Long Time No Post

Well, it's been a little while and I've been a little busy.  I've been wanting to post pictures, but it just hasn't happened.  Here's a run down of the last month:

We had our first anniversary and it was wonderful!  He bought me flowers.  :0)

We went to Destin to see my grandparents over Memorial Day.  My grandfather appeared to be doing better than I had been led to believe, although things are still rough.  For the first time ever, I cooked more than the grandparents did.  While we didn't see any oil, we did see a school of sting rays!  I managed to get some photos, although they aren't too clear.

I had my 27th birthday last weekend and it was filled with lots of good food and wine!  The hubby even made me breakfast (twice)! 

I'm debating a bread maker.  I really want to make more fresh, healthy bread, but it is SO time consuming.  What brand do you recommend?

I'm also trying to get all my recipes organized on the computer and get ready for vegetarian month.  I'm actually super excited about it!

We're going to Michigan and Canada later this month.  It should be nice, especially the Canada part (although we are just driving across the bridge...not going much farther).  I now need to figure out menu stuff for our trip b/c the town in Michigan is one where we need to do our own cooking.  Recommendations?  Right now I'm thinking Baked Oatmeal and Oatmeal Pancakes for breakfast for two days, but I've still got to figure out lunches, dinners, and the other breakfasts.

We had a horrendous storm last night.  We lost power for two hours, which was odd as we have underground power lines.  Whatley was incredibly freaked out by it.  I also felt sick and all I wanted was yogurt.  When we finally got power back, I had my plain yogurt with honey.  I just wish it could have been Greek yogurt.  Oh well.  I obviously lived.  :0)

I really want a vegetable garden but have a very black thumb. 

Anything else you want to hear about?

You can totally make fresh healthy bread in a bread maker. It is the same bread only it does the mixing, kneading, and baking. Easy peasy, but you use the same recipes! I used to only use my bread machine recipes and then realized how silly this is.

I'm excited about your Vegetarian month as well. Be sure to share your recipes! We try to cook mostly vegetarian and only 2 days of meat a week and certainly not a lot of red meat.

If you like Asian foods lettuce wraps are pretty fabulous!
