Muffins!

Yesterday I made these blueberry muffins to take to church today. They were perfect! I filled the cups up pretty high so they would have good tops like bakery muffins. Success!

Then we went on a walk and Chris just HAD to pose like this for the picture. Kohl's ad?

Saturday - work
Sunday - work
Monday - field, work
Tuesday - work, dinner with the family!
Wednesday - field, work
Thursday - BOUGHT A NEW CAMERA! PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN ON AN APARTMENT WITH CHRIS!
Friday - work
Saturday - taught a sax lesson, work
Today - audition for next semester's ensembles, work
Then back to school!

Ugh. But as you can see.. Thursday was the most exciting day! No work, and I bought an extremely expensive camera. And me and Chris settled on an apartment! Woohoo.

In food news.. I made these cookies to take to work yesterday. Green for St. Patrick's day. Haven't gotten the hang of this camera yet but here's a picture, heh.

Then today I made roasted red pepper hummus using the basic hummus recipe from Veganomicon! Good stuff.

Tofu Stir Fry

So my little bro Ben is still coming over for dinner. On Wednesday this week it was just me and him, because Chris was too nervous to eat before his vocal jazz concert haha. We had tofu stir fry with rice.

Delicious Cookies!

I made these the other day.. courtesy of Paula Deen, haha. They really are great, and I never found cookies that difficult to veganize if you wanted to.

I took them to work at my new job (Circuit City) and they were gone in less than an hour! Heck yeah.
