or dies of starvation trying to learn how

This was ehh. I typically love tikka masala but this jar wasn't super flavorful. I might make it again. Also, accidentally bought breast instead of thighs which didn't shred as well.

Hands down the best thing I’ve ever cooked. Buffalo chicken pasta adapted from here without dairy or fancy spices.

A breakfast worth forgoing my weekend coffee for. Wow. It’s this recipe with a splash of sugar free syrup as a sweetener.

Ramen makes the world go round.

This was delicious. But it wasn't supposed to be chicken soup. Oh well.

Possibly the best hot cocoa ever. http://www.farmwifedrinks.com/crock-pot-peppermint-cocoa/

The issues with this recipe were my own. I tried to halve it then it was too small for the crockpot. Ended up a little drier than I’d like but still yummy. And oh the apartment smelled good last night

When you're bored with typical smoothie flavoring, butterscotch pudding is good in a pinch.

Today I learned:

It is possible to make edible pasta when you have an adequate sized pot.

Wagon wheels are still the best

Canned tuna is way more expensive than it used to be.

For a reason… Canned salmon is gross.

Carbs at lunch make me a slug

In which I tackle my nemesis. Glue. I think this might have turned out OK. Rotelle with salmon& capers

My first crockpot meal, which luckily tasted much better than it looked. Buffalo ranch chicken, adopted from here.

Date: 19 January

Sometimes the best thing you can say about a smoothie is the color. Too sweet and texture off. Time to put the celery out of its smoothie misery. Date: today
