Last thing I baked was banana bread. My secret is I keep old bananas in the freeze, and only bring out 4x and let them thaw and then squeeze the googy insides out when it is time to bake. I find this method works a lot better than mashing bananas with a fork.
I accidentally bought mushrooms today, the large container. Once home I discovered a paper bag full of some in the very back of the fridge..... so they became part of steak/mushroom ( heavy on the shrooms! ) stew, then baked up 2 full sheets of Puff pastry. Layered the pastry and stew into my ceramic dish....Mmmmm.
Pie, the thing I baked was PIE....ha ha
It was also time to use up the remaining beets from early Oct.....so that is now Borscht. ( my hands were so red but worth it. ) I put some very thin strips of tender steak into the soup.
Butter tarts!
Just made a batch of Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies, but mine are not Gluten Free since my oats are not Gluten Free. It is the easiest recipe, so quick to make. By mistake, we ended up with a jar of Crunchy Peanut Butter, we are not Crunchy Peanut Butter people but using it in these cookies is AMAZING.
Mmmm @SassyAshley those " non gluten free " PB cookies sound scrumptious. We are also not crunchy PB lovers here.
I split up a bag of frozen lean gr beef to make one long bread pan sized loaf of lasagna and a pot of fusilli with meat sauce.
That turban squash is stuffed. Layered inside with a sausage filling and the mashed squash filling....oh mama it is so tasty!

I also tried a new recipe today, Lemon Cream Cheese Crumble Cookies but to me, they are a bar/square, not a cookie. You make them in a 9x13 and once they are done you cut them into squares so they are a bar in my book.
It is a lemon cookie base with a Lemon Cream Cheese layer and then you save some of the cookie base to crumble on top.
Mom really liked them, I was expecting the cookie base to be a bit thicker but if it was there would be too much cookie not enough cream cheese. But you do have to be careful when eating them as the base isn't overly thick. I would 100% make them again.
Bonus there is a cheat, you use a lemon cake mix to make the cookie base.
@SassyAshley does it taste tart or really lemon-y? it sounds like a quick and easy recipe, please do share. TIA
I'm waiting for the marble cake finish baking (a starbucks copycat recipe I found googling)
@Purdee , no it is not tart and the lemon flavour is mild.
Here is the recipe I used: https://thegirlinspired.com/lemon-cr...e-cookie-bars/
Not sure if it matters but my cake mix was Duncan Hines because that is what I had on hand.
thank you for sharing, odd my local RCSS website is not showing any cake mix in lemon flavour :( guess i'll have to try walmart
Chocolate chip cookies. It was either that or turn on the furnace.
ty @SassyAshley for posting the lemon bars. I'm curious to try a batch so I've printed off the recipe.
Following a recipe I found on the web, I used a box of vanilla cake mix from the recent deal at SDM to make banana chocolate chip muffin cake with fiber. ICYDK, muffin cake is just muffin batter baked in a rectangular pan.
I had some blueberries in the fridge to use up so:
Yesterday I made 2 x Blueberry Ricotta Loaves to also use up some Ricotta I needed to use.
Today I made a batch of Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins but I subbed Greek Yogurt for Sour Cream.
I am still watching religiously Natasha's kitchen recepies videos or blog
I want to start using my new slow cooker..but apart pork and chicken ..no idea what I want to cook..I saw you can even make desserts in that wow awesome.
Since I buy already made smooties because of my lack of time...
