PROJECT 366: WEEK 2

Well week 2 started off a bit shaky with my Project 366 and I almost did not take a photo on Sunday.  Scary, I know!  I was too busy cleaning the house and setting up my new office bookshelf to realize that I needed to take some photos for Project 366.  The rest of the week was busy and I seemed to have gravitated to taking many food related photos this week.  I guess my mind has been on food a lot lately.  I have been in a food rut and I’m tired of making the same old stuff over and over again so I plan to try some new recipes this year.  In addition, I started menu planning & couponing again so it’s been a foodie week around here.  So here’s week 2:


Project 366: Day 8 (8/366) – Noodle Writing - This is my lone photo from Sunday. Lucky for me, I took a shot of this noodle lying on my counter. I am amused when my food “speaks” to me. I have found faces in Jell-O and in butter containers and my kids love to make “food faces” with their pancakes. Who says food can’t be funny?


Project 366: Day 9 (9/366) – Christmas Ornament – It was finally time to take the Christmas tree down and I just love looking at all the new ornaments that we acquired this year including this one made by one of my kids.  I really love the handmade ornaments the kids make in school.


Project 366: Day 10 (10/366) – Paws – I am amused at how my dog places her paws and how she grips things with them.  Many times she has them crossed like a little lady and I think it is so cute.

Project 366: Day 11 (11/366) – Grilled Cheese – I took many food photos this week.  I found the “food” setting on my camera and I  have been experimenting a little bit.  This is a photo of Day 11’s dinner.

Project 366: Day 12 (12/365) – Southwest Mustard – My new food find is this deliciously spicy mustard from Woeber’s.  I found this mustard with a few other mustard flavors at the end of one of the supermarket aisles during the holidays.  I also have tried their Honey Mustard, the Whole Grain Dijon  and the Champagne Dill mustard but the Southwest flavor is my favorite so far.  I know they have a Horseradish sauce that I have been wanting to try, too.

Project 366: Day 13 (13/366) – Leinenkugel’s – My drink of choice tonight.  This is one of my favorite beers.  I am so happy that my SIL introduced me to this brand of beer. 

Project 366: Day 14 (14/366) – Blackened Salmon Soft Tacos – I found this recipe in the February issue of Woman’s Day magazine along with 3 other salmon recipes and I vowed to try all of them since my husband and I love salmon and I only really know how to prepare it one way.  Well, this recipe was a big hit.  Not only was it delicious, but it was so simple to make, too.  Now if only my kids would eat it.
