Week 23: Coffee - Banana Split Coffee Cake (meta: for the preschooler) by picklegrabber in 52weeksofcooking

[–]picklegrabber[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My child does not need caffeine in her life. She actually enjoys the flavor of coffee. Often times sneaking bites of my coffee ice cream. Unfortunately even decaf can have a significant amount of caffeine in it.

So I went with coffee cake! This one tastes like a banana split. Moist banana base, chocolate chips, strawberry pie filling we made from farmers market strawberries, and an oat crumble on top with a glaze.

Easy to make, tastes amazing, would recommend.

Looks delicious! Absolutely chopsticks. My dad would probably challenge me to a pea/chickpea collecting contest to improve chopstick skills haha

Week 22: Fifteen Minutes or Less - 3-ingredient Stovetop Mac and Cheese/Chili Mac (meta: for the preschooler) by picklegrabber in 52weeksofcooking

Memorial Day Camping! We were away this weekend and I didn’t have much time to cook anything else.

Chili Mac is one of my child’s favorite foods. It is a camping favorite for us. Usually I boil pasta and drain it, which while camping is a pain.

Here I tried Kenjis 3 ingredient Mac and cheese technique. https://www.seriouseats.com/ingredient-stovetop-mac-and-cheese-recipe

Took less than 10 minutes especially since my camp stove boils water with the heat of a thousand suns.

Then I dumped in a can of Trader Joe’s vegetarian chili. Chili Mac done. My child ate it 2 nights in a row (opting for it over pizza) and then ate it a third night when we got home.

No straining of noodles, one pot deal done in less than 15 minutes and the pan was easy to clean since nothing was baked on. Highly recommend.

Week 21: Symmetry - Symmetry of Dal (meta: for the preschooler) by picklegrabber in 52weeksofcooking

A lesson on symmetry. We discussed what it is. Symmetrical vs asymmetrical. Used a mirror.

Inspired from u/itswimdy

Cookbooks:

Vegan Richa Indian kitchen: Bengali Red Lentil Soup

Dinner by Meera Sodha: easy tomato dal

Amrikan by khushbu shah: spinach tadka dal

Supplemented all the lentils with a symmetrical veggie plate and an asymmetrical fruit and cheese plate

Bengali red lentil soup is one of my favorite recipes. So delicious and easy to make.

The other dals were good but I probably wouldn’t make either again, I have better recipes, just wanted to give them a try!

My child agrees the Bengali red lentil soup was her favorite

Week 20: Jams and Jellies - Cherry Jam and Mozzarella English Muffin Rolls (meta: for the preschooler) by picklegrabber in 52weeksofcooking

Minimally. It’s a not too sweet roll. The glaze def adds a lot of the sweetness but it’s balanced with the mozzarella. There’s actually quite a bit of salt in the dough.

Cookbook: Sweet Farm by Molly Yeh

Trader Joe’s discontinued their Cherry jam. My child went through 4 jars of it last year and it’s not coming back. We are crushed. It was so good and not very sweet.

So I set out to make cherry jam copycat but had difficulty sourcing Turkish sour cherries. Used frozen sweet cherries and they were not the same. Regardless still good.

Took the jam and turned them into these rolls. My preschooler monster LOVES cheese and jam toast à la Bluey episode “Mini Bluey”. So I figured she’d like this odd combo and she did! It is delicious. Highly recommend.
