It's been a while

Since I haven't updated in so long, I have 3 different meals to add on today.

Salad

Super delicious & healthy! I added almonds, craisens, shredded cheese, sliced ham, and boiled eggs.

Burrito

I'd been craving Qdoba for a while so I made a giant Qdobs inspired burrito. Super delish! It had refried beans, spanish rice, ground turkey, corn, green peppers, and onion. I was super full afterwards.

Pizza

We hadn't made anything in a while so Sarah & I made a pizza tonight. We loaded the sucker with veggies & it was wonderful! Our toppings this time were tomatoes, green peppers, onions, and spinach. Très good! Yum.

Raspberry Spring

It's a beautiful spring day in Chicago, and i decided to use baking as an excuse to get outside. Ok, outside means walking to and from target, but still. I had been wanting to make those cookies with the raspberry in the middle but i left my new cookie cookbook at home. After mild serching online I found an easy recipe. They were really quick and easy to make, the time they took to bake was a little off, but my cookies are a little large.

Happy Easter!

Instead of doing our normal pizza thing this week we optied to make a semi-traditional Easter dinner. We went to Jewel yesterday to pick up everything we needed to make ham, green bean casserole, cheesy potatoes and rolls. It was crowded, being the Saturday before Easter and all, but not pull-your-hair-out-and-order-Chinese crazy. The ham we got did look suspicious, but we went with it anyway.

That brings us to today. Amanda started making the dough for the rolls around 1. Around 3 I started to make the green bean casserole and cheesy potatoes. Both turned out well, though not as good as my moms. I used the recipe on the back of the Frenches fried onions for the green beans and a recipe from my mom for the potatoes.

Amanda handled the suspicious looking ham and the rolls, both of which turned out amazing. The ham took longer to cook than we both thought it was but it was worth it.


After waiting extensivly on the ham we were ready to eat!

Everything tasted amazing and we talked about how we celebrated Easter growing up and thunderstorms.

Happy Easter!
