I love to take an open Sunday and fill it with cooking. Anybody else? Got any fav all day dishes?
I recently got into making pastys but my waist line is asking me to stop lol. But I do enjoy the time to make the filling, making the crust, letting it rest, making the pies, and baking off. Such a delicious result too. And they freeze wonderfully! Anyone looking for a recipe I would recommend Amy Thielan’s. She is so fantastic and her rutabaga pastys are delicious and kind of unusual too.
Anybody got any dishes to share?
Soup! Every fall/winter my fiance and I along with her father do Soup Sundays. We make a list of all the soups we want to do that year and then work through the list. Pretty much always make the stock from scratch so soup Sundays is usually me starting to boil down some bones around 10am and then going all day long.
What my husband and I call “Try Hard Lasagna”: we make a double batch of Marcella Hazan’s bolognese sauce (non-NYT link), fresh egg pasta, and bechamel. Then those all get layered with mozzarella and parmigianino cheeses into the best lasagna I’ve ever had.
I actually need to do this soon, because I promised a pregnant friend that I’d make her some in disposable loaf pans for easy post-partum meals.
Pita pizzas. Pitas, sauce, and cheese, put in the oven until cheese is melted.
I recommend pesto sauce
