Quarantine Cooking, Week 3

[starlady]

• Avocado Toast – I'm kind of proud that I made it to week three before breaking this out. I don't think you actually need tips on how to make it, but back in the day I did find reading this over helpful. 
• Brussels Sprouts Mac & Cheese (Kimchi Variation) – I make this with kimchi about half the time now and it's very good: just use 6-8oz kimchi in place of the brussels sprouts and proceed as directed. 
• Cannellini Aglio e Oglio – A good way to use up some of those white beans; I just made a double batch to avoid having the half a can of artichoke hearts linger. It really is best on toast.
• Confetti Cookies – I ate so much of the dough before I even baked the cookies and I regret nothing.
• Congee – I followed Samin Nosrat's recipe from her Instagram stories and it was good. I used half chicken stock and half water and I might go 2/3-1/3 next time but it's not a dealbreaker.

My copy of the pie cookbook finally arrived and I'm excited to make a pie in the next week or two--given that I ate all of the cookies in about three days, I'm going to try to hold off on the dessert this week.

Scarfing then cookie dough is nothing to regret.

Given how fast I ate the cookies after they were baked, I think I made the right choice to freeze half the dough for later. But it was totally worth it.

Omg kimchee mac and cheese sounds amazing.

It's extremely tasty!!! The family who runs the bodega around the corner sells their homemade kimchi and it's very good.

I love those confetti cookies, too. I hope they continue to sparkle for you :)
