Hello all! It’s been almost a month and a lot of cool things have been happening. Jonathan and I purchased a house–yay!—and are now trying to find a subletter for our apartment. We are moving mid-February. I am also done with my part-time job so now I am writing full time. It’s exciting and surprisingly difficult—not the writing so much as making my own schedule!

Because of all of this running around and saving money, dinner around here has been simple and cheap.

The makings of deliciousness: pork tenderloin + QUALITY root beer + 8 hours on low

Then add some Rich & Tangy...Mustard based BBQ sauce...

Finish with Easy Slaw (Miracle Whip or Mayo + white vinegar + salt/pepper + sugar...all to taste), a whole wheat bun and a pickle

Man! That was one filling and satisfying supper. Jonathan loved it, and it might have been the easiest dinner I have ever made. Yum.

For lunch today I had a frenchie meal:

Scrambled Eggs with goat cheese, salad greens with avocado, tomato, red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt/pepper

Yum. I’m really loving the egg + goat cheese combo right now. It’s full of protein and fats, but it’s not too heavy. Perfect pregnant food.

Tomorrow night is another simple dish: bean and pasta soup. It’s supposed to be cold and rainy, so I think it’ll be perfect. Off to watch TNG with friends…though I’ll insist on Bones next
