Where to start...

-
I think the problem for me is to where to start.  I've got pictures to share, and stories/adventures to tell but the starting is always the hard part.
Lets try with my last few days/weeks of school. Obviously there was finals. Finals, and studying, and test, and last minute assignments to be done.
There was also some packing, trying to finish up food, and use things I haven't (such as the brownie mix).
 This semester/year I had such a better time with roommates.  We went to zumba together a few times a week, had dinner together, and even went on Target runs (which sometimes got us in a little trouble).  It was really fun, I couldn't have asked for better roommates.  Our last week together we had a girls night playing cards, and having drinks, it was the funnest.
 During the week of finals housing was doing all sorts of events to help students relax and let go of the stress a little bit.  Each day there was something different: making stress balls, therapy dogs, waterslide, a photo booth, and a movie night.  Oh...and there was a make your own banana split thing too.
 Not sure why all of my pictures right now seem to be of food.  Seems like its what I end up taking pictures of sometimes.  My semester ended on what I would consider a high note, and I am looking forward to the semester when it starts back up in August.

 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...
