Chocolate Sour Cream Coffee Cake Bars

I modified a recipe a smidge to use up leftover Halloween candy and excess sour cream (mistaken for cottage cheese at Costco). It is Chocolate Sour Cream Coffee Cake Bars, and is not recommended for diabetics.

Smoky Roast Almonds

Doug was wondering recently if I could make some smoked almonds. I combined some recipes to come up with these.

Meatball Salad

I was looking for a low carb dinner idea. I ran across a mention of Meatball Salad. Hmm - I have frozen meatballs and salad fixings. I also like roasted peppers and onions. Ok, I had a plan for dinner.

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten Free)

I was looking for a recipe to use up a bunch of egg yolks. I was also looking for a gluten free recipe. I found an almond flour cookie recipe, which I adapted a bit. (I already had almond flour in the refrigerator.)

California Wheels

I wanted to make an appetizer for a 'California'  themed potluckm so I came up with California Wheels. Chicken, cream cheese, cilantro, and avocados are the main ingredients.

Pot Roast

Doug asked for pot roast for dinner sometime, and even suggested a recent recipe from the Orlando Sentinel. So I made him pot roast and homemade bread.

Cottage Cheese Pancakes

I tried a new recipe today - cottage cheese pancakes! They are low carb and high protein.

Swedish-y Meatballs

We had no plans for dinner, so did some freezer diving. Found some old frozen meatballs, had some onions so decided to make Swedish-y Meatballs.

Plain Tea Cake Cookies

Emily asked me if I could make her some plain tea cake cookies for the Children's Moment tomorrow. She sent me a recipe that was an adaptation of Lottie Moon's Tea Cake Cookies.
I surfed the Internet last night learning about Tea Cake Cookies, and ended up making a recipe that I believe is closer to Lottie's original version.

Mini Tomato Pies

I haven't baked in days - really!
Doug mentioned something about a Scout Court of Honor tomorrow, and I have a bunch of tomatoes.
So tomato pie is a thing - I decided to try baking Mini Tomato Pies.

Taco Rolls

I needed to use my sourdough starter for something, and we had some leftover taco meat. I decided to make Taco Rolls.

Rosemary Feta Sourdough Crackers

I decided to try out a new version of my sourdough cracker recipe. I replaced the butter/oil with cheese, and used my pasta roller to roll out the crackers. It was successful!

Roasted Chicken and Pepper Salad

I wanted something light for dinner for mself, so I decided to roast a chicken breast and some bell peppers in my Air Fryer for a fancy spinach salad.

Italian Wedding Soup

I had some leftover pork as well as some leftover chicken stock. Since I always have spinach, I decided to make Italian Wedding Soup.

Thai-ish Shrimp and Pork Noodles

I've been reading several books by Ruth Reichl, so I decided to make one of her recipes.

Bourbon Bacon Brussels Sprouts Gratin

Doug challenged me to make a Brussles sprouts pie with bourbon, bacon, and molasses. Since I did not have any molasses on hand, and I wanted to finish the sprouts tonight, I took his challenge as a suggestion and made a Bourbon Bacon Brussels Sprouts Gratin in my new pie dish!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Last week I read a recipe for a Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole. I forgot to bookmark the recipe, so I made up my own version for a 6 serving dish.

Coconut Chocolate Cake

This is a late Valentine's Day cake for my sweetie! (He was out-of-state for Valentine's Day.)
It is healthy-ish - since it is just one layer!

Cheddar Sausage Mini Muffins

We were looking for summer sausage for camping, but could not find any. We bought some pre-cooked smoked sausage instead. We used part of it, and the rest Doug suggested I use for snacks for social hour.

Cherry Topped Chocolate Mini Muffins

I bought some tart dried cherries at Costco for Doug for ice cream add ins. He did not appear very enthusiastic - I think he really wanted sweet cherry syrup. So I decided make some mini Cherry Topped Chocolate Sourdough Muffins with part of them.



   

Lemon Bars

Doug mentioned lemon bars this week, so I decided to make him some.
(If he asks I will tell him that I used tofu instead of eggs and butter in the lemon topping!)

Sourdough Popovers

We had some leftover Mexican soup, and my sourdough starter had not been used in awhile.
This start led me to make cheesy sourdough popovers!

Mexican Soup

I wanted to find a use for some dried chilis I bought awhile ago, so I made some Mexican soup.

Mini Ham, Cheese, and Veggie Quiches

I had a lot of sour cream from Costco, and 'a something' to bring to a party. Since I also had some leftover ham, I decided to make savory Mini Ham, Cheese, and Veggie Quiches. I think Jackie will like them!
