I made donburu after Meredith had it at a restaurant last weekend. Here is a
photo of hers(full-size) for reference and ours was much less pretty, and not as good. But ours was still not too bad.
I made a marinade with about:
I marinated cubed chicken for about 3 days (too long, more on that later).
For the stir-fry itself, I made a big batch of brown rice (used the same from Kimchi Fried rice with 2 cups of rice. And saved 2 additional servings). To that, I stir-fried a bag of cauliflower rice. I set that aside and stir-fried a thing of sugar-snap peas and broccolini. Finally, I took that off and stir-fried (well, really steamed) the chicken with the marinade.
When that was done, I combined it all with more marinade made with the same basic proportions, just a little bit more of everything. Except we ran out of soy sauce so I used coconut aminos.
It was good enough. The chicken marinated for way too long and basically came out cured! A bit odd. And the flavor itself was fine, but could have been less salty. I will look up a few more recipes for next time.

Meredith made banana bread from Joy The Baker via Cup of Jo (LOCAL). I think she only made very minor changes to the recipe. It came out pretty good! I liked all of the nuts inside.
Her changes were mostly to up the temperature by 25°F and bake for either 1:05 or 1:10.
(not sure if it's our oven or the altitude, but it always seems like things need longer in the oven here)

Another week, another new way to try Koeftas. Pretty straight forward this time. I did the full normal recipe but made it into meatballs. I baked them at 375°F for 15ish minutes. I liked it this way a lot. They are still not as good as truly grilled, but I think I liked it more than "tacos". They were a bit dry which could have been from the turkey too.
I also made harissa and we served it with Trader Joes Eggplant Hummus

Meredith made Smokey Egg Salad with the same idea as last time. The only real difference is she also added a tiny bit of mayo to smooth it and give some tang (I liked the addition).
Also, not pictured, she made the new recipe for pimento cheese again from Foster's Market except instead of parmesan, she used Trader Joes Unexpected Cheddar which has a parm bite to it.
(pictured is also a leftover hot dog)

The original plan was to grill hotdogs and eggplant but timing and weather didn’t work in our favor.
I did the hotdogs in a sauté pan with some pam. I then stir-fried the eggplant cubed and then use Soyaki. It was pretty good though maybe a bit mushy.

We again went to the Corrales Growers' Market and got really good bread and tomatoes so we decided to do BLTs again.
We also had another bag of the BBQ Ranch salad.

We were going to make Koeftas but decided to do tacos instead since they are easier. We also had it with the Dole BBQ Ranch salad bags we like.

Meredith made Pantry Peach Cobbler from Southern Kitchen (LOCAL). She followed the recipe pretty closely excepted it needed more time in the oven than we would have expected.
We liked it enough though you could tell it was canned peaches. And while it was good, it was certainly not the best cobbler. Great for a pantry type dish though,
