Breakfast

I found out once again, about twenty minutes before breakfast this morning, how passionately non-positive most of my people are about oatmeal. Add what I will to it--apples, cherries, almonds, fresh pears--it only makes it worse.  Buttercup loves it. Everyone else would rather start out Monday with a sock in the nose.

We made these instead and had an immediate consensus: They were delicious. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Orange-Oatmeal-Muffins/Detail.aspx?prop31=1

Because I love it when other people do this:

Here is what we are (probably) having for dinner this week.

Chicken parts roasted on a bed of sweet potatoes (olive oil, sea salt, whatever herbs I find in the drawer)

Sloppy Joes

Persian beans and rice

Minestrone

Steaks on the grill with roasted red potatoes
