What’s Cookin’?

It’s always a bit of an adventure when I get busy in the kitchen.

Last weekend (because sometimes I roll in way late), I prepared a few things.

I made What a Dahl! from this cookbook . . .

The prep work wasn’t too bad. It didn’t take long until my kitchen smelled heavenly, and the result was absolute perfection.

I ate on this all week long.

I have eaten a lot of Dahl since I became a vegan. It’s a staple on cruise ships too because it typically makes a lot and keeps well. This recipe tasted very authentic. I’ll be making it often!

We had the Mr.’s parents over for dinner last Sunday evening. It was his mom’s birthday, and it is my belief that nobody should have to cook on their own birthday.

He grilled steaks. I was responsible for the sides.

Oven roasted potatoes are my go-to, but finding a recipe has been a challenge.

One of my favorite and long-followed recipe writers, Megan Gilmore, came through for me!

The flavoring wasn’t too strong. We ate them up!

I also steamed broccoli using the instructions in Megan Gilmore’s instant pot cookbook.

This cookbook has been a staple in my home since 2018. She has recipes that suit nearly every dietary need, and they are EASY to prepare.

I’ll be trying a new recipe from that Scrappy cookbook this weekend. Stay tuned!

  1. I commented earlier but poof – it disappeared. You are a kind daughter-in-law to prepare dinner for your mother-in-law. What did you eat besides the potatoes?

    • Oh my goodness. I went back and read my post and realized I’d never finished it. Lol! Since I started back with the blogging, I am constantly starting posts as I think of things to share and editing them several times before they actually “go to print,” so to speak.

      I made a bowl of steamed broccoli to accompany the potatoes and steaks the hubby had prepared. I added this info to my blog post. Ha!

      Have a great day!
