Today's Eats

Woke up this morning - Late! Well, at 9am anyway, and had to rush around because we had nothing to eat and we needed to get to the grocery store. Once we got out and back, it was almost 11am so I decided to just eat lunch. While we were in the grocery store Ryan had mentioned that he would like to get some macaroni and cheese. Of course, I wasn't buying a box just because it had Spider-Man on it but I told him we'd make our own. Once it was made though he only wanted a peanut butter and honey sandwich so I ate it instead! Really, I don't know why anyone would make the box version when it's just as easy to make homemade pretty quickly. I boiled 1 cup of macaroni and when it was ready, I added a Tbs of butter, a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese, one slice of american cheese, and a splash of cream. Throw in a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of pepper and you can go ahead an eat it if you want to. I however wanted to add a bread crumb topping which would add a tiny bit more cooking time. I put a small amount for my lunch in a ramekin and the rest in a larger dish for later. Topped with a tsp of butter and a sprinkling of italian bread crumbs, the ramekin went in a 350 degree oven for about 10 mins. While that cooked, I sliced an all natural hot dog on the bias and cooked it in a skillet with some butter. Here is the finished product:



After lunch I went a good while before I was hungry again and, while there were plenty of healthy things for me to choose for a snack, I instead chose to snack on this:



I spent a lot of time thinking about what to fix for dinner. That seems to be the norm these days because I want to show you something visually appealing but my personal repertoire is quite shallow. At any rate, it's 9:17 as I write this and Sean is still not home so around 7:30 I decided not to wait and just fix something easy. It's not the best picture but it's a record of what I ate! LOL



A couple of slices of natural bacon, 1 egg, 1 buttermilk biscuit, and 3 chopped strawmatos seasoned with salt and pepper. Like I said, not exciting but it was dinner!

Tonight I'm going to cruise though my cookbooks and see what interesting fare I can come up with for tomorrow. Hopefully something better than breakfast for dinner.
