Cooking Weekend

I spent the weekend cooking for fun.  On Friday, I was hungry for soup.  I was wanting chicken soup.  Chicken soup with potatoes.  Creamy chicken soup with potatoes.   I just winged it with onions, celery, carrots, Yukon potatoes, half of a roasted chicken, chicken broth, half and half, and spices.

I was told by my son that there was a little too much fresh black pepper.  I said NEVER.

On Saturday morning, my beautiful wife was hankering for cinnamon buns.  So had to go to the store to get yeast and cream cheese.  Forgot to put raisins (plumbed out with Cognac) in the buns, so I put them on top of some of them.  It was ready by lunch time.

 

This picture was before I put the cream cheese icing on them.

My daughter talked about Broken Lasagna so I made some for Sunday night dinner.  Made a red tomato sauce with mushrooms, onions, celery and carrots.  Rita picked the pasta.  I had ricotta cheese and a 3 cheese blend from Trader Joes.

It was yummy.

Wonder what I will make this week?????????
