Hey all -

So I love good food and I like to cook - and since I am stuck at home, it is the perfect time to make those hard, time consuming meals.

I'd like to know what is your go to for these times? Simple hearty ingredients for me at the moment because it's still more on the chillier side here in Wisconsin.

Like today I am going to attempt to make a "From Scratch, Creamiest and best Chicken Pot Pie". The crust is a friends Mother's flakiest Egg Pie Crust... Tested and tried.

I am so excited because the sound of Chicken Pot Pie but the only one I've ever had is the "Madame Curie" pre made ones. And those are not amazing. Since I did not grow up in America - And it's not something we eat in Switzerland.

So hopefully this will be a success!! I am going to try and post a picture of my pie-adventure and let you know how it all turned out!!!

And PLEASE let me know how you are cooking away the worry and stress of the whole quarantine situation. :)

That's great! I have been trying new recipes too. I made Chef John's red beans and rice last week, from allrecipes.com. It is really delicious. I also made mashed potatoes and baked some beef. Today I'm making a big pot of dhal (Indian lentils) and a new one, Ethiopian collard greens (gomen wat). There are a lot of savory oatmeal recipes for dinner (for example, with ginger mushroom and spinach) so I might try that later in the week.

I spent some time in Turkey and was missing some of the food. There is a dish called Ezme, it is like a Turkish salsa. It is so good. I like to serve it with tortilla chips and even sprinkle with some chopped walnuts.

The other thing I made just today was called Simit. It is like a sesame bagel. The sellers walk through the markets calling out, "Simits, simits" and carry them on huge trays on their heads. It was fresh baked and wonderful. They turned out great and both recipes can be found on Ozlem's Turkish Table. She is an amazing lady. Her cookbook which was released this year has a #1 rating. On Facebook she always answers questions about her food. Her blogging has great pics. Her is a picture of the simits I made today.

Sorry this is a repeat. I tried to edit the pic. and ran out of editing time and so there are two identical posts.

Here is the challenge. I saw these amazing baked fergosa on My Modern Met. This baker creates these works of art. I posted them on Facebook and my friend challenged me to try to do it. I will send the challenge out of all of you.

And to be really clear, I didn't bake any of these. When I do try one I'll post it and you can all have a good chuckle. :)

WHY did I come look at this thread first thing in the morning before eating????? :unsure::unsure::unsure::LOL:
@laughingheart those breaded works of art look wonderful! Do you have the recipe for the dough?
What a great idea! Since the kiddos are home from school the rest of the year, their art teacher has struggled to come up with stuff for distance learning and has encouraged them to get creative with whatever they find.
I think this could be a fun project for that!

Once Upon a Chef also has a good recipe. I think bisquick also has an easy one.

Bisquick Buttermilk Biscuit mix is the foundation for the best channel catfish bait I know of.

I'm impressed! Will be looking for it, or, maybe you could set up an internet business to serve we non-Aussies?
