Smitten Kitchen Everyday: Triumphant and Unfussy New Favorites | Deb Perelman

Saturday morning means time to try a new recipe for a late and leisurely breakfast. I don‘t own a waffle iron, but I easily adjusted the recipe to bake waffle sticks instead. The batter includes blended dates, and then the waffles are served with a delicious toffee sauce.

Daisey The recipe can also be found here: https://tobecooked.com/2018/01/15/sticky-toffee-date-waffles/ 2d

TheBookHippie I wondered about this cookbook! Thanks for the link! 2d

American Pie: Slices of Life (and Pie) from America's Back Roads | Pascale Le Draoulec

Not sure where I heard about this one - I thought it was on here, but don't see any posts about it 🤷‍♀️. Anyway, it's a good lunch/break choice. Relatively entertaining, easy to dip and out of, not so compelling that I have to tote it around to keep reading.

There's a little bit of Coastal-Media-Type-Road-Trips-to-Find-the-Real-America 🙄, but not the worst offender I've ever come across. And it's balanced with lots of pie recipes!

BkClubCare I 💕 pie! Stacked 4d

Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey: Desserts for the Serious Sweet Tooth | Jill O'Connor

Many of the recipes sound and look delicious! The author includes personal notes for each recipe, which I really enjoy. This is the first recipe I tried (#mtcookbook success!), but I have it on display, tempting me to try others!

This is the Brown Sugar Almond Pound Cake that I served at Mother‘s Day brunch with macerated berries and whipped yogurt.

mabell Side note - I think I‘m going to try to find a new bundt pan, as mine is dark “non-stick”, and the long baking time for pound cakes really browns the crust 4d

Tamra What a beauty! 😍 4d

mabell @Tamra Thank you! It‘s a fabulous recipe! And it keeps well 😊 4d

Homegrown Herbs: A Complete Guide to Growing, Using, and Enjoying More than 100 Herbs | Tammi Hartung

Starting my garden for the year. Tomatoes are in pots and I'm getting my seeds ready. Trying propagating the tomato plant, hopefully it works! #gardening #whatsnewwednesday

jessinikkip Nice! I keep meaning to get a cherry tomato plant and try growing my own. Is it hard? 4d

thebacklistbook @jessinikkip tomatoes are the easiest thing to grow. They typically need 6 to 8 hours sunlight full sun to dappled is good. Starting from a mature plant is probably easiest for a first time. Small tomatoes are usually indeterminate though so you will need a tall trellis or cage to support them or do them from a hanging basket. Check the label on the plant. If they are determinate they just need a pot and maybe a stake. 4d

thebacklistbook @jessinikkip personally I recommend getting a fruit and veggies blend for soil. And a shaker of fruit and veggie feed. Helps improve yield. 4d

jessinikkip Thanks! I will give them a try then 👍🏾 2d

It is entirely possible that I will umami myself to death.
Puréed the preserved lemons I made (from the Meyer lemons that grew on my tiny tree) to make preserved lemon paste.
Paired with Kerrygold Dubliners cheese on a pretzel cracker, it is divine.

Aimeesue @Beatlefan129 It‘s fabulous! I love both lemons and salt, so it seemed like a no-brainer. I did have to wait several months for the lemons to ferment though, so it‘s not exactly quick 😂 1w

Aimeesue @Tamra Holy cow, I have a whole quart, almost. If you lived nearby, I would sure offload so- i mean, GIVE some to you! 🤣 🍋 🍋 🍋 1w

mabell Oh how cool!! I tried preserving lemons once, and it was a fail 🤣 1w

batsy That looks absolutely delicious! 1w

Aimeesue @mabell oh no! I‘ve tried doing slices before and they turned out OK but not great, but I went with quarters this time and threw them in the back of the fridge for 4 months. 😂 7d

Aimeesue @batsy I cannot adequately describe how much I love the lemon paste. Words fail me. *SWOON* 7d

mabell @Aimeesue I don‘t think the recipe I followed used the fridge! I‘ll have to try again! 6d

Took myself out for brunch (vanilla latte and egg and cheese on a cheddar chive biscuit) along with my cookbook to plan what I‘m making my mom for Mother‘s Day.
