A Little Of Everything

After a few nice hours reading, I got up to put dinner in the oven. And had a hunk of bread in the process 🙂

The husband walked in the door just in time to feed me a bite of this hot jalapeno cheesey bread he baked today 🙂 So delicious, but it didn’t go with dinner so I’m saving it for lunch tomorrow along with leftover chili!

Tonight’s dinner was a mix of favorites put together into a delicious bowl:

I baked some sweet potato and a cup of fresh cranberries in the oven at 375* for 30 minutes tossed in maple syrup, cooking spray and some kosher salt.

And tossed those with some simmered wheatberries (’bout half a cup), leftover shredded chicken (’bout 1/4 a cup) and walnuts (’bout 5 halves each) to make a warm salad –

The cranberries were superb roasted this way –

We also debuted the newest homebrew: Maple Brown Squirr-ale!! It is slightly undercarbonated, but the flavor is spot-on. We’ll be serving it to the family over Christmas 🙂 I had 1/3 of the bottle –

The conversation was flowing so I hopped up to get us another beer – this time the Dogfish Punkin Ale, which the husband thinks is the best pumpkin ale ever, but I still think Cottonwood (our local brewery’s) beats it hands down. I had 1/3 of this one as well.

DSC07177

And to top it all off, the hub brought home this surplus bag ‘o oatmeal raisin cookies! They are GIANT!!

DSC07159

I had 1/4 of one – smothered with some frozen/thawed ganache leftover from my birthday!

For some reason I’m awfully tired tonight, so I’m going to red in bed. But maybe just one more episode of Arrested Development first 🙂

    mmmmm.. Love the roasted sweet potatoes and cranberries! What a great combo!

    Giant cookies are so much more alluring than little ones!

    Would love to try this tomorrow! Did you just use one whole diced sweet potato and then drizzled the potato/cranberry mixture with the maple?

    Jaime ,
    It was 2 small sweet potatoes, about a pound’s worth. And 1 cup of cranberries and probably 2 tbsp maple.

    Heather McD,
    Thanks 🙂

    Lisa,
    The husband painted it, scanned it, shrunk it, and printed on labels.

    Kath- I tried butterscotch chips in my oats this morning…and when I saw that you only used 1/2 TBSP i was a little apprehensive that I would need more. When I tasted one by itself, I was surprised by how strong the flavor comes out, and you only truly need about 10 chips tops! Thanks for such a wonderful idea, they tasted DIVINE!
