Today has been one of those days where I’ve been what I like to call “angry cooking/baking.” 😂
What exactly does that mean? It’s when life absolutely sucks, my brain needs a break, and I cope by turning the music up way too loud, zoning out, and making a whole bunch of homemade food. 🫠
It gives my mind something to focus on, keeps my hands busy, and, honestly… it makes my soul feel just a little better knowing we’re going to have some seriously delicious food to eat over the next few days. ❤️
Since we were gone on vacation, the garden decided to go absolutely WILD. 🍅🌱 So naturally, I took advantage of it and turned a bunch of those tomatoes into homemade salsa and marinara sauce. And that marinara? It’s becoming a big, delicious lasagna tomorrow. 🤤
But we can’t forget the sweet stuff. 🍋
I also have a butt load of eggs to use up, and since I haven’t made them in forever, I decided on lemon bars! I can’t wait to dig into those. 😋
And because apparently I wasn’t busy enough, my mini-me and I made some chocolate chip marshmallow cookie dough together. 🥰 I’m thinking we’re going to turn those into ice cream cookie sandwiches once they’re ready. Because if Wisconsin insists on being this hot, we might as well fight back with ice cream. 😂🍦
I STILL have about a dozen eggs left. 😳
So tell me… what the heck should I make?!
I was thinking muffins, but those don’t use nearly enough eggs. 🤔
Crème brûlée?
Quiche?
Something totally different?
Give me your best ideas! 👇
Life is full of ups and downs. Some days are harder than others. And sometimes you just have to turn up the music, get lost in the kitchen, and eat your way through it with a little soul-soothing homemade food. ❤️
And if nothing else… at least tomorrow’s dinner is going to be freaking delicious. 😂
