I am alive

-
I realize now that it's  probably been a month since my last blog.  It is in part the fact that I no longer have the stress of school lingering over me, but instead the stress of work. I moved out the 24th of May took about a week off, and then went straight to working full time.  My hardest struggle right now is that while most of my free time is usually spent sleeping or reading.  Yes I said reading. Me, the girl who couldn't even finish simple books I've read before.  I am now 4 books down for reading this summer and it hasn't even been a month yet.  I could say that I'm proud of myself, but I know that also means that I may have missed out on other things. And right now I'm kind of okay with that.  Reading these books feel like a really good accomplishment.
I'm not saying that my summer so far hasn't been entertaining and fun, but I'm happy to be able to relax, grab a book and sit in the sun and read.

My next day off I'll hopefully have the chance to turn my computer on, load up pictures and tell you of my adventures so far.  Did I mention that because I wear a black uniform for work there really isn't much place to put clothes after work besides on top my dressers or on top my laptop, because of the two grey cats we have and their big shedding problem, another main reason that I haven't been online much.   I promise you will hear from me soon, I've had a couple adventures already, and I do plan to make more.  Stay tuned!!

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
