lazy sunday


finally. a lazy day. and when i do lazy, i DO lazy! not much accomplished in the last 24 hours except for baking and watching prison break. i believe we'll polish off season one tonite. but we have all of season 2 yet to see, so that is encouraging. i feel like i'm reading a great book, and SO want to peek at the end! not yet :)

anyway, i have been cooking ALOT. i think it's starting to sink in that cooking is a handy thing to do. we are really eating out alot less, and i am snacking less too. but it does take preparation. here's what i've made this weekend:

- whole wheat waffles. i just tried adding in half whole wheat flour. maybe next time i will go for it and substitute all the flour. they were light and yummy.

- carrot bran muffins. the last batch of bran muffins was great. but i started to think about making them even MORE healthy. this recipe, however, has more oil than the last one. it's kind of a cross between carrot cake and bran muffins. oh. so. good.

- green chicken chili (thanks chris!). good stuff. easy and delish. phil won't eat beans, so i'll get the leftovers this week!

- lasagne. this works for quick meals during the week. which phillip calls "snacks." yeah. if lasagne is our snack, just imagine what our meals look like :)

- french bread...i'm getting pretty good at this, although my loaf is still a bit too dense. still. baking bread every few days. FUN.

i also botched a batch of yogurt, which is not easy to do. must have mixed in the live yogurt at too high a temp. oh well. 4 out of 5 ain't bad!

happy sunday all!

Wow, I pale in comparison! This weekend, I had left over turkey lasagna(Frozen dinner), a black olive, tomatoe, and cheese omelet with turkey bacon, and tonight I am making a twist on my famous Indian Tacos. I will give bthe recipe if it works out. Oh, and I have eaten far to many frozen thin mints!:)
