Meredith and I made pie crust from The Kitchn (LOCAL). There isn't too much to say about it other than we had mixed results. We made three batches for
Meredith made two of the batches and I made one. It took a lot more water than expected. I added a total of 11 Tbsp while Meredith did about 8 or 9.
The first usage of them for the hand pies was a bust but we were more successful the next day. See those posts for more.
It was flaky and pretty good. I had extra from the pecan pie and toasted strips of it. It tasted like the top of chicken pot pie (as one would expect)

Meredith and I made roasted gnocchi from The Kitchn (LOCAL). We followed the recipe but went heavy on the peppers (and maybe tomatoes) and added a package of Trader Joes' Spicy Jalapeno sausage. We used roasted garlic powder in place of the garlic. And we used dried rosemary
We also ended up cooking it for closer to 30 minutes to get it to crisp. We also served it with some ricotta.
We both really liked it. The roasted gnocchi had a great texture with a chewy outside and soft inside. The tomatoes gave everything a sauciness. We really enjoyed it!

I made Broccoli Tofu. Nothing too special. Two 12oz bags of broccoli (from Trader Joes) and about 4/5 of Trader Joes Super Firm Tofu (for dinner and lunch)

I made Everything Seasoned Seared Salmon and we had it with BBQ Ranch Salad like we've used before but I think this was a different brand.
We had to quick defrost the salmon which I think kind of messed up the texture (and maybe flavor).

Meredith made Sticky Lemon Rolls from The Kitchn (LOCAL). She followed the recipe except with the notes below.
For some reason, the filling super separated but seemed to be fine when it melted. Also she was extra careful to get to the 190°F (~40 min)
They came out a little dry. Possibly due to the issues getting the filling to come together and then not being able to get as much of the filling to stay in the buns. Next time, I'll try the King Arthur suggestion of 25° higher temp for 5-8 minutes less. And hope that the filling doesn't separate weirdly.

Simple falafel. From the extra batch on 2018-02-06 Meredith made greek yogurt dip with za'atar and roasted garlic powder. Also served with tomatoes and cucumbers.

(Not the prettiest picture). I made banana pudding for a party. I really didn't do anything different than the recipe but, I do want to note that we used very un-ripe bananas and it was not as good. They cooked to be more chewy, and while they still gave off the banana flavor, it was less so.
use [extra] ripe bananas!

Meredith made banana pancakes from this William Sanoma recipe (LOCAL). She added mini chocolate chips and used almond milk
