Tteobokki

 I made this in the instant pot.  I liked the flavor,  but it took quite a while to cook off the liquid.  Will use less water next time.

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.

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

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

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:

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.
