After making a different recipe for at least 15 times, the family informed me that they didn't like it. So I searched for a new one.
I found this one and used cheddar, asaiago, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese with a small chunk of cream cheese. I thought it came out great and the rest of the family liked it too.

We finally found the right pizza crust recipe. We put the ingredients into the bread machine on dough mode and it's ready a couple hours later, so we do need to plan ahead. One recipe makes two pizzas that fit on our 15" round pizza stone.

With this dough recipe, at one point I was missing Somerville and Flatbread pizza, so I made this as one of our favorites from there.

One day we had some extra dough, so we tried making dessert pizza. It tastes like Godfathers cinnamon streusel pizza!

This year, I was a little better about picking the cherry tomatoes and I needed a way to preserve them. I found a couple recipes that were pretty similar and I used them both. Now in dec, all our frozen tomatoes have been used up already š©

I also grew jalapeƱos. Someone in my dinner group said she really enjoyed pickled jalapeƱos, so I found this recipe and both E and I have really enjoyed them. Probably not the best thing to do, but I have some frozen jalapeƱos that I slice up and add to the jar when there’s room.

Here’s a list of things I have baked recently...
We got another box of peaches and I made peach pie, cobbler and crisp. I much preferred the crisp. I think I probably need to up my pie crust game.

For some reason, I can’t find the pie recipe, but no loss, because I would not want to make it again.
Fall apples and cider mean apple cider donuts-https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019593-baked-apple-cider-doughnuts
Another bread maker recipe, this time for cottage bread - https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=731136
Coffee cake, I it may have been user error, but I thought the layers were too separate and the sweet was only concentrated in the streusel part- https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/cinnamon-streusel-coffeecake-recipe
The kids saw something on Daniel Tiger that was made. I tracked down a recipe and made some. They seem to be fairly healthy and they tasted that way too. I wouldn’t mind making it again for the kids. https://www.pbs.org/parents/recipes/mozie-mazing-cookies
This is a great framework for making muesli https://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/cooking-tips/article/how-to-make-muesli-cereal
This isn’t baking, but definitely a treat. I tried this ice cream recipe and it was very rich. The kids didn’t like it at all.p, but I enjoyed it. I won’t make it again tho https://livinghealthywithchocolate.com/desserts/paleo-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream-2073/#wprm-recipe-container-9423
I followed this recipe from Smitten kitchen (https://smittenkitchen.com/2017/03/punjabi-style-black-lentil-dal/ ) when trying to make a Dal makhani, this was before my recipe find after Diwali. I thought it was ok, but I liked the second iteration/other recipe better.
My first attempt at aloo mattar was with this recipe, https://pipingpotcurry.com/instant-pot-aloo-matar. I thought it was ok, but I also preferred my second attempt better.
I don’t think I needed it for either recipe, but something I made called for curry powder I didn’t have, so I used this recipe to whip some up- https://minimalistbaker.com/diy-curry-powder/
In another, this is probably not worth writing a recipe, but it was what I found when trying to find something to make with the potatoes E grew (they are small). I found this recipe for roasting potatoes in butter (https://www.eatwell101.com/roasted-garlic-butter-parmesan-potatoes-recipe). E liked it and so did I.
