Meredith made a crustless version of her Caprese Quiche. The blind-baked crust came out shrunken, a but bubbled, and a bit overcooked. So she decided it wasn't worth it.

Meredith made Sweet Potato Chili
Used Japanese sweet potatoes which are super sweet and were really good! Also topped it with leftover spaghetti squash. Again served with red and green onion, Fritos, non-fat Greek yogurt, and cheese.
She also doubled it and used a mix of black and pinto beans. She also skipped the chipotle (which we previously done with smoked paprika but didn’t use either today)

My dad (and Caroline) made “Mom’s Bread”. My dad said the flour (which we got from Burke Bakehouse) was different than what he’s used to (King Arthur). It worked well but did collapse a little bit.

Meredith made Zucchini Strata with some notable changes:
The bread was defrosted from Burque Bakehouse
I updated the recipe page for noting the cheddar

Meredith made "fried sage" in brown butter. It was based on a cookbook but basically, she just browned butter with sage leaves in it. We used that as a "sauce" for Trader Joes Cacio e Pepe Ravioli. It was pretty good; especially the fried leaves!
I made roasted broccoli soup. Meredith had roasted the broccoli earlier in the week. I made it with Better Than Bouillon Vegetable broth. It came out a bit salty and not as good as usual, though certainly not bad either. I think some of the cheese may have gone off too.
Update: From 2021-02-13, use 3 Tbsp of butter

Meredith made Red Lentil Chili from A Beautiful Mess (LOCAL).
Her notes:
I doubled it (thankfully -- we ate a lot) and used 1 can of tomatoes 🥫 instead of tomato sauce. Skipped the jalapeño, cilantro, and cayenne. Went a little heavy on the chili powder, plus a little cumin and oregano. Served with green onions, cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, and Fritos.

The salad was inspired by Love and Lemons (LOCAL) but didn't want their dressing.
Used this vinaigrette from What's Gaby Cooking (LOCAL)
Used Quinoa and baby kale.

I made chicken pot pie with our regular recipe except I realized I could make it better if I used more butter and made a real roux/béchamel sauce. I modified that recipe to note the options with what I did. I ended up adding a bit more milk both to think it and to help mix the bouillon. That may have been a mistake as it was pretty thin. I also forgot the acidity.
It was really good. I think the butter was well worth the calories to get more flavor out of it; especially since it wasn't too much worse!
Unfortunately, Caroline was not a big fan.
