Once again, it’s my favorite day of the week! There are some Sundays, when I am lucky enough to just hop out of bed and head right to my stove! Alas, today was not one of those days. My two year old has come down with his second ear infection since January 1st, and he is feeling very poorly. After visiting the local immediate care clinic, he’s been diagnosed and prescribed antibiotics. Now, I have learned the hard way what that means; Sean will develop the big “D”. It happens every time. I am hoping that the probiotic will combat this nasty side effect. Time will tell.

I’ll be dabbling around the kitchen today. Here is what I am hoping to do:

Mass rice production: store for later use

Sweet potato chips: the crispier the better

Canned artichokes and spinach spread or egg filling or??

Vegetable bread.

The vegetable bread will be the big experiment today. After looking at different bread recipes, I am going to try and make some kind of bread featuring Collard Greens and herbs. I once had a fantastic tomato and herb bread – and thought to my self that there must be more possibilities than just tomato!

Plus, I impulsively bought a large bunch of collard greens at the store with the intention of cooking it seven different ways this week. I just haven’t found my favorite way to eat these yet, and I would be thrilled beyond belief if I can get my children to eat this very nutritious vegetable. It has also dawned on me that I really need to stick to the beneficials for my little one until this cold spell has dissipated. Wish me luck! J
