Easy Evening

Where did today go?! I got quite a bit accomplished, but there are still a number of tasks lingering on my To Do list. I know that I should just get them done, but I’m feeling extremely unmotivated. :-? I think the holiday/vacation mindset has already taken over my brain.

Dinner

Mal took the reins on dinner tonight. He made one of my favorite Real Simple recipes: Last-Minute Lasagna. (You can read my previous recipe recap here.)

Ravioli + salad.

Delicious meal!! Mal did a great job. Love this recipe! :-D

Snack

I got a little creative in the kitchen this afternoon. I had one lonely apple in the fridge, so I decided to make it into an apple crisp-like snack. I cut up the apple, placed it in a bowl, and then topped it with a mixture of canned pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar, flour, and oats. It was pretty darn good!

I’m spending the night relaxing with M & M! Enjoy the evening, blog friends! 8-)

    I made the ravioli recipe a while ago after finding it on your blog, and it was delicious! I love Real Simpe recipes – they always turn out good and they truly are simple!

    I have no idea where the day went either. I put my tivo on pause and stepped out of the room, and next I knew 3 hours had passed

    Microwave apples is one of my favorite snacks of late — with a little cinnamon and nutmeg, it’s a hot and healthy dessert-y snack. :)

    Ooh, that ravioli looks so round and cute! At first, it looked like there were tons of balls of mozzarella cheese in there. 8O

    So excited to try that recipe. I love lasagna but don’t always have time for it.

    And my to do list isn’t completed tonight either but I’m not doing it. It can wait til tomorrow.

    I’ve been wanting to try that lasagna forever now but I just haven’t found a frozen ravioli that I love. I definitely need to get on that because yours looks delish.
