Meredith made Spaghetti Squash Taco Bake [Eating Bird Food]. She prepped it the day before and we reheated it for dinner. She also set aside some of the meat mixture for Caroline since she doesn't like the spaghetti squash.
Served with yogurt and sour cream.

Meredith made Chess Squares from Kevin & Amanda (LOCAL).
Meredith said it was outrageously easy! Almost too easy so she added a tbsp non-fat milk powder to the base and the custard. She also cooked it at 315°F and it still took a long time (55 minutes)
We liked it. It was very sweet

Meredith made Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies [Healthier Together by Liz Moody] staying very true to the recipe.
They were really good. The icing tasted like real cream cheese frosting.
We would do them again!

I made very (very) plain jerky of just ground beef (93/7) and salt. I followed my 2000-2300 rule and used 1 tsp of salt. That actually weight 6 grams (I guess the anti-caking agent?) which agrees with the package. That was 2360 mg of sodium. But in the future, that was too much. It came out salty! Next time I will do 4 grams if I just using salt.
I had recently found my old reddit post where I claimed a wetter starting mix was drier at the end. I decided to test that out. To the whole 1 lbs mix, I added 1 tsp of water (I should have dissolved the salt in it but that would have been too easy!). Then I made half and added another 2 tsp (so that half had the wetness of 5 tsp/lbs). As you can see in my photos, I divided it up.
I rotated the trays every 2 hours or so and stopped it at 7 hours. I honestly couldn’t tell a difference. I guess that is debunked. But the water did make it easier to form so I would do 2-3 tsp (with salt dissolved to make it easier).
They tasted kind of boring but not bad. Super concentrated beef flavor but nothing like New Mexico style!
1tsp salt. Supposed to be 2 grams sodium but 1.5x4 = 6 on the side
1 tsp water on all
2 more tsp on second half (total eq 5)

Meredith made Mexican Street Corn & Quinoa Bowl [Healthier Together by Liz Moody] for her lunch. She followed the recipe in general except:
I only had a bit but I really liked it as did Meredith. I particularly liked the sauciness from the hummus!
We will have these again! And maybe with some beans to bulk it up a bit

Meredith made "5-Minute Apple Crisp from A Beautiful Mess (LOCAL). She followed the recipe except cooked it at 325°F by accident. The lower temperature kind of showed as it was a bit crispy but still very good! We will do these kinds of things again!
