I have started a new “boot camp” like exercise program and have been EXHAUSTED for the past couple of days and not cooking. I have to put “boot camp” in quotes, because Hubby is a former Marine and says that this couldn’t POSSIBLY be anything like REAL boot camp. Maybe not, but it’s plenty hard-core enough for me – there was actually ICE on my workout mat yesterday (we meet outdoors at 5:30 am).
We don’t have much in the way of after-school activities today, though, so I’m planning on cooking something blogworthy. Haven’t decided what yet. It will either be Butternut Squash, Sage and Goat Cheese Ravioli with Hazelnut Brown-Butter Sauce or Butternut Squash, Rosemary and Blue Cheese Risotto. I have some roasted, mashed butternut squash that I prepared a while back and froze and I want to use it up. I made even do a simple Butternut Squash soup with some ginger.
I bought some plain (undecorated) gingerbread houses yesterday, too, and there may be enough time this evening for the kids to decorate them. I’ll post photos of them when they’re done, too. Will depend upon how much homework they have tonight.
Stay tuned!
