Thumbprint cookies

 I made these for Christmas over two years ago and I'm finally posting. I really enjoyed them! 

I used homemade peach jam in the middle 😋

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

Chocolate genache cake

I made this recipe because I had a lot of heavy cream to use up.  I liked the frosting,  but not the cake. The cake was a little dense and dry.

Vegan Goulash

 I made this recipe https://www.tastingtable.com/737484/vegetarian-goulash-recipe/

With a few substitutions, of course.  I didn't have diced tomatoes,  so I just used a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes.  Instead of the tempeh, I used some alubia Blanca beans I had in the freezer and a roasted yellow pepper instead of the red pepper. Most everything else was the same. I served it with some instant spaetzle from Aldi. Only I enjoyed anything 😌 but I will say that I prefer the cheese spaetzle better than the mushroom variety.
