I made oven-fried wings and African Peanut Soup for dinner.
I defrosted the wings last week and prepped them on Saturday (so they had a long drying time). I think I baked them a little too long but they were otherwise very good. The sauce was 1 Tbsp of butter with Sweet Baby Rays and some chili oil. The chili oil gave it a bit of heat but it mostly lingered on the lips. I would just used crushed red pepper next time.
For the soup, I followed the recipe though went heavy on the water and a tiny bit heavy on the peanut butter. And I used a whole can of tomato paste. I ended up blending about half of it which did make it easier with the peanuts and tomato paste. I think I prefer it to be less blended in the future.

While I was making dinner I realized we had a lot of peppers that were not looking great. So while cooking, I threw together bean fajitas. I used about 2 onions and 4 peppers. For seasoning, I mostly used the Badia Adobo Powder. I finished it with two cans of pintos (too many!)

Meredith (and Caroline) made Chocolate Hazelnut and Tahini-Date Energy Balls. The chocolate hazelnut ones were from Eating Bird Food (LOCAL) and the tahini ones were the same as last week, from The Kitchn. Meredith's only note for the chocolate ones was that she rolled them in coconuts instead of chopped hazelnuts.

In what is becoming a pretty standard practice, if I make rustic bread then we have Croque Monsieur. This was with the leftover béchamel from last time

I did another batch of no-knead bread. I basically followed the directions except I let it rise too much before baking. And had a lot of trouble making the cuts on it. Tasty, though not as pretty as the first. I also may have added too much water? It was really sticky when I kneaded it but I also added a good bit of flour in order to be able to knead it.
Final temp was 197.2°F
Also had the bubble. Not sure how...
I want to see if I can make it more loaf-shaped next time. Maybe with the bigger dutch oven?

Meredith made smoked salmon black bean salad. She doubled the recipe except the black beans. Also no cayenne.
It came out a bit limey but still very good. And easy! Even Caroline ate it!

Meredith made Maple Pumpkin Donuts from Tone it Up
Her notes: Made these with olive oil for coconut oil and brown sugar for coconut sugar. Not sure what makes them maple. Pumpkin spice donuts would be a more fitting name.
There is a note to use Maple Frosting but no link.

Meredith made gumbo from Granbaby cakes (LOCAL). She followed the basic recipe except went a but short on some of the "meld" times. Her other notes:
It was pretty good. Maybe a bit thin but it was flavorful
