In the Kitchen...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

A very long and busy but very productive day at work.  Arriving home I was tired but needed to get dinner ready and not just dinner for this evening but something that will last a for left overs for tomorrow's dinner.

Last week I purchased the MOST amazing eggplant.  This evening I decided that I would make a Ratatouille for dinner using vegetables from the fridge and my home made tomato sauce:

SO YUM!!!!

I paired this side dish along with a ground beef, onions, garlic, red pepper, green pepper, celery, mushroom, and sweet potatoe skillet simmered with the remaining home made tomato sauce:

So good that kiddo ate extra helpings.  

Now that I had left overs taken care of for tomorrow evening I set about getting organized for lunches for two more days of school and work.  Banana bread was my solution to round out the lunch boxes: 

There just might be extra chocolate chips in it too!

While the banana bread was making I made Block 6 of the Jewel Box Block Challenge that A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop is hosting.  "Sew" far this year I am still on track.  Meet Block 6:

 And here are all 6 together:

Now to see what else I can get in to before heading to bed.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Thursday tomorrow.
