Proud of Myself

I did something last week that I'm proud of. I fixed a huge meal from scratch including a recipe that I made up. I'm usually too tired to fix anything to fancy for dinner after dealing with a baby all day. Last week though, I made an entire meal. I made some homemade bread in the bread maker. I made some chocolate cake with homemade frosting. I made pecan-crusted chicken. This was the recipe that I was trying to make up. I have had this at a restaurant in San Marcos and loved it. Mine didn't turn out the same, but it was pretty good. I'll have to experiment with the recipe to get it exact. I grilled some squash. I also made some sugar-grilled asparagus that was really good. I cooked up pasta (from a package). I also brewed some herbal tea. I was exhausted by the time I sat down to eat though. Needless to say, the next night I just threw some burgers on the grill and some beans on the stove. I'm trying to figure out something to fix tonight. However, it won't have that much going on. I can tell you that much!
