Joining in with the wonderful Jane at Taingamala for InstaTuesday...(Don't you love the name "Jane"? So classic.)
These were my Friday morning pancakes with strawberry preserves. You might say, "Wow, Kristin, what terrible photography skills you possess."
Not true. I have superb photography skills via the iPhone (don't we all?).
I just like to keep things dark around here in the morning hours.
I drink my coffee and read my blogs and eat my dry cereal by the light of the MacBook.
I baked cookies on Friday night.
Somehow, one batch of cookies required almost 2 bags of Kisses. Odd.
A confession:
I would like to say that I've been cooking and baking.
I haven't been.
I've lost almost all desire to do so, and I don't. know. why.
Well, I have been cooking a bit. But I haven't been creating. This really bothers me. And makes me feel awfully slacker-like.
It's like every creative bone in my body is gone.
Plus, with the holiday season coming about, it's like the dessert blogging world is ON LIKE DONKEY KONG.
And I don't have it in me this year.
Not with me trying to eat healthier (seriously).
And me finally getting my abs where I want 'em.
And my paleo-ish eating husband not wanting fudge and ice cream cakes for dinner.
I mean, I eat a lotta sugar, sure. But I generally eat it and I'm done. I don't spend all day playing with the sugar (though I do spend all day looking forward to it). That would hurt me more than it would benefit me, you know?
And I'm not GOOD at food blogging.
It's stressful to me because I have that "job" thing. And a crazy t.v. watching habit. And spend a few evenings a week at the gym.
Maybe I'm just lazier than I used to be.
Thoughts???
What have I made lately?
Chicken Taco Soup. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten, let alone made in my crockpot. Do yourself a favor and make it today. I froze most of it.
I made two pans of lasagna and froze it. 8x8 pans, so one recipe.
I made Crockpot Pizza Soup and froze it. Minus the noodles. Noodles never freeze/reconstitute well, so I'll add them at serving time.
Apple Breakfast Quinoa was good too. It's basically this breakfast quinoa, which I made a year ago and loved. I haven't eaten oatmeal in ages because I think my body has started rejecting it, so maybe I should go the quinoa route more often.

Like I said last week, you NEED to make these Sweet Potato Chips. I've been eating 3 yams a week this way.
I plan on making this Cheesy Vegetable Soup. Do you think it'll freeze well? (Maybe I should omit the potatoes.) I have no use for a giant pot of soup on any one particular day.
Oh, what's that? You want a weather update?
...when I went to school yesterday morning at 8am.
31* and wore shorts to the gym.
It was 24* when I left the gym.
Until the snow flies. Promise.
