Two nights ago just before bed, Sam was down and all of a sudden I felt like I should do something. So I did a quick pickup of our bedroom and put away some (okay a lot) of things that Sam pulled out of the closet. William then walked into the bedroom from just brushing his teeth and didn't say anything about seeing a lot more of the floor. Then last night William walked into the bedroom and asked if I had cleaned up that day. However much I wish I could have said yes, I couldn't because yesterday I was so tired I basically had gotten the dishes done and that was it.
So I have been hoping that a burst of energy would just hop right out of me again like it did 2 days ago, but it just isn't happening. I set a goal to vacuum our bedroom and organize our dresser today and I am so pooped I will probably just let William eat leftovers while I have Relief Society tonight. Ce la vie. I just need the energy to get Sam and I ready to go, where it will come from???? Maybe I should go eat some sugar?

Cravings and Dinner Disappointment
Disappointment is heavy. Pepperoni Spinach Quiche has been running through my brain all day, because I was POSITIVE I had everything to complete it for dinner. After digging through 22 cubic feet of freezer space, I have found Zero amounts of frozen spinach. If you have all the ingredients it is super easy to make as well as super tasty. Give it a try if you have the ingredients, because for now, I will just have to run to the store later and make it for dinner tomorrow night. Ugh!
Ingredients
- 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 5 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup half-and-half cream
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Dash pepper
Directions
- Separate crescent dough into eight triangles; place in an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom with points toward the center. Press onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust; seal seams. Set aside.
- In a small skillet, saute red pepper in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat. In another small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in red pepper mixture. Pour into crust.
- Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 8 servings.

Why am I doing this?.... Oh, that's right!
I, Erin Grover, have decided to start a blog. There probably will be no method to the madness here. My goal is to write once a week. And if I can't handle that, then I will at least try bi-weekly. Although there is nothing completely THRILLING happening in daily life it would be nice for me just to see what happens over the course of a year. So this will almost be considered a memory book/ journal used to remind me what happened and when.
