Meredith made Hawaiian rolls, almost on a whim. They were for the BBQ Jackfruit
She used the recipe from The Perfect Egg. She followed the recipe closely but adjusted the flour down a bit by feel as the dough came together. And she did it all by hand! It was a half batch
They were really good and made for a nice and fun addition to dinner.
We calculated about 210 calories per roll.

We made Tofu Satay. I do not know what was up today but so many of the tofus fell off the skewer. Some were recovered and others were lost to the grill. I don't know if maybe I cut it poorly or what?
Meredith tried using apple cider vinegar instead of distilled. I couldn't tell the difference but Meredith said it wasn't as good.
Also, instead of the normal relish, Meredith made Smacked Cucumbers. Didn't really "go" with the dish but we preferred it

Meredith made Blueberry "Donuts" using the Matcha Glazed Donuts "from Tone it Up (LOCAL). She subbed coconut flour for the oat and added about 1/4 cup of dried blueberries.
A little dry, but pretty tasty otherwise. I hear the dryness is a common issue with protein powder baked goods. May mean I over baked a little.

Part Two of Father's Day meals. See Part One
The chicken wings were from Kellers but they were really small. I asked for more because of the size and they were still, overall, less weight than usual (and more bone-to-chicken ratio). I was not thrilled with them!
But anyway, I did my normal dry brine but then I tried to grill them. I had some trouble with the grill temperatures. Potentially because my wood burned, not smoked (see the picture). That combined with the small size meant that some were overcooked and a bit dry.
I am absolutely not opposed to trying the grill again but with larger ones. And the oven is still a lot easier (especially since I couldn't taste any smoke flavor).
I also made Juicy Lucy Burgers. A Juicy Lucy is a Minnesota classic with cheese inside the patty. We used the recipe from Lunds and Byerlys (LOCAL), a high-end grocery store there. We used 1.5 lbs of turkey instead of 2 lbs of beef. And WAY less cheese. Maybe we needed more since some melted out but they call for a ridiculous amount. I don't even know how to get four ounces on cheese on a burger. And they make 16 pieces for 8 x 4oz burgers. We did 8 for 4 x 6oz burgers and would have had trouble fitting them.
We did like the flavor though. We would try Worcestershire and garlic powder again for turkey patties!
Like I said, some juicy leaked out of the lucy but it was still good.

recipe from Kind of Healthy Recipes (LOCAL)

This was part one (of two) of Father's Day meals. We had a "Meredith Meal" type lunch but Meredith special ordered bresaola for me (along with Spanish Chorizo).
I may be missing something but we had:
Meredith also made Focaccia from The Kitchn (LOCAL). I think she followed the recipe pretty closely. She prepped it the day before, let it rose, then left it in the fridge. She let it rise and come to temperate for a few hours this morning. This was with half the dough. She froze the other half.

Meredith prepped chicken tawook from What's Gaby Cooking (LOCAL) and then I skewered and grilled them. I used the big skewers which I like a lot except that they are hard to turn and lay flat on the other side. So only one part was really in contact with the grill. Meredith used non-fat greek yogurt for the marinade.
I basted them a few times before stopping so it could fully cook the basting.
The chicken was really good. It had a lot of flavor with a good bite. We will do these again!
Meredith also prepped Miso Marinated Portobello Carpaccio. We skipped the step about removing some marinade so they were really sweet but also very good! (though Caroline was not into it).
