Can't Sleep, So We'll Talk Food.

Wow. Almost 3am.  My brain is exhausted, but my body won't listen.  So maybe I'll just post about what we ate today. Don't lie, I know you are not enthused.

I had these several food items on hand and nearing "expiration", if you will:

• Whole Onion
• Whole Wheat Pie Crust
• Some Half-n-Half
• Leftover Coffee *GASP*
• Heavy Whipping Cream

So I cut the Onion roughly in quarters, diced up some fresh ginger and garlic and threw them in the crock pot on high with two chicken breasts, 1/2 cup of water and 1 Tablespoon Better Than Bouillon (Chicken Flavor).  I then "X'd" five potatoes and placed them on a small cast iron skillet, dumped the crumbly WW Pie Crust into another cast iron skillet, and placed them both in the oven on 300.  After 1.5 hours Nate quickly chopped up the potatoes and the boys measured in 1.5 cups each of frozen peas & corn.  I put in roughly 1 teaspoon Real Salt, and 2 Tablespoons of Costco's Organic No Salt Seasoning, let it sit 10 more minutes, threw the pie crust on top and served up deliciousness! (Next time I will most likely plan ahead and start the potatoes in the crock pot first then add the pie crust on top of the chicken to see if we can make this a complete crock pot meal... but that is for another day.)

For our dessert I added the Half-n-Half, a bit of maple syrup, the Leftover Coffee, a dash of Kahlua and some ice and blended it in the Bullet for 20 seconds to a frothy, icy perfection!

The Heavy Whipping Cream will most likely be used for breakfast... maybe scones?
