Cheddar and Nettle biscuits

 https://seasoned.com/blog/2021/07/cheddar-nettle-scones

These are pretty good, but I would definitely add more salt to the dough. I used King Arthur GF 1:1 Flour in place of the regular flour.

Chive blossom vinegar

 https://leitesculinaria.com/80938/recipes-chive-blossom-vinegar.html#wprm-recipe-container-368591

I made this and it was great. It was wonderful to make some salad dressing with this!!

And it was so pretty pink/purple color.

Peach Salsa

Made as described, but I only had half a lime and dried coriander and added some corn.

Serviceberry fruit leather

 I made fruit leather with this recipe 

https://foragerchef.com/serviceberry-maple-leather/#recipe

Wasn't a fan of the seeds, so I tried using the food mill. That turned out to be more work than it was worth. 

Pumpkin pie Smoothie

Good to use up some frozen pumpkin 

Will try to add some hemp seeds next time 

GF strawberry rhubarb crisp

 I made this on Leela's request. I used a 9x13 pan and added more strawberry and rhubarb. I probably should have added more topping, but overall, Leela and I enjoyed it.

GF Rabarbrakake

 I made this rhubarb cake using Bob's Red Mill 1:1 flour. I really liked it because it wasn't too sweet

Potato Waffles

 I made this for dinner when everyone else was having regular flour waffles.

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/220890/potato-waffles/

I used chives in place of onions, garlic powder instead of fresh, and arrowroot flour instead of wheat.

I think they turned out great!

Zucchini cake with cream cheese frosting

 https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/zucchini-cake-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. 

Authentic Falafel

 https://www.themediterraneandish.com/how-to-make-falafel/#tasty-recipes-10436-jump-target

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.

2023 peach round up

 Peach cobbler 

https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/fresh-peach-cobbler/

This was good,  but the topping was a little thick and doughy.

Rhubarb muffins

 I wanted to use up the rhubarb mash I had from making the rhubarb syrup earlier last week. We had some spoiled milk,  so I used that too.

I used this recipe https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/150141/aunt-normas-rhubarb-muffins/

It wasn't too sweet, so I might need a little more sugar or honey. 

Creamy Zucchini Pasta

 A friend on Instagram posted this recipe,  so I tried it.

https://themodernproper.com/creamy-zucchini-pasta

I really liked this,  but the rest of the family didn't,  sadly 

Strawberry rhubarb crisp

This is great and two thumbs up from the rest of the family.

More baking

 Bread machine recipes 

Cinnamon swirl bread-I was so happy how this turned out.  Just had the Cinnamon and baked in a loaf pan in the oven.  This was great as toast and on its own in the first couple days. 

https://saladinajar.com/recipes/bread-machine-cinnamon-raisin-bread/

No-Fuss Focaccia, made in the bread machine.  Stopped the dough cycle early and transformed into the 9x13 pan. Topped with pizza seasoning and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.  They burned a bit,  so next time I will try to mix into the dough better.

Lemon poppyseed muffins- made these without the glaze and they weren't too sweet. R called them salty and I can taste all the baking powder,  so I'm going to call these a bust.

Garden Eggplant

 I like eggplant,  but I probably won't grow in the garden again,  unless I try a smaller Asian variety vs an Italian variety. 

I made this Mediterranean dish with what I picked before the frost 

https://www.themediterraneandish.com/braised-eggplant-recipe-greek-style

it sort of ended up all mushy. I won't make it again. 

More zucchini

I planted more zucchini than we could use again.  In addition to some of the same hits from last summer, here's what I tried making this summer 

Chocolate zucchini loaf cake

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023356-chocolate-zucchini-loaf-cake?smid=ck-recipe-android-share

I wasn't a huge fan and neither were the kids. Folks at work liked it though!

Zucchini cake with ginger and hazelnut 

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/9661-zucchini-cake-with-ginger-and-hazelnuts?smid=ck-recipe-android-share

I really liked this cake/quick bread. The first time I made it, I vegaized it by using a combination of ground flax and chia seeds and a frozen banana.  I also didn't have hazelnuts so used walnuts instead.  The second time i made it i followed the recipe more closely. I think I liked the first version better.  Perhaps I will chop the hazelnut smaller next time.  

I made this cake too,but it wasn't what I wanted  (zucchini spice cake)

Peach abundance!

Our peach tree exploded with fruit this year.  I made as much as I could with the fruit, including canning and freezing it.  Here are some of what I made:

Peach cobblerhttps://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/peach-cobbler/#recipe

Canned peaches https://www.sustainablecooks.com/canning-peaches/#recipe

Peach cake https://www.elephantasticvegan.com/vegan-peach-crumb-cake/

I used some vegan butter that was a little rancid, so this probably could have been better ,but the vegans liked it.
