Productive Saturday

After a long week, it was a relief to have no plans today.  I was able to rest (I think I'm getting sick), get some reading done, lots of cleaning, and lots of cooking.  This weather is perfect for staying indoors.  Plus my husband is working a long shift this weekend -- lots of me time.

I made pesto for the very first time.  It was fantastic -- thank you for the cookbook, Holly!


I made a double batch so that I could freeze some in ice cube trays for small portions with pasta during the week.


I also made vegetable lasagna -- by the time it was finished I was too tired to eat.  I'm assuming it's good.  It's not charred, at least.

Finally, I made cranberry/orange biscuits.  They ought to be good in the morning.
