Busy day...

I tried a bun recipe about a year ago and have been using it ever since for our hamburger buns. We only had one left in the freezer so I made these today to restock. The recipe fits well with our KAF bun pan and using half whole wheat flour it makes for an excellent roll when we have burgers. It has great depth of flavor and freezes very well. I usually make this recipe once or twice a month depending on how fast we go through them.


Using one of the new ingredients purchased this weekend dinner tonight was pretty fun to put together. Turkey-Jasmine rice Meatballs with Bok Choy was the main part of our dinner this evening. I anticipated that the meatballs were going to take some prep time so I mixed and formed them a few hours before dinner. They held together very well and were not at all dried out as I feared they might be. The rice was an interesting but fun texture! It was finished off with a sauce made from the liquid used for steaming the bok choy. The bok choy was slightly sweet and went over well enough that we would use it again.

We had a ton of carrots in the refrigerator that I needed to use so as a side I made Carrot Coins with Maple-Balsamic browned butter. This was excellent! Crisp tender carrots with the sweet buttery glaze was quick to throw together and a definite repeater!
