Where to begin? I went to download my photos from my camera and realized I had quite a few to post about. So we will begin with my new found breakfast recipe. As many of you know I don't eat traditional breakfast food at breakfast time so here is what DH and I had for lunch today. Pecan Crusted French Toast from a new cookbook called Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. Lindsay over at
Happyherbivore posted about it and couldn't wait to try it. I have been on a waiting list at the library for a few months waiting for this book and I was notified the next day that it was in. Thank you Lindsay! Yeepee! So here we have it. This is incredible French toast and it is healthy too. I did make mine with bread I had on hand, but it could have been even healthier if I would have used whole wheat bread. Oh, by the way the book Skinny Bitch is about a couple girls who changed their lives by going vegan and they mince no words throughout the book on the why's, where's, who's, and what's to going vegan. The book uses language that I personally don't ever use, but I learned real quick that the information, the ease of reading, and the style of the writing was fantastic especially to those who are not vegan and those of us who sometimes just need a reminder of why a healthy vegan is better than a junk food vegan. I cried and was sick to my stomach while reading one of the chapters where people who work at slaughter houses gave quotes of what really goes on in these horrible places. Needless to say I would recommend the book, but it is not for children due to language. They also have the cookbook mentioned above.
We had leftover meetloaf, baked potato and our new found cornbread recipe from the
PPK kitchen. Hubby loves unbleached flour in his cornbread, but I am going to try it with whole wheat pastry flour next time. (I really don't like using the "white flour"...) It is really good cornbread.
Diann made the same bread this past week and had it with her yummy chili. Go check it out!
I know was all have baked potatoes, but this picture was so pretty I wanted to post it. Just a baked potato, chili, corn, and some green onions. Delish!
This was what I had for breakfast 2 days in a row this past week. Left over chili with some added corn, pasta, and nutritional yeast. Tasted just like a goulash dish I grew up with. Yum!
Brandie had a craving for
Susan's ribz. I can't blame her they are a regular meal for us and besides they agree with baby kidlet. Anything that will stay down with morning sickness is the way to go. I know it is winter, but when you have your handy dandy indoor grill all things are possible.
Look at those lovely grill marks. My DH got me this grill last
Christmas and I can't thank him enough!
That it for now. I am headed back to my favorite room in the house, my kitchen!
