Let's Share Recipes/What Are You Making?

I made this soup last week

It was really nice although I did add half teaspoon of paprika powder and half teaspoon of chili powder. We couldnt eat it in 2 portions so we had it for lunch the next day as well...

Cassie, that soup was lovely. I shall make it again.

In other news... We've been invited to an end-of-summer BBQ, for which I've baked Ina Garten's Fresh Peach Cake.

Like others who've commented, I would 1.5 or double the amount of peaches. (I don't really like recipes that use produce sizes rather than weights, but oh, well.)

I'm going to make this macaroni dish soon: reallifegoodfood.umn.edu/cook/easy-macaroni-goulash

I may not use all the ingredients, but it'll be close to the photo that's shown. My grandma used to make it, and then Mum did, and I do! I stopped for a while because the boys weren't eating casseroles or any one-dish meals, but when I tried this last so I could enjoy it, the boys did as well.

I may get the beef ready ahead of time because it wasn't defrosted for yesterday to make burgers. (Then I got lazy and opted for frozen pizza.) Now I need to use up that beef, but once it's cooked, I've got options about when to combine it with the pasta.

Anyway, I'm now looking forward to gooey cheese and pasta!

Yes! There are many different varieties of Hamburger Helper, but I think the goulash is tastier and you also get to determine the seasoning yourself.

Easy enough, I will make it in the next few days.

I've made pork meataballs with pasta on Wednesday.

On Thursday I made chicken in a mushroom sauce with pasta.

Friday - today - I am preparing mussels in a white wine and tomato sauce with bread rolls.

Saturday I will be making a Chinese feast: chicken stir-fry, dumplings, spring rolls, prawn crackers and noodles.

I keep busy!

That looks good!  I'll have to give it a try.  Thanks for sharing.

I tried that. It is delicious. 

I made Yorkshire Puddings:

1. Mix one egg in 5fl.oz of milk
2. Sift 75grams of plain flour into a glass bowl
3. Incorporate milk & egg mixture into the flour
4. Grease a tin with oil
5. Pour mixture into each cup of the tin
6. Put in the oven for 20 minutes or less

There you go!

The Perfect Cold Hard Boiled Egg
1. Put the egg on the worktop and spin it. This puts the yolk in the centre
2. Boil the water without the eggs
3. When the water boils add the eggs
4. Leave boiling until the eggs rattle in the pan, and turn off heat
5. Leave eggs in the boiling water to cool
6. When cool leave in fridge over night
7. Before removing the shell, tap the blunt end of the egg. This is usually empty so the egg will not be damaged by peeling
8. Remove the rest of the shell and cut longitudinally into four quarters, and add salt to taste

Rice and spicy sausage today and tomorrow Im trying sprouts and sweet potato with fried goat cheese..

Not making it any time soon, and never had it... would be interested in trying it one day, but sharing it in case anyone would like to try it, too!

I made peanut butter cookies , I dont know what happened, they were a bit too crumbly even though I followed the recipe exactly.
All was not lost, I broke them and made a sort of pudding with them as a biscuit base.. Yum..

I may hafta make this but with different toppings and NO hot honey.
