The final baking project for today is my first attempt at a meraguine pie, using a vodka crust. Then I'll be handing it over to my father, master of grilling ceremonies. Taste of a Home's contest-winning rhubarb meraguine pie. 🍽️🍜🥧

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! For my father's notorious sweet tooth, I made the cinnamon roll focaccia bread from King Arthur Baking, modified to include cooked apples. 🍽️🍜🍏

I made this yesterday, knowing that there wouldn't be enough time after work, and it was quite delicious. Food and Wine's three cheese lasagna with roasted red peppers and mushrooms, served with a small salad. 🍽️🍜🍝

Lunch at work today: Falafel tacos-house-made falafel with spring mix, tomato, cucumber, tzatziki, topped with scallions on flour tortillas. 🍽️🍜🥙

I have to be honest with you, I was road tripping the past week. Two highlights for food, both in Cleveland: Fried pork belly, soy BBQ, chorizo-gochujang aioli, ginger apple slaw. Apple fritter French toast with whiskey sauce and blueberries. Expect recreations of these in the future. 🍽️🍜🐖🍏

Lunch at work: Pineapple-braised, slow roasted pulled pork on a pretzel bun with romaine, onion, pickles, Dijon mustard and scallion aioli. 🍽️🍜🐖

Happy National Doughnut Day, coincidentally on the anniversary of D-Day this year! If I were working today, I totally would have attempted to make fresh doughnuts to celebrate as I had done earlier this month. Instead, I supported a local bakery. 🍽️🍜🍩

Starting the day right for a long day at work: Homemade granola with homemade yogurt and local honey, topped with fresh strawberries. Cannot wait until the local farms have strawberries this month, I'm making canned jam again. 🍽️🍜🍓

Lunch at work: Pistachio-pesto pasta primavera with asparagus, red pepper and onion, topped with parmesan. 🍽️🍜

Dinner tonight is one of my favorites: Panang tofu vegetable curry with jasmine rice; featuring cauliflower, red potato, green beans, mushrooms, carrots and red pepper. 🍽️🍜

Sunday: get that bread (baking). It has traditionally been my baking day for years as it was always my day off. 🍽️🍜🍞

Trying to use leftover buckwheat flour from that fancy dinner I did last month, so I thought: Buckwheat buttermilk pancakes with WI maple syrup and butter. 🍽️🍜🥞

Fresh fritter Fryday at work again: Yeasted lemon-blueberry fritters with a lemon glaze. 🍽️🍜🍋🫐
