Tonight for dinner we felt like burgers and corn on the cob, but we forgot to buy corn so we just had a big salad. Plus Alex felt like baking so she made fresh bread, and even better, cinnamon rolls (that were supposed to be for breakfast, but ended up being dessert!). Max was mainly in charge of dinner since Alex did the bread and cinnamon rolls (sorry for the lack of pictures: we were too busy cooking). However, Alex is always in charge of mushrooms so she sauteed them.
Dinner:
Burgers: First step wash hands, second step: shape in circles and push down a little in the center. Next up: slice and sautee mushrooms (for topping the burgers). Burgers were served with mozarella cheese, mushrooms and of course, ketchup.
Now time for the salad: we decided to make one of my favorites: butter lettuce with goat cheese, walnuts and cranberries. We also roasted some cauliflower (because mom always wants that)
Bread course
I (Alex) started this in the afternoon because it was a little rainy so felt like a good day to bake. The recipe I made usually makes 2 loaves of bread but instead of making a second loaf, I decided to make cinnamon rolls.
To do that, after you have left the bread rise twice and split it into two pieces (one of which becomes a loaf of bread), you roll out the other piece and 1) spread with butter; 2) spread with cinnamon sugar; and 3) roll up and slice into rolls. Then you bake those. Here is the bread rising; the final loaf of bread, rolls rising and the final YUMMY batch of cinnamon rolls.
