's challenge - I decided to make up a recipe for Bacon Cheddar Meringue Puffs.

Quick Biscuits for Two

I wanted to freshen up  leftover soup for dinner, so I made Quick Biscuits for Two. I added a bit of cheddar - this is optional.

Hasselback Apples

It is cold here in Orlando - so I made some Hasselback Apples to go with dinner.

Smoky Cheddar Corn Flour Crackers

Cooking challenge - small snacks with corn flour using my cookie press.
I came up with Smoky Cheddar Corn Flour Crackers - these are gluten free.

Pasta e Fagioli (Paste and Bean) Soup

I wanted to plan something for dinner that went with focaccia. I decided to make Pasta e Fagioli (Paste and Bean) Soup, but I did not make focaccia.

(The soup looks very thick here because this is the leftovers, and the pasta drank up some of the broth.)

Fluffy Dinner Rolls

My sister Libby recommended the Fluffy Dinner rolls from the recent Cook's Illustrated.
They were very tasty - here is my version.

Sous Vide Pork Chops

We bought some boneless pork loin - trying sous vide pork chops.

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

I tried the HelloFresh meals for a week - here is my version of their Skillet Chicken Pot Pie. 

Peanut Butter Pressed Cookies

I decided to try out my new cookie press with Peanut Butter Pressed Cookies.

Mini Chocolate Mint Cupcakes

So it's my birthday. Doug plans to make me a cake (brave man baking for a foodie...), but I offered to bake some treats for social hour tomorrow. These are mini chocolate mint cupcakes.
