I think I may have started a new tradition. Squirrel Cookies! 

Well Holy Poopies!

Who knew? :)

Today

is for making cookies. :)

It is supposed to storm here. So I'm staying inside and baking cookies. And maybe doing some knitting and sewing. Because that is how I roll. :)

Veggie Style. Day 2.

The Quinoa was pretty good. Except I burned the nuts. And my son wouldn't touch it. But he's 2 so what does he know? :) the boy and I had Mac n cheese for lunch, and for supper we made Chickpea Burgers, Smashed Taters and Garlicky Greens. The Chickpea burgers were fine in the taste department, but were really mushy. My hubby said it was like eating mashed potatoes on a bun. Which I totally agree with. If I were to make them again, I would make smaller patties, with more bread crumbs to firm them up. The taters were good and the greens surprisingly were yummy. Of course it could have been the 5 cloves of garlic in them. :)

Yesterday I did some sewing. Worked on some projects for my Modern Swap Partner, and some small gifts for the girls at work. I also worked on quilting a little baby quilt I'm going to throw up on etsy, because I know no one birthing a girl child.

Today my Mom has the day off, so she's on her way to visit. I think we're going shopping. :) So I'm not sure how lunch is going to work today. We'll see how it goes.

Going Veggie. Day 1

So, for supper last night we made nachos, which really wasn't something new. We've made it before. Blue Corn Chips, layered with rice and black and pinto beans, cheese, pico de galo, (which I have no idea how to spell) and homemade guacamole. (which, surprisingly I can spell.) There was a moment where everything was not okay, as one of the avocados was a little on the hard side, and so the guacamole was not as smooth as it should have been. But it was fine. I mean, not super great or anything, but as long as you picked out those harder pieces, it was fine.

For breakfast I'm making Quinoa which is a new experience. Did you know if you turned your back on it for a second it boils all over your stove? Yea. Guess I'm cleaning the stove today. Awesome. :P I bought raspberries instead of blackberries. Only because the raspberries were cheaper. So, I'll let you know how this turns out.

An Experment of sorts.

So my husband and I have talked about trying this for a long long time, and it's never happened. Well, I finally put my foot down, and starting tonight at supper time we are going veggie for one week. The rules are, if we cook it at home, it's veggie. Going over to grandmas house, or having to grab lunch because you forgot to pack yours, is fine to cheat. But, if it's made at home it's veggie. We're still doing eggs and milk.

I'm super excited to try a bunch of new recipes that I normally overlook. To try some new veggies, or to learn ways to make old standbys new again. We're trying to eat and live healthier, and this is a good way to go. I don't know how long we'll stick to it after a week, but maybe we can do many more veggie dishes per week than we have in the past. That will make me happy at least.

I'll let you know how it goes, and any new recipes I love.

Halloween

So now that I finished (just in time) our Halloween costumes, it's time to get serious about quilting again. I have a baby quilt that's only partly cut out. That baby is due in a couple of months. I better get cracking. :)
