It's so dark and rainy today. I have the candles going, I enjoyed a cup of Tazo organic apple red herbal tea, and did some baking. Yup it's September and fall time for sure.
I baked a double batch of the applesauce raisin bars. I made two substitutions, one was I used half pear sauce since I didn't have enough of the applesauce. Second substitution was I used half raisins and half cranberries.
Do you ever have the problem of doubling a recipe and it just doesn't turn out exactly like it's supposed to? Well I followed the recipe exactly and they came out a smidge to moist. I even baked them an extra 10 min. I'm hoping after a day they will lose some of the moisture, as baked food tends to dry out. They are still really good, they just have sticky bottoms.
Dinner
For dinner I cooked some chicken tenders in the crock pot for 2hrs. In the crock pot along with the tenders was 1 can tomato paste, some seasonings, and 1 cup water.
In a baking dish I layered some whole wheat flat bread with, black beans, half of the chicken that I shredded, some salsa, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and a sauce made of salsa and Organic Valley low fat sour cream mixed together.
Unfortunately it came out a bit watery which kinda ruined it all. I might not have drained the beans enough, or it could be the salsa, not really sure. Better luck next time. My cooking mojo has been a little on the rocks lately.
