The exam went pretty well and the dinner plan went even better! In anticipation of dinner plans, I had bought cream of potato soup and pepperidge farm stuffing mix, and I sauteed the zucchini, mushrooms, celery and onions before baking it all together.
I put the full cup of milk in the condensed potato soup, but it ended up being a little watery, so I left it in the oven for a little while before putting the stuffing on top. Stuffing is so much better when it is made with broth, and this stuffing was delicious! Definitely going to make it again! My roommate and I gobbled it up in about 20 minutes!

Zucchini Bread Summer

I had this memory from previous summers of suffering under the excessive quantity of zucchini and summer squash, so I was surprised when I cooked a simple squash saute and it was AMAZING. This year, to prevent the overwhelm, I found recipes where I could shred and freeze squash in 1 cup portions for zucchini bread or use the blender method. Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa or unsweetened cocoa 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 2 large eggs, at room temperature 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled 1/4 cup canola, vegetable oil, or melted coconut oil 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups packed shredded zucchini 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided Instructions Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, add the eggs, melt...

Cranberry orange loaf

As recently as last week there were probably 4 different types of oranges in my refrigerator. Sumos are a crowd favorite, Cara Cara's are consistently sweet and delicious, and clementines are fun and easy to peel. Oranges are the only fruit that my husband will consistently eat, and so we often end up with too many, or oranges that are too tart to eat. With the baby, there is an additional factor in the mix - we have been supreme-ing all of her oranges so she doesn't choke, and not all oranges are so easily supremed. With all those extra oranges, I needed a solid cranberry orange bread recipe that I could make without running to the store. Subsituting the fresh cranberries for craisins makes this an easy option for most of the year. INGREDIENTS 1 cup fresh cranberries or 3/4 cup craisins 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest (from 1 medium orange) 3/4 cup orange juice (2 medium oranges) 2/3 cup AP flour 2/3 cup whole wheat 2/3 cup almond flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspo...

Working towards baby's first 100 foods

Image
  Baby's first birthday is coming up next month, and I have been working towards 100 foods for quite some time. I think I have definitely gone "hard mode" with this list because, unlike some lists, I don't count pancakes and waffles as two different foods, and I don't count herbs and spices. In looking at other people's lists, I felt like there is a lack of content giving specific brands and products to lend diversity to the diet. I definitely made homemade purees, but I also bought applesauce at the store, and sampled the different finger foods on the market. I hope to share some of the specific products that were helpful for busy parents.  The foods we have tried so far are in black, and the foods we plan to try are in grey (subject to change). I am really hoping we can try more shellfish on our upcoming vacation, since we really only have done shrimp. Baby led weaning has been so weird because it seems great for individual foods at the beginning, but the re...
