I like food.

My goal for the last two days off from work, was to try something new from my Pinterest boards. I decided to do some new (and old) recipes. {Food for the win!}

Although one thing was actually not food itself, but a way to make food look a little cuter. I did this to some boring cheap paper plates for a plate of cookies I took to a church activity.

As for recipes:
Two days ago I made this Lemon Pepper Chicken recipe. Very easy. We even used our apartment complex BBQ for the first time! We were pretty excited about it.

Today I re-made vegetarian chilli, and also the pork recipe I've blogged about before, which is currently in the crock pot. We've having the missionaries over for dinner tomorrow night, and so it's in preparation for fish and pork tacos tomorrow! Mmm MM!! More excited about having the food than having 4- 19yr old boys in my house. Uh, I mean....

This evening I made cookies that I found the recipe for in a magazine I was skimming through, but I found the recipe online, so there you go. I improvised with the chocolate- I melted mini semi-sweet choco chips I had left over, and then used left over milk chocolate chips for the Step 2 for chocolate. I also didn't use Ancho Chile Pepper, and added a little more cinnamon and flour. Still turned out good! Tacos and Cookies? hmm..

Oh, and "Breakfast Cookies" I don't have a link, so here it is:
1.5 cups of oats
2-3 super rippened bananas
1 cup of unsweetened applesauce {didn't have that, used almond butter instead}
handful of craisins
cinnamon
just throw everything together, mix it up pretty well, throw it on a baking sheet at 350 for about 35 minutes

I only put them in for 30 minutes, and they were plenty done. They are kinda crumbly, but I still liked them.

Mm food.
