Pretty standard Lasagna Soup. Used shaved parmesan instead of grated which I think is better

I made what is becoming our pretty standard mushroom casserole. In fact, I moved the recipe, with it's changes to its own recipe page. The biggest note for today is that I used some crushed red pepper in making the bread crumbs and I liked the additional spice.
I actually prepped the chicken and mushrooms on Sunday and then added the cheese and bread crumbs to finish it today.
Really good as usual!

Meredith made herself Cava Grill inspired lunch bowls which we also had for dinner later in the week. I will come back and update this when I have the details but it is:
and probably other stuff I missed.
Guessing at which recipe she used ↩

I made spiced tomato soup and grilled Philly Melts
I was craving soup and I saw this recipe on /r/Gif recipes for Spiced Tomato Soup (reddit,gtfcat,MOB's site) (LOCAL)
I followed the soup recipe with some changes as noted below (nothing major)
Ingredient Changes:
I was going to blend it in the vitamix so I let it simmer for 10 minutes, then I blended it, and then I let it simmer for a really long time (doing baby stuff and prepping other meals).
My other notes (after blending):
I didn't love it at first but I came to like it as I ate it more. It is pretty flavorful and kind of spicy. I liked the vinegar too. It added a nice bite.
I do not know where we got this idea, but I made philly melts. I used Steak-Ums and made it two slices at a time (12 total for 4 sandwiches). I also used a bit too much oil on the pan with some onions but the end result was not too oily. We used havarti cheese since Meredith doesn't like provolone.
I did let Meredith do the grilling since I tend to burn them (and myself). They weren't as good as I had hoped. I think they needed some more salt in the filling.
Also, I planned three slices per sandwich but it was too much and there was some leftover steak.

Nothing particularly special, but I wanted to note that change from the first time we didn chili potatoes. I diced up Yukon Gold, roasted them at 400 (I think) for about 30 minutes. We liked this more than a whole baked potato.

Part II of holiday biscotti using my dad's recipe. The traditional ones are cherries and pistachios. I went heavy on the cherries since my dad did that for Thanksgiving 2018 and it was well received.
I also tried to make Rocky Road. I do not recall everything I did now since I am writing this nearly a month later, but I used the chocolate variant with walnuts and added marshmallows. The marshmallows sounded like a good idea but in reality, they just melted... Also, despite still using the same amount of oil, they were very hard to cut leaving big, very tough cookies! Maybe I need to cook them longer on the first bake so that they are easier to cut? I really don't know but I am very frustrated with the chocolate varieties this year!

Meredith made use Brussel Sprout hash with bacon (see A and B). It came out pretty good as usual.
