Tonight I am planning on roasting a chicken. It is pretty cold here so warming up the house will be welcome. Emma seems to be doing pretty well with eating these days as well. I try to give her veggies to chew on for snacks, and she seems to like spicy food. For example, if I give her scrambled eggs she won't eat them, but if I put hot salsa on them (like I do with my eggs) she ends up eating an entire egg on her own. The same with pasta, not a fan of plain noodles, but if I put the sauce I make on it for her, she eats it. My sauce has a lot of red pepper flakes in it, so it's pretty spicy, but she can't seem to get enough of it. I haven't seen any change in her behavior or any illness coming from it. I think she just likes spicy because I do :-) Oh, and she loves loves loves cantaloupe. She will eat about 1/8th of a cantaloupe every morning.
I have no idea how Matt did yesterday eating, because I didn't actually see him. I ended up going to see Harry Potter last night, and left about 15 minutes before he got home...then I wasn't home until around 11:30 and he was in bed. But, I have a feeling he cheated...big time :-)
Here is a picture of my pasta dish yesterday, yum!

That looks awesome - so healthy! Now, if you could just add a little parm ;) it would be perfect!
Do canned tomatoes count as 'processed'? Did you make your tomato sauce from fresh, or is using canned okay? I'm not sure if canned goods (also beans and stuff) count as processed foods... I'm dumb!
I'm thinking I 'need' a pasta attachment for my KitchenAid like you have, but that certainly wouldn't work with the buy nothing challenge... I guess if I decide to do that I'll need to buy it before August ;)
I guess technically canned tomatoes would be processed, and I would normally use my own, but I happened to have crushed tomatoes in my pantry. I think that canned is ok as long as it doesn't have all the extra ingredients, like I would rather soak my own beans than use canned beans, but tomatoes are just tomatoes and citric acid and would be the same if I had tomatoes left from my garden last year. I think maybe I will try to just use fresh tomatoes though from now on. There is a farm in Madison Maine that produces tomatoes in a greenhouse all year round, so I can buy those.
And I highly recommend the pasta attachement! Also, going on a bit of a spending binge before the buy nothing challenge I think is somewhat normal...but if you could find one at a thrift store it would be ok :-)
