We make Cindy’s cranberry sauce too. Everyone has come to expect it.

Wanted something easy, healthy and used a lot of broccoli. This fit the bill and is quite delicious.

Made this cheeseburger soup at the request of my bride. Simple but very tasty homespun grub. I did put a third cup of stock in it.

Mexican Sweet Corn Cake. I saw it on Christopher Kimball's Milk Street a few days ago; it was an episode featuring blender cakes. I bought a new blender earlier this week and had to test it out.
It's quite good. Not nearly as sweet as I thought it would be with the condensed milk in it. I didn't do the powdered sugar on top for the whole cake because it gets gluey when it sits on the cake for a day or two.
Recipe here on a PBS website, though it was part of a Mexican foods episode rather than blender cakes.

And here is a video of Kimball making the cake at home in an episode of the COVID-era Milk Street at Home.

All of the recipes on that page look fantastic!
Off to buy cranberry beans because I finally used up the 10# bag of them I bought at a restaurant supply place just as the Covid lockdown began.

Turns out that none of the 4 grocery stores around me carry cranberry beans. I ended up buying them from Amazon and they’ll be here tomorrow.
When I came home and read up on them, however, I learned that two of the stores do sell them, one as “Roman Beans” and the other as “Borlotti Beans”.
Learn something every day!

@Steve-Miller said in WTF Cookbook:
“Roman Beans” and the other as “Borlotti Beans”.
The PBS link with the recipes mentioned that. I hadn't looked at the recipes other than the sweet corn cake one, so I went back after your first post and read the whole article and saw the bit about the beans; I didn't know they went by all of those different names either.
Are you doing the pork part of that recipe?
-
No pork this time although I’m sure it would be delicious. I’m on a high fiber weight loss kick and beans get the job done. I have ham broth in the freezer that I made from the Easter ham (It’s crazy good with anything bean) and it should provide the pork kick I want.
I think a teaspoon of Mexican Oregano is going to bring that recipe over the top!
If you haven’t sampled Cranberry beans I highly recommend you do. I like all beans but Cranberries are my favorite.

The beans are delicious!
