The Kitchen is my Happy Place

It seems whenever there is work to be done, I somehow remember that I need to bake something. I mean really, isn’t pie more important than vacuuming?  Here’s what I cooked this week…

• Apple pie
• Chicken & penne with pesto sauce and added spinach + salad
• Tapioca pudding
• Bran muffins
• Egg salad
• Bread crumbs
• Chicken parmesan with spaghetti & my spaghetti sauce + steamed broccoli
• Granola bars

• Breadstick croutons (see below why I won’t make them again)
• Chicken kabobs with peppers, zucchini & basmati rice + salad
• No knead whole wheat bread
• Oatmeal muffins
• Taco salad

The breadstick croutons were easy to make. I just rolled a breadstick and used a scraper to cut little pieces. I tossed them in sesame seeds and they baked up round and pretty. I put them on my salad and quickly learned that you can’t poke them with a fork. You have to balance it on the fork and you know how that went. Three of them fell off the fork, rolled along the floor (that I didn’t vacuum), most of the seeds came off and now I HAD to vacuum. Next time, bread STICKS!
