Who likes caramelized onions? I eat them on sandwiches, other veggies. I am making a huge batch right now in my slow cooker.

Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions | Gimme Some Oven

Love caramelized onions! One of my all time favorite recipes is Caramelized Onion Beer Cheese Dip. Can’t make it unless I have a group over because I would literally eat the entire thing myself.

I will post the recipe later in case anyone wants to try it.

Once life returns to normal, this is something I must make for my SIL. He loves to eat, I love to cook.

After a week long of serious stress eating, I'm back on my healthy diet this morning. A bowl of oatmeal with an entire diced apple, a little honey, a teaspoon of walnuts and a healthy sprinkle of cinnamon. Half a day's worth of calories right there - we'll see how far it takes me.

That sounds good. I usually add raisins and brown sugar to my oatmeal, but I will try your version!

My mom made some unsweetened applesauce from her apple tree using the instapot and shipped me a bunch of bags of frozen applesauce. Today I made a ginger and cardamom applesauce cake with some of it. 99% of my recipes come from Cooks Illustrated, it’s a pay app so it’s hard to link them but it’s worth it if you love to cook.

The corned beef hash came from that site too, and the corned beef, the fish tacos that will be grilled for dinner tonight, the homemade pico de Gallo to go with it and curtido.

Hurray! I look forward to seeing what you bake in it. I don't have any of these Nordic Ware pans yet but I am going to order one for myself and another one for my DIL. The hard part is choosing the design.

I wasn't able to access the cake recipe, but while searching online, I found this Pumpkin-Applesauce Cake that sounds really good. It also includes ginger and cardamom.
Baking for the Firemen: Pumpkin Applesauce Cake

Here are the ingredients:
Pumpkin Applesauce Cake

1 cup unsalted butter, melted plus more for the pan
5 cups all purpose flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 TBS cinnamon
2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cardamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground nutmeg
4 large eggs
3 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 cup raisins

For the Icing:
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
16 oz cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup honey

1 cup cashews toasted

I would do a half recipe (unless sharing with others) and use pecans instead of cashews. This recipe reminds me of a cake my mother made many decades ago, but I don't think she used pumpkin.

I thawed the last of my Hickory Chicken and mashed potatoes. It sure made for a yummy lunch.

Something the recipe had me do was cut 2 oz of dehydrated apples up into 1/2 inch pieces and then boil them to rehydrate them in 1 cup of apple cider. Boil until it looks “dry” and then cool. Then combine the rehydrated apples with 1 cup applesauce in the food processor and blend until smooth. It really gave it a good flavor and might be a good variation to this recipe if you were feeling adventurous.

Now there's something I've been making more often lately .

I think I have to try the cranberry bread that someone posted about too.

Bet you could use a loaf of Rhode's Rolls frozen & get that nifty shape!

Rhodes Rolls:

Rhodes Bake-N-Serv – Home of America's Favorite Frozen Dough

A line of frozen rolls & bread dough, grease the pan, put the frozen dough in, wait for it to thaw & rise then bake.

White, whole wheat, pizza dough!

Now taste-wise I do prefer starting from scratch, but for convenience these are great.

Their recipes work fine with your own dough, too.

Good for the camper or a cabin/condo vacation, since you don't have to measure much or carry yeast.

Also good for people who are convinced that baking bread is 'too tricky.'

I have a pan that makes a house -- intended for gingerbread -- but a loaf of Rhodes works well & then you have a tasty visual joke of home-made bread.

I've used them for years but only shop in the US. Decades ago I was director of a pre-school, we had mostly low-income families. I called the corporate office & asked for coupons -- they mailed me coupons for a free product for every family in our program -- students & staff.

Handy, especially in these times.
