My sister in law and mother in law spent a lovely evening in Council Bluffs, IA (right over the border from Omaha, NE) due to highway closures and my husband not being able to come get them. So, we are going to go for take 2 today. One glitch-the Little Man has a delayed opening this morning. So, I am thinking the boys will drive me to work and then drop the little man off at school with the big man hitting the highway then.
I have manicotti & stuffed shells in the fridge, which will be good along with some sausage and garlic bread plus salad for dinner. Tomorrow I'm thinking having fiesta chicken soup (crockpot), quesadillas and salad with avacados and chili lime dressing. Now I have to put some thought into dinners, etc. for next week.
Saturday-not quite sure....
Sunday-its the Big Man's birthday and he wants his giant meatball (his family's version of meat loaf) so his sister has graciously volunteered to make it.
Monday-lasanga or pasta, garlic bread, salad, dessert
Tuesday-chicken, potatoes, veggies, dessert
Wednesday-minestrone soup, bread, dessert
Thursday-ginger pear waffles, fruit salad, juice
Friday-chicken paella, tres leches cake
Saturday-hot dogs (maybe?)
I'm getting better at planning dinners, now my next challenge are lunches. Its like an afterthought and then I wind up with the crap that doesn't make me feel happy or healthy. So, I need to put some thought into it. It needs to go beyond having a frozen dinner and some lettuce-with me then rebelling because I am so sick of said frozen dinner and lettuce. You would think that I would be a little more creative with lunch, but I don't. I'm not coming up with anything exciting, so I eat a lot of crap...I try to bring leftovers (repurpose them, maybe?) but even that hasn't worked out so well...
Then the final pieces of the puzzle are snacks (not junk food either) and breakfasts. I have to just put more thought into what I am putting into my mouth. Its like with everything I do, instead of hitting zombie mode I have to think. I have to put some effort into what I am doing...
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
