The hamburger chowder was a recipe I got from one of Molly Mouser's friends. It was good! I did tweak it and add some potatoes, just really looked like it wanted potatoes I can post the recipe later. I'll keep an eye on the hens, I think only one store carries them, and that may only be seasonal.

I made homemade butterfingers. They aren't as crunchy, but they were flaky. I waited until candy corn got really cheap after Halloween. I cut the recipe in half because I wasn't sure if I'd like them. Also, instead of dipping each piece I just patted the stuff into a bread pan, then melted some milk chocolate chips (a handful, didn't measure) and put it on top like frosting. I can't believe how addictive they were last night (of course, it had been a stressful day, so that may be part of it--I normally don't eat a ton of candy). Since I melted the chocolate chips in a coffee mug, I got to make hot chocolate milk with the stuff I didn't get scraped out of the mug or off the spoon--so two treats in one day www.plainchicken.com/2010/11/homemade-butterfingers.html

I made farmer's cheese today, which I will use in perogi tomorrow. It was a bit messier than I expected and the house still smells a little of vinegar but the cheese is the right taste and consistency. I guess the real verdict will be tomorrow when I make the perogi with it.

So, I'm going to go make a chocolate avocado cake with avocado frosting, since I have two avocados my dad didn't need for his guacamole. Wish me luck...! I don't have my phone, so won't be able to post pictures, but if it turns out I'll share the link

So, the cake is good Not too sweet, moist, nice chocolate flavor. I'll probably make it again. I don't think I'll make the frosting again though, it's just too sweet. Next time I'll either just sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top, or make a coconut or cream cheese frosting. joythebaker.com/2009/07/vegan-chocolate-avocado-cake/So now I've made a bean cake and an avocado cake Not sure what I'll do next.

Oh, I never posted the hamburger chowder recipe...
This is from a friend of Molly Mouser, we'll call her "D". Her son made sure I also got the bread stick recipe, both were very good. The original recipe doesn't call for potatoes, but I had to add them, because I love potatoes.
Cheeseburger Chowder Serves 6 1 lb hamb. 1/2 cup celery, chopped 1/4 cup chopped onion (white or yellow) 2 Tblspn chopped bell pepper **not in original recipe, but a potato or two, cubed 1/4 cup flour 1/2 tsp salt 4 cups whole milk 1 tblspn beef bullion 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
Brown hamb. drain grease. add veggies (including potatoes if using) & cook till tender. Blend in flour & salt. Add milk & bullion. Cook & stir over low heat till thickened. Add cheese, cook & stir until cheese is melted.
Oven Buttered Corn Sticks 4 tblspn butter 2 cups Bisquick 1 8 3/4 oz can cream corn
preheat oven to 450 melt butter in baking pan combine bisquick & corn till soft dough is formed. Roll out, cut into strips, roll in melted butter. Bake 10-12 mins

I made sweet potato/ricotta gnocchi with a brown butter & basil sauce, and it was good. My husband and I both liked it a lot more than we thought we would. I had the leftovers for lunch today, and I think I like it more now than I did after the first serving. I used this recipe, but didn't have sage and have a buttload of basil - so I used that. I'm not sure the sage would be any better. www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Sweet-Potato-Gnocchi-with-Brown-Butter-and-Sage-233379
