it's snowing.

so yes, it is april 26...nearly may, and as i look out my window this morning, it's snowing--and sticking. that, along with the 30 degree weather, will provide the ideal weather conditions for my track meet today. :P oh well, hopefully it won't be too bad, as i make my official debut as a 800 meter runner! i'm excited to try the new race. mom's coming up to watch and spend the night here. :)

so tuesday we had some friends over for dinner, and i made mac and cheese pizza and stuffed-crust meatball pizza. the mac and cheese pizza was adapted from mesa pizza, the pizza place in dinkytown. they serve a whole slew of wacky pizzas. i've never had their's, but i hear mine topped their's. ;) for dessert i made apple pie a la mode.
















yesterday i made fat-free banana bread! there was minimal sugar, too. it turned out pretty good, but i think next time i'll adapt it a bit--i added a little salt (the recipe didn't call for any) because mom's recipe has it, maybe next time i'll put a bit more in. i might try adding cinnamon and maybe nutmeg, too. i also added walnuts. the batter was a little thick, so i had to add some water. but overall, definitely worth it. :)




and here is the cheese pizza i made for our potluck a few weeks back..











what's cooking tonight: mom's here, so we're going to go out for dinner. we'll see what we're in the mood for!
