Oh, yeah, and stock. Just made a crockpot full of chicken stock this weekend.

Pretty much everything - yogurt, cheese, sausage, ground beef, bread, pasta. It's very time sensitive.

Yogurt
Vegetable bouillon mix
Bread & pizza (occasionally)

It will keep for a long time in or out of the fridge. The oil won't solidify out of the fridge. I don't make salad dressing anymore, just toss with lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper and then balsamic vinegar. Especially delicious if salad has avocado.

How does one "make" ground beef? Doesn't the steer kind of take care of that?

Whipped, flavored cream cheese. I can make mine low fat, any flavor I want and it doesn't taste rubbery.

I make semi-regularly:

Hummus
Baba ghanoush
Stock
Jam
Granola

For hummus and baba ghanoush, I love The Vegetarian Epicure's recipes. She uses a base (tahini, garlic, and lemon) and then you use that for the hummus and the baba ghanoush.

She grinds the beef herself. It doesn't come pre-ground directly from the steer.

I use bread machine to make dough for pizza, naan, etc.

I hope to make my own sauerkraut soon - has anyone had any luck with this?

[Anonymous]

I buy bagels and make seasoned bagel chips

I usually use olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, chilli powder and oregano to season the bagel chips.

Absolutely awesome

Let's see, I make my own:

snack cake (like a more wholesome brownie...my grandma's recipe, kids take it for lunch)

banana bread

faux peanut butter cookies (DS has nut allergy, so I substitute soy nut butter for pb)

...and that's really it. I love Giant's baking aisle. If it's a baking kit of any type, I'm buying!

I cant even be bothered to sift flour and do not own a stand mixer.

Psst... I grew up on a farm. PP wasn't abundantly clear...

On a regular basis, I make vinaigrette, cookies, taco seasoning mix, and chocolate syrup. I also make frosting when I bake cakes or cupcakes, and occasionally make bread.
