Edit: Okay, my post was a bit big. Sorry. I like cooking! Cutting back a bit.

Breads are good. I like making kneaded, no-kneaded, flat, tortilla, basically any bread. Here are some of the easy bread recipes:

• https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/peasant-bread-recipe
  Easy bread recipe. Easiest one I've ever found. It has the texture and lightness of a kneaded bread.
• https://alexandracooks.com/2018/04/28/easy-no-knead-brioche-rolls-overnight-and-refrigerated-or-not/
  This feels like you're making a science experiment, but then you get to eat it later! Nothing better than a science experiment you can eat.
• https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/rye-puff-pastry-recipe
  This is a really easy, quick pastry with rye flour. It has a nice nutty flavor and soft texture. It's good for sweet or savory.

A few treats:

• https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/193307/easy-mochi/
  Easy mochi. It cooks in five minutes, and it avoids all food allergies. I'll sometimes skip the flavorings and use a little rosewater or two teaspoons of cocoa powder.
• https://www.thespruceeats.com/nova-scotia-oatcakes-2215585
  Very easy to make, and I like how they're salty-sweet, but not too much of either.

Otherwise, for real food, I like making stews and soups, including curry and chili. Most of those don't follow a recipe, though. It's very easy to make enough for a few days.

I've come to realize that I am kind of a terrible cook. On the other hand, my son has stepped up and become a truly wonderful cook! I do have a few good recipes, though - usually things that make a HUGE pot and can feed the family for days. Here is one that's especially good when the weather starts getting chilly.

• In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion and celery until softened but not brown.
• Add potatoes, broth, liquid from corn, carrots, S&P, basil. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until potatoes are just tender.
• Brown sliced sausage pieces in a fry pan (if using), add to chowder.
• Add cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup.
• Simmer until potatoes and carrots are done to your desired level of mushiness.
• Adjust seasonings if desired.
• Add some of the grated cheese and the milk powder to portions of soup/potatoes in the blender. If the chowder is too thin, you can put more through the blender to thicken, if it is too thick, add broth/water. (As an alternative to the blender, you can use an immersion blender. They work wonders!)
• Finally, stir in the corn. Serve with loaf of good bread.

[quote=Goldia]I am so excited to get a few new recipes from this today - can anyone say ulterior motive?! [/quote] I keep periodically re-checking this thread throughout the day for the same reasons HAHAHA

Just started learning the art of sourdough, so have been a bakery in my own kitchen lately!!

[quote]What do you like to brew up in the kitchen?! Favourite food / recipe etc - feel free to share![/quote] My favorite go-to that isn't like. One of the quick, throw it together in 20 min meals is Autumn Medley! I'll link to it [url=https://www.budgetbytes.com/oven-roasted-autumn-medley/]here[/url] but its basically just throw some sausage and fall produce on a sheet pan, season it all, throw it in the oven for 20 minutes, take it out and slice the sausages, then throw it back in for another 20 and serve over rice or potatoes! The recipe calls for sweet potato, apple, and red onion, but I don't like onion myself. Just sweet potato and apple is REALLY good, but since my sister doesn't like baked apples, our go-to is usually sweet potato and squash, which is SO good. The squash has an amazing taste when baked and I definitely recommend it!

I love cooking, this is the question for me! I want to share some links to my favorite recipes. Limiting myself to three, so I don't go on forever. I like soup! And rice things!

• White Chicken Chili — my favorite soup to make!
• This cute little comic that shows how to make a really wonderful pork and cabbage over rice. I prefer using loose pork sausage or ground turkey instead, because ground pork gets really greasy.
• Chicken Enchilada Soup — honestly one of the easiest soups to make, especially if you used canned vegetables. Topping it with avocado is delightful.

Oh this whole question has me hungry. I love stealing everyones recepies getting inspiration for my own kitchen!

Lately I've been on a big honey kick. So honey lattes for alllll the coffee needs! Just a basic latte, but stir in some honey with the espresso when it's piping hot. Delicious.
