Plodding On
So with a renewed vengeance, today was okay, slightly better than recent days. Yes there is a pack of dairy cheese in my fridge, and a loaf of white bread, but that is a long story of a day that was almost wrecked. Not to mention I can just blame it on hubby right? lol
For dinner we had tvp done in a sauce Chrissy showed us yesterday. So I tweaked it, all I had was some chili prepared tomatoes from the can and ketchup. I cut up the onions, sweet pepper and threw in some thyme and rosemary and garlic. That ish smelled AWESOME! Threw in some corn and the tvp and let it simmer. It was the pale tvp to mimic chicken. Got sucked down good and asked for a second bowl by my son. My daughter who is on a shun corn campaign picked through it. They had it over whole wheat penne pasta. And on the side was good ole cole slaw, this time with less carrot and more zucchini. THAT of course was sucked down by her, of course.
My hubby had meat with his pasta and cole slaw. I couldn't be bothered today with him and tvp because I've been down that road before. Pick your battles. :)
So, here I am before bed, with a quiche in disassembled array on the counter, strawberry muffins in a container to put up. I had to make somehting to go with the kids' snack for tomorrow, I am trying to not buy $#!t to put in their bags. I just made cheese, minus the cashews. Forgot to look for some properly in the store when I went in. I remembered I needed cashews when I was at the register, but couldn't remember what for, DOH!
It came out nice though, tastes really good. Found yeast flakes by mistake in another store I went in so that prompted me to make the cheese, which was originally to go on the pasta, but I was too exhausted at the time to make it. Kids in bed, hubby in bed, these stolen moments are mine! YAY!
So, back in the kitchen. This quiche is take two, cause I have more zucchini and it was originally a hit. Plus, I just made cheese, did you hear me? This will be tomorrow's dinner with somethnig or the other I will find to go with it. But I will be that much further ahead... :D

It is amazing how simple onion, sweet pepper, and herbs always smells like the most tantalizing feast. That right there is the foundation of almost every savoury dish I know. Basic as salt. Please share the cheese recipe, too.
