Day 26 Photo Challenge

Mmmm, one of the best burgers around.  Five Guys cheeseburger with grilled onions (McDonald's - this is how a grilled onion cheeseburger should look!!)

Day 23 Photo Challenge

Tonight's dinner was thrown together soup because I wasn't feeling well this morning so I didn't get anything out of the freezer.  It actually turned out very good and was filling when eaten with a baked potato.  All I did was put some chicken broth with some canned chicken and added cut up carrots, fresh tomatoes and some half & half along with seasoning.

Day 6 Photo Challenge

Eggs!  Today's picture is of the fresh eggs we get each day from our chickens.  We are currently averaging 6 eggs a day so it doesn't take long to fill up this tray.  I love the variety of colors!!

Day 3 of Photo Challenge

Okay, 2 pictures again but it is the same object.  This is a no-knead bread that I made after seeing it on Pinterest.  This is actually my 2nd loaf and seems to have come out better than the first one.  I don't have a dutch oven (preferred method of baking) so I tried a stoneware pan with a Pampered chef glass batter bowl over it.  The bowl was too small and I think I should have extended the baking time as it was a little doughy.  It was still edible and good tasting though.  Tonight's loaf was made using the insert to my crockpot, hence the oblong shape, and foil over top.  The taste test got all thumbs up!!

The recipe I used can be found here: Crusty-bread  There were a few changes I made because I am using fresh ground hard white wheat.  I used 2 3/4 cups water instead of 3 and baked a few minutes longer.  This was suggested by someone in the comments and seems to have worked well for me.  I also added a tablespoon of garlic powder to this loaf since we are having it with spaghetti.  I can't wait to try some with different types of cheese and herbs!!

A dutch oven is definitely on my wish list now so if you know of a good one beside Le Crueset, let me know please!!
