Lunch two days ago: cabbage salad. One could call it a slaw? 

Cabbage, red onion, sliced pear, cucumber, carrot (too lazy to chop it, I always use a vegetable peeler and just make slivers that way). Oh and caesar dressing. No not made from scratch. :)

Dinner two nights ago: Pizza casserole. 

We carried the ingredients home from downtown and got caught in the rain! Argh, what a pain! We were S-O-A-K-E-D!

But the casserole was good. The cheese-y top was the best part obviously, it really tasted like pizza topping. We made it with pepperoni, onion, roasted garlic and canned mushrooms. And cheese. Lots of cheese. We tried making it healthy by buying whole grain fusilli. Hahahha...

Dinner one day ago (ok, so um yesterday): Baked oatmeal. We used those ripe bananas. I added gingerbread cookie spice. It was totally awesome, except it could have used another fruit/berry for sure. Plain banana is just kind of bland. It smelled like banana bread though = good thing. I have issues with the textures of food though and thank goodness I liberally sprinkled crushed almonds on the top (didn't have walnuts or pecans on hand) and it improved what would have been an awful texture in my book.I'll definitely make it again. Actually next week, when we are doing brunch and crafting with a friend! Yay! :)

Oh and we had this for breakfast this  morning, too. I heated it up in butter in a frying pan (we don't own a microwave!) and it was so good with berry jam!

(what a trusty baking dish that is... lol)

I have a four day weekend starting today. Nice huh.

(couldn't resist taking a picture of the new batch of pears and apples!)

I plan on painting. Yep, got the oil paints and canvases. 

I plan on finishing those two crochet pillows (the yellow one and the one for my godmother). I was so inspired by the coziness of the couch and the rain outside yesterday that I crocheted the backs to the pillows. Too tired of waiting for the right thrifted-recyclable sweater to come along. Believe you me, I've been looking for one! These WIPs just need to get on moving outta here! I have more projects to start! :)

I plan on finally maybe organizing and arranging the shelving around here. And we should think about where to hang this stuff. I am having a small housewarming party not this Friday, but the Friday after...a good kick in the butt to do that kind of boring housework stuff. Hahah. I need those kicks in the butt.

Lots of plans. 

Well, thanks for reading! See ya soon I'm sure. Hopefully with some crochet goodness? :)
