What do you home make every week?

[Gogobabyshark]

I am looking to tweak our diet slightly and add a few more home made things. What do you make as a weekly staple, recipes and storage tips? Thinking along the lines of fresh mayo, maybe dabbling in bread. Any other ideas welcome for components of meals or snacks

Soup in autumn and winter, hummus in spring and summer, for lunches.

Not every week, but I try to make rather than buy the following at least some of the time.

Granola
Bread, and flatbread
Humous
Jams, jellies
Chutney
Pickled veg (e.g beetroot, peppers)
Pesto to freeze
Semi dried tomatoes (these are properly delicious)
Cakes, biscuits
Pizza base and sauce
Boil a ham for soup and to slice for sandwiches
Salad dressings
Dips

Bread/burger buns
ice cream/sorbet
houmous
pizza
squeeze oranges a lot

(bread maker/ice cream maker/food blender)

Bolognese or chilli for freezer
Soup in batches for fridge/freezer
Evening meals from scratch every day
Occasional ready meals

sourdough, sauces of various types- pesto, tomato sauce to use as a base for pasta/pizza, tortilla wraps, ice cream, any sort of sweet treat, cookie dough to keep in the freezer and then just bake one when I fancy, pasta/ noodles, dumplings, basicallly everything from scratch 😆
I do an mis en place every Sunday so I chop up all my veg, make a couple of sauces/dressings/marinades etc to make it easy to cook in the week.

Then fill the jar with oil (olive is best but expensive) and put it in the cupboard for a week or two.

This is potentially dangerous. Things preserved in oil should be in the fridge to prevent botulism.

High-salt and/or high-acid things are usually fine at room temperature.

Granola
Soups
Yoghurt in Easiyo
Fat rascals
Coffee cake (as in the American version)
Tea loaf
Banana pancakes
Muffins
Crumpets
(Don’t make all of the cakes every week, usually just one, these are the easiest for me)

Hummus
Ranch, pesto or some other kind of dip
Overnight oats
Tomato pasta sauce
Bean chili
Bolognese
Fish or chicken fingers
Cheesecake, mousse, lemon drizzle or some other kind of cake/pudding
Flapjacks

I had no idea, thank you for pointing that out.

I've just made egg mayonnaise with red onion for the next few days sandwiches

I know the PP you asked already replied but just to add, Farmfoods often have butter at 3 blocks for £5 which is great for baking. They do salted and unsalted.

I make soup just about every week. It's lovely always to have fresh soup available.

Tomato and roasted red pepper pasta sauce once a week. DD lives on it.

I make most things from scratch weekly :

bread
scrolls
pizza bases
biscuits
stock
naan bread
Soup
granola bars
yoghurt

Things I make regularly are:

Bread

I use the no-knead dutch oven method. So one evening I'll mix 500g of strong white bread flour with 1tsp of salt, half a tsp of dried yeast and 375ml of lukewarm water. Just mix it up with a wooden spoon until all combined, cover with a tea towel and leave overnight.

The next morning put a large casserole dish with a lid into the oven to preheat at 200c. Then tip the dough out onto some baking paper, don't knead it. Carefully take the casserole pot out of the oven, drop the dough baking paper and all into the pot, lid on (remember to use oven gloves) and back into the oven for 30 mins covered and 15 mins with lid off.

It sounds like a lot written down but is about 3 minutes of actively doing stuff and gives really nice homemade bread. If we're not going to eat it all I slice it up and store in the freezer. You can toast the slices straight from frozen.

Jacket potatoes

Similarly to a PP I often bake a whole bag of potatoes in the oven and then wrap them up individually when cold then freeze. Just unwrap and microwave from frozen for 3 minutes or so when you want to eat them and they still taste oven baked.

Shortbread

Rub together 100g butter with 150g plain flour until it looks like breadcrumbs. Stir in 50g sugar. Press it together into a smooth dough but don't overwork it then roll out, cut into whatever shape you like and bake for 15 mins at 180c.

My oh is Filipino so without a doubt I home cook adobo every week and batch cook it to freeze for work, I do eat it at home though and it’s delicious 🤤

Thought of something else to add! Smoothies, and ice lollies (which are usually just frozen smoothie)

@DarkLion could I have your adobo recipe please?
