Yummy fall foods!

Yesterday was an awesome day for cooking!  One of the big perks to living with the BF is I can cook things that I had always wanted to, but I knew that I couldn't finish by myself.  Case in point: Chicken Pot Pie!

This recipe was awesome.  One of those things that you can't wait to eat for lunch the next day.  I left the peas out and I actually used turkey breast.

I also remade this!

This is seriously one of my favorite desserts right now.  It has such an amazing blend of flavors and it's really good for fall.

And of course, a puppy update video of our baby, Ollie.  He's starting to get really wild!!

Tomorrow is hump day!  Yay!

Sloppy and spicy.

Ugh.  I used to really like my human behavior class, but it has become a major borefest.  I was so happy to get out of there and home!  I worked out today and it's been a while.  My neck has been acting funny and the workout made it feel really weird.  Not sure what that's about.

Dinner was another one of those meals that I have been making over and over again for the boyfriend.  I based this off of Rachael Ray's recipe in The Big Orange Book, Sloppy Buffalo Joes.  Here's the original recipe.  I modified it so that it I only put in onions, Frank's Red Hot, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth to the ground meat (I used turkey tonight).

I like putting the chopped up pickles and blue cheese crumbles on top.  Yummy.  I served it with some tater tots with Old Bay, my love.  I also had a few crackers with cheese after my workout.

I'm so used to getting a lot of replies right away when I post, and it's been really slow.  I know this is only my second day back, but I'm trying not to get discouraged.  I want my community back!

I have to be at the hospital in the morning for my internship.  I'll really need to get around to updating everything and everyone with all of my life changes since May!

Back in the game.

I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to get back into the swing of this! I haven't taken food pics in months or had to think about writing. It's very strange. I want to play catch-up and talk about what I've been doing since May, but I think that's going to have to come bit by bit.

We went to see Where the Wild Things Are last night. It was pretty okay. It really wasn't a kids' movie in my opinion. Pretty serious and deep. I'm not really sure how I feel about it, but it was definitely interesting. I slept in this morning and then needed to get up to start studying for the 3 midterms I have this week. Breakfast was a whole wheat english muffin with PB.

Lunch was leftover from Friday night. I've made this lemon pepper shrimp pasta like 4 times in the past 6 weeks. It's good, but I make it more for G.

We went for a much needed grocery shop at Wegmans (I love Wegmans!). Loaded up on a lot of stuff. I'm definitely trying to think a little more healthy. I haven't really gotten too bad, but I'd like to get some more fruits and veggies and less artificial stuff. Since we moved, I've been trying to plan dinners out for the week to make shopping a little smoother and less wasteful. So far it's worked pretty well! It's nice to live with another person who will eat the leftovers :)

I was super hungry when we got back from the store. I had some Kashi crackers (sort of like Triscuits) with Laughing Cow.

For dinner, I made a recipe that I found in Every Day with Rachael Ray in the November issue called Cheesy Rice Fritters. The recipe that they have has a LOT of cheese and oil, so I cut both in half and used turkey bacon instead of real bacon as the recipe had called for.

They turned out pretty well! The fritters are served on top of sauteed spinach with red pepper flakes. We also had a couple of little crescent rolls.

My snack was a bowl of dry Raisin Bran Extra.

This is an okay cereal, but Raisin Bran really has a lot of sugar and addititives that don't need to be there!

Alright, that felt a little foreign, but it'll all come back to me! Thanks to you guys for sticking with me :)
