Each kid is picking out a country and I make a dish from there and we listen to that country’s music during dinner. Tonight is Egypt and I am making Koshari for the first time.

I love that website for recipes.

This one was excellent! Thanks for posting. I used curry powder instead of turmeric (because I don't keep that stocked) and a little bit less cinnamon, and I also used about 3/4 pound of cauliflower cut into small florets and chopped stems. I served it with naan bread.

Based on this recommendation- I made this pasta last night. Very good and easy!

I made Sticky Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp the other night. DD inhaled it. I took the advice of a commenter and heated up the sauce separately to thicken it before adding it to the cooking shrimp. Yum!

Love her! If you haven’t yet, you must make her vegetarian chili. It is my favorite of her recipes.

I made yeast rolls for the first time. They were good but not as fluffy as I had hoped.

I made the Once Upon a Chef homemade falafel and it was really good -- I recommend. And not that difficult. I used a little less oil and just rolled them more as I hate wasting all that oil. I also made the pita from thekitchn -- also not hard, although mine didn't totally puff, but I think that's because my oven stinks and loses heat. High temperature is apparently important for the pita to puff, so if you have a crappy leaky oven, kick it up another couple of notches.

I made the NYT Pasta with Garlicky Spinach and Buttered Pistachios tonight - hadn't ever seen the recipe before today, but pistachios are my favorite nuts so I always have them on hand, which made it a pantry pull, didn't even need to make substitutions (thought they say you could use almonds or hazelnuts). Is good, would recommend.

Made a japanese curry with meat, kabocha squash and carrots.

Will be making bolognese sauce tomorrow and prepping chicken divan for Monday.

I’m trying my hand at making hamburger buns and my own veggie burgers.

Going to try that recipe and I just signed up for the Misfit waitlist - thanks!

Made this in the microwave because I was feeling lazy and man it was GOOD. I usually make a mac & cheese with a bechamel sauce with 6-7 spices, 3-4 types of cheese, eggs, and the oven and it takes an hour at least.

But this? Took me 5 minutes. Delighted.
