What I made today

[Anonymous]

I made 2 dozen chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting, 1 dozen lemon cupcakes with lemon buttercream, 8 quarts of applesauce, and 3 lbs worth of chili. Also did 3 loads of laundry and put fresh bedding n all the beds, but now I’m just showing off.
That’s what I came to say.

I made vegetarian shepherds pie with Trader Joe’s beefless beef crumbles. The last time I made mashed potatoes my kid said she didn’t like them, so I put a small amount of mash on the side of hers, just to have… but not all over the top. She ate all the potato and wanted more… kids are so finicky.
It’s true you have to keep exposing them to foods/

I ordered lots of Chinese takeout.

That's wonderful, OP!

I binge-watched Lupin yesterday on Netflix, woke up late today, took care of the pets, prepared a kid for a competition, prepared a meal for tomorrow and made an apple crumble.

Now we're sitting down for a college admissions webinar.

I am ordering Poke for dinner tonight. Youth athletic games took over our weekend and we’re about to head out of town in a few days so trying not to buy a ton of groceries.

I’m jealous of all your baking/laundry OP. I can never seem to keep up that stuff!

I had scrambled eggs and a Dave's Killer Bread bagel for breakfast, then garlic shrimp and pasta with butter for lunch, and tonight I am cooking salmon for the first time (see thread elsewhere in this forum) and will have that with roasted broccoli and a pouch of lentils and brown rice.

Cooked navy beans in pressure cooker, then sautéed onions, garlic, thyme, cabbage with some cumin, seasoning and chili. Added cabbage, beans, and tomato paste, with a little red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and maple syrup.

The kids complained about it and said they had wanted take tonight.

OP here— love seeing what everyone has made. I want to hear more about the tomato basil butter — recipe, please?
And I just recently discovered Dave’s Killer Bread. As recommended because I need more fiber, but I actually really like it as a good everyday sandwich bread.
Hope your salmon turned out great. Salmon is a standard in my house— super easy to cook and even the kids like it.

I made a root vegetable gratin, chicken soup, and washed all the cooking dishes.

I didn't do that much today, but this weekend I made:

- a massive pot of veggie chili
- cornbread
- chicken tinga tacos
- homemade guac and salsa
...and I bought cupcakes

Made several loaves of pumpkin bread for coworkers; tested a new recipe for chocolate chip cookies (still not quite perfect); made a batch of beef stew for the week. made steak salad with blue cheese for dinner. Have a jar of preserved lemon paste that I want to try in a couple of things for the week. Normally make a loaf of challah for the week but skipped it cause used all my flour for pumpkin bread and cookies.

I can improve on this, I looked at an Amazon box and instead of opening it, I checked on the app to see what is in there and decided to leave it for now.
