I made these:
Raspberry-Cream Cheese Crescent Danish

Except I completely changed the filling. I made my own strawberry jam with strawberry bits in it, and I changed the cream cheese filling to cream cheese + sour cream + little sugar + egg yolk + tiny bit of flour. And no almonds or sugar glaze. So basically, I looked at the recipe and thought "That sounds great, let me try to make it without following the recipe at all." They're fantastic!

My partner made this for dinner. Baked carrots, baked panko breaded tofu, and garlic mashed potatoes. All gluten free and vegetarian per usual.

I am glad that I am not the only one who does this

I read a joke article one time that said that every recipe online is "this wonderful recipe from my cousin, which I changed completely so it would no longer be ****ing terrible" and I feel that.

Most of my recipe changes are either because I am judging the original recipe maker's knowledge of only two spices or I am judging how much freaking work they think I need to put in just to make a glaze or something lol

Ohhhhhhhh that makes sense

 

[vetmedhead]

What are your favorite kinds of pies? I want to make something for pi day next week but am not leaning toward any particular kind of pie at the moment

I can and will make the whole thing from scratch, so the real limiting factor here is mostly just imagination and my own laziness

Peach is my favorite. My dad's favorite is apple. Coconut cream is good on occasion and always looks impressive with the meringue. Lemon meringue is also good but I rarely eat it. I like one slice of pecan at Thanksgiving...I did make a bourbon chocolate pecan pie once that was good for a Kentucky Derby party.

 

[SkiOtter]

I love banana cream pie. With nilla wafers.

Mine only took about 40 mins too. I love it when they cook fast!

I had considered fruit pies but was a little worried since most traditional pie fruits are out of season right now. I may do some hand pies with fruit though

My banana cream pies always turn into banana pudding halfway through the process haha.

I mean they have banana pudding in them so I think you’re doing something right?

 

[vetmedhead]

Oh, I just mean I get excited about the components and end up layering custard/nilla wafers/bananas/whipped cream into a banana pudding the way my grandma used to make

sorta like this

Ahhhhh
I mean that’s still a delicious option
My banana cream pie is nilla wafers crushed into a crust, massive layer of nanners, 1/2 of the banana pudding (I am a peasant and use boxed pudding because it has a lovely artificial banana flavor), then 1/2 of the whipped cream mixed with the other pudding, then the rest of the whipped cream on top. And now I want banana cream pie. Or banana pudding.

 

[vetmedhead]

Banoffee pie maybe?

Banoffee pie maybe?

Ooooooo yum

Omg. Ok so NYT cooking has some amazing recipes.
There’s a gluten free cranberry curd tart with hazelnut crust that’s sooo goooood. Another good one is a berry Apple butter pie.

That cranberry curd tart above is GF! Made it for my celiacs friend and it was a big hit! Also made it for my fam at thanksgiving and it was a bigger hit than my normal pie crust

 

[WildZoo]

Hi I like key lime pie, most fruit pies, pumpkin pie, basically all the pie? Yeah. All the pie.

 

[mypetmoose]

Cherry pie is yummy too!

 

[Squeaksmom]

Does it have to be a dessert pie? Because my vote would be steak and mushroom pie or some variant.

 

[mypetmoose]

Today I tried making banana bread with oats instead of flour since I was out of flour. Not bad!

Skimming through the new posts on this thread.
And now I'm craving pizza and pie -- you all suck! I would especially like iphone pizza which does not exist in my world

Mint oreo pie with Graham cracker crust

If you mean oreo crust I totally get it

 

[CoffeeQuestionMark]

i definitely dig berry and cherry pies the most. Do like a good cream pie but often is too sweet. Pecan is delicious as well...

 

[Frozenshades]

Hadn’t tried making mustard cream suace before. Highly recommend, delicious with pork. Have to try with chicken next.

 

[JaynaAli]

Oh, I love a good mustard cream sauce! I use it for both pork and chicken...I prefer it with porkchops but both are good. I really like how easy it is to put together, and it keeps pretty well.

 

[mypetmoose]

Yes. From the bottom it goes Graham cracker, then crushed mint oreos mushed into paste, then cool whip/cream cheese/mint flavored/green food colored, then crinkle mint oreos on top!

The lounge also has a food porn thread where they post pics from fancy restaurants or that they made

I made a Persian stew. Eggplants and lentils in a citrus-pomegranate base. Also ever since I learned about tahdig (the crust on the rice) that's the only way I want to eat it

 

[danseth]

The other day I made some baked lemon-y dill salmon (it was delicious). I basically half meal prepped but I was reminded why I never do that because, for whatever reason, most leftover foods never sound appetizing to me so I just kept forgetting to actually eat the other two filets of salmon I had. So, last night, I made salmon cakes out of my leftovers! Turned out pretty great imo.

Here are some pics of the finished products:

For anyone interested, here's the recipe I used for the salmon cakes: Make the Most of Leftover Salmon With These Crispy Salmon Cakes

 

[CoffeeQuestionMark]

Still savoring the left over stew I have. I think I have one more day of stew but a few extra servings of rice. Let me just say, if you have never cooked rice with tahdig, you are missing out. I'm honestly not sure I could enjoy it any other way anymore (the tahdig is the crunchy part on the rice, made by continuing to steam it after the water is gone)

It's currently blizzarding in Fort Collins. I decided I wanted soup so I made some egg drop/egg flower soup (whichever you prefer to say it. Both are correct so it doesn't really matter). Definitely hitting the spot.

I'm in the process of making roasted carrot & ginger soup right now! Also probably going to make that pie since they cancelled school
