My evil plan for the Grays...

[PiedPiper - Member]

Hi! This is my week with the Gray Ajah, the last (but not least) of my novice reqs!

I've actually concocted a plan for my engagement with you all this week: I will make three recipes from The Grayt Recipe Book II, and post pictures of them here! There are a few stipulations to this:

1) It must be a vegetarian recipe (because I'm a vegetarian)

2) It must be a beginner recipe (because I almost never cook)

Wish me luck!

Oh, and if you have a recipe that's not in The Grayt Recipe Book II that you think would work, post it here!

Also, one question for you all:

Do you prefer to bake or to cook? Why?

When I do get into the kitchen, I prefer to cook. Not sure why, honestly. Though, I'm a HUGE fan of the Great British Baking Show 😍.

 

I can't WAIT to see what you cook up!!

I prefer to bake. I suck at cooking, but I can follow directions like a good soldier.

 

Mushroom Burgers Recipe | Taste of Home

 

I love some mushroom burgers. I try to use three different mushrooms, for a full spectrum of flavors. mmm

These look absolutely delicious! I will definitely try them!

ooo, that's a great idea! it's great to see people using what others have shared in the receipe book 🙂

 

I do both, but baking is more for pleasure, to make something that's a treat and a bit different.

So I know that the week is up and I haven't cooked anything; it's just that I've had a very hectic schedule recently, and haven't had the time to trash my kitchen. I have no intention of bailing on my plans with the Gray Ajah -- it just might take a little longer than I thought!

We're usually too busy cooking at this time of the year to talk about cooking ... lol

Haha don't joke! I shock myself on plastic. I put it down to my electrifying personality.

I made these mini cheesecakes for our New Year's party (the kind with no guests, obviously) using @Cairos sedai's recipe. There were many near-disasters in the process, but they turned out delicious!

[Asha'man Shar'aman - Member]

Those look so delicious @PiedPiper! Now you made me hungry. 

[Elaevia - Donor]

ahhhhh! that's so awesome!

This morning I had an extra 10 minutes -- just enough time to pop @LilyElizabeth's brownies in the oven! They were fudgy and fantastic. Apparently, the file is too big no matter how much I crop the image, so no pictures. But my family and I enjoyed them very much!

[LilyElizabeth - Club Leader]

I'm glad you enjoyed them!

[Elaevia - Donor]

nooooo I love looking at pictures of brownies almost as much as I like eating them! 😄

 

and it's great that you could put them together in just that extra ten minutes - sometimes baking / cooking can be offputting because it takes so much time, but it doesn't always!
