I don’t have a ton to report today and feel like I might be asleep early so thought I’d write.
Exercise:
I managed a slow 4.76km this morning with Dennis. His allergies are bad so he wasn’t breathing any better than I was. It wasn’t the eight I wanted to do, but it’s something.
Cooking:
After coffee, I stopped in to do the weekly shopping and got what I needed. Why is it when you think you’ve bought less, you’ve actually spent more?
I made the granola from Minimalist Baker. It tastes good, but unfortunately I forgot to spray the pan so had to pry it off the cookie sheet which means it’s not in big chunks how I like it. Oh well, not the end of the world!
I also tried another recipe from The Best of Clean Eating 2. This was for crustless quiche. It was quite easy to make, but called for ingredients I had to buy such as roasted red peppers and artichokes in water. I think next time I would just put in whatever I wanted. It called for and I used Herbs de Provence, but once again, I found this dishvery bland. We’ll see if it ages well this week.
Reading:
I finished reading Until We’re More by Cindi Madsen. It is the story of Chelsea and Liam who have been friends since she was 12. She is a chatterbox and he’s a guy of few words, but they find they can be themselves when they’re together.
It was a cute friends to lovers story, but not as good as Just One of the Groomsmen, Cindi’s newer book. I found the balance of this book was off and the friends section went on forever while the relationship part seemed rushed.
It’s an okay beach read:)
Well I’ve just woken up from a nap and I think I might go back for another one!
Have fun!
AJ
I hate when I forget to spray a pan while baking. It’s almost so simple that it’s easy to forget.
I didn’t even think of it!
Once I had a full tray of cookie dough on the pan and realized I didn’t spray it. So I took all the dough off, sprayed the pan and reput the dough on.
Oh I wish I had remembered before I had cooked it!!!
I’ve forgotten before though. You win some you lose some
Chelsea and Liam sound like me and my husband. I’m always talking his poor ears off!! 😂
The quiche looks good! 😍 Sorry it tastes bland. 😔
Lol I’m a talker once I get to know someone, but up until that point, I’m Liam.
The quiche is good, but definitely requires more spices!
I usually eat spinach quiche with some olives in it. Your quiche looks very good. I shall try it as well 😋
Yum olives in quiche! Of course I love olives in anything. I think mine would be good with some onion and garlic in it!
That’s the great thing about quiche- you can just throw in whatever you happen to have and usually they turn out great!
Yes! That’s what I usually do but I wanted to try as many recipes from this cookbook as possible so actually followed a recipe🤣
Oh Dang AJ I love the chunks of granola too! I’ve burnt mine before ..not paying attention! I’ve been doing my share of napping too these days. I need that book from long ago: Napping Without Guilt. I must say I stay awake a lot longer at night if I’ve had a nap in the afternoon!
I know! I love those chunks so was super disappointed:(
Napping without guilt sounds good. I actually didn’t have guilt this weekend though as I knew I was sick and my grandma always told me to sleep when I was sick 🤣
The crustless quiche sounds good!
It is:)
Crustless quiche sounds great! That would be a quick supper to put together.
Yes it took no time to make. I should really make it more often!
you need a siltpat! nothing sticks. I have one for each of my cookie sheets. we use them when baking, roasting, making pizza, etc…
I do have a silpat- I should remember to use it!
I am behind in Reader and it just started thundering I may be exiting!-
I bet!
