I like to cook on Sundays. I make a nice dinner and stuff for lunches and dinners all week. I made a batch of egg salad for sandwiches. We're roasting a chicken a for dinner, the left overs can be used in enchiladas later this week.

I picked up a couple cook books from the library. I've been trying out recipies so I can photocopy the good ones before the books are due. Today I made Apricot Almond Bread from a the original Moosewood Cookbook. It's out of print and really old. Chris gets to have the bread for breakfast. It's actually healthy, I used a small amount of butter.



In an attempt to use up some of the beets from the garden I found a recipe for Beet Brownies with
Jam. They turned out pretty good. I usually like my brownies fudgey. I can make really good brownies (it's one of the few things I can do really well). The recipe called for 3/4 cup of black raspberry jam. I had one jar of strawberry jam left from our strawberry picking last year. Since I need to make room in the pantry for the jam I'm going to make this year, I figured it'd be a good way to use the beets and the jam. The brownies are cakey and actually really good. They aren't my favorite brownies, but they are good.




Just incase you were wondering how many dishes I used while baking this afternoon, here is a picture. I even cleaned it up myself :)





As for workouts, I had a really good swim. I swam 3500 yards. I wanted to do more, but the coach was late and we had to pull tarps. I will be so happy when it gets warm enough to not have to pull tarps in the morning before practice. Afterwards I came home to baked French toast courtesy of my loving husband. Now if he could just stack the tupperware, he'd be perfect :)
