I made smash burgers. Like last time, it took me a bit to get used to really pressing them. You need to press way harder than it seems like you should. It worked well though! Pretty tasty

We made fennel pizza. We used the Trader Joes crust (which we had frozen. That worked well) and then canned pizza sauce. We originally cut up the fennel but then realized that last time we roasted it a bit so we threw it in the oven.
I forgot the ricotta before so we added it afterwards. The pizza cooked nicely enough. Maybe a tad too long (and did a number on the parchment but that is fine).
We also had soppressata on it.

I made a BIG thing of brisket using the normal recipe.
I really need to learn how to better trim the meat. As is, I pulled out ~4 lbs of fat but I wasn't happy with how fatty some of the meat came out anyway
It worked pretty well otherwise. I still need to work on cutting it too as some of it was not against the grain as I would like.
I forget the weights but it was a lot. I froze about two pounds and we had tons of leftovers

I grilled kabocha squash. I cut it pretty thin and then sprayed it with pam. I grilled it for about 5-10 min per side. It worked pretty well to have around as a snack!
When I cut this one, I thought it looked a bit underripe as you can see in the pic. Not sure but it tasted fine

Same idea as 2020-03-26 with the sauce from 2019-07-24. Also used butternut squash which worked really well to add bulk, veggies, and flavor.

Meredith made the One Pot Tomatoes, Beans, and Orzo dish we've had a few times. Instead of spinach, she put some cauliflower rice directly into it. That worked well to add bulk and veggies though I also liked the spinach in there.
Served with some mozzarella balls and pesto.

Meredith made more decorated sugar cookies. She used the sugar cookies from Jenny's Cookies (LOCAL). The biggest note over the last few sugar cookies (2020-08-23 and 2020-08-27) is that she rolled them thicker this time!
She used the frosting from Sally's Baking Addiction (LOCAL). She was not very happy with it. It came out kind of sticky even when dried. Upon doing more reading, this is likely from too much water which was because the recipe says to only beat it for two minutes where others say 7-10. Maybe this frosting is fine but it needs to be beaten for much longer
She liked the cookie recipe a lot but wonder if she would have liked the other ones more had she not rolled them so thin!
Decorating also took a lot of effort!
It made about 42 cookies plus lots of little scrap bits

Regular stir fry but with snow peas instead of sugar snap peas. We liked the change and would consider it again!
