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!

Meredith made Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding from From my Bowl (LOCAL). It was certainly less blue than the original!

Meredith made Guacamole Quinoa Salad inspired by Tone it Up. She used frozen roasted corn and yellow squash.
She added Fritos to hers and I added whisps to mine for crunch.
it was pretty good! Using salsa as a dressing works really well too!

I decided to try to make Horchata Bites like 2013-07-04 but ended up with something more like "Horchata Cake" using leftovers from 2021-05-03
I was just winging it but this is what I ended up with.
I mixed it all together really well and then baked it. I originally did it for 15 minutes but checking the temp told me it wasn't done. I ended up going for another 15 (total 30min) with a final temp around 192°F.
The dough had a very stretchy and sticky.
It tasted pretty good. I wouldn't say it was amazing or the best thing ever but it had a nice flavor and a nice texture. I don't know what I would do to make it tastier though.
