 salted butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies 

this is not the very delicious sheet pan chicken meatballs, this is the batter for The Girl's birthday cupcakes.

this is a box of tim biebs timbits, not the best potato-latkes I've ever made.

this is our version of Ina Garten's kielbasa with mustard dip

i used sour cream instead of mayo for the dip by mistake but we loved it that way

 

this is delicious pea soup.
 

this is not the very delicious one pot beef stifado that I made and we enjoyed so much and then our fridge stopped working and we lost a bunch of food including the leftover stifado which I think would have made very delicious leftovers, this is a rainy April walk.

This is from homemade pizza night, it's not a super delicious Creamy Tuscan Orzo that almost everyone in the family liked.  Almost.

These are deer at MacArthur Island, not Weeknight Root Vegetable Dal that only the Mister and I liked.

spicy fried cauliflower "chicken"

 I love vegetarian and vegan food, but I don't love pretty much any of the "meatless meat" alternatives out there, personally.  I would rather just eat vegetables than chickenless chicken.  

I was excited to find this recipe in my copy of Sweet Potato Soul  - cauliflower fried like chicken!  The Boy also thought it was interesting, so we gave it a try.

 

And we loved it! It was easy, as easy as anything fried gets, and it was delicious.  I definitely could have used more of the seasoned flour to get through all my cauliflower pieces, but even though some of the last pieces to get battered and fried were light on the batter, they were still delicious.
