a month...

It has been a month since I posted anything. I haven't really shopped or planned in a couple months. I haven't really even tried any new recipes. I've been very lazy, but I'm starting to get back into planning, etc. Last night I made burgers, but not just any burgers. Stuffed hamburgers.
Ground Beef, seasoned with salt and pepper made into 8 equal patties. patty + a slice of mozzarella, a slice of tomato, a slice of mozzarella again, and top it off with another patty. seal it up really good and season the outside of the burger with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. cook approximately 5 min on each side (makes 4). it was a quick cheap and yummy meal. we had some store bought onion rings with it.

I ordered a box of food from angel food ministries this month - a trial if you will. I pick it up on Saturday. For us, one of their boxes will probably stretch about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks. for $30 that isn't bad. after we decide if we like it, we'll see about ordering it again in November... possibly two boxes. The pick up date for the month is so late i should be calling it December, 'cause that is when we will be eating it, but for now I will try not to confuse myself or anyone else.

Two weeks ago I made a "fake" chocolate pie. chocolate pudding in a jiffy pie shell with cookies n cream... uh well cream, on top. Last week I made cinnamon rolls. They didn't turn out great, but still good. (of course I made some sans cinnamon for you know who...) This week I made a box chocolate cake with homemade raspberry syrup on it/in it (I had to do something with the raspberries we picked!). Its good but sticky, but good. It will be breakfast for me for the week.
Yesterday I also made homemade applesauce, mostly to give to Keira, but I will definitely be enjoying it too. I still have a ton of apples and need to find something to do with them before they go bad. I would try my hand at an apple pie, but i would be the only one eating it, and a.) i don't want to more of a cow than I already am, and b.) it would end up going bad before I could consume it all, that is of course, assuming I don't eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dessert with dinner. (Don't put me past it... I've done crazier things)

That's all for now as Keira is trying to help me type!
