This was the first real meal we had in our apartment and the first meal we made for
just the two of us since being married. This was just a classic chicken dish. The chicken was served with red potatoes and a butter wine sauce. I served it with salad and steamed baby carrots.The recipe for the chicken and potatoes came from the "Real Simple" box of recipes.




These are two loaves of bread made by Dave. Fresh bread is much better than store bought bread and it is surprisingly easy to make, especially if you have a sturdy stand mixer which will take care of most of the kneading. However, be warned that your kitchen may end up covered in flour!

This recipe makes delicious honey wheat bread. As I mentioned before it makes two loaves, which is fortunate because it is so delicious. The last batch we made lasted the two of us about two weeks. We cover the bread in aluminum foil then keep it in the fridge. We enjoy using the bread for sandwiches, toast and snacks!

This is another meal we enjoyed in our first week in our apartment. It is cheesy baked lentils with brown rice, salad and homemade bread. The cheesy baked lentils are essentially a casserole made up of lentils, onion (lots), tomatoes, celery, carrots, spices and cheese. We decided to give lentils a try because they are so economical and it turns out, they can be delicious. Dave and I think this dish is a really good 'comfort food.' We have already made it a second time and it gives us lots of leftovers! We found the recipe in the Mennonite cookbook More with Less. The bread recipe also comes from this cookbook.
