Raspberries have been at the market for about 2 weeks now, and I've been eating them non stop. Cereal is Kashi flakes and granola, lotsa raspberries!
I know I've said this, but I'm thrilled Ontario fruit is around. Morning fruit: One yellow, one red plum, one apricot.
Lunch again, my usual garden salad and english muffin with Laughing Cow cheese. I know this is a pretty boring lunch, but I just don't get tired of it.
Since the bugs were eating me like dinner, I thought I'd make some banana bread. I won't post the recipe, this was a fail as far as baking goes. The flavour is good, the texture is not, and I don't think it's cooked all the way in the middle. I ate 3 pieces anyway.
I had big plans for an awesome steak dinner, but as the bbq was heating up I ran out of propane. Steak on Tuesday it is! I ended up with the planned fresh dug potatoes and beans, with 2 microwaved Yves veggie dogs. Still tasty!
After dinner I had another piece of failed banana bread. You know, even failed baking isn't that bad.
Have a great Tuesday!
Jess
I don't think your lunch looks boring. Looks wonderful to me :)
ReplyDeleteI have had so many failed baking attempts. I do love banana bread though....maybe I need to bake more often and perfect the art :)
Pretty much all I eat at lunch in the summer is salad. I can't get enough of it! So I don't find yours boring at all.
ReplyDeleteI've had breads that don't want to cook all the way through before. Frustrating, but still tasty!
Baking is such a science about getting everything exactly right for perfect results--that's usually why I lean towards cooking more. At least you tried!
ReplyDeleteI hate when I fail at baking recipes, but if it doesn't taste that bad, I eat it anyway!
ReplyDeletesounds like a good day! I really enjoy the laughing cow+english muffin combo :) Your lunch is not boring! I have had lots of failed baking events in the past...whenever i try to "healthify" things...I guess butter+sugar is just meant to be added to baked goods! :P
ReplyDeleteYour lunch doesn't look boring at all. And if you like it, then why fix what isn't broken? ;)
ReplyDeleteI bet even your failed banana bread still tastes pretty good!
sorry to hear the baking didn't work out- I usually end up eating my failures anyways :)
ReplyDeleteoh man, me and fresh bread dont mix.... its a miracle i nailed Challah bread! But youre good-i cant eat the bread if its failed. its too much of a reminder that i Effed up lol.
ReplyDeleteBread is hard to perfect, so definitely don't think it's you - blame it on the bread, haha! I love the fresh fruit - summer is SO my favorite foodie season!
ReplyDeleteI never try my own baking recipes since it involves a whole lot of chemistry. Props to you though!
ReplyDeleteYour lunch looks amazing!! I've been eating the same thing over and over for lunch for a few weeks now. It's not getting old at all!
ReplyDeleteI call a baking fail a success if it's still edible!!
I still eat my "failures" if they taste good. I've had a few strange results out of banana bread and it's usually just like yours..not quite done in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI have a to-die-for banana bread recipe that never fails, if you want it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - you can't totally screw up banana bread. Even if it doesn't look right - it still tastes good!

ReplyDeleteI think your lunch looks delish! I love laughing cow cheese! We had a similar problem this week with the propane. I already had steaks out seasoned and ready, so on the stove they went--not nearly as good =(
ReplyDeleteHope things are going well... :)
