Cream Cheese Danish 2.0

Yesterday I made Cream Cheese Danish again.  I followed the recipe this time and used canned crescent rolls for the dough.  I also sprinkled slivered almonds on the top like the recipe said.  Last time I didn't have almonds and used chopped walnuts.  It turned out quite good.  Tryphena can't stop eating it.

Caramel Apple Bread Pudding

The other day I made bread pudding. A caramel apple bread pudding.  I also made a caramel sauce to drizzle on top.  It was tasty.  Now I need to make that cheese danish.  I might make it tonight.

It doesn't look so great, but it was very good.

Haystacks

The nice thing about haystacks is you can assemble them with pretty much whatever you want and they will be good, as long as you use the basics: chips, rice, meat, lettuce and cheese.  For the haystacks tonight I used rice, chips, cheese sauce, lettuce, banana pepper rings, salsa, and a meat sauce which consisted of meat, kidney beans, onion, tomato sauce, and seasonings.  Now everybody has their own way of assembling them, but my way is the best.  Yes, it is.  Don't argue with me.  First comes the plate, then rice, crumbled tortilla chips, meat sauce, lettuce, salsa, cheese sauce, and a few banana pepper rings on top.  It was good.  Quite good.

Ozark Pudding

Ozark Pudding.  It's like a fruit and nut custard.  I used apples and walnuts.  Click here for a recipe that is very similar to what I used.  It doesn't look so hot when it comes out of the oven, but it is good.  It's even better eaten with ice cream.

Grilled Steaks

Mom had some steaks marinating in Italian seasonings for a couple days.  Tonight I grilled them.  I also made mashed potatoes and steamed some yellow squash and zucchini in Italian seasonings with onion and garlic.  I made a gravy from scratch for the mash and steak.  I don't even know what to call the gravy.  I just made it up.  I thickened beef stock with a slurry then added honey, Worcestershire, red wine vinegar, beef bouillon cubes, salt, black pepper, and red pepper.  It was pretty tasty.  I must write this one down and keep it in my collection.

Cream Cheese Danish

After I made that apple danish, Tryphena requested a cheese danish.  So I made it the other day.  The only thing is,  I didn't like the recipe.  It said to use canned crescent rolls.  I say that is cheating.  And we didn't have crescent rolls.  So I used the recipe for dough from the apple danish recipe and made the cream cheese filling.  However, I didn't have enough white flour for the dough so I used some whole wheat flour.  It made the dough different.  The whole thing turned out okay, I think.  Tryphena doesn't like it.  So next time I try to make this I will use crescent rolls like it says.

Apple Danish

I don't like to bake, but it seems like when I start baking I have bake some more.  There is a sense of accomplishment when the stuff you bake turns out good.  Last night I made Apple Danish.  It is good.  So good in fact that a good portion of it was already eaten when I got up this morning, as you can see from this picture.
