A Bit Of Each Day.

=> Why hello there! It's been a while hasn't it? Did y'all miss the delicious food? Well we havn't, we've just been keeping it a secret from y'all :p
Well now its back to business then...

=> The post that was meant to be for September 20th would have been titled "Salmon, Broccoli And Cheese, With Mac And Cheese And A Side Of Biscuit."
Oh my what a super long title...

As always, we eat what we have so the only thing that's new to this blog is probably just the strawberry rhubarb jam for the biscuits and the mac and cheese. The jam's from H and the mac and cheese was Sidekicks. *drools thinking of the jam...*

Salmon was cooked as per the last salmon post.
Broccoli was blanched then covered with a bit of cheese.

=> September 22nd's post would have gone something like this "Japanese Stirfry"
So we're discussing what to have for dinner via text with me thinking that E was home, so I was all "yea sure rice with stirfry sounds good." E wasn't at home... so we made educated guesses as to working the rice cooker and the rice to water levels. Good news is, the stirfry turned out yummy; bad news is that E missed out on a GREAT dinner conversation about cadavers. (heehee)

Veggies and chicken from our fridge (see past posts for pricing if need be)
Stirfry sauce was made by combining soy sauce, Kraft's mandarin orange salad dressing, and hoisin sauce

Chicken gets cooked first then add the veggies and sauce, cover and simmer until tender. Cover cooked rice with stirfry. Can't get simpler than that =)

=> Tonight's dinner holds German roots with a take from spaghetti. This posted as itself would have been titled "Spaetzle Bolognese With A Muffin Ending."

$2 dozen eggs (or something around that maybe, we've bought too many eggs to keep track)
Bolognese was heated up from our spaghetti bolognese day
Spaetzle was made fresh by combining eggs and flour

Our batch was made from 6 eggs; add flour until a pudding-like consistency. Place into a spaetzle press and press over a pot of boiling water. Just like all other fresh pasta, gotta remember that it doesn't take long to cook.

Dessert tonight was Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins taken from a recipe called Make-It-Mine Muffins (aka outlined items that you could place into the batter and you mix and match as you wish).

Not sure if you can tell but the muffins were topped with a crumble top... just with white sugar instead of brown since we didn't have any. Yes, as E also pointed out they're made with REAL fruit!! Not like a certain beloved franchise that we Canadians are obsessed with...

$1.97 strawberries
All other ingredients we had in our stash

Now that we're all caught up,
Remember! You don't need to be Marie Antoinette to eat cake! Arrivederci,
