Day One

Well today sucked. Not because of our food project, but because I have a cold. Fan-fricken-tastic. Please tell me our new food project will help keep us well.

The good news is cooked the chicken yesterday in the slow cooker.

 And today I pulled off all of the yummy bits and put the rest back in the cooker with more water and some frozen leek tops from... say... a month ago? Thats not bad right? I mean they were frozen.... Anyway yummy  chicken stock is on the way!

These are the bits I picked throgh. Most of it went into the pot to make stock.

So on Saturday I decided to make some whole wheat tortillas which the Husband used for tuna wraps today for lunch. He seemed to like them ok. Which was good because he didn't have any leftover steak and potato like I did for lunch. Gotta love Taste of Texas!

 I was kinda surprised at how easy and tasty the tortillas were to make!  I used this recipe. 

And yes I have thrown out that disgusting hamburger bun in the background.

Later that evening I decided we might need some crackers to snack on. And I found on the same blog as the tortillas, these cheesy whole wheat crackers. While I will miss my bunnies, these are pretty tasty. And also super easy!!!

Tonight I cooked up some of the whole wheat pasta and mixed up some tomato sauce from a large can of crushed tomatoes, garlic, basil and a dash of chili powder. Then threw some of the pulled rosemary chicken on top. It was surprisingly tasty! I think I will pick up some parmigiana cheese next week to go on our pastas.

The conclusion I have come to today is this: Whole wheat is actually very good. :)
