Taking up canning this summer helped my cause, as I made three things with my new canning set: 2 successful jams and one failed jam that was re-imagined as a sauce ((Note to self: next summer, try making raspberry and blackberry jam, jalapeño jelly, pickles, and canned spicy green beans!)). I also see a trend of making breaded things, with three different kinds of breaded chicken and one breaded vegetable making the the list.
My favourites of all the things on this list are macarons (super time consuming, but so delicious) and the crushed potatoes.
