My Life in Photos.

This week has been so… blah. I’m totally off the diet/exercise bandwagon, as you can see from all the food-related photos below. I could blame it on that time of the month, but in reality it’s just me being me. Emotional eating. Yadda yadda yadda.

Here’s week 4 of my 365 Project… you can go back and look at weeks one, two, and three if you’d like.

Friday New Ritz crackers from Kraft. A nice twist on the original. So good with a smear (or a dollop) of Nutella or any other nut butter. YUM!
Saturday The toddler’s a little obsessed with Elmo these days. She won’t go to bed without her entire collection of Elmo-themed toys. It wouldn’t annoy me so much if I didn’t have to go hunting for them all around the house at bedtime!
Sunday Made risotto in my Cuisinart rice cooker for the first time. It turned out beautifully, but I still managed to ruin it by adding crab. Lesson learned: don’t buy crab just because it’s on sale. It’s on sale for a reason.
Monday Made soup today. Beef, noodles, veggies… turned out so yummy that everyone asked for seconds. Sometimes I’m not so bad at cooking from scratch!
Tuesday Spinach and bacon quiche is one of my fave things to bake. It’s so easy, and reminds me of restaurant food. Lunch at a quiet Parisian cafe. Ha! I used to make it with regular bacon, heavy cream, and lots of cheese, but now use turkey bacon, half & half, and less cheese. I find it’s just as good. Served with some greens tossed in a homemade vinaigrette, to me it’s comfort food x 100.
Wednesday I almost forgot to take a photo on Wednesday! I was heading to bed at 11ish, and realized I hadn’t yet picked up my camera. So I looked around and took a photo of the first thing that caught my eye – my daughter’s adorable piggy bank.
Thursday I’m always catching the girls eating where they’re not supposed to. Here, MJ’s running around with a piece of crusty bread, dropping crumbs everywhere. The only thing that bothers me more than crumbs in my bed is stepping on crumbs with my bare feet.

How was your week?
