Food and Writing

Food and writing are the two things authors & I love. This post is going to have tons of food pictures and recipes if ones are needed; along with my writing stuff.

So lets start off with the fact that CampNaNoWriMo is in full swing. I m 3 days ahead right now. Though this weekend will be slow writing.  Below is my project stats. WIP- Nessa is coming out of her shell as the novel continues; however, Marrick is lost. Typical male!

 As I take breaks from writing I have been using my birthday presents my kiddo-2 and her boyfriend gave me. Check it out. I'm loving it! Coloring keeps my mind calm when it won't focus on words.

 Now for the food part. Here are my writing and Netflix snacks. Cauliflower, carrots and ranch dip. Then there is the store bought fresh crab stuffed mushrooms.

Since kiddo-2 isn't home much because of school and friends I have been eating salads and omelets. 

Lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, diced ham, blue cheese crumbles and colby/jack cheese.

No blue cheese crumbles :(

Omelet- green peppers, diced ham, red onion, orange peppers & colby/jack cheese

When kiddo-2 is feeling off or is sick we make homemade chicken noodle soup. Doesn't it look yummy? 

 Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
4-6 Chicken hind quarters
Chopped carrots
2 Chopped or diced onions
Fresh Basil (2-3 TBsp)
2 TBsp oregano

In huge pot put the chicken, spices and veggies in. Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 3-4 hours adding water if chicken isn't covered.  After that add in the broth. Simmer for another 2 hours.

Serve hot. Store leftovers in frig. Freezes well too.

Before I go off to my writing cave I'll show you a new picture of me...
