Time to catch up! No more counting.

R would freak out because I'm changing up the format at this point but the numbers really aren't working for me!

I'm so sorry I haven't written in a while!  Life has been so busy.  Can I just say again I have no idea how people do it with families!  I feel like I have no time at all.

The good news is I have been cooking.  So I have a lot to catch up on!

Let's do this one through photos...

One day I didn't know waht to make so I tossed some tomatoes with goats cheese in olive oil....

... tossed in some spinach and had a nice light pasta sauce.  Yum. 

The next night I did another omelet with spinach, tomatoes...

... and cheese, of course.  I still haven't figured out how to flip the dang things!

Roast Sunday!  I can't find the recipe I followed but it was a basic herb-crusted roast recipe.  I tried propping the beef on top of the veggies so it wasn't sitting on the bottom of the roasting pan...   

... the result was a good roast but only some of the veggies turned out.  The ones under the roast did not cook properly.  Who knew?  Ok... probably a lot of people.  Not me.

I was also going through a cheap stage so I bought this bucket of spinach one night...

... and made a whole lot of spinach salads!!!  Yum!

This was a definite success!  Homemade waffles using this recipe.  They turned out incredibly well!   

Topped off with some real whipped cream and fresh fruit they were perfect for a Sunday brunch with friends... and then family the following week!  I think I have a new tradition in the works!!

Then R was going to be at my place for dinner so I decided to make something I hadn't made before...

Mussels!  I used the Food Network mobile app and found this recipe.  The only thing is the sauce was VERY watery.  We just ate the mussels and pasta separately   

Then... because I still had some of that spinach leftover I decided to make a leek, spinach and mushroom soup using another recipe from my handy mobile app!  

Ok...  so that pretty much catches us up ... except for what I made tonight.  I'll have to add that tomorrow.  Actually there could possibly be some other pics on the camera as well.  I'll have to check and see!

This week I'm going to tackle apple pie!
