Putting away stores

Bruce and I have never exactly played the role of the ants versus the grasshoppers, of Aesop Fable fame.

In fact, Bruce has been known to break into a sweat at the very site of a 24-roll of anything, and he gets visibly nervous in Costco. But they say having a baby changes everything, right?

So, I've tried to do some freezer cooking to prepare for the crazy days/weeks after Peanut gets here.







Here's Bruce trying to make room in the freezer.
Poor Bruce.
















These are tasty protein bars, from Mollie Katzen's Sunlight Cafe. You should try making them.

Yes, those are chocolate chips you see.
















Here I am making Mark Bittman's spinach lasagna from the green cookbook.














The finished product.













My rapt audience. Marley loves pasta.
And tomatoes.
And cheese....
