Baguette has a cold, which makes her both snuggly and querulous, sometimes in the same moment. Which means that it’s not necessarily easy to cook. But since I’m making an effort to use what I have, I’m soldiering on (not right now–clearly I’m typing right now, and also we’re curled up together in front of Sesame Street).
Sick weekend aside, I am managing to cook. Last night I made tortellini soup, and this morning I made multi-grain blueberry pancakes. I know, I’m fancy–but not really, because I used a mix. However, that means that in addition to today’s breakfast, Baguette will have pancakes to go with her eggs on school days. I just made small pancakes and packaged them into Baguette-sized servings for freezing.
My own breakfast is in the slow-cooker; I’m making more oatmeal, this time with regular milk instead of almond or coconut. Why? Because that’s what I had.
It’s not that I’m refusing to buy food until I’ve used everything up. That’s just crazy talk. Also, I need more Parmesan cheese. So we’ll probably be going to the store later this afternoon.
Oscars? What Oscars?
Ha! I never even know that it’s an awards day until my Facebook page blows up.
Also, what should I feed my kid for lunch. And dinner? Pancakes sounds like a totally legit choice.
You can’t go wrong with pancakes.
Biggest surprise of last night? Baguette entertained herself throughout the red carpet, and I was able to live-blog it.
I love cooking that uses up whatever is left in the house. Sometimes it’s a drag, but lately I have been looking at it as a challenge. What awesome thing can I make out of this? Hope Baguette is better soon!
We have a lot of freezer space, and it is full. I have no excuse–I must do this!
