Lazy Sunday

Ahhh....I love having lazy Sundays. DH and I have been really big into just hanging around the house this winter. Today, I spent the day cooking, baking, and reading in front of the fire. My two current books are Light a Penny Candle by Maeve Binchy and The Key by Joe Vitale. I'm also burning my Circle E Bird of Paradise candle, which makes the house smell wonderful.

Tonight we'll be enjoying:

• Chicken and stuffing from the slow-cooker (I added some mixed veggies and used chicken broth instead of water)
• Homemade bread from the bread maker
• Organic winter squash
• and last, but not least, some Perfectly Chocolate Cake

Yeah, I know that last part is not the best for my weight loss plan. But I figured a lot of eating right is a matter of portion size and not having tons of leftovers (which I'll continue to eat). I used two 8"x8" pans and froze the other cake to use in a month or so. Hopefully it will freeze okay. With an 8"x8" cake, I figure it's about 9 small pieces. I'll most likely get two out of the whole things, which is fine. DH and his friends will eat the rest!

We just need more days like this.....
