Meredith made Vegan Ceviche as a side for dinner (just fish sticks). Only chance was to not use chile pepper in case Caroline has some.

Meredith didn't feel like having pancakes so instead she made a Sheet Pan Pancake. She used the recipe from Krusteaz (LOCAL). She halved the recipe and used almond extract, lemon zest, and some blueberries.
I also cooked some bacon in the microwave.

I made my dad's traditional passover Matzo (Matzoh) Ball Soup but less traditional.
For the soup, I added 3 carrots, 3 celery stalks and one whole onion to boiling water. For the onion, you cut off the top leaving the root intact and peel. This holds it together until the whole thing dissolves.
Anyway, I used Better than Bouillon and simmered it for about 10 hours (total). I was constantly playing though. I struggled to keep the simmer. It would either be too low or nearly rolling boil. Still, I tried my best. I also had to keep adding water as I went. I was going by taste to see how much Bouillon and how much water should be in there.
I also made a double batch of Knaidlach adding a handful of parsley (finely chopped) and a scant tsp of nutmeg. That at in the fridge for about 8.5 hours. I did use real butter (making it really not kosher)
I turned up the heat and individually formed each knaidlach then dropped them into a roll of the rolling boil. Once they were all in, I covered it and brought it back to a simmer (this time, erring on the side of too hot, not too cold). I let it cook for 1.5 hours, covered. It made about 20 medium-sized knaidlach.
It was really good. The onion all but dissolved. The carrots held on as did some celery. Caroline even really liked the cooled broth!

Meredith made her new favorite meal: Creamy Mushroom Pasta. This time she actually used double the mushrooms. And used 1/2 cup cream and 1/4 cup whole milk to slightly lighten it.
This time we also did grilled shrimp for protein.
I did the shrimp like I like to do chicken on the grill. I brush it with oil first and then season it. I McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning. I grilled it for about 3 minutes per side. They came out pretty good!

Meredith made Christmas Ham Sandwiches using leftover ham from Easter. She halved the recipe since she only bought one pack of rolls and only let it sit for a few hours. Still, the were very good! Using the leftover ham worked well enough. Cutting it was a bit harder and it pulled some ham from the neighboring sandwiches but not a major issue.

Recipe from Serious Eats (LOCAL). Used golden syrup instead of barley malt syrup, since I had that from making Anzac biscuits. Also, did a mix of 1/2 walnut, 1/2 pecan for the nuts. For the chocolate, I used up some dark chocolate chunks, then added semi-sweet chocolate chips (regular and mini size) to make up the rest. I chopped all the chocolate focusing on the chunks because they were pretty nice sized chunks.
The cookies were certainly good. Not the “revelation” we hoped for but very good!

Meredith made Hot Dish. We bought the beef last week and Meredith made the beef mixture a few days before making the rest (this note was added to the recipe). She made the soup a different day and split it into two serving dishes as seen above.
We got about 3.5 servings (two rows of tater tots) out of the small one and froze the larger one.
We used Walmart brand tater tots. They were fine but we think our favorite is Sprouts.
