<br />
They have seas of cast iron!! At least 20 pieces (ahhhhhhh) so I made eggs on a fun flat one this morning. Why I do not have any cast iron is beyond me but I WILL be getting some VERY soon!!!! <br />
<br />
So although eggs are b-oring I loved the pan so much that it made the cut for today's blog! <br />
<br />
This is my 3 year old son, Deacon's plate.... He requested his egg scrambled (I have a few fried)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-jenxnAUZoRM/T-_fYiwQG3I/AAAAAAAAAGI/3y-et3r3Q0w/s640/blogger-image--2084418806.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-jenxnAUZoRM/T-_fYiwQG3I/AAAAAAAAAGI/3y-et3r3Q0w/s640/blogger-image--2084418806.jpg" /></a></div>CandidMommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15307997697657969145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737333954537477422.post-13481466781373498292012-06-30T22:20:00.001-07:002012-06-30T22:20:58.838-07:00Day 8: Turkey BurgersSo I cannot take credit for these as my girlfriend made them.... She uses Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute and wowza they're delish!! She also has a culinary degree so ya... All of her food is truly amazing... <br />
<br />
Hers are so much more simple than our which have like 20 ingredients! The next time I make them I'll share all that we throw in!<br />
<br />
This was such a fun summer meal (and a great evening for us and our kids!)<br />

Although I swear that the smell makes me hungrier all day!!! <br />
<br />
The weather was nasty so I opted to start some soup... I started with just chicken, carrots and onion and throughout the day I added various spices, cabbage, kale, tomato sauce, roasted garlic, and I'm not sure what else... But I topped it with some parm and it was a great healthy dish that used up a bunch of our CSA veggies! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PWbXQe2uX58/T-qHCvwcHvI/AAAAAAAAAFU/A7SsTZIeoF0/s640/blogger-image--1291412163.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PWbXQe2uX58/T-qHCvwcHvI/AAAAAAAAAFU/A7SsTZIeoF0/s640/blogger-image--1291412163.jpg" /></a></div>CandidMommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15307997697657969145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737333954537477422.post-54678971908149978782012-06-26T21:03:00.001-07:002012-06-26T21:03:21.573-07:00Day 2: Steel Cut OatmealWe LOVE this oatmeal! It's high in protein, has a great texture & tastes great! The only con is that it takes about 45 minutes to cook- but it's worth it!! <br />
Today we added honey, bananas & cinnamon.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3YgoiQIAAdk/T-qGBz_YWCI/AAAAAAAAAFM/I6AYSFf9kTU/s640/blogger-image--873274358.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3YgoiQIAAdk/T-qGBz_YWCI/AAAAAAAAAFM/I6AYSFf9kTU/s640/blogger-image--873274358.jpg" /></a></div>CandidMommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15307997697657969145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737333954537477422.post-76524852794842726162012-06-23T21:54:00.001-07:002012-06-23T21:54:32.119-07:00Day 1: Whole Wheat BreadI can bake.... Almost too well at times... But me and my bread machine, well we're fighting! I am DETERMINED to master a whole wheat loaf of bread (with no funky ingredients) in my bread machine. I can make a good loaf without but I want the ease.... I want to make all of our bread from scratch (especially our sandwich bread) and in order to do it and keep it up I need a fast and easy routine.<br />
<br />
We dislike the taste or texture of all of the recipes we've tried to date (about a dozen) so I am making my own. Tonight was my first loaf with my own recipe. I think either my yeast needs a little more love or my husband really didn't use his head when he turned on the blender next to the machine to make Orange Julius (just OJ, vanilla, milk & ice)...<br />
I'll post a picture of the "cat bread" below (-; the flavor is spot on; it's soft, fluffy, and just all around amazing!! I'm so onto something here! I just have some fine tuning! <br />
