Meredith made Cauliflower Mac and Cheese and I made wings.
For the mac and cheese, she used lots of cauliflower. There was more than pasta!. She also used only 1 tbsp of sriracha to keep the spice down for Caroline.
The wings were buffalo flavor. I thought I was adding Franks Red Hot to butter but apparently it was already Buffalo Wings Sauce so they were extra buttery. Not bad for sure. The skin wasn't as crispy as I like it though still very good. I want to explore more wing sauce ideas!

Meredith made the same Sweet Potato Chile as last week and we served it on a bed of tater tots. We also topped it with white onion, green onion, avocado, cheese, and greek yogurt.
It was really good and worked well

I made Sous Vide Filet Mingon. I did it at 137.5° for about 3.5 hours. I again seared it on the baking steel like last time. I did it with some dried rosemary (it was snowing and not worth getting it fresh), some salt, pepper, and a bit of garlic powder. Before searing, I coated them with canola oil and then topped it with some butter after flipping.
Meredith made her favorite green beans. More salt than we adjusted the recipe for. I think we're realizing you still need the salt!
As usual, I served it with the liquid so Caroline could dip it if she wanted.
The bread was a sliced focaccia from Trader Joes.

I made African Peanut Soup. I followed the recipe pretty closely including the turmeric. However, in the future, we will reduce this down as it was a bit too strong.
But otherwise, we really liked the soup as usual. I maybe went heavy on some of the vinegars and glutamate sources to try to bring the flavor up.
We served it with spinach instead of collards. That worked fine!

Meredith made sweet potato chili based largely on Black Bean Sweet Potato Chili from What's Gabby Cooking (LOCAL)
She used smoked paprika for chipotle since worried about spice levels. Also used white onion instead of red and pinto beans instead of black beans.
We all liked it enough. Even Caroline ate it!

Roasted Gnocchi. Used a different sausage from Costco. We liked this one (will note it later)

Meredith made a Pumpkin Cake with Brown Butter Frosting. The cake was the same pumpkin cake we used in 2017.
The brown butter buttercream came from Two Sisters Crafting (LOCAL). Meredith's notes:
The topping was done with some homemade stencils she did using the Cricut
It was really good and we really liked the brown butter frosting. The cake when eaten alone was also very good though it didn't stand up very well to the frosting. Meredith may use this frosting for something like a chocolate cake that can stand up better.
