Slow cooker recipes: beef burgundy

Kyle started another new slow cooker recipe last night with some beef marinating and then started it cooking this morning. We ate a delicious dinner tonight!

Sunday morning

Kyle and I went for a brisk run around part of Ladybird Lake this morning. It was chilly but sunny and invigorating. It is kind of like the Green Lake of Austin. Afterward, Kyle and I tried out a new place for breakfast: Le Cafe Crepe. It was a great find on yelp! It was low key but very tasty. We had delicious crepes and a chocolate croissant!! It was a perfect Sunday morning.

Slow cooker recipes! Pulled barbecue chicken

We got a magazine of healthy slow cooker recipes from Cooking Light at some point and finally got around to trying some this weekend. For the wedding, we got an electric pressure cooker, rice cooker, and slow cooker in one. We've been trying out its features. Yesterday, Kyle made a barbecue shredded chicken recipe for sandwiches, and it was tasty!

New glasses!

I am finally starting to address some of the doctor appointments that I've been putting off, and it has been tough to push my way into new doctor offices. Some have made it easy for me and others have not. Kyle recommended the eye doctor he went to that is just down the street and they were very welcoming, so now I have finally gotten new glasses for the first time since 2004! I like them and I hope to use them regularly as acceptable replacements for contacts, and they may even be better in some circumstances, like driving at night. We'll see!

More homemade bread!

The baguette I made the other day turned out to be quite tasty! We got some cheese to go with it.

Yesterday I made two ciabatta rolls for lunch and then tasty caprese sandwiches out of them!

New, easy way to do bread!

For the wedding, we received a kit of stuff to make bread easily on a regular basis: a pizza peel, a baking stone, and an instructional book. I used the set up once to make a small loaf of bread for dinner last week, and just pulled two small baguettes out of the oven. I am excited to try them!! The bread set up really is very easy to do, with delicious outcomes!
