Sometimes I Like to Remind Myself I Can Cook...

There has been *a lot* of take-out in my life lately. So now that the second chapter is drafted, I'm gradually working myself into cooking again (the nights I teach, it's still strictly microwave popcorn for dinner). Here's what I was able to come up with yesterday.

Cranberry Bliss Bars from Good Things Catered.com (minus the cream cheese frosting, and I used whole-wheat pastry flour in place of the regular flour).



These Mustard-Maple Pork Chops come from Ellie Kreeger via the March 2010 Cooking Light. She created a squash puree (I used leftover squash ravioli filling). I also roasted brussel sprouts as a side. Yum.
