Today is a day of simplicity… Just some basic chores, a few dozen of cakes (individual ones), Loaded Chocolate Bar cookies and a light lunch.
Today I was in one of those clean out moods… cleaning out the pantry and just making something edible.
After foraging, I found some red skinned taters, onions, garlic, zucchini and other stuff.
This is what I ended up with… spiced summer veggies.
