Almond pear tart

 I really liked this tart, and it was the first time I made frangipane

Butter bean stew

 Made this for the teachers at Parent teacher conferences.  It used up some white limas. A couple people said it was good,  so I guess it was a hit 🤷

Golden Milk powder

 https://minimalistbaker.com/4-ingredient-golden-milk-mix/#wprm-recipe-container-36777

I've wanted to try golden milk for a while now.  The first week,  I mixed it with coconut milk, So Delicious, I think it was sweetened,  from a box. The second week I tried both almond milk and yogurt. I prefer the coconut milk so far and also cold or on ice.  I tried it hot, but prefer it cold.


I like to quadruple the recipe and store it in a 12 oz jam jar

112 g ground turmeric

16 g ground ginger (plus more to taste)

16 g ground cinnamon (plus more to taste)

8 g ground black pepper (plus more to taste)

ADD-INS (optional)

1 g ground nutmeg

1 g ground cloves


Zucchini cake with cream cheese frosting

It was a little dense,  but this was really good.  I vegaized the cake part with flax egg and applesauce, I think.  Maybe it was almond milk.

 The frosting recipe called for a whole package of cream cheese,  and it was a bit much,  so I'd reduce that the next time. 

Thai Red Curry Recipe

This is pretty good.  I used a red curry paste I found at the Asian Market.  Will have to find it again!

Authentic Falafel

This recipe was great!  I was a bit skeptical about using uncooked chickpeas but it worked out.  I forgot the baking soda in the soaking water and I ended up using 2 eggs and some chickpea flour to get everything to stick together better. Otherwise I followed the recipe and was able to use herbs from the garden.  Probably the last time before everything freezes. 

I also used the tahini sauce recipe on the same site.

Sesame Broccoli and tofu

 I wanted to use up some broccoli that E got.  I found a recipe from Bon Appétit.  https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/sesame-tofu-with-broccoli


Not sure what about the sauce, but I wasn't a huge fan.  Maybe it was too sweet,  and maybe a little too much ginger.  I won't be making it again.
