Katy Cooks! The Horror.

And you thought Halloween wasn’t for two more months!

Nope, the scares start early, I have been in the kitchen for the past two weeks, and thankfully no hospital visits have happened!

Okay, actually allow me to take this moment to give myself a virtual pat on the back. So far EVERYTHING (from meatballs to cake to lasagna to bread to pot roast) has been quite a success.

It all started when Shane (AKA best gift giver, ever) got me the greatest thing on planet Earth:

A Tiffany Blue Kitchenaid Mixer!

It came with a nifty little recipe book and I have put that to use! But last night’s dinner was Pot Roast and Homemade Bread.

I found this recipe in my Cooking Light magazine, and it turned out amazing. But I think the best part was cooking with Shane. Cooking is fun by yourself, but with someone you love, it’s plain amazing!!

Normally I don’t purchase bottled water, that’s a preparation in case Hurricane Irene does in fact make an appearance!

Before it went into the oven. I promise it looked more appealing afterwards! Though there were no pictures taken, since it took 3 hours to cook, and we were ravenous! :)

The bread may look a little haggard, but I promise you it was AAAAHHHHH-MAZING.

 

Also, please ignore my nasty hair. I promise I have washed it since… Haha.

Well, that’s all for now, folks.

My First WIAW!

Ok. I just want to forewarn everyone. I am stuck in the barracks for the next month with no access to a kitchen. So my meals are going to include lots of frozen meals/sandwiches/dry food. Just a warning!

Woot. My first What I Ate Wednesday! Little did I know that you are supposed to pre-ready this post to get it out a little sooner, oh well. Rookie mistake. Head on over to Jenn's blog for the WIAW veterans! :)

So anyways. On to the eats. :) Sorry my pictures are lame, I was at the mercy of my DROID phone (which I just adore, btw!) in a dark classroom. :)

Breakfast: Water and a Caramel Nut Brownie Luna bar. Seriously. I am in love with Luna bars. I cannot get enough of them. I should contact the company. Maybe when I have more followers! :)

Lunch: Diet Coke (not pictured), turkey and ham sandwich with fat free American cheese and spinach on a Whole Wheat (+fiber and flax) Sandwich Thin, Special K chocolate pretzel 90 calorie bar, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Chocolate Rice Cake, Mint Chocolate 60 calorie Jello mousse. (can you see a chocolate trend here?!")

Snack: Mrs. Field's Cookie Dough Delights. Super not healthy, but they are gone now, and were delicious. :)

I had some Mac-and-cheese for dinner, but no photo. Sorry! :)

Well, that's my WIAW! Next week I'll be far more prepared! :) Have a great day everyone!
