Now that Coffee has fully kicked the cooties, I’m back to cooking again! Yay! Yay!

Earlier I whipped up the usual carrot-ginger soup (it works well for freezing) with the approximately 10 pounds of organic carrots I had saved up in the fridge.

Then Coffee came home for dinner – homemade fish tacos.

And once he left for work again, I started peeling some apples so I could make Apple Scone Cake. It finished baking a few minutes ago and oh, it smells heavenly. I hope it turned out well, but I don’t want to taste it until Coffee gets home and has some with me – I prefer to share.

Just 40 more minutes to wait – perhaps I’ll meet him at the door with a plate and fork in hand in order to speed things along? Would it be wrong to meet him in the middle of the driveway as he’s geting out of the car?

Coming up in the next few days, I’ll be making my favourite quinoa stuffing (but I’m going to attempt it with RED quinoa) and I’ve got two bunches of organic bananas on the windowledge waiting to ripen, then overripen, then turn into banana bread.

I’ve also got a pound of organic ground bison thawing in the fridge (with which I’m going to make baked ziti) and I’m trying to decide if scalloped potatoes can be frozen (? anyone ?) for Coffee’s lunches next week.

The funny thing? Cooking makes me LESS hungry. I’m not even the sort of person who ‘samples’ along the way – I just find the smells and visuals fill me up along the way. Clearly the best way for me to lose weight would be to open a restaurant.

Or, maybe, cater Andrew’s life for him? He DID say he wouldn’t mind some frozen soups, didn’t he? *wink*

    In my personal opinion, it is your wifely duty to test that cake before he gets home and make sure it came out right.

    Frozen soups? What, I don’t get a shot at cake or scalloped potatoes or organic exotic meat loaf? Make ME your red quiona guinea pig! Banana bread? My middle name!! If I beat Coffee home, do *I* get some cake too?? :) :)

    Seriously… we’d be all over having you come stuff our freezer ridiculously full of unreasonably tasty and almost incredulously good-for-us food. Oooh… how about a fence-for-food swap? We should talk.

    Annika – I *knew* I should have read my blog comments before Coffee got home! All that waiting, drooling (and dehydrating) when I could have been snacking!

    It’s still a bit pre-thaw for fencing, but the apple scone cake was definitely good. A good combination of cinnamon, apples and sweet cake-ish goodness.
