Mommy, you're the best cooker ever!




Shh, don't tell him. He thinks I am just the greatest and that a lunch like this is magic. You should see his face when we stir the tiny bit of cinnamon sugar into his all natural apple sauce. I need to work on getting green and using less packaging, don't I?


Contents of this oh so special lunch-

2 turkey hot dogs from trader joes
1 all natural apple sauce with about 1/2 t cinnamon sugar mixed in.
1/2 C almonds with sea salt
1 danimals drinkable yogurt
1 bowl of ketchup


Since I didn't go food shopping in the monsoon yesterday, we are a bit short on fresh food. For dinner I am going to use what was left of that meat sauce I made with Philly Cream Cheese, to that I added a can of petite diced tomatoes and a half pint of Ricotta I had left in the fridge. I just needed to stretch it a little and it was a bit too meaty for the kids, who ate well but left a pile of meat on their plates after. So I made some whole grain penne (The yellow box with the added protein), tossed it with the sauce in a 9 by 13 pan and topped with shredded mozzarella. I think I may have to make those pop overs again to go with it. I am addicted!

Comfort Food

Tonight I am trying this, doesn't it look yummy! I wonder if the kids will eat it. I know they will like if they try it. I am thinking of making rice and broccoli with it.

Sounds good, doesn't it? I have breasts in the house, but I bet thighs are even better.

I need some new cookie recipes. Do any of you have any good ones?

I am short winded today, sorry. Feeling a little dried up. Hopefully the chicken wont be dry like I am. ;)
