Day Three hundred and seventy-six

Breakfast: Egg and cheese on english muffins, with orange slices.

Day Fifty-three

Preserving herbs: Basil (in olive oil). This is the last of my basil plant for the season... I'll miss fresh herbs!

Lunch: Pizza muffins (whole grain english muffins, tomato sauce with pureed butternut squash mixed in, and light mozzarella), salad, and prunes

Dinner: Chicken rice soup (crockpot; recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow). This recipe didn't work out for my crockpot, which tends to cook too hot. The brown rice dissolved into a blob and it came out more like mush than soup. Thankfully, my kids liked it anyway.
