Meredith made Peach-Compote Dessert Cups [Martha Stewart] for dessert since we had a ton of leftover peaches. She halved it. The marscapone was hard to mix in so Meredith used the mixer. That seemed to only deflate it a little bit.
Not the prettiest but very tasty!

We made the Aloo Gobi Traybake [Cook Republic]. I don't think we made any major changes except that we probably went heavy on all of the veggies.
It was really good. The whole house smelled like Indian food and it was great!

Meredith made a dinner of Cook Republic (LOCAL) and Saffron Tomato Confit from What's Gabby Cooking (LOCAL).
For the salad, I think Meredith followed the recipe pretty closely. It was a lot of chopping but was pretty good. We topped it with some Indian snack blend rather than peanuts. I think we could use the food processor (carefully) to do some of the chopping next time!
Also worth noting that all of the tomatoes, cucumber, and mint came from the garden.
Meredith also followed the recipe for the tomato confit but the temps were really too high. It all should have been set to low. We served it with marinated mozzarella balls to be kind of like bruschetta.
We served both on roasted eggplant which we've done before (I think 2012-01-21 was the first)

Meredith made Greek Nachos. The ideas was inspired by Better Homes and Gardens but she kind of just did her own thing.
It was:
It was really good and pretty easy. Also a fun new thing

Croque Monsieur [Bon Appétit]. Meredith accidentally doubled the flour so it was thick but still very, very tasty!

We bought too much potato and needed to use them up so Meredith made baked potato salad.
Tossed 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes with some penzeys ranch powder. Roasted them for about 30 min at 425.
Let cool then used the notes from previous time to make loaded baked potato salad.

We made food to bring to the Pettit's for dinner.
For the kugel, I called my Baba and got her recipe and then also combined it with a few others. It is Mom's (Joan) Salt and Pepper Kugel. I used 1 stick of butter which was delicious but it probably could have been less. I also skipped the optional stuff. I cooked it at 365°F for about an hour. The noodles on top got really crunchy which everyone else loved, though I would have preferred them a tad softer. This was super easy though!
Meredith made Crunchy Thai Style Cabbage Salad from Cook Republic (LOCAL). She followed the recipe. It was okay. Honestly, we thought it was very similar to Asian-ish Shredded Chicken Salad / "Redemption Salad" [Dinner: A Love Story] but not as good and we would have preferred that!

Meredith made Mini (Crescent) Quiche Recipe [A Beautiful Mess] again.
I just wanted to note some of Meredith's changes like last time
Added to the recipe: 1 tsp kosher salt per batch seems about right
For today (and maybe last time too?): 1/8 tsp coriander, sprinkle of white pepper, and finely chopped chives from the garden. Probably about 2 tbsp of chives once chopped.
