MMMM foodies🥓🎂🍨🍒🍌🍎

[thestorm]

So i thought I would ask everyone, isolating as we are, what foods are you eating, making, or craving. Breakfast, lunch dinner, a movie time snack. Me, I just cant get enough of warm baked soft chocolate chip cookies. MM-MM, and vanilla bean ice cream.With carrot cake. Whats on your top food or goodies list these days. OK, now I'm hungry for apple pie.. Peace, thestormy sunshine

[Forgot2mention]

Ooh, apple pie that sounds yummy, even better with ice cream. I have just had my breakfast, but now whilst i will be at work i will be thinking of apple pie all day or maybe blackcurrant sponge and custard, steak and jacket potato, oh dear me the list is endless. Right now i have to decide what to have for lunch ha ha

I have made “Hello Kitty Cinnamon Rolls” twice this month, matzoh ball soup, shakshouka, chocolate, dark chocolate, black chocolate, milk chocolate and coffee ☕️ ☕️☕️

Oh pic of the hello kitty rolls 😃

[thestorm in reply to DRunnerchick]

That sounds so good and sweet. May I ask, what are your hello kitty cinnamon rolls. It all works for me. I have a love for chocolate, it just doesnt love me back sometimes, LOL.. Keep on baking on, Peace, blessings thestormy sunshine

[DRunnerchick in reply to thestorm]

Hello Kitty Cinnamon Rolls are made using yeast, a cake mix, colored sprinkles as a dough base and then you make your cinnamon filling for the middle. My daughter found it through one of her IG accounts she follows and you can find the how to on YouTube. I will put up a post under my acct here with a picture of the first batch. I don’t think I took any of the second batch: We’ve had shortages in the stores here and when I shopped for the first time (making them for my daughter’s birthday) I couldn’t get a white cake mix so I ended up with a confetti mix and strawberry 🍓. The confetti was actually a white cake mix with sprinkles in it already-Bonus!! And it was on sale too. Made a glaze icing the first batch and a coffee flavored buttercream the second.

[thestorm in reply to DRunnerchick]

Thanks so much for the sweet idea. Sprinkles in the mix. Makes the goodies much more colorful, and inviting. I love strawberries, in any form or manner! Happy belated Birthday to your" daughter. Looking forward to your yummy photo. 🍰🎂🧁💗

We have baked banana bread, beetroot cake (went off piste with the recipe and threw in mixed nuts and 100% organic cocoa power - yum!) Orange cake, apple cider cake, ginger parkin and peanut butter cookies! Soda bread, white bread, whole meal bread, pizza bases all lovingly hand kneaded. (Well we’ve plenty of time on our hands!) Essentially, the contents of the fruit bowl, larder and the fridge have been made into goodies! I bought an ice cream maker for a bit of fun with the kids at the start of lockdown and using cream, eggs and milk from the local farm shop down the road, we have been busy with that too! I chucked in a massive 80% dark chocolate egg into the ice cream mix and it was devine! Off piste again with a made up recipe of fresh ginger, orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla has proved to be a winner! I’m going to have to get up now and chow down my daily bowl of porridge oats, oat milk, walnuts, local honey and banana to create a soft landing for my daily dose of steroids.....mmm 🤔I think they have something to do with all the goodie making and eating recently....notice nothing savoury in the line up above?!! Oh well silver lining and all that! Great post thestormy sunshine! 🍫🍞🥖🥞🍕🍦🧁xx

[Krazykat26 in reply to Horsewhisper]

Where r u?? I'm coming round!! 😍😹Omg that all sounds gorgeous n I don't have a sweet tooth! 😹😽😽Xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to Krazykat26]

You’re welcome anytime Kat! Bring your big stick so we can measure a 2m distance apart! 😂🤗xx

[DJK99 in reply to Horsewhisper]

Wow! I take it the fam' are doing the needing of all that bread etc! I made one batch of bread and it was extremely difficult... but v happy with the very worthy outcome (ie wholemeal with sunflower seeds etc). Yum. Can I come round too please! Slurp xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to DJK99]

Yeah - the teens get stuck into the kneading, I find it quite hard work on the hands otherwise! Wouldn’t that be fab? Everyone pile round, sit in the shade or the sun and get stuck into the very naughty ice cream, bread and cakes! Sounds like a country fete! Perhaps we could come in fancy dress and I’ll get the skittles out! We can definitely do pony rides! 🤣xxx

[thestorm in reply to Horsewhisper]

I too am coming to your house dear Horsewhisper. Me, Krazy, and the whole lot of us! We will be the spin off gang of "The Little Rascals". LOL.. Keep the o so good food vibs coming. I need some new recipe ideas, and all the replies here are tested and true. Thank you, for the yum yums peace, blessings thestormy sunshine

Hi Storm

Having some trouble eating, but oh my the craving I have are off the chart, especially shopping on line.....just have to watch quantities, which is hard..

Today's indulgence to start with I got a shipment of locally made cheese. The cheesemakers have a large amount due to the closure of so many outlets & restaurants. I wanted to support a local producer & I got so much I can share it with friends & neighbours. It is so fresh & tasty yum yum...

I am now off to make a fluffy carrot cake.

[thestorm in reply to maggielee]

I am stopping by your place too maggielee!! Sooo good!!! peace, thestormy sunshine

[thestorm in reply to maggielee]

That sounds so gouda-good!! You are in the right spirit to support the local! We here have so many agriculture properties, and sadly, the farmers are dumping product because they have no truk link transports, as so many chain of events changed the workforce of the "from farm to table" drive. They do give a lot out free, and sell to all local businesses, but many of the businesses are mandated closed. Food processing plants are on low push. So, we do support them here. Love the farm fresh foods. So nice you can share with neighbors and friends to! Me to, shopping on line, makes me hungry! Things just look sooo good.. Here's to all our foods, they are great!! Keep the goodies coming maggielee, be safe, shared, and well.Xxx thestormy sunshine

[stiff19 in reply to thestorm]

Our local Aldi store we’re giving away a pack of hot cross buns to every customer yesterday due to too many even after giving to charity and charity saying no more Thankyou. So much better than waste, and shows what can and should be done at anytime, but good on them 👍🙏😀x

[thestorm in reply to stiff19]

What a nice way for food store to share with their community patrenes. Did you eat them yet dear stiff? I agree, There is so much waist that could be put to good use on tables everywhere. Whats for dinner tonight stiff.LOL... keep on cooking, all my peace, love, blessingsXxx thsstormy sunshine

[stiff19 in reply to thestorm]

I did try one but sadly not for me, I didn’t realise they were rhubarb and custard hot cross buns, 🙈😂 so I left them for my husband and had one of our choc chip caramel hot x buns.

I’ve not felt well so husband did dinner of beef brisket burger in sesame seed brioche bun salad and new potatoes. Hopefully tomorrow I will make my firecracker chicken with rice and choc fridge cake (that’s my sons favourite so I will send him a photo 😂) we’re always sending each other photos of what’s for dinner , he enjoys cooking 👍 what goodies have you been having? I’ve fancied soft warm cookie dough cookies ever since you mentioned them 😂😂

We always ask if on a desert island but could have one meal what would it be. So what would would yours be? 😂

Love and best wishes stormy sunshine 🌞🙏🤗

[thestorm in reply to stiff19]

O' stiff, you have a wonderful hubby. He cooks!! 🤩Mine does to, but unless I am down, and out, I cook everyday.. I'm sorry you are unwell, whats going on with you dear stiff. Nice that you share dinner photos with your son, and he is a catch because he cooks too. I am surprised at how many may not cook, or where not shown how to. I our young lives, we all were taught how,. The internet has helped solved that🍜, Ok, desert island, meal, mine would be jumbo shrimp with cocktail sauce, lots of them, a steak on the barbie, a tropical salad with balsamic vinegar, apricots ice cream custard with strawberries for dessert. WOW, now I am hungry again!! LOL What would yours be??? sorry about the miss spelled words, my spell check is not working for some reason, maybe its hungry? Let me know how you are doing. All my blessings, feel better love, and peace, thestormy sunshine:😁💖)

[stiff19 in reply to thestorm]

Well.... he can cook 👨🏻‍🍳 when pushed, he wouldn’t have got any otherwise 🙈😂 he used to cook a lot but now very rarely and randomly though that’s not a bad thing 😂😂 he’s not an all rounder in cooking but must admit he makes some lovely bread and Victoria sponge👍 Yes sadly they’ve removed a lot of cooking in schools with minimal taught which is a shame as many enjoy it, my daughter did 6-8 weeks of it at school and it was great as she was coming home saying can I cook dinner 🥘😂 my son who is much older enjoys it, his girlfriend can’t cook and I think as he was bought up with a lot of home cooking he started himself and enjoys it, only I think he’d like to go home to a nice cooked meal after hard days graft , before the virus he’d still have dinner here a few times a week .

He cooks a nice curry 👍

😂😂 your desert island meal sounds great , I love balsamic vinegar 😋😋

I’m not a big fish or meat eater, so mine would be a hot vegetable curry or cheese and potato pie with a lentil Dahl and a pavlova with cream or a fruit salad with ice cream 😋

I don’t know 🤷‍♀️, I get many different symptoms but when they all come together as now it just renders me pretty useless, I think the sun may have set it off, I’m still trying to work out a cause but felt rough after sun exposure but once my dropped side of face starts to swell it I get painful headaches joint swelling, pains elbows knee ankles, toe cramps bowel urine issues, breathing probs , eye probs ear noises,swollen hands feet abdomen, nausea weird back pains and this time hot red soles of feet and hot red v on chest and nerve burning all over different areas of body and knockout fatigue. If I can push myself to be busy which I can’t always then I muddle through but after any activity I darent stop as pain and stiffness sets in .

I just don’t know what it is , daily odd symptoms I cope but when it all comes together I just struggle. The dry cough I get for weeks then goes then returns is easing now which is great 👍 but fingers hard and swollen tight again today. It’s just all too much to be taken seriously, but it is as is.i can’t change what is to fit docs ideas and until virus over and can find a go I’m stuck, I must admit virus makes me anxious too as I fear if I got it I don’t know without diagnosis if these wretched symptoms would put me at morerisk 🤷‍♀️ My husband said when they say people affected or dying with no known per existing medical conditions does that include undiagnosed 🤷‍♀️

He asked the other day was I ok, I said no I don’t feel good ,he said no I can see that and thankfully sent me to lie down and yay cooked dinner 🙈😂

Who knows 🤷‍♀️ The iron folate, and 2000mcg of vit d not making noticeable difference to anything yet that’s all my bloods ever show.

Anyway your asking is much appreciated 🙏🙏 it’s nice to air as we don’t talk about at home 🙏🙏

Nowhere near as bad as your problems so I feel bad griping but this has all been challenging and debilitating for so long, that it’s not nothing either.

Still I’m writing to you and watching a parent and two juvenile robins in the tree , on an overcast but calm day, so still have things to be thankful for, and bloody hungry after talking of lovely foods 😋😂

Omg now the smell of smoked bacon coming from kitchen (hubby) 😂😂

Soon be blackberry picking time, so looking forward to that🙌🏻 Then some nice jam and crumble 👍 though my daughter eats as many picking as we bring home 😂😂

Hope you and family doing well

Take care love and best wishes and hugs for storm 🤗🤗🙏x

[thestorm in reply to stiff19]

Hang on my dear stiff, As I love blackberrys too!! Sounds like you have a happy home, and that is like chicken soup, good all around. I will be making some bone broth for Storm, and our future uses here. We have nothing growing yet, and I believe you are fond of birds to? I have some sweet photos to post for you later,.... You have many symptoms that I get, and some specialists are spinning their heads at me to. I just keep writing them down for future use??? Hopefully your band of pains ,so sorry, and symptoms calm, you know blueberries are great for inflammation. I eat a cup full a day. It seems to help. Funny I pointed out 2 robins in our maple tree out to hubby this morning, a male, and female, looking directly to our kitchen window, Irrerny, a sing of friendship, and hope... Gota go ,dinner time here. Be well my friend, love, thestormy sunshine:)💖💖💖😁😁😁🤩

[stiff19 in reply to thestorm]

😂😂 well it could be better but it could be worse 🙏 I’m close with my kids, I’m enjoying having my daughter at home, missing my son but he moved out to their own place a couple of years ago and we’ve never missed a day texting, and text goodnight every night ever since, even when I see him in normal times .

Ooh yes stormy, apple and blackberry crumble 😂😂😋

Yes, I have gotten a bit down, frustration and anxious a bit I guess but like you say, I just also keep documenting and photographing 🙈

🐦🦅🕊 yes how ironic the robins are both outside our windows a true sign 🙏 and you bringing some sunshine in, that’s not coming in through the window today 🙏

Thanks stormy sunshine , enjoy your dinner 😋😋😀👍👨🏻‍🍳

Best wishes 🤗x

[DJK99]

Hey thestorm - All that sounds extremely tasty! I have been making bread... and kimchi! The latter stores in the fridge for months so it was done with these times in mind! It' s good for the gut apparently, which I really need help with right now... I posted a pic for you so have a look! Now what I would like........ if only I could get a supermarket online slot, would be some ice cream... but doesn't do me any good any of that kind of stuff.. so probably best I stick with my lush breakkie of canteloup melon, honey, my home made granola and Rachel's coconut organic yoghurt... with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Yum-tastic. Keep safe/well...! Dx

[thestorm in reply to DJK99]

That sounds foody good. I will pop over to see the pic. Tell me how to make kimchi, I hope I spelled it right,LOL Be well ,blessed, peace thestormy sunshine

[SashaT64]

DJK99 your brekkie sounds great! For me it’s novel for both me and husband to be home all the while. We are enjoying having time to cook healthy meals everyday and mixing up ingredients. We have a great local business who is delivering a great selection of fruit and veg to the door

[DJK99 in reply to SashaT64]

That’s great Sasha. So lovely you both have this time to experiment using your local business produce. I’ll bet your meals are delicious!

[stiff19]

The bunny pic is lovely 😍😂😂
