Ham and Bean Soup

So on Sunday, I made Ham and Bean soup. It turned out okay. Eric really liked it though. I was unsure about it at first since it requires only 4 cups of water for the broth. The consistency of it turned out okay.   Note to self next time double the recipe and use half the required amount of celery and onions. Recipe will soon follow.

Friday at last

It's Friday... Friday...Friday! Today's work week felt extra long after the shortened week last year. Since we had so much left over I didn't have to do any cooking today. I'm headed to a bridal show tomorrow with Tracy to get some wedding ideas so when Eric and I do set a date I have some more ideas. I also have a bunch of picking up to do around the apartment and some things I want to do for work like design a part two for my social studies curriculum. I'm not sure what I'm going to do on Sunday yet though, but that's the beauty of the weekend... no absolute schedule! :)

Resolution to post again.

So it's been awhile since I have posted. I kind of felt like once I got my teaching job I could no longer call myself a House Fiancee anymore. Since then though, I've decided it's still okay to refer to myself as one because I still do quite a bit of housework, cooking and laundry. Admittedly my apartment does not quite look as spotless as it once did. I've been trying to learn how to balance housework and work and been failing miserably. Any suggestions?

So sometimes towards the end of the week Eric and I make "experiments" where we combine our random remnants of our fridge and pantry and attempt to make an edible meal out of it. Last night what we had left was 1/2 lb ground beef, 2 boxes of three cheese mac and cheese and a small bag of frozen corn. We ended up cooking the mac and cheese and then combining the beef and corn in. We then added Italian seasoning, chili powder and garlic powder to it. The result was surprisingly kind of tasty. It reminded me of two recipes I found in my highly looked at cookbooks and of a Velveeta skillet meal.
It ended up being 1.66 WW points plus/ ounce so not very healthy, but it was our attempt to push back grocery shopping until Saturday and after payday.
