Cookbook Challenge: Cast iron story time

I got distracted by this that and the other thing but I was still doing various whatnots. I know. I’m so specific. School starts this week too. Hey, want to hear a story of a girl’s first use of cast iron?
Gather ’round now.
Once upon a time, a mother used cast iron to cook. Her daughter [...]

Cran-Apple Oatmeal

I used to really dislike cranberries but lately I’ve been second guessing my long held beliefs. The smell alone of this dish cooking was worth buying cranberries! I’d post a recipe but it’s a test of Urban Vegan’s new cookbook. Sorry! Oh so good.

Into the light with oatmeal

We know that natural light is the best light for photography, right? But it’s hard to get that at 9 p.m. I do get it during the day on the weekends though! So, I grabbed the camera for the simplest but one of my favorite foods — oatmeal.
Which is better?

Bright sunshine directly falling on the [...]

Oatmeal versus Oatmeal

Instant oatmeal nuked in the microwave. Splenda and milk were added later.

Steel cut oats cooked the night before and stored in the fridge in a class bowl with foil on top. Cut the congealed mess in half inside the glass bowl and pull out the half-mass to a new bowl (above). Nuked for 1.5 minutes [...]

Breakfast: Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin

“What’s wrong wit this picture?” is a game we all probably played as children. Let’s play it now, shall we?

Sausage. That’s an easy one. It’s spicy and nummy but bad for the tummy!
Biscuit. They were out of potatoes so I got a freshly made biscuit. Tasted fantastic but still not the healthiest choice in the [...]

Yet another picture of oatmeal….

I just wanted to show off my new placemat at work.

But, seriously, finally cooked up a bunch of oatmeal on Monday night, put it in a container and took it to work this morning. Now I have breakfast taken care of for the rest of the week! Check marks on my goal calendar incoming! [...]

Friday: Soft taco, spicy cauliflower and sly fruit salad

Got some exercise today in the form of Meals on Wheels. Jumping in and out of the car and running around during the heat of mid-day has to count for something!
Brought my lunch. Yay! Accomplished that part of June’s goal. Next week, let’s get the other part done! Didn’t do my water well at all. [...]

Failing to plan is planning to fail

So true. So true. I meant to cook up some oatmeal last night and put it into containers. Instead, I didn’t get home till around 7:30 p.m. I heated up some dinner (leftover loaf of meat, leftover brown rice, leftover squash bits) and reread my class reading assignment. It was a lot [...]
