So it turns out this Overtime Cook idea is harder than it sounds. Does it sound hard? It's harder. I get home at about 7:30 pm on a good night. By the time I cook and eat supper and start my baking, it's late. I finish at a ridiculous hour, then try to photograph my food, clean up, shower and get a few minutes of sleep before I wake up at 6:30 the next morning for another round of this. Whew.

Until recently, when I was bored of everything I usually made, and decided to get creative. "I'll make a low fat quiche," I told myself. "And who needs a crust anyway?" Erm, me? But I was hungry. So I mixed up the batter and was about to dump it into a muffin pan, when I noticed some whole wheat wraps lying on the counter. Thank heavens for people who don't put things away. "This could work," I thought excitedly. "And it won't break the calorimeter!" So I … [Read more...]
