I used a Neti Pot for the first time this week. Scariest experience of my life (and I've given birth drug-free!). You feel like you are drowning. I compensated by swallowing a billion times to make sure my throat wasn't full of water. However, I understand the biology of why a person can string a noodle through their throat and nose now.

I tried my hand at making Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies with my Homemade Chocolate Chips.
Needless to say, I'm not devoting a post to the recipe for these...pancake cookies. However, when I successfully make this recipe work, you all will be the first to know! And it's not like they were inedible. My family devoured them ;)

I was recently chatting with some other moms about grinding my own whole wheat berries, making kefir, soaking grains, and other traditional foods we are trying. I guess I sounded like I was conquering the world without batting an eyelash. One of the moms asked how I do it all. I almost choked!
The reality is I don't!! I spend so much time cooking, baking and eating that my kitchen perpetually looks like this:

Perhaps I enter ADD land when I start cooking/baking because I can only accomplish one thing: the finished dish. I can follow directions and cook up a storm but I'm not that good at cleaning up the aftermath.
Sometimes my husband needs a spoon or a bowl. So he washes it himself ;)

I won the grain mill attachment for this gargantuan Juicer on Ebay!
I was so pumped when a package arrived at the door this morning and thought for sure this was my attachment!! But then I noticed it was from Mexico. This was a package for my husband.
I then went online to find out where the package was. I stupidly forgot to update my address on Ebay. It had arrived at my old address!! I frantically called my old landlord (good friends of ours) and emailed the current rentors at work. Creeeeeeeppppyyyyy!!!
Now, after knocking at my old address at 9 pm in the rain wearing my husband's flip flops, the grain mill attachment is in my possession! I sure hope the stupid juicer works. I guess I should have checked that before I got all competitive on Ebay... (I was a little worried that these two pieces don't actually fit together. But upon further inspection and research, I further solidified my idiocy by putting it together wrong.)

I made this delicious Broccoli Pesto from 101cookbooks.com. I strongly recommend it!! (I added some already cooked chicken from our freezer and it was perfect!)
