Yah, I’m still here.
It’s been quite the week. I went in and stayed with my mother-in-law this past week. It was fun. We worked and ate and hung out and the week just seemed to fly past.
It’s always different to be away from my house and from Jon and the kids but I know that Jon is amaing with the kids and keeping things going and so that makes it all good.
This whole working thing is going to be a good thing I think………?
It’s definately going to take some planning and some serious organization to work out a really good schedule and to plan the meals and to keep on top of all the house stuff.
But, I think that being out of the house a few times a week will be good for me. I will actually feel like I’m accomplishing more than just another meal or the 1,874,352nd load of laundry….not that those things aren’t so exciting but…..well…..ya know…..I’ll just leave it at that.
Things shouldn’t be as crazy as they were last week normally….and I’ll looking forward to finding out what the new “normal” schedule will look like.
The drive home last night in traffic wasn’t as bad as it could have been, and I didn’t even have Siah with me to be able to take advantage of the HOV lane. And it still only took 1 hour to get home. It take 45mins. with no traffic….so not bad, eh?
Still it’s an hour, but with a cell phone to keep you company – it’s all good.
Now, I have a butt load of things to get done today and so I’m off to blow through this place in the hopes of a whirlwind cleaning situation.
I have a question for you though…..do you have any ideas for either crock pot meals or roasts or one dish meals that can be prepared beforhand….ready to be popped in at the right time?
I can adjust most meals to suit our non-dairy, non-wheat eating family but it helps to have some new ideas and to hear what YOUR favorites are. So, lemme know what works for you.
sorry no recipe’s but I keep checking back to see if anyone else has some cuz I need some good ones to!
I love to throw a whole chicken in the crockpot. You can then make chicken wraps with bacon, tomato, lettuce or whatever else you prefer. Chili, Roast beef for beef dips, Stew, Soup. Check the net, you will find many recipes. The only meat I pre-cook is ground beef, otherwise I always throw my meat in frozen and cook on low all day.
Kraft Canada website has great crockpot receipes and they are always flexible to use what you have. It has been my most favorite website. There are even ideas for freezing meals.
Have fun!!!
