The kids wanted mac and cheese, but being tired of yellow stuff, I found this Vegetable Mac and Cheese recipe. We used the Ronzoni Garden Delight pasta which supposedly has a serving of veggies. The kids loved it.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake
I generally avoid coffee cakes since they take so long to cook. But this morning I woke up early enough that I decided to give one a try. We had some sour cream that needed using, and I found this recipe at Two Peas & Their Pod, where I’ve seen some other great recipes, so I decided to give it a try.
We ate it up too fast to take a photo…it was really good (besides, Two Peas has great photos of this)! I added a little extra cinnamon and skipped the glaze, but other than that, followed the recipe.
Carrot and Leek Fritata with Taragon
This recipe from Martha Rose Shulman turned out really well. Ours may not have been as pretty as the NY Times photo, but it sure tasted good!

Honey Yogurt Waffles
We made these Honey Yogurt Waffles this morning. I modified it a bit, doubling the dry ingredients and bumping up the wet, but not double…should have taken better notes…The outmeal adds a nice texture and they turned out really nice and brown and crispy–maybe the yogurt or honey?

Sweet potato chicken curry
I mostly followed this recipe from myrecipes.com, but after sauteing the onion and browning the chicken pieces, I threw everything in the crock pot. I turned out really well, and made for a nice quick dinner when we got home.
