Blogcation

My blogcation has been good and very refreshing. The kids are in their second week of school and I'm starting to figure out our new schedule. Today has been very productive. It feels good. Some days feel like you've been working all day and everything is worse than you started! I just finished making some pasta for our dinner tonight, its chilling in the fridge. Pasta salad is one of those life preserver sides. When there's nothing to go with that main course, there's always pasta salad. We like ours pretty plain and simple. I just boil some kind of small pasta, tonight it was rotini, then drain and pour Italian dressing on it then throw it in the fridge. Before I serve it, I just pour a little more dressing on it and toss. Everyone likes it so it works for us. My husband had requested Sloppy Joes. He recently got invisiline so when he puts a new set in, his mouth is really sensitive and needs easy foods. I feel funny sending him off to work with oatmeal and applesauce...but its better than nothing. The sloppy joes consist of ground turkey, green/red peppers and onions from the food processor, and tomato paste with various spices. Sometimes I make Sloppy Jose's. That's the same thing just with "Mexican" spices like cumin and such. Its so easy to make sloppy Joes like this, plus we like it better than the can or the packets.

Now that I'm back from my blogcation, I shall be writing more about my love for that little thing I like to call food. (yes, that was supposed to be a lame joke...)
