Pumpkin ravs and feelin better

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and nice comments yesterday. I am feeling much better today, not 100%, but much better. This is very good since I have a lot to do this coming week. One thing that helped to make me feel better were these lollipops. Do you guys remember these? I loved these when I was in high school.

Thursday night before I got sick I decided to make dinner and incorporate the rest of the canned pumpkin I had from when I made the bread the day before. I really wanted to make pumpkin stuffed ravioli, but I really haven't used my pasta machine/maker yet and I didn't feel like learning right now, so I made some adjustments to my idea and here is what I came up with.

I heated some skim milk with splenda and nutmeg.
Then I got out the remaining pumpkin, heated it a little in the microwave so it was warm...

Then added the pumpkin to my milk and made a creamy pumpkin sauce.

It smelled so good.

Then I layered my raviolis, the sauce and some mozzarela cheese, which by the way was too much cheese, lesson learned! As I was eating it I found myself removing some cheese and giving it to the dog. She was one happy puppy!

Here it is ready to go into the oven for about 15 minutes.

Lots of layers!

Can't have a meal without adding in some green. The fresh broc in the store looked old (cause it was!, the hadn't put out the new produce yet this week) so I went with frozen.

Now you can see how ooey gooey the cheese came out.

Alright, here's the finished product. Don't you just love the paper plates?!?

It was really good and I am happy that Ryan really liked it.

Then the illness hit. Friday I was pretty much confined to my bed. Lucky for me Ryan came home from work at lunch time and was able to stay with me. I was sick, but that didn't stop my hunger. Ryan made me "breakfast" in bed. He made these egg and cheese tortilla wraps on the digital griddle.

Saturday I felt well enough to watch Ryan get rid of those biodegradable, water melting packing peanuts from when I got my sony digital reader. Watch how much fun this was...

Going, going...

Gone! Haha, looks like marshmallow soup!

Speaking of soup, that was just what the doctor ordered. I am glad I still had this from TJ's since it was so easy to make.

Then Ryan got griddle happy again and made himself those chicken quesadillas, but not without making me some tomato and cheese quesadillas first.

He got creative with what we had, which was only grape tomatoes, so there are little tomatoes inside here.

The rest of the evening was spent just louging arouns watching movies. It was so cold in the house that I finally had to break out the slippers I bought. Introducing my slippers, sleeping bags for your feet!

THEY ROCK!!! I love them and they are so comfy. So, that is it for now. I am going to go get some more rest and watch some mroe movies. Hope you had a good weekend and that none of you are sick too.

QUESTION: What is your "home" remedy for a cold/sinus problem? Also, what kind of slippers do you have?
