Wednesday and Thursday were long days at work. One day we ate cereal and all went to bed early. I can't remember what we had the other night, but I was in bed by 7:30 both nights.
Now for the wrap. Remember last week when I got cabbage in my bountiful basket. I thought of making egg rolls. Well we never made them until tonight. The hunny is busy frying away after I wrapped them all up. We used this egg roll recipe (Steamykitchen.com "my-mothers-famous-chinese-egg-rolls")
However, we didn't buy the fancy egg roll wraps that she talks about we just used the regular old wrappers you buy in the produce section. We also used up some almost turning veggies in ours and some beautiful red peppers that we got in our basket today.
The filling tasted so good, I can't wait to eat them.
Tomorrow is my baby's 3rd birthday. I will be making a dinosaur track cake. Hopefully it will turn out like I want it to.

Soup weather is upon us
The soup is on! It rained on and off all day with a couple spots of snow. I love having a nice bowl of warm soup when the weather is yucky.
Tonight we had chicken noodle.
2 cans of chicken broth
about 1 can of water
1 can of cooked chicken breast (or any cooked chicken)
veggies from the bottom of the fridge(tonight celery, onion, and carrots) I also like the starchiness of potatoes, but we were out.
about 1/2 box mini bowtie pasta.
heat broth, water, and veggies until boiling, add pasta. Cook until al dente. Throw in a sprinkle of greek seasoning (I told you we use it a lot) Done!
Greek seasoning in explaination. The one I use is Cavender's. It is a well rounded spice. It has major hints of sage, onion, and parsley.

Halloween night- 5 minute chili
As my family returned cold and hungry from trick-or-treating. I had the moment of panic. "What are we going to have for dinner. "
Chili was the perfect answer it was nice and hot to ward of the chills of the night. Hearty enough to ward off sick tummies from too many sweets, and I can cook it in 5 minutes.
5 minute chili
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can red beans with liquids
1 can diced tomatoes with liquids
about 4 tablespoons chili powder.
Heat until hot and bubbly, top with cheese! Yummy and quick!
