Well, it is unofficially, officially summer... at work. I know summer doesn't really start until around the 21st of June but at work older siblings are out for the summer and our kids are traveling for vacations and all sorts of fun summer plans. For staff that means our class lists are full but our attendance is lower and we work less hours. I don't really enjoy working less hours but I do really enjoy the free time to do things around the house! Last weekend I was off my usual Friday and then off Monday for a paid holiday. What a nice four day weekend and what I thought was a nice 3 day week ahead of me. However, after full days on tuesday and wednesday we came to thursday and it was slow so I went home. I also have monday off for schedule accommodations for other staff members and will be working next friday. So for now I am enjoying another 4 1/2 day weekend! AHHH SUMMER!
Now on to what is going on in the kitchen:
1. Dried Sweet Potatoes - for Moose's treats I have two sliced sweet potatoes going for about 24 hours in the dehydrator. This has been a great way for us to save money on treats and he loves them!
2. Dried Basil - also in the dehydrator, I only let them run for about 2 hours, they dry VERY quickly! I love having this on hand in my kitchen for our homemade pasta and pizza sauces. I keep it in a jar on my counter!
3. This isn't cooking in my kitchen today but I will be making this for dinner one night this week.
Chicken Piccata with Capers. Check out the recipe, it is going to be amazing!!!
Now off to do Pilates - Swim in the Pool - and enjoy this nice long weekend!
