Meredith made Croque-Monsieurs following Bon Appétit (LOCAL). She used Trader Joes Focaccia bread but I think otherwise followed the recipe. They were good. We may try to prep-ahead the béchamel and use that to make these quickly during the week.

Meredith made fondue to have before Christmas Tree decorating.
She used the Serious Eats Recipe (LOCAL). We used comté instead of Appenzeller. We also forgot the nutmeg and didn't have kirsch. It came out pretty good. We wish we had the kirsch but it was fine. Even Caroline ate some of it (we didn't want her to have too much with the wine).
We served it with bread, roasted fingerling potatoes, apples, broccoli, and cauliflower

Meredith made her usual Cauliflower Mac and Cheese. She used the Sriracha Mac and cheese with less sriracha and added lightly mashed (a bit rougher than "cauliflower rice" consistency) cauliflower.
We really liked it but Caroline decided to be fickle about it this time. I did think it needed a bit more sriracha than usual but still very good.

Meredith prepped and froze Chicken and Wild Rice Hotdish. It still needs the cracker topping, but otherwise ready to go. She also did onions instead of leaks. And used a combination of half and half with whole milk for the heavy cream
I will update or link back when we reheat it and cook it: 2021-01-04

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
