Wednesday's

 Today I'm thinking about my serious lack  of blogging.
Along with a lack of blogging is a lack of picture taking. Particularly photos of the amazing food I have been making! 
What did I make this week?
Caprese salad
Tomato/bread salad
Lemon Zucchini cookies
Lemon baked pasta
Couscous salad
Cafe rio style salad, complete with cilantro lime dressing


So I'm planning to make all items again, within a few weeks complete with photos and recipes!

Today

Today, I wanted to write. So here I am. I need to make lists and think of wonderful
things to cook.

I cut Mills binky today. She was less than thrilled about it.

I finally did some laundry.  My husband does need clean socks.

I'm also trying to figure out the best option for my care during pregnancy.

Midwives vs Doctors

I need to go start marinating some chicken for dinner.

The best cookies

It's been a good week. N8's Birthday went great, I made him a beanie, Meatloaf and potatoes and a Ski/Nature cake. Rachel and "Gordan" came over to hang out and we all had a nice evening. I made bread twice this week! I've also made dinner every night. I'm getting back on track with the cooking and cleaning in the new year. Mills and I have been skiing at least 4 days each week. The snow @ Sundance has been amazing this year and I hope the season never ends! I made the BEST cookies last night and I've decided it's not the recipe(although) it does help. I credit these to my new Silpat! It's made me fall in love with all things made in France. I've already had a mild obsession with french cooking and anything French. My next goal, tackle some Julia recipes this month! I really mean February.

House Projects and Skiing

This past week has been pretty good. I finally got ALL the dishes done! It only took me a few months. I didn't make a projects list so I'll do that now-
Finish organizing extra bedroom, I did a little of this
Work on N8's Birthday card his birthday is on Monday
Work on fabulous birthday cake for him!
Finish unpacking our room!
Ski- Millie has started skiing and my goal is for her to ski @ least 3 days a week!
Cooking has gone very well, I made chicken tamale pie and Banana bread this week. Photo's to come- Our computer has locked us out so I have very limited access to photos and info. Hope to have the above projects complete by next Thursday the 27th.

5 Loaves of bread

A mix of photos, but I am so impressed with myself I just had to post them all!
Millie recently discovered peanut butter, and boy does she love it! I had to keep reminding her to not eat it all off the spoon at once. It's pretty cute.

So with the peanut butter lovers pictures in between, I give you my bread! It was my first time doing the braided loaf and I think it turned out pretty good.

Thanks to Mema for the idea! I also got all the ornaments off the tree! So far I've completed a few things from my list.
Who knows maybe 2011 I'll actually be able to stick to my goals?!

Projects

My projects
* Take down Christmas decor
* Make bread
* Organize our closet
* Make banana bread
* Finish all unpacking
In order yes, to finish by the end of the week! I do plan to make bread today and take pictures of the process... for some reason I'm not good at remembering to photograph the "during" process. I also hope to keep up on posting my meals, One of my resolutions is to cook more, and different foods and of course blog about it! Lets see if I can keep to it for even a week. I may even impress myself! This past week I made a Tomato cream sauce over pasta, thanks to the Pioneer woman. I also made a delicious citrus chicken and lovely salad. I'm doing good on the cooking part, just not the taking photos of the cooking.
