Meatloaf Win!

I made the best meatloaf tonight that I have ever made.

1lb ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 sleeve wheat crackers, crushed
Italian seasoning
garlic and herb seasoning
garlic salt (just a tiny bit for the salt)
ketchup
cayenne pepper

Pre-heat oven to 375, line glass baking dish with foil.  I also spray it with cooking spray, mine tends to stick.

Mix the egg, ketchup and herbs together, add the meat then the crackers, mixing well in between.

Dump it in the pan, shape it, sprinkle a little extra garlic salt on top and put ketchup on it for good measure.  Cover it, and bake for 1 hour.  I added julienne potatoes on each side.  Yummy!!!!

Catching up

School's out for Spring.  I escaped by the skin of my teeth.... with three A's and a B+.  Yeah, I'm damn proud of that.

Garden's in and stuff's growing.  Gotta get the rest of that in too.

I'm also going to try to catch up with my crochet.  I have three blankets to finish before I'll let myself start doing stuff for me.  There is a hat that I really want to do, so I should get cracking on those blankets, huh?

Gonna post more recipes when I can.  It's difficult enough right now to cook, let alone post what I cook.  Zach's on the crap shift- 2:15-11:15pm.  Ugh.

Last Month of Classes

For this semester, anyway.  I'm slowly going mad, but I have two semesters to go, then I'm done and will walk next spring.  Can't wait.

Will try to get some more recipes up in the mean time.

First day of Spring!!!!!!!

Lets not be like last year, kay Mother Nature?  Lets have a good year so I can get in all my gardens and enjoy the weather instead of being terrified of it.

Brown Sugar Pork Chops and Apples

6 tablespoons brown sugar

6 tablespoons butter

dash of cinnomon

dash of nutmeg

1/2 tablespoon soy sauce

2-4 thick pork chops

1-2 sliced apples, depending on amount of pork chops

preheat oven to 350.  combine first 5 in a sauce pan, bring to boil.

place the sliced apples and pork chops into baking dish.  drizzle sauce over the apples and pork.

cover and bake 45 mins.  uncover, bake 10 mins one side, flip, bake 10 more minutes.

serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

Catching Up

As opposed to Falling Up.  (hehe, Ash)

So, finally got done with the semester from hell.  Thanks to a crappy class load combined with Zach switching to nights, this semester was pretty bad.  I'll be happy to have passed my classes this semester, sad as that sounds.  I have also decided that SQL is the devil.  

Next semester should go lots better.  I am taking all night or online classes.  I'll be taking Network Security, Windows Professional, A+ Software and Sociology.

However, first I have to get to the first day of the spring semester.  Monday the 19th, Zach and I will be going up to Mountain Home VA center for me to have surgery.  A breast reduction.  Needless to say, I'm a bit on the apprehensive side, but am very much looking forward to it.

What I'm not looking forward to?

Being an invalid.  I hate feeling dependent on someone for everything.  I also hate hospitals.  Tomorrow I go to have a mammogram done.  We'll also head up for overnight lodging Sunday.  Other than that, I plan on loading my eReader down with books and hoping that I'll be able to crochet.

I know I have not written much here, I think it's going to have to wait until after school is over. But! New recipe in the Fish/Seafood section. Baked salmon and veggies. There is also a new recipe in the Meatless Dishes section: Parmesan Roasted Potatoes.
