Because I knew that whatever I didn't do over the weekend was going to be waiting for me on Monday. Not… Continue reading Crockpot Sweet Potato Veggie Chili
Oatmeal Bars
Saturday. I didn't think you would ever get here. Benzo and I both had stressful, busy weeks at work. So are we ever glad to see Saturday. I still might have to work a little bit today or tomorrow, but it shouldn't be anything too crazy. I will be very glad when January is over!… Continue reading Oatmeal Bars

Personal Baked Oatmeal Bowls
So this past Sunday I not only made Un-Chicken Noodle Soup, I also made personal baked oatmeal bowls for Benzo and I for breakfast. We woke up without alarms to a chilly morning and I immediately thought "baked oatmeal". I have made a big dish of baked oatmeal before and it's delicious. But I remembered seeing… Continue reading Personal Baked Oatmeal Bowls

Un-Chicken Noodle Soup

But last night I made the most delicious "un-chicken" noodle soup I have ever tasted. And now I am… Continue reading Un-Chicken Noodle Soup
