French Bread Pizza (using up the rest of the marinara sauce)

Made a bit of garlic butter, then added the sauce, cheese and pepperoni to the top. Simple and ok.

Brats

Good as always.

Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup With Chicken

I used the rest of a jar of red curry paste, which wasn’t as concentrated as some others and some angel hair pasta (the other half of a box from a bit ago). This came together quickly, though did use a lot of pots. Pretty good, though the chicken did settle tot he bottom of the leftover container so I didn’t get a lot of chicken, until the last lunch serving of leftover. I added Sambal Oelek to mine.

Vidalia Onion Pie

I will state for the record that sometimes when you reduce the “steps” it makes it hard to read the recipe. I think sometimes the Team at Cooks Illustrated has a limit to how many “steps” they can make so instead of do this thing and this thing and also this other thing, it should be do this, start this, do this as actual steps.

That being said, this was actually pretty good. Mostly onion based, with cheese, eggs and some heat. I used the pie pan I have (which if I remember right is from Shannon’s kitchen collection).

Split Pea and Ham Soup

I’ve made this a few times. I added more celery, carrots, and ham. This was done on Saturday, which was pretty much, eat, shovel, recover from shoveling, make dinner. It’s a quite a good soup.
