I love to cook and it’s a great distraction for me as well. Anyone else cooking today? If so, what is it? I am making turkey and spinach lasagna. I might make some snickerdoodles too.

I am making rice with beef stew. Not sure how I came up with that combo. Tomorrow will be tortellini with white sauce.

Hmmmm! I love beef stew!
…from the can since I am living alone 8 hours away from the wife and kids (new job). Think I’ve reverted to the “college meal plan”. At least we are still sober.

Random fact: Canned pumpkin (for pies) is actually squash. Somehow pumpkin is a distant cousin of squash…

I made no bake chocolate oat bars…now I need to stop eating them…
Heat in saucepan on med high heat until well smooth…
3/4 c honey (I used about 1/2 c)
2/3 c peanut butter
1/2 c coconut oil
Stir in…
3 cups quick cooking oats
1/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dash of salt
Mix until everything is fully incorporated and coated. Transfer to brownie pan and place in freezer for at least 15 minutes. Remove, let stand a bit and cut out squares (way easier once it defrosts a bit) keep squares in airtight container in either fridge or freezer. Yum!!!

I’m moving soon (hopefully) so I’m not allowed to food shop until my cupboards are clear! So, weird times ahead, with weird food combos… Tonight i had courgette, bean and sweet potato bake layered with soya cheese… It was weird but nice… :)…
I’ve had a lovely day baking with my 3 year old son. He helped make and shape scones and even helped tidy.
Then I’ve made a delicious spaghetti sauce cooked the usual way with red onion Olive oil Tinned Tomatoes and bay leaf. Can’t beat the classics!
Spending lots of time in the kitchen lately…

@SassyRocks,we used to put shredded coconut in what we called no bake cookies. Have you tried that? I’m lazy now buy them at the store, package doesn’t last long.

Funny you mentioned that @NewFuture, as I was putting away my ingredients, I saw my container of coconut and I thought, damn, I should have put some in.
