{this little guy is a mole, he was pictured in my gardening catalog and I just had to draw him}

I’ve been trying to stay home on Sundays (or at least out of the office), so no posting drawings on Sundays. That seems reasonable.

Sunday was pretty busy, but really fun. We had a great charity sewing workshop yesterday for ames c.art. We made 25 hats and 18 scarves for the Emergency Residence Program! They were so happy to have them when I dropped them off last night.

I came home and made dinner. A full dinner. Table set with a candle and everything. A great pasta with toast and salad. The homemade dressing was way to vinegary, but the rest was delicious. I’ll post the recipe for the pasta next week for the thrift kitchen thursday on craft leftovers.

I starting making banana bread for dessert, but we were out of eggs! So I tossed the batter in the frig and made up the grocery list for the week. I mapped out the whole week’s worth of meals and Jason and I went grocery shopping. Then I finished the bread and knit for the rest of the evening. It was wonderful!

I came up with a new meal plan mapping plan {expect a new printout soon, haha}. It’s divided into 4 catagories: Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Dinner. I make a general list of things to have on hand for breakfast, lunch and snacks, then plan 3 main dinners to cook. Then I schedule the dinners so they make sense with my schedule for the upcoming week.

I’m going to try a few new recipes this week:
Hummus from the Vegetarian Lunchbox
French Dressing from the Vegetarian Lunchbox
Smoky White Chili with Potatoes from 125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes
Escarole salad with apples and pecans from Everyday Food Jan 2009
Salmon with escarole and lemon from Everyday Food Jan 2009
