Lucky for me the "toss together soup" from yesterday was yummy as leftovers for lunch today. One meal conquered. What next? How about some cookies!
I talked to my mom this morning and she was making no bake cookies. Mmmmmm. I looked in the cupboard and saw I had a canister of quick cooking oats. What? When did I even buy that? I pulled out pumpkin, baking cocoa, peanut butter, and a few other goodies and got to work. I made three different types of no bake cookies. The first was just pumpkin. The second was pumpkin and chocolate. The third was chocolate and peanut butter. I was hoping to use up the canister of oats but there is still a good amount left. Oh well, more cookies another day!
I had a friend and her two kids over for dinner. I made spaghetti. I used local beef and my home canned spaghetti sauce. I still have about 1/3 of the can of pumpkin left. I was going to stir it into my spaghetti sauce (I had seen it in many online recipes) but figured I wouldn't scare my friend by hiding crazy stuff in her meal. Ha. I'll figure out what to do with that pumpkin tomorrow. I went to my noodle stash and was about to reach for my typical box of angel hair (man I love that stuff) but noticed another box of spaghetti. I bought a box of spaghetti rigati on clearance awhile back but never used it because once again it is a shape I don't normally use. It is kind of like a square and ridged spaghetti noodle. Odd. Tonight is as good a night as ever to give it a shot. Uh oh. I didn't have any garlic bread. No problem. A little butter, garlic powder, and half a loaf of bread will do. Gotta use it up anyway because tomorrow is grocery shopping day! A side of corn (frozen from the farmers market) to finish the meal off.
