Too Busy to Cook

I really truly hate when this happens but yes, I have been too busy to cook lately. And it won't get any better over the next couple of weeks. For months now I've known that the end of August was going to be a busy time for me and now its finally here.

Saturday I will be making Hot Pepper Jelly for the first time with a friend of mine. She offered to teach me how to make it. My sister loves it and is in Vegas right now with her fiance who is stationed there for training. Her birthday is September 2nd so I thought I'd make a batch and send her some. Therefore, there will be an entry on that.

I did also get my new Rachel Ray magazine and there were some scrumptious looking recipes I'll be trying. A cookie recipe I plan to make to use up some Hershey bars my mom gave me (which I guess can also count as another addition of "Ways in Which I Use Stuff Up"). And as always, another addition of "Cooking for your Pet".

Another note, my entry got posted at Champaign Taste as promised on Julia's birthday, Saturday, August 15th. Not only is my recipe listed but a bunch of other delicious looking recipes that I need to try myself soon.

So a small hiatus but lots to come!
