This is my motto for the next little while. If I keep moving I won't get too antsy to have this baby, and I won't miss Travis too much while he's in the throes of his studies.
Do these paintings look familiar?
I made a little addition to them (just taped on). I think it's cute.

And last night I discovered an easy solution to having a practically bare fridge. It's called beans and rice, but it's more than just that (maybe Sarah's Hot Pot?).
I sauteed a sweet onion in some Smart Balance. Then I added 1/2 packet of taco seasoning, rice and enough chicken broth to cook the rice. When the rice was tender, I added some leftover pinto beans.
And, I had some different colored peppers, so I tossed them in some olive oil and salt and pepper and roasted them in the oven on 400 for about 25 minutes.
I like the rice with some sour cream and a little cheese and then I like to dip tortilla chips in it. There are endless topping possibilities though, like salsa, guacamole, diced tomatoes, you get the idea.

That looks really yummy, and did you know that beans and rice together make a complete protein? I have been doing way less meat too, thanks for the good example you are to me.

Sarah, I made the pumpkin bread last week and it turned out great. I was out of white flour, though and used whole wheat...it was still great! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I know how you feel. J-P is working full time and going to school full time and we never see him. Glad to see you aren't forgetting to feed yourself good food:) Hang in there and post some pics of your cute belly sometime. Before you know it, it will be gone...
