Breakfast this morning: Sweet Potato, Apple and Sausage Hash, with Fried Eggs! Really easy, really yummy, really filling. And even though it was my delicious breakfast this morning, the hash (minus the fried eggs) would also make a really good side-dish for Thanksgiving. Double duty, or something. 🙂
Breakfast on the go with these *handy* Gravenstein Apple Turnovers. OK, they don’t have to be Gravenstein Apples, any baking apple will do, but I went apple pickin’ recently and picked this type. Convenient breakfast if you’re headed out of the house (not that I personally do that much these days, but you know… if real life were actually real life these days). Very easy and straight forward as it uses store-bought puff pastry.
I’m never sure when something is a “chowder” or when it has become a “stew”. I suspect that it is actually a bit arbitrary, so while I would normally call this a chowder, I’m going with stew this time. Loaded with salmon, jumbo shrimp, lots (!!!) of Maine lobster, plus potatoes, carrots and peas. Yeah, the peas are a little out of the ordinary. Because as Sunday dinner as the temperature begins to cool in Autumn!
I had intended to make rugulach. But then last night, just before I rolled up the rolls here, I found myself uninspired and frankly, a bit lazy. And I couldn’t find my ruler — and if you know me, I can’t cut a straight line if I tried. So, instead, I rolled the rugulach dough into logs, with the jam spread in the inside, and baked these Spiced Peach Swirl Cookies up this morning. Turned out it was a pretty nice compromise.
Lunch! I don’t normally show off my lunch — heck, most of the time, I skip lunch altogether — but today, for the CSPS Cook/Bake-a-Long Seafood Week, I made these awesome Open-face Crabmeat Melts with a fresh tomato from my garden (the only really big tomato that really did well, though I did grow hundreds of cherry tomatoes). The crabmeat was from Maine, but any fresh crabmeat will do. Now I ate too much and could really use a nap! 🙂
