November Cooking Update

I started a list in the middle of September of the things that I wanted to make and I tried to make a few during the month.  I did an update at the end of September adding and subtracting to the list and this is what is left at the beginning of November.

Remaining recipes to try this winter:
Double Chocolate Muffins
Sloppy Chicken Joes
Baked Potato Soup
Nutella Chocolate Chip Brownies
Copycat KFC Crispy Potato Wedges
Herbed Focaccia Bread
Ready to Make Oatmeal
Brownies
DIY Shake N Bake
Soft Pretzels
Stuffing
Almond Basil Pesto

It was a great motivator to cross some things off my list.  At the end of October, I listed all of the things in this post that I made but didn't cross off the list and add new things (Oops!).  I did make the first three things on the list, as well as some other recipes that I came across through October.  I was going to make the pesto but didn't make it to the basil plant before the frost did which tends to be my issue every year trying to stretch a little bit more out of yummy basil.  Sadly, no more yummy basil and no pesto :(

November wasn't as productive with a vacation in the middle and limited groceries on hand while trying to use the things in the pantry and freezer.  I was hoping to get a little more creative but I did get to the Homemade Shake n Bake and Brownies which have been on my list for awhile.  Then with Thanksgiving, we made Stuffing from bread, Buttery Yeast Rolls, Homemade Pie Crust, and Lemon Chess Pie.

I am sure that I will add a few more to the list as the days go on like some interesting Christmas cookies.  If you have any other suggestions, please let me know because I love to try some fun recipes.  I hope that I can try more fun recipes next month despite the holidays on the way.  It might take a little more work to get there but hopefully you will see some more new recipes on the horizon in December!!
