Roasted Cauliflower

I was looking for a vegetable side dish to serve with lasagna and I had some cauliflower. I made this roasted cauliflower. Which you probably don't really need a recipe for, but it was really good! I'll definitley make it again, despite groans from the rest of the family.

Cheesy "hasselback" potatoes

I was craving scalloped potatoes and I've never made hasselback potatoes. I found this recipe and thought it was perfect.
Despite the fact that this dish took an hour and a half, I was happy how it turned out.

Beer Cheese Potato Soup

I used this slow cooker recipe for beer cheese potato soup recipe in the instant pot. It turned out pretty good, but I needed to reduce the broth/water liquid to two or 1.5 cups.

Cinnamon buns!

I have this recipe on an actual sheet of paper, but want to put it here too. King Arthur Flour's Cinna-Buns are very good! Probably not good for you, but that's another story. They also take quite a while, so I'm going to have to figure out how to make some parts ahead of time.

Skillet Cornbread and Black Bean Sweet Potato Chili

A bunch of people in my Facebook dinner group made skillet cornbread, so I thought I'd try and get away from the recipe from the Aunt Jemima Cornmeal box that I've been using forever. First I tried this recipe from Chowhound a few times. Then, I couldn't remember which recipe I used and couldn't find it during a google search last night. So I tried an Allrecipes recipe. I think I prefer the Chowhound recipe, though I probably don't need quite so much butter as it calls for!

We usually have it with chili, and last night was black bean and sweet potato. I thought it came out pretty good. It wasn't spicy but probably could have used a bit of a kick. I looked up a recipe a few days ago but didn't have it on hand when actually making it. I just went with what I sorta remembered and what was on hand.
1/2-3/4 onion
3 garlic cloves
On sauté in the instant pot
After theses were done, I should have fried the spies a bit, but didn't think ahead this time.
About 2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-2 tablespoons salt
I added everything else then put the IP on chili mode for 10 minutes.
3 carrots diced
2 stalks celery diced
About 1 red pepper diced
1 sweet potato diced
A little more than 2 cups cooked black beans
28oz can diced tomatoes
About 1/2 the can worth of water
2 tablespoons tomato paste

I also threw in a couple cilantro cubes I had in the freezer, not sure if they made any difference.

It took quite a while to come to pressure, and the sweet potatoes were quite soft, so maybe could have been cooked a minute or two less. I did a quick release.

Black bean and Spinach Enchiladas

The next thing I have been craving is enchiladas! I wish I had done a little more prep last night. Making the sauce and filling ahead of time would have helped get dinner on the table a little earlier tonight. The last enchilada sauce I made was a bit too spicy for Leela, so I looked for something different. I found this sauce recipe and I think it's a keeper. It could probably also be made in the IP, but I did it on the stovetop today. Instead of the salsa, I chopped 1-1/2 tomatoes I bought for something else I hadn't made yet and didn't want them to go bad. I also used way less chili powder than the recipe called for, 1/2 teaspoon.
I also followed this recipe for spinach and black bean enchiladas. I didn't use the sauce portion, obviously, skipped the jalapeño, added cheese inside and sprinkled on top, and used flour tortillas. I really liked how they turned out! Everyone else seemed to like them too.

Jamaican Jerk Trout

We tried out a new recipe today that I thought turned out really well. Jamaican Jerk Trout that E found online. I could have used a little more heat, but the flavor was great. We also thought that not having the skin on was better. So next time, no skin and maybe Cayenne pepper or scotch bonnet peppers if we can find them.
