Broccoli Mac and Cheese

I had my doubts about this coming together. I did add some mustard powder and some smoked paprika and went like that. It was simple to do. Everything just pulled itself together at the end. A good way to add broccoli to a loved item.

Spicy Peanut and Pumpkin Soup

I forgot to add the yogurt at the end, which is fine. Also, the cheese shop has creme fraiche, so I could’ve used that. I think I could’ve added the whole pepper in there, as I added some leftover coconut milk from a previous use. I used agave, as I had some on hand, Pretty good over all.

Baked White Beans and Sausage With Sage

It appears that this was written for kids. It was fine, I guess. It was kind of plain. A bit sweet, a bit savory. Easy to do, sure. But I would’ve preferred some onions and tomatoes in there to make it more of a sausage and bean dish, rather then just sausage with beans. Should’ve added more spices.

Spicy Sesame Noodles With Chicken and Peanuts

I ended up zesting the orange, instead of cutting off the peel and extracting it later, but the rest of it I followed pretty closely. It was pretty good. I had to use dried udon noodles as I am uncertain where I would get fresh ones here. I ordered some noodles here so Hopefully I’ll have a few more of these type of recipes on the docket.
