(layered ingredients: biscuits, pizza sauce, mozzarella, & pepperonis:)

Carrabbas...

12/14/11... Celebrating a semester complete!!! <3

Christmas party spread.. 12/10/11

The deliciousness and hospitality of Arlene & Henry... <3

How to justify buying Oreos...

Buy them for a little snack... And give the rest away!!!

(kept a few out for each of us and took the rest to the studio for all
the late-nighters they've all been working!!)
<3

Bean soup... and snacks...

Supper on the go... Me to work and Jeremy to school! It does the
trick!! <3

Freezer full...

Mom & Dad did it again last time we visited home (for thanksgiving)...
We brought back a cooler with all this homemade goodness...

And the leftover tenderloin from Wednesday night supper lasted us at
least three hearty meals!!

Edemamea

Our favorite vegetable snack lately...
Grocery store. Frozen foods. $1/bag!!
6 minutes in the microwave and YUM!

Update/PS- I haven't found them for $1/bag since. Clearly they were in season/on sale those weeks... still inexpensive, but not quite that awesome:)

Dad's sauce..

Mmmm!

Supper & hot tea delivery earlier :)

Burrittos & study snacks...

I love making burritto meat out of ground turkey- it's so filling,
yummy, and healthier than ground beef!

I also love cilantro in those guys.. Makes it better for sure!

Found some more gummy bears for J too.. "the good kind"!! :)

Stovetop Popcorn..

We've had a lot of popcorn and tea lately. & I love it!:)

Pumpkin cake...

These two things go together like peas & carrots!!! Mmmmm!!

(only issue is that I should have baked it in a much bigger pan- or
split it between two pans) ... Other than that, pure goodness!!

Tortilla soup & burrittos..

Brought supper to J tonight so he can keep working and prepare for his

review tomorrow.

These guys are working so hard..

Glad to at least get to hang out and be in the same space (& bring him hot food:)!

<3

Rotisserie chicken

I finally got us a rotisserie chicken tonight!!! Oh man it was good!!

And we have plenty left to work with for a few more days.. I'm thinking chicken soup, but we'll see what happens!:)

Cereal with banana

Our daily breakfast lately (since we used our last piece of bread
Saturday)

Thankfully we happen to love cheerios with bananas!:)

[don't worry, I bought some more bread today, I just got a little
delayed because I came home and slept on the couch last night instead
of going to the store!:]

Bean dip...

I made a bunch of bean dip Sunday night for our holiday meeting at
barnes, and brought a lot of it back home with me!
Sooo, this was our supper tonight!:)

Chicken pot pie...

The actual casserole kind...

This thing lasted us 2.5 days (Sat. Sun. & lunch today)... & I think we ate it twice those first two days!!:)

It's so nice to have something prepared and ready to just grab and heat.

Wonder what this week will bring!:)

Alfredo chicken & turkey burgers..

These were the two main meals I cooked last week!

alfredo chicken with artichokes

The turkey burgers were great! One pack made 6, so we ate three good times off them!! And Jeremy liked them too!!:)

But he actually loooved the Alfredo chicken with artichokes... I'll definitely be buying more of that soon, so we can replay the goodness:)

Saturday

Our coffee maker burned up:( so we had to get a new cheapy one:)

hurrying to work, I left J to fend for himself.. :)

The CRM had a school event, so the day was good and busy!

and I even made it home to make black bean burgers before Saturday-night-church.
<3

Friday- review day

B: peanut butter & banana sandwhich

L: lunchboxes (it's been a turkey wrap week)

S: dad's sauce and meatballs with noodles

8:30 pm- passed out for almost an hour :)

Busy busy Thursday..

Folded, or 'throwed over,' pb&j for breakfast.. (my favorite:), lunch
boxes, and Chipoltle or supper!! Mmmmmm!!!

Then back to work for J and a little bit of downtime for me!

I think I forgot about Tuesday...

Wednesday I made a chicken pot pie (the casserole kind) for our friends from church (hence the canned food collection on the counter).

Their new baby was two weeks old this day and I had signed up to bring a meal...

We ate some usuals:

yogurt for breakfast,


lots of lunch box snacks for the busy day,

and then I left J some soup & leftovers for supper since I was working that night.. <3

Monday..

Toast, lunchbox, Soup & leftover potpies:)

Fuuuull breakfast!!

Of course we both had to work today, but we had just enough of a late
start to fit in a full breakfast!! :)

PB&J for the lunchboxes... (And the coworker who saved the day by
having a GPS plug!!!!:):)

And then mom's vegetable soup & quick cornbread for supper before
getting back to reading and drawing & 'making mail' :)
