Proof. This is the meal ready for the oven. Could this look more un-Melanie? Let me answer that. No. It couldn't.
For somebody who really appreciates comfort food or southern cuisine, I was already thinking about what I could have afterwards to make up for everything I'd be missing here.
Another batch and several servings later, it's like I can't quit.
The first time I pulled it out of the oven I sat and picked at the vegetables until it was time to eat. They were really good. I went ahead and made some rice because who doesn't love rice? After I made another pot of rice yesterday, and after I finished my lunch, I decided I'd at least get a picture of the container of leftovers.
We have one serving left. Cosme has had lunch from it twice and there's one more container in the fridge for him to take tomorrow... assuming I don't eat it today. I really think this has become a thing in this house. It's fast, easy, healthy and good.
And then there's this.
I saw this on the shelf and had to get it. It's what's for breakfast this morning. Since it's a limited edition thing I'll probably end up loving it. That's usually how it works. And in case it sucks, I also picked up a package of gingerbread cookies so I can still get my fix. That's me. Always thinking ahead.
For now though, time to start that water boiling. I'll report back tomorrow.
UPDATE: NO. NO. NO. Yuck. NO.
