WOW! I have been absent from this blog for a long time! I have been cooking though. Am super behind on the Barefoot Bloggers recipes. I did make the Lemon Chicken recipe last month though. It was very, very good. I forgot to get a photo though!! I think my husband took a picture, but am not sure that he still has it. Very easy and yummy. A super combination.!
I’m starting back to work full time tomorrow. It’s been five years since I worked full-time. There are good and bad things about it . . . but I’m hoping that I will be able to be more organized and be able to continue to crank out the BB recipes!
My Curry Experiment has continued. I made one of Ina’s soups — a curried butternut squash soup. Yummy. I got to use my immersion blender for the first time. I think I bought it last spring with the intention of making soups, but this is the first one I’ve done that needed it! So it was fun to use, and the soup came out well. I bought the squash at Trader Joe’s already cut up. That saved a lot of time. Trader Joe’s is good for that sort of thing. Here it is in all of its glory!
I didn’t do quite as much holiday baking as I would have liked. So busy. Lots of family visiting. I did have Thomas and Kallie over and along with Nick they decorated quite a few sugar cookies. They had lots of fun. I tried the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix and was pretty impressed with how they tasted. The dough was very easy to work with. Here are some pictures . . .
Here are some pictures of the end result:
Happy New Year to all! Will be writing again very soon!
