What to do but EAT?

This past weekend we had plans to go to a thing called "Smoke on the Water" out at Lake Shawnee with some friends (it was a BBQ competition with yummy food, live music & various vendors), and we were also going to visit a local pumpkin patch.

Neither outing happened!

Thanks to the ever so wonderful Kansas weather, it was not only freezing Saturday, but it poured buckets of rain on and off all day. Not sure if the BBQ competition continued throughout the day, but we didn't venture to find out!

Sunday was a pretty day out and we could've done something outdoorsy, but again, we didn't.

So what did we do? We spent a pretty wonderful weekend playing inside, sleeping, cuddling, watched some good shows & not so good ones, got to see Felix Baumgartner float 24 miles into space only to sky dive and break the sound barrier (amongst break other world records), and we did lots and lots of cooking and eating!!!

I don't know what the deal is lately, but I have been in the mood to cook and bake like there is no tomorrow. What is wrong with me? First of all, I don't bake ... I'm really just not that good at it for some reason. Cooking and baking are two totally different art forms, and I'm definitely not a baker.

EXCEPT -- I have been these last few days!! I've been rockin' all things sweet and savory!

I've been making cinnamon/peach muffins, apple crisps, fluffy buttery biscuits, chocolaty walnut brownie pie, zesty lasagna, apple pie, pigs in a blanket, vegetable beef soup (and so much more) -- and all from scratch!!!

Again, what is wrong with me?

It definitely feels like we've eaten our weight in food this weekend, and I for one, totally don't feel bad about it! hahaha

Justin even got a wild hair up his butt and decided to make some homemade applesauce yesterday! Since we still have so many apples left over from our 1/2 bushel, he got busy in the kitchen too.

{The mighty-fine Cook himself workin' hard at it!}

{The Cook deserved a kiss!}

{My sweetness!}

{From start to finish! Our Vitamix blender is so awesome! This seriously turned out to be THE BEST applesauce I've ever had! No sugar added ... nothing added ... and its delicious!}

Once in a while its nice to just have a weekend to do nothing ... nothing but be together that is!

Well, and maaaaaybe to spend the entire weekend wearing elastic-waisted pants? :)
