I've got my batch of brown rice cooling and my whole wheat waffles cooking....
The yummy pinto beans are cooling while I cook up some whole wheat spaghetti for spaghetti pie......
I have the shredded zucchini thawing out on the counter while the waffles cool down on racks...
Ta Da! Two baked spaghetti pies!
Ta Da! This is what I was left with when all the cooking was done!
Here is what is on the agenda for today:
Cook one batch of pinto beans (in progress)
Puree beans from yesterday to make refried beans
Assemble bean, rice and cheese burritos
Throw together a double batch of chili (beans and hamburger are ready to go)
Cook up black beans and freeze
Cook up chickpeas and freeze
Cook up small red beans and freeze
Hey- it's a "beans and rice" kind of life in this house!
Make a double batch of whole wheat pizza dough and freeze
Make cookies
Make rhubarb shortcake muffins
Make double batch of zucchini bread
Okay, I'm starting to panic a little now. That list is a little bit bigger than I thought it was going to be. Time to get my rear end in gear and get BUSY! I'll post my final OAMC results tonight (if I don't fall asleep on the couch at 8:00 like I did last night. Oops.)
AMAZING! And I was in bed at 8, too, with not nearly the food in the freezer to show for it!

I tried to post this on yesterdays post, but it got lost, I think. Paul's Grains is in Marshalltown, and I've purchased a lot of grain from them in the past. I don't know specifically if they have quinoa, but I have found their prices to be VERY reasonable. Might be worth checking out if you are going to be doing a lot with whole grain(s) in your recipes.
And, we would love to have a bread making/play date date. Let me know what works for you!
Reading your list makes me tired! I am thinking a rice and bean family like yours may enjoy reading some Skippy Jon Jones books.
