We've been kind of off routine and out of sorts since our trip a couple of weeks ago, and I've just been moseying along with no menu plan. Even so, I thought I'd let y'all know what's been cooking lately. I'm still loving the Sourdough eCourse at GNOWFGLINS, so of course we've had lots of sourdough goodies! My 8 and 10 year old daughters even made their very own sourdough starter last week per Erin's instructions and they cooked up some delicious apple muffins with it over weekend! Some other things I've made from the eCourse in the past week include:
Cheese and Herb Crackers

| Ready to go into the oven |

| My toddler could live on these things. They are SO addictive. |
Roast Beef and Cheese Crepe Cake
 |
| Mmmmm...beefy, cheesy, melty yummness |
Cinnamon Rolls
 |
| Before turning them out |

| Here they are turned out with all the ooey gooey goodness from the bottom of the dish! |
Artisan bread
Waffles
German Pancakes (a modification of the skillet pancakes shared by an eCourse member)
Pumpkin Muffins
Chicken and dumplings were requested for last week, so I made the dumplings from rolled and cut bucket dough from the eCourse. Sourdough dumplings! They were really good! Also on the non-menu last week was Homemade Pizza Rolls. I followed the sourdough cinnamon roll recipe, omitted the sweeteners, and filled with pizza sauce, ground beef, and cheese! I also kneaded some herbs into the rolls. Delicious! These were a hit!
So, that's what's been cooking in my kitchen during these weeks of blogging silence. Here's what will be cooking in the week to come!

I am glad to hear that the bucket dough works for dumplings. I tried many times last winter to make a good soaked or sourdough dumpling and only made little dumpling 'rocks'. I'll have to work chicken and dumplings into the menu in the near future to try the bucket dough, I can't wait!
ReplyDeletePizza rolls are another great idea.
Yeah, the couple of times I've made dumplings in the past year have been with white flour, but these turned out really good. You could definitely taste the sourdough flavor, though. We like that, but some may not. My hubby suggested that I try a egg, cheese, and sausage/bacon version of the cinnamon rolls (sans cinnamon & sweetener, of course). Sounds good, but I'm thinking I'd leave the egg out since I don't like overcooked egg.
