Idle hands and all that stuff ...

When the move didn't finish today I went to the grocery and picked up a few things...and then came home and starting the crockpot going -- includes fresh: potato, carrots, onion, mushroom, about 2 lbs of chicken tenders, along with leftover broccoli and water, a little chicken broth, some dry soup veggies, and canned diced tomato with green chili. Probably won't be done in time for our evening meal today, but it will be great to have on hand.

But that wasn't enough, I guess. Now the chocolate chip cookies are baking.

What's cooking that smells good at your house?

Two casseroles.

One with chicken mince, 1/2 a red capsicum (which I think you might call a red pepper), celery, carrots, ginger, onions, sesame seeds and Yackandandah honey soy simmer sauce.

I will serve this with rice.

The other with chicken mince, chopped tinned tomatoes, Italian herbs, zucchini, onion, garlic, celery, balsamic vinegar, sugar and the other half of the red capsicum.

I will serve this with crusty bread (gluten free, as is everything I'm cooking here, rdmasters, my husband is a coeliac) or with buckwheat noodles or similar.

Both smell absolutely wonderful.

I made parsnips and fennel (separate sides).

It was a cold, snowy night so we made beans and franks, with Boston Baked Beans, of course. Smelled great, tasted better! :)

Potatos and grilled onions. Made Latkes yesterday. A great comfort food I have to make myself since every restaurant in my area uses bacon which is just wrong in so many ways.

Dinner tonight was boring - California Pizza Kitchen Chicken Pesto pizza w/ blackberries and whipped cream for dessert, a local hard cider for beverage.

I don't know what supper is going to be - probably more boring.

Dinner tomorrow will be better - lamb stew meat curry, with Normandy Blend veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots & summer squash). I may get ambitious and also make coconut rice pudding (short or medium grain rice, coconut milk, milk and sugar - hmm, I wonder if I have enough milk?).

Snickerdoodles last night. Made a new peanut butter oatmeal raisin chip recipe that came out stunningly well on Saturday, though. I has a new gluten-free cookie book (okay I got it last Christmas, but still new!) and the recipes are wonderful! Looking forward to trying to make gluten-free spritz before Christmas!

Nothing cooking today, but on Saturday I'll be baking a chocolate Yule Log cake, with brandied whipped cream filling and cooked fudge icing.
