We are trying to loose weight so have made many things with ground turkey. Yesterday it was Shepard's pie with a cauliflour mashed potato top and fresh green beans. Today it's pizza with turkey pepperoni, canned tomatoes and low fat cheese.

I took a trip back to my childhood and made one of my favorite meals sloppy Joe’s.

I’ve been making the recipes in the Daily Sun. Really liked the chicken with roasted lemons and capers. It takes time ...well worth it.

What have you made while stuck inside (my golf buddies flew the coop back to Canada). Something new? Something you made up (looking at you, Tomwed!)? Something you've made before but didn't have the time till now...?


I'd enjoy hearing about it.
Saw a video on how to make one bowl LEMON BROWNIES. I had to try it. Easy and delicious and best of all, I only dirtied one bowl!

I'm a challah baker too. A couple weeks ago I made 3 enormous loaves. It's a 4+ hour recipe because it has to rise three times before baking. 5 eggs, 4 cups flour, no bread machine, and I don't own a mixer so it's all done in a big bowl with a wooden spoon, and I knead with my hands on a huge bamboo cutting board, old-style. I leave it on the screened lanai with a moist hot towel covering it to rise.

I've made banana breaad, tollhouse cookies, shrimp scampi, meatloaf, meatballs and sauce over penne, chicken salad. Same as usual.

Trying to make some crock pot chili recipes and trying different cornbread recipes. I never tried grinding up some older popping corn for my cornmeal but it worked out just fine when the store shelves were bare!

Really digging the different pizza dough recipes found online! Pizzas, calzones and focaccia have never been easier and more tasteful than in my kitchen!

Also various types of homemade breads and muffins.

Red beans and rice with smoked sausage.

Cheese grits with shrimp!
Yummm! You are making me hungry!

The best lamb shanks I have found were purchased at the Polish Deli in Leesburg. Excellent quality

And Bon Appétit's Test Kitchen has many videos on you tube. They are all young, interesting, funny cooks. Also one of them, Claire Saffitz, does a video series called Gourmet Makes, where she recreates packaged products from scratch--like M&Ms, girl scout cookies, snickers bars, Pringles, skittles; mostly junk food, but very fun to watch.

I'd enjoy hearing about it.
Its easy so far 50 days Lasagna, Brisket, Home made Pastrami, over a gallon of pasta gravy with and without meat. Meatloaf, eggplant parm, meatballs, Manicotti, clam chowder, beef stew, pork roast, beef roast steaks
Unfortunately we have gotten so good at cooking we may never go to another restaurant for quite awhile, made the way We likeit.
Prep time is usually less than an hour the stove oven and grill do the work.

I would reply, but I'm a Chef, not a Cook.
