Well, the kitchen certainly got a workout today. When I got home from the gym (my workout!) I made a batch of chocolate-chip-plus cookies (milk chocolate & semisweet chocolate chips, plus mini m&m’s) for small group this evening. Then to use up some pears I made a batch of mini loaves of pear bread. I froze all but one of the small loaves. Justin can enjoy another one (or three) while I’m away.
The kitchen was a bit of a mess by then, so I gave it a quick cleaning. Have you seen or tried these cleaning wipes? They’re great! I like the “lavender” scent, mainly because it doesn’t have a cleaning chemical smell. They were in a bundle on clearance at Target, and I thought I’d give ‘em a shot. Very handy.
Then a very yummy dinner – maple soy salmon, roasted fingerling potatoes (from Saturday’s Farmer’s Market), and a new recipe for cauliflower – roasted with carmelized onions and Spanish smoked paprika and just a dusting of cocoa powder – very unique, but also very good! And then Travis offered to do the dishes that couldn’t go in the dishwasher (I knew there was a good reason for letting him stay!

After dinner I went out to check out our raspberry bushes – what a bounty! I probably should have been checking them a few days ago, but not too many had fallen off yet. I had been planning to bring them to small group to share, but Travis would have none of that and claimed them for his breakfast!

So sometime…you need to post that maple soy salmon recipe ’cause I always come here looking for it and I think I called you at least once to get it and well…I still don’t have it written down anywhere that I can find. So post it sometime will ya? And stop making me jealous that you had someone doing your dishes.
