So, what else has been going on around here....besides watching some excellent NFL football this weekend! Seriously, I cannot get over how good the football has been in the playoffs.
I have been cooking like a....(blank stare)
Like a what? A chef? A short order cook? A mother?
How about...cooking like a middle aged woman, trying to eat more plants. That seems to sum it up pretty well!
Here are some fun things I made this weekend. A veggie noodle dish. Lots of slicing and dicing which I love. I took some pictures.
I also made polenta cakes with some lentil bolognese from the freezer. Super quick and very delicious.
A vegan Alfredo with mushroom and peas. This picture is terrible and it seems a little weird, right? Also weird was the recipe called for lemon zest and red pepper flakes to finish the dish and it really gave it some pizazz! I want to put lemon zest on everything now!
How about this for an odd ball recipe to try...Carrot Ginger Soup with croutons made from the leftover bread I made earlier in the week. So many croutons. This is why we can't wear small pants. But the soup was scrumptious and I have leftovers in the freezer. Why do I love ginger so much?
I also made this veggie egg scramble with blackberries for breakfast one morning.
My friend Sheri sent me this sticker. It is so perfect for me. I put it directly on my laptop!
Lastly, a few pictures of progress made in the bathroom yesterday. The electrician came by to see what needed to be done and he will be back today to do the drilling, wire running, and other electrician things.
The subfloor was also repaired yesterday and the holes where the old plumbing used to be are now covered!
I got a walk in with Martha this morning and I swear it is therapy in motion. No better way to start the day.
Today is also my niece Malarie's birthday. I have photo albums all over my house because I am going through and pulling out pictures of us and her in the pre-cell phone days. A walk down memory lane with one of my favorite people! This is me holding her the first day she came home from the hospital. I was 18 years old. I have loved her a long time and I can't wait to love her even longer.
Hope things are great in your world!
I'm drooling! Those plates of food look delicious. I love some diced, julienned symmetrical veggies. There is something wonderful about veggies all dressed up ready for the pot party. You are cooking like a beast! If you like sauerkraut try making a soup. I don't know if you eat ham or keilbasa but those are meats generally used. Onions, mushrooms, potatoes, chicken broth. sour cream, caraway seed are also part of the mix.
ReplyDeleteAwwww... look at my beautiful, innocent niece holding that sweet baby.
