During the polar vortex I collected many new recipes to try. I made Peach Chicken (Ellie Krieger's recipe online), adapted with organic ingredients and my own homemade croutons.
I ground up the croutons in place of making fresh bread crumbs. The only fail? I should have sliced my chicken breasts thinner. They required much longer to cook, but very good. So, if you freeze your own peaches, this is a winner dinner.
Not the best photo, but I dug out one of the few bags of snap peas I froze from the garden and made sauteed asparagus and snap peas. An old time favorite when asparagus and peas are in season. I toss in some red pepper flakes.
Speaking of pulling items out of the freezer, it was a cold day, so I pulled out a turkey carcass, frozen carrots, the last bag of green beans, dehydrated mushrooms, celery cubes, other veggies, and some frozen rolls. Barley-Turkey broth soup was perfect for a cold evening.
I also pulled zucchini for a breakfast frittata, and split the collard greens for the frittata and soup.
Pumpkin hummus was made for snacking. Daughter loves to pack this in her school lunch. I love the fact it only takes 2 Tbsp. of tahini to make it too. Delicious and nutritious - using pumpkin puree from the garden.
Hubby picked up my replaced Tupperware. I already love this lady. I'm considering of hosting a party in the future with her just because she put a special gift in the bag for me. I can always gift the kids whatever I earn free too.
The special gift? It's a keychain. I collect keychains and do not have this one. Bless her heart. It just made my day.
As for the rest of the day yesterday? Well, I had to shut off the water about noon. I pay attention to sounds, and noticed our water pump running non-stop. After checking faucets and toilets....I shut it off and messaged Hubby. I told him I heard water in the wall. He thought I was crazy.
God motivated us to start a few new projects. I'll be back in a few days as we get them in progress.

I finished another pair of baby booties. Although it looks pink, they are a darker peach color

Love all your dinners and 'eats'. I love Ellie Krieger and I have some frozen peaches too! I have yet to make a frittata but that will be added to the menu. I am always searching for breakfast recipes. Hummus is not my favorite. I've tried many but for some reason I don't care for it. I even made my own tahini one time but it's just not for me.
I hope the water isn't a problem for you. Do you start your own seeds? Do you have your garden planned? Stay warm!
I also wonder if the little keychain opens, and is a little pillbox. That would be cool too.
Making too many typos I have to correct, so going to lay down for a bit and see if I can catch up on some much needed sleep. Been working a lot and have a lot on my mind, and not sleeping well at all. :(
God bless.
