really?
OK

props to my sis for finding this- we were debating the time and temp of a meatloaf- I forgot to throw in ketchup or worcestershire (pronounced wooster-shire, trust me) sauce.


My pref. recipe site comes from Faisal's recommendation- Simply Recipes


We are having meatloaf, ratatouille, and homemade strawberry sorbet with cool whip. MMMMMmmmm. Gotta love hangin' with the fam!

Rice Drink!

This has changed my life, and definitely helped me cut back on dairy. I started buying Trader Joe's "Rice Drink" in the original flavor..for about 2 bucks a container, and only started using it once I ran out of regular organic milk. I already poured a bowl of Cheerios and figured, "hey, I have this...might as well use it"

The thing is- it tastes like milk, and my cat can't even tell the difference! She waits for me to finish my cereal, and I give her whats left. AND, there's no soy in it, its vegan, there's added B vitamins, and a whole list of perks. The biggest perk is that its NON DAIRY and I have been trying to kick my dairy habit(dairy is bad for us!)

I challenge you all to try it- its pretty awesome! (OH, and you can buy a bunch since it doesn't go bad until ten days after its opened-)

Digestive Friendly

I cooked chicken for the first time yesterday. I know! Me? The amazing chef that I am, never had I cooked a chicken? Well, I still haven't made my way up to a whole chicken, though I plan on cooking my own bird by next Thanksgiving. I needed more "digestive friendly recipes", so I bought carrots, celery, and chicken breast meat- tender size. I sauteed the chicken with garlic, thyme, basil, and some other stuff- in a little olive oil- along with some chopped carrots and celery. After about five minutes and flipping my chicken over, I added two cups of water and a little bouillon. for extra flavor. I covered this and let it simmer for 15 minutes...and voila! Quicky chicken and veggie soup. I made it again today for lunch, this time with enough for left overs. Its pretty yum!
