Kitchen Organization

Well my kitchen is pretty organized.  Mainly cause I only just started using it recently after a 6 year standoff.  But I need some sort of outside influence to organize the rest of my clutterzone or- the rest of my house! So here goes. Thanks A Bowl Full of Lemons for the 21 day challenge.
We'll attempt it. I say we, but really just ME since the Toddler ain't helpin!

Souffle? Suuuure.

Everything on the Kraft Foods website is easy to make.  Sometimes TOO easy.  I've grown weary of some of their multiple choice dinners.  Been there, done that. I made Enchiladas darnit, from scratch darnit, with two children awake at the Witching hour [I love you Rants from Mommyland] darnit and BY MYSELF DARNIT. I was abandoned by the male species. Grumble.

Ok so I was looking for a breakfasty idea on the kraft site because I just couldn't get creative with scrambled eggs for breakfast AGAIN.  I stumbled on this recipe for Cheese Souffle.

C is for Cookie.

Everything about butter and sugar is wonderful.

Coffee and toast

Cinnamon toast. Elevated to a new level of deliciousness.  Thank You Pioneer Woman for increasing my butter purchase for weekly consumption. I stole and adapted my creation from PW's Cinnamon Toast the Right Way. I needed to change the recipe because otherwise I'd eat all 15 1/2 slices by myself and allow the Toddler to at least  t a s t e  it.  I also adore bubbly hot brown sugar.  See Apple Crisp.

My Baby Can Break-dance

She totally does. Its really funny.

Except the only part she can do is lay on her belly and lift her legs up in the air like you took a freeze frame of a break-dancer.

Yesterday nap times for both girls were relatively at the same time.  Perfect time to try out the Pumpkin Muffins from Juggling Act. Thanks Jackie, they were delicious. I'm also happy on the decision to make half. I would have eaten them ALL. YUM!
I also decided to make Enchiladas for dinner.  Thank you Pioneer Woman for making my mouth water.

Giving credit

Hubs got in on the, making dinner thing.  He even took his own photo so his dinner creation didn't get left out. How sweet.  Dinner WAS sweet!  BBQ Bacon, Chicken & Pineapple Pizza.  Something we've had before but Hubs found a recipe that added a little Umph to it.  Cajun seasoned Chicken! Oh and BACON!

He had book-marked the recipe and stated we had no Cajun seasoning.  I was pretty sure in my growing arsenal of spices we had Cajun seasoning deconstructed...  So I told him to consult the all knowing Google Search.  Compare a few recipes for Cajun Seasoning and I'll just make it now. How long could that take?  In retrospect it would have made some super cool spice photos if I had thought about it before my brain sent the message to my hand to stir the bowl. Oh well.  I do however now have my personal stock of Spicy Cajun seasoning! It certainly has a kick!! Woo!
