A quick list of the recipes, some tried before and some new, that I’ve made a point of making this week:

* Roasted Dill Potatoes

* Hearty Carrot Muffins

* Butternut Squash Apple Bake

* Pumpkin Pancakes

* Omelet

I’m really pleased with how all of these turned out, though I’d have enjoyed playing with the recipes more. I’m looking for some more adventurous experiments this coming week. Well, adventurous in that I’ve never cooked barley before, and want to try it… and have no idea how caramel chips (never used those before, either) respond to heat, but want to try adding it to my homemade spiced apple drink… I’d post more recipes here, but very few of these have been my own concoctions (although I’ve “edited” a few). Still, I’m always happy to post a requested recipe.

Emma, I don’t know what to do with your wish that I’d try more meat recipes Since I don’t eat meat, I can think of two choices: (a) I invite lots of friends over to try the food, or (b) You try some new meat recipes yourself and let me know when there’s a good one I should make for friends!

I bought a bunch of frozen fruit this week for smoothies. But I bet it’d make a great fruit sauce for french toast, too…. hmmm. I’ve been wanting to make bread…. and french toast freezes well…. I may have found my solution to wanting to bake bread but not wanting to eat it all in one week!
