Cooking Up a Storm

Tonight, after cooking dinner, which consisted of homemade mashed potatos, green beans, and meatloaf, I was still in a cooking mood. This NEVER happens to me. Usually after cooking dinner, the last thing I want to do is cook anything again.

The first thing I decided to cook was something totally new, whole wheat pancakes. I googled them and pulled up a great sounding recipe. After making a few, my husband walked by and "agreed" to taste test. His verdict was that they were "great, much better than regular pancakes." This is a high compliment from him. Then, I decided to make a small batch of white bean chili for me to eat over the next few days. Yummy! And as if I had not had enough, I decided to make use of 3 overly ripe bananas and make strawberry/banana whole wheat muffins. For those of you her are thinking, "Has she started grinding her own wheat?", the answer to you is "No!" I decided to make the switch to healthier eating for the family, so buying whole wheat flour from the store is a small step for me.

The muffins turned out beautifully. Thumbs up from all of the family! Maybe I will get inspired another day to cook until I can't!
