Does that stress any of you
out?
For a season of our life, I felt like that was all I was doing -
being in the kitchen, planning for the next meal. I started to become a
very unhappy woman - and as the saying goes
"when mama ain't happy, ain't
nobody happy".
So, we made some crazy changes and now we do this
crazy once a month shopping & cooking extravaganza thing. Our dear
friend Rachel, even joins us on our outings! She must be crazier than
us!
The bottom line is: we have a found a system that works for us
to allow us to eat healthy, help us stay within our budget, takes away the stress from meals, and helps us really enjoy being around the table together. 
So, last night we had Back Pocket Taco's - a new
found favorite. Quickly made up some rice, warmed up some tortillas and
threw some cheese, avocado and greek yogurt in bowls - and VIOLA! Dinner
is served. Tonight, black bean burritos and salad with apples and
walnuts.
Both of these recipes I got from a new favorite cook book called
- Dinner: A Love Story by Jenny Rosenstrach.
And now mama is happy and that's
make us all happy!
By the way, your man really just wants you to make you
happy, so gals - do all that you can to do that for yourself! (or tell
him what he can do to help you do that! When I was all crabby about
spending all my free time in the kitchen, Kurt came to my rescue and helped me
figure out how to make some changes.)
