Baking

I had a little time on ... Saturday?

After my morning class and before my evening class.

(One of my instructors has the flu so I covered

for her on Fri and Sat evenings).

 I decided to make some food.

Since Rod quit working 24/7

I quit making so much food!

Poor man!

He's used to there being lots of pre-made

food in the freezer for his lunches.

And the theory is I would cook dinner

and he would take the leftover for his lunch.

But like many theories - it didn't work.

So this week I'll be filling the freezer again.

Probably.

Once I get all the Thanksgiving food out of the way.

(He's only working today and tomorrow...)

Anyhow.

I baked bread.

In the PRESSURE COOKER!

(takes WAAAAY longer, but they say it's a lighter,

fluffier result - I'm going to try again in the

regular oven and see if its true...)

But anyhow.

It was a flourless (almond flour) and cheese/chive bread.

So I got some fresh chives from the garden

and got to work.

It was SUPER simple.

I baked it in the springform pan I usually use

for cheesecakes. (which reminds me, I want to

make a cheesecake to take to work tomorrow...)

And then when it was done I put my crisp lid on,

added some more cheese and browned it up a bit.

 It looked really nice!

I could have browned it a little longer, but was

afraid of burning the cheese. (white cheese)

It had nice "crumb" - it looks a bit wet,

but that's just the lighting.

It was actually really yummy.

As evidenced by the fact that Rod eats a piece

with every dinner since...

And, while that was cooking in the pressure cooker

I put a "Guilt Gone Cranberry Pie" in

the toaster oven.

It got a little brown, but it's DELICIOUS!

(You can tell its fall cuz the stores start selling

fresh cranberries and I start making this pie/cake/thing...)

I just finished today's class.

So now it's laundry, etc etc etc...

Have a great Monday!
