The One Not About Food...

I've been putting off posting to just have the last week overr with. To tell you the truth, it was hell for me. Just when things were beginning to look up, it all came crashing down again. It was very trying and stressful for me. And it was everything too...
-My job started it all... First of all, I work M-F and should not recieve emails from my boss (who knows that I have a Blackberry) on Saturday afternoon regarding sales numbers. I won't go into details, but what was written was something that should have been discussed in person and some was completely off base. I think it's about to time to move on...
-School is just stressful. Enough said.
-Life with the boy was made even more complicated by the fact that both of us are stressed with work and stuff. We've been nitpicking at each other, to the point I honestly thought that we were done.
-Stress wreaks havoc on my body and especially my head, giving me killer migraines that I cannot do anything about. I had one everyday basically, and they just killed my plans to work out or do anything else productive. I cannot do anything that gets my heart pumping when I have a migraine because I feel like my head will explode.

Argghh... It's good to get it out and hopefully my week coming up will be better and have better food involved in it too...

Managing Life and a Pizza

Veggie PIzza, originally uploaded by scarlettvr.

I made this one last week and just never wrote about it, school and work keeps me busy! I'm only a week into school and I'm already bombarded by papers due and the stress of my books still not arriving on time. I love that it's WAY cheaper to buy your books online, but even when you pay for expedited shipping, it still takes over a week to get here. I hate being behind on my reading. Ah the joys of being a student.

Anyway, on to the pizza! 

I used a recipe (forgot where I found, sorry guys!) that was supposed to make a 12in crust and just made two smaller pizzas out of it. I made homemade pizza sauce and just cut up a bunch of veggies. I also browned up some turkey italian sausage for the boy and went at it. I think mine ended up with lots of sauce (coz I like it saucy) onions, zucchini, broccoli and some italian blend cheese. Threw it in a 500 degree oven for about 10 minutes and it was done... It turned out so good, and I even had half left over for lunch the next day. I will totally make this again, and I will find the dough recipe and post it!

Egg "Cupcakes"

Egg "Cupcake"

So school has officially started, and it's a little bittersweet because I had my last "first" day as an undergrad. It's only taken me SIX years to get to this point. Oh well, I guess that's what I get for working full time and going to school. I'm excited about this year though, I actually have some interesting classes, well interesting to me at least. Most people I know think that I am weird for making History my major.

But on an unrelated note...
I came up with these "cupcakes" on Sunday when J was hungry but all I had was little bit of everything, not enough of anything to make a full meal out of it. So I used the last of my eggs and stuff to make these cupcakes. J LOVED them and requested that I make these again.

I used 4 eggs, a slice of bread, some leftover turkey lunchmeat and some shredded cheddar. Put the bread and turkey on the bottom, added scrambled eggs ( pour slowly because it takes a minute for the egg to settle in all the nooks and crannies) and topped it with cheese. Baked them at 350 for 18 minutes and they were done. This made about 4 because I way overfilled one and lost quite a bit of egg.

One thing I learned though is that I won't use paper liners again, they stick to the "cake" WAY too much for my liking. It was like losing half the cake and the meat and bread stuck really badly to them. So I'll just grease the pan well and do it that way. The bread will probably get crispier that way and that would make it even tastier.
