Simple Pleasures: Chilly Day

Today I had an amazing MORE than just a simple pleasure - BOTH boys were asleep at the same time for 30 minutes! I don't know if that has ever happened besides at night.

So, how did I use my time on this chilly fall day?

I cooked!

Buggy helped me with the banana bread before he went down for a nap.  The rest I did as they both slept. How therapeutic cooking is - especially the smell of cooking fall foods!

Just a few minutes left until it is done! Get the recipe on the "For Tummies" tab above.

Nothing says fall pampering like raspberry hot cocoa

Found a GREAT sale on whole chickens. I bought two. I probably shouldn't try to cook both at the same time again - they don't quite fit! We will have dinner for 2 weeks with this!

A new favorite of mine - sweet potato fries! Yum!  This is my lunch.

Got a pound of "Cook now or freeze" ground beef for a DOLLAR! It is simmering away in a pot becoming Cincinnati Chili. The smell will drive me crazy all day!
