I'm not totally sure what got into me today. I still wasn't feeling very good, but I also wasn't feeling like sitting around being lazy.
I contemplated walking to the library - especially with the beautiful weather we're having, but ended up not doing it. Why? Because I spent most of the day cooking! 
The first two things I made today were black bean/oatmeal burgers and quinoa/spinach/mushroom burgers.
The black bean burgers recipe I doubled (1 recipe made 4 burgers.) They could be baked in the oven. So while those were baking, I fried up the quinoa burgers. The recipe supposedly makes 14 patties, but even with adding a can of mushrooms, I was only able to make 10.
While I was frying them up I had to keep contending with my smoke alarm. Thankfully it is a beautiful day, so I opened my windows.
I forgot to take pictures of them before I put them in the freezer - they don't look all that pretty, but they are good.

Now I was off to the grocery store within walking distance of home.
I picked up eggs, a bag of broccoli slaw, a bag of frozen diced onions/g & r peppers, zucchini, cornbread mix, swiss cheese slices, shredded cheese and cat food. Total of $23.xx after a $2 cat food coupon.

When I got home I put 8 eggs, a bag of shredded cheese, 1/2 a bag of the frozen onion mix, and after shredding the slaw in my handy dandy food processor (Ninja blender sidekick) put that in too. I call it my Veggie Galore Egg Bake. Here's a picture of it (hopefully)
Then I put together my cornbread casserole (cream corn, regular corn, green onions, shredded cheese, 2 eggs, cornbread mix) Here it is:

Finally I decided to make the zucchini recipe I found on FB yesterday. It's directions were to cut up a zucchini into thin slices, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika. Bake for 25 minutes at 450.
So ... I thinly sliced my zucchini. I attempted to drizzle the olive oil (ha!) and miraculously found out that I actually have paprika!
Into the oven for 25 minutes at 450.
I go to my computer to rest my aching feet. 25 minutes later I head out to the oven to check on my creation .... This is what I found:
S'pose I should have checked on it a time or two ....
All this food is going to provide lunches for me for the remainder of March, and some might be dinners too.
I'm thinking that the black bean burger will be a staple product for me though - so very easy.
