1 Month Later

So it's been about a month since the last time I blogged. Things have been all over the place with the aftermath of the RN exam, spending time with family whom I had not seen much during my studying, and then my fiance leaving to go home to Fredericton, NB for 2 weeks.

I also started a new nursing job, and the orientation has been long and straining. It is where I did my consolidation, but now I am moving more quickly through the motions and learning things that should have been taught to me as a student. It's been a steep curve, but i'm surviving!

Having said that, there has not been a ton of motivation to cook and blog in the last month. Let me tell you, it is not easy cooking for one. I seemed to lack the passion that I get when I cook for others, when it is only me. To remedy this, I invited some of the girls from my exam study group over for dinner and had an absolute blast cooking for them. I made an avacado salad, garlic chicken breasts covered with onion and paprika, and we had ice cream cones for dessert! Pair that with a funny movie rental and it was an amazing night!

Colin got back last weekend and we have had a busy schedule. We have made some regular baked chicken, same recipie I made for the girls, and paired it with steamed broccoli and rice. This past friday night, we gave up on cooking and had a date night. We went to Moxie's and celebrated 11 more months till our wedding, and then we saw Toy Story 3 - great movie!

Saturday, I made Colin's mom's amazing meatloaf. I have to say, I used the Selection brand tomato soup in it, and this was the absolute best that I think it has been! I'm so glad. It is one of Colin's favourite recipies and so we make it often! I think the recipe is a family one, and so I won't be posting it, but dinner tonight is definitely the last 3 pieces :D YUM!!!

Hopefully we get cooking again this week. 1 day, and 3 night shifts for work, so we'll see where things go. Until then, have a yummy tummy!! xoxo
