Thank you to everyone for all your kind words! Vince is doing really well and my sister is too! I am feeling really good about that and my therapy for being far away has been cooking!
Mini gluten free regular and jalapeno cornbread muffins (I am not especially proud of this, but we ate the entire pan in one sitting)...
to go with our favorite chili...
and fresh corn from the farmer's market with a baked potato for leftovers (for me)...
since I was not going to have fried chicken (now I regret letting my husband know I can make fried chicken)...
I am completely enjoying apple season...gala apples that don't taste like mush!
I bought me some pie pumpkins since I can't find pumpkin yet...
baked a fresh loaf of whole wheat bread...
today I am attempting to make this gluten free...
perfect to have with...
split pea soup (I love the yellow one that snuck in the bag)...
That about sums it up. I am baking more today! Therapy!
In other news...my DVR (which is what I workout to) broke! Ugh, the frustration...I lost ALL of my workouts! So, the past couple of days I have been putting stuff together from exercisetv.com. Not bad, but still...I lost everything. We also hiked in the woods yesterday, so that felt good. I needed the fresh air even if I am a bit of a sissy since I know the snakes were looking for me!
What do you do to keep your mind on other things?
I bake and cook as a stress reliever too. So soothing...but not great for fitting into my jeans, ha! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that the baby and your sis are doing well. That's great news. Man that sucks about the DVR. Technology certainly has its pros/cons doesn't it?! I love jalapeno cornbread. Yummy. Now if it would ever cool off enough to make along with chili... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Vince and your sister are doing well, Sarena. He looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, you know that? Your baking and meals look delicious, as always. :)
Wow, you have been busy! Everything here looks absolutely delicious - especially the muffins! The approach of autumn is making me think of breaking out the chili again soon.
ReplyDeleteThe baby is beautiful and I am happy to hear everything is going well!
Good luck to you sister and the new little one.
ReplyDeleteThose corn bread muffins look delish!
Cornbread and chili are the best combo ever. I always make it to go along with my crockpot chili! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I find that when I'm procrastinating/keeping myself from thinking about other things, that's the only time my house is ever clean. Sad but true... lol
I'm glad things are going well! Have a wonderful day!
Mini-Corndog muffins?!
ReplyDeleteSo glad Vince is doing well ... and that your family is obviously well fed!
ReplyDeleteBaby Vince is adorable!!! So glad that he and your sister are doing well.
ReplyDeleteAnd those jalapeno cornbread muffins look awesome! (along with everything else!) :)
I read. Blogs, books, magazines, etc to take my mind off of things. Reading is my outlet. And a big source of pleasure too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear he is doing well!
I just saw your previous post, Vince is so precious! I'm glad to hear he is doing well!
ReplyDeleteI love cornbread and could easily eat an entire pan alone :)
So happy baby and mother are doing well. I love to look through cook books and magazines or read when I'm trying to relax. Then there's always gossip girl episodes or other guilty pleasures that I have no guilt in... hehe
ReplyDeleteGlad Vince is doing well and Mommy too.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you found an outlet for your stress. I like bubble baths.
I'm so sorry about the dvr!!
Woah lady, you are baking up so much yummy stuff!!!!! I just love jalapeno cornbread!! I made some for Andrew awhile back and he absolutely loved it! So great with chili!! :)
ReplyDeleteSarena, I'm soooo happy to hear that your sister and Vince are doing well. I'm hoping things keep getting better and better for them!! :)
glad baby and momma are doing well. i take long walks and go to movies to distract myself, though the latter is kinda a waste b/c i always end up unable to follow!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see a happy update :) Glad everyone is doing well - and you have certainly kept busy!! Evreything looks just flawless, as always :) Look at that bread!! So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love exercisetv.com!! But, that is definitely a bummer that you lost everything :(
That pic of your little nephew is way too cute!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute lil' snickerdoodle you have there!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered corn on the cob - it tastes SO much different than regular corn. It's such a festive, eat with friends kinda food. But I've been making it once a week and eating it completely by myself! Ha!
Everything here looks absolutely delicious - especially the muffins! The approach of autumn that makes me think of the chile is again for all the good I hope soon.baby goes well for him.
