I am finally back to cooking! I haven't washed a dish or pan in about 4 weeks, can you believe it? Luckily, between all of the walking and hiking up towers, none of the pastries that I ate didn't pack on a single pound! I came in right at the exact same weight, to a tenth of a pound. That's crazy!
Still, I'm pretty sure that I'm a bit thicker in the middle and lost some of my arm muscle. Ick. So what does that mean? Back to healthy recipes (and the gym)!
I actually made this recipe before I left for my trip, because it's so easy with most of the ingredients coming from my freezer, pantry, and garden. No grocery shopping? Yes!
