A Busy Day In The Kitchen



Unfortunatly, I didn't take a picture of the breakfast that I made. I made a scramble at my husbands request. It had potatoes, breakfast sausage, red bell peppers, eggs, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, salt n' pepper and parsley. It was delish!
I did remember to take a picture of the coffee cake muffins that I made. I've honestly never made muffins from scratch until this morning, just never really got into it, until now! They were good, they weren't overly sweet like I thought they would be, so really they were perfect. My husband also liked that they didn't taste like a spoon full of sugar. I'll definitly be making these again.
I have these blueberry bushes, 5 to be exact, that produce a ton of blueberries. The first year we harvested them, I think I made at least 10 pies with them and we ate a lot of them as just snacks. This year was the same BUT we froze a bunch. I measured out 3 pies worth and froze them in individual foodsavor bags. I'm getting in the mood to do something with them...blueberry muffins??
Tonight I made my lasagna, really it's my mothers lasagna, she gave me the recipe a long time ago. It takes a bit to put it all together, mainly because the sauce alone takes 45 minutes. I use 4 cheeses with mine, mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan and cheddar cheese. I don't make it often but my husband sure loves it. It went good with the bread that I spent 4 days on.
Speaking of the bread, there was nothing sourdough about it and I am a bit disappointed. The bread IS good, but it tasted more like an egg bread than anything else. I feel like I wasted my time. It just gives me the drive to find a different recipe. I did notice that there are many different forms of sourdough starters out there. But I think it bumms me out more that I spent so much time and had so much anticipation with it, to smell the sourdough while it was baking made my mouth water...and for not a simple hint of sourdough taste. This is a recipe I will be blacking out for sure. I've done it before and I'll do it again.
