- For breakfast I made eggs in portabella mushroom caps. "Oil & broil" the caps for 5-10 mins (best to remove the stems first). Then crack an egg into each mushroom, season if you like, sprinkle a little parmagiana or other cheese on top if you're so inclined. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, and you're set! If you go for the shorter cooking time, might want to have some bread or something handy to soak up the egg yolk and mushroom juice.
- I made a "Yankee pot roast & vegetables" recipe from a cookbook I picked up last week of slimmed-down slow cooker recipes. That'll be dinner tonight.
- We tried rabbit again, this time using a recipe from the Chief's old Doubleday cookbook. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't worth the work. And with rabbit costing $6.59/lb, we won't make it again.
- As a side dish, I fixed a Loaded Cauliflower Mash Bake. I will definitely be making this again! You boil a head of cauliflower and a few cloves of garlic until the cauliflower is pretty much mush. Drain it, then puree. Add 1/3 c. of buttermilk (I substituted non-fat plain Greek yogurt, which I'm far more likely to use), 1 Tbsp of butter, salt & pepper to taste. Pour into an 8"x8" baking dish, top with 1/4 c. shredded cheddar and 4 strips of crisp bacon, crumbled, and bake at 350 degrees F for 5 or 10 minutes (enough to melt the cheese). I tasted this while I was pureeing it and think it would be just as good without the cheese or bacon because the yogurt gave it such a good zing - think sour cream. If you think cauliflower is boring, you gotta try this!

Tried *four* new recipes yesterday!
Yesterday I made a tiny dent in my enormous backlog of recipes I want to try.
