Continuing on my quest to be a better wife and mommy by honing my skills in the kitchen. I have discovered a couple of things during my time cooking:
1. I really like cooking. It's time in the kitchen, just being by myself (for the most part). Sometimes, I do have a clingy toddler grabbing at my legs, but I still enjoy it. It's almost like a stress reliever. Why on earth did I stop cooking?
2. Coming up with a menu plan every two weeks has made me realize how few recipes I actually have. My Pinterest board is surprisingly lacking on recipes I actually want to make for dinner. Thinking maybe I should invest in actual real-life cookbooks.
3. Cooking in my kitchen makes me long for the day when we do our fabulous kitchen remodel. But more on that later....
Menu plan!
Monday--Roast beef/ham and cheese sandwiches (I've recently discovered the Pioneer Woman and I'm OBSESSED)
Tuesday--Bible Study. No dinner
Wednesday--Cheesy Taco Shell Pasta
Thursday--Mini Meatloves and Mashed Potato Cups
Friday--Manicotti
Saturday--Mini Meatball Sandwiches
Sunday--Ranch Chicken
Monday--Ham and pineapple pizza
Tuesday--Relay for Life meeting
Wednesday--Lasagna Roll Ups
Thursday--BBQ chicken sandwiches
I over-plan. I know that I'm not going to cook every single night. Things come up, I get tired, whatever. But whatever I don't use, I can stick in next week's menu plan and use the ingredients I purchased.
Enjoy your week all :)
