Today has been a busy day! This morning about 8:00 I stuck a pork roast into the crock pot to start it on it’s way to becoming pulled pork sandwiches (extremely easy recipe to be posted soon). I’d already earmarked today as a grocery shopping day, so I went through what recipes I wanted to make this week and compiled a list of all the ingredients. Once Emily was fed and happy, we headed off the the grocery store and stocked up.
Emily had fallen asleep at the grocery store, but she work up not too long after we got home. After feeding her again, she didn’t want to hang out on her playmat for long, so I strapped her into the sling and decided I still had enough energy left to make some hummus. I’d seen this recipe on the side of some cumin I bought and it looked extremely easy. I had everything but the chick peas so I bought those at the store along with some pita bread to make into chips. I’ll make those two into a post later on, just suffice it to say they’re both pretty simple.
By the time I was done with the hummus, Emily was conked out in the sling, so I took her out, swaddled her up, and put her in the swing. I decided she’d probably be asleep for a while longer, so I pulled out my mixer and decided to try a peanut butter cookie recipe that was in my recent issue of All You. I managed to make a full batch of those while Emily was sleeping. There were way more cookies in a full batch of those than I thought there would be, so now I’ve got more peanut butter cookies than I can shake a stick at.
In the midst of all this, I managed to clean up as I went and while each batch of cookies was baking, so not only do I have dinner, dessert, and a snack made, I don’t have a complete mess in the kitchen. This is probably the most productive day of cooking I’ve ever had that wasn’t a lead up to a major event. If only I had this much energy every day!
