Well I did indeed have a busy day in the kitchen.
1- I ground my own whole wheat flour (this is new to us – I just purchased a Nutrimill from the Country Baker). It is amazing how much better the freshly ground flour tastes in my homemade bread – which leads to #2
2- Homemade bread in our bread machine
3- Four dozen whole wheat pumpkin ginger muffins
4- Sweet potato puree made from at least 10 lbs. of sweet potatoes – I’m a huge fan of Jessica Seinfeld’s Deceptively Delicious. I freeze the puree in ice cube trays so that adding the puree is very easy and convenient. Two cubes equal approximately 1/4 cup. It is a painless way to add veggies to our meals – which leads to #5
5- A big, big pot of chili for dinner and to freeze – I added carrot and red and green pepper puree. This was a new recipe that I played with a bit and I found that the addition of apple cider vinegar really added a lot of flavor.
Well it was a busy day in the kitchen but a yummy one!!!
Wow! I just love those days (too far and few between) when you are having so much fun in the kitchen that you can’t stop!
I saw Jessica Seinfeld on Oprah and she was promoting her book. What a great idea she has. I’m glad to see you are doing it too. I really should try doing it too. I don’t like that many vegetables so for me–it would be a good idea.
Hope everyone is doing well and hope you are getting warmed up with our nicer weather! Love, Sue
