So I only have less than a week of maternity leave. It is bitter sweet returning to work. On the one hand, I only have 3 months left of my residency so I am anxious to finish. On the other, I am not looking forward to leaving roxanna so much. I am so grateful that Gary is able to stay home and care for her...one less stress about finding someone we trust to watch her.
So I am keeping myself busy in the kitchen. I have actually done some baking which is unusual for me. I am mote of a cook than a baker...I realize it's not for lack of love for sweets but my lack of precision. Gary was watching me make THE WORldS BEST chocolate chip cookies (trust me...they are truly the best), and said..."hey that's not a full cup, you have to level it!" etc. etc. so I probably have him to thank for the way they turned out. I'll post a link but they are also on my pinterest board. Another hit was grand marnier orange butter cookies. wOW...so good. My next attempt is a southern Carmel cake, never had one but heard they are divine!
Last night made a fantastic dinner. The key was homemade whole wheat tortillas. Then fill it with store bought rotisserie chicken, Brie cheese, carmalized onion, roasted red peppers and spinach. yUM!make sure the Brie melts....obey gooey yumminess!
I cannot wait to teach Roxanna to cook and to bake!so many joys and things to teach her. This is going to be so fun!
Will post a few photos later, can't figure out how to add photos to this blog from my iPad. Yep got an iPad and I love it! Can surf, read, do work while nursing and holding Rox. So worth every penny.
