2020: Week 2

January 6, 2020 – January 12, 2020

I went storm watching at Sheringham Lighthouse. The winds were very strong and it was a king tide, so the waves and mist were incredible.

Here’s what I made over the weekend for the upcoming week.

Southwest Chicken Skillet was so easy and fast. Such a flavourful and colourful way to get some servings of vegetables.
Cornbread Muffins (Dairy free). These baked up beautifully. They are a little dry on their own, but they toast nicely and are delicious with blackberry jelly.
Chicken Soup in the slowcooker. Wanted to use up the meat off some chicken bones I had in my freezer. The flavour is hearty and comforting.
Japanese Sweet Potato Rice in the rice cooker. I made this with half brown rice and half wild rice blend. The sweetness imparted by the sweet potato was delightful. I have been pouring the chicken soup over this to great effect.
Overnight White Bread. I want to keep trying with bread making. This loaf has a lot of promise. It’s flavourful and has a gorgeous crust, but my crumb was a bit dense and chewy and the loaf was a little flat. I still have so much to learn. It makes delicious toast though.

I’m participating in an Uber Frugal Month with the Frugalwoods. I did ok with discretional spending this week except I bought Monster Hunter Iceborne on Steam. My grocery and bill spending is well in hand and low.
I’m still half way through 30 Days of Yoga with Adrienne and haven’t made any progress. I have been sick all week and didn’t want to push through with too much exercise.
