Recent Cooking Fun

Some recipes we tried in the past months...

Sometimes the need to bake hits our daughter. Often, we just grab a mix and make some Betty Crocker brownies. As a change up, we made homemade pretzels from scratch. Making the dough was the easiest part. The rest of the process was more involved.

Shaping the dough

Soaking in water, just like a bagel!

The pretzels were yummy.

For my wife's book club, they read The Taste of Country Cooking and she made some special soup as part of dinner. The soup had a secret ingredient...

Pretty standard looking right now

Secret ingredient too horrible to be in focus!

Secret ingredient revealed--chicken feet!

We bought a cheese-making kit and made some ricotta that required patience and careful thermometer watching.

Stirring and temperature check

A happy cook
