Leap Day....hard to believe March arrives tomorrow. My academic year is 2/3 of the way over - that is really tough to wrap my head around. And Hannah comes home from college for spring break on Friday! The year is rushing by!
It was a busy week here, full of therapy appointments, meetings, and lots of fun things nearly every evening. I am glad it is the weekend and the pace is a bit lighter Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Yes- Monday is included in this weekend! It's the icing on the cake - Monday off of school. Although I don't have work, we still have a full day off planned - therapy, hair cuts, dentist, board meeting. And Owen and I hoping to cook another batch (maybe 2) of the best enchiladas ever!
This week I tried a few new recipes and found 2 keepers! One flop, chili mac, was fine and Owen really enjoyed it, but the rest of us couldn't vote it a keeper. So, not everything I make earns keeper status and a home here on the blog. We do try to be choosy!
The first keeper is a pancake mix. If you love pancakes but want the ease of a mix, this pancake recipe is for you! We tried is last Sunday and are using it again this Sunday. And even better - we will still have two batches left! Nothing better then cooking once and making a mess in the kitchen when it produces multiple batches.
The second keeper is a new side dish. My family loves potatoes of all varieties and in various preparations. I tried a new twice baked potato recipe and it was fantastic! They are a bit of work, of course, but all twice baked potatoes are! It's in the name, after all; you cook the potatoes two times! In my opinion they were well worth the effort and easily earned keeper status from all of us.
We are planning on grilling out tomorrow since the weather is forecasted to be beautiful! Maybe we will find another keeper - fingers crossed!
Happy Cooking!
