Week 2 Sunday

Fun day of food!  Here's a quit shot of our kitchen, so you get a sense of the operation.  It's a great space, and a fun place to cook.  Good to be putting it to better use again.

We improvised a bit today to use up some food in the fridge from last week. 

For breakfast, I had a quinoa-egg-spinach-feta thingy I had frozen some time ago for Nora for a quick meal. Yum.  

 

For lunch, I made the asparagus soup that was on the schedule for today, since I had some free time between sessions. Śo easy and good.  Scott especially loved it.  I also had my leftover tequila shrimp and rice from our Friday takeout. 

Continuing our food fest, I made the strawberry quinoa muffins.  I have mountains of gluten-free flour here of every variety, so opted not to peri chase the quinoa flour. Instead, I used 2/3 cup almond flour and 2/3 cup of a GF all-purpose flour. We had them for a mid-afternoon snack.  They were delicious!  While I may not be a consistently great cook, I do love to bake, and I've become a great GF baker thanks to Nora.  Almond flour was a game changer for us.

I also finally got some mint tea, and made a batch.  So tasty, so thanks for that suggestion.  I'm not sure what got into me, but I put some artificial sweetener in there.  Not a good choice.  Tomorrow, I'll make it with just a splash of honey.  Rachel really liked it too.

Just made the tortilla lasagne for dinner.  Really, really good.  I added a green bell pepper, as I had one that needed to be used.
