Greetings from Pasadena, CA, where I’m cooking/ feeding two adults and several felines.
Last week was a bust in terms of meal planning - only thing accomplished from my list was the birthday carrot cake for my partner. We seem to have otherwise subsisted on leftovers and scrounging. Between the election and the Mountain Fire/Santa Ana winds I lacked interest in cooking or eating.
Meh.
This week, though, I aim to be more productive, as my partner leaves next Saturday to visit his father and I offered to help restock his freezer. So much cooking, baking, portioning, LABELING, and freezing is in store.
Cooking and freezing:
- Multi-bean chili (no tomatoes)
- Split pea soup
- Stuffed and baked shells with marinara
- Maybe Beige Soup (as I’m craving it)
Baking and freezing:
- Double-batch of cornbread
- Blueberry and pear (or apple, peach, etc.) mini loaves
- Pumpkin mini loaves
- Double-batch of Peasant Bread, baked as focaccia
- Maybe this coffee/crumb cake, which I love and had forgotten about until @MunchkinRedux posted it
We’ll see how it goes, but I know if I can keep busy and productive I’ll feel better about life.
I do hope all - those posting and those lurking - are well and taking care of themselves and those around them.
