Well, this week has about knocked me on my butt! I've done so much running around, what with my mom's birthday, David's soccer practice & game, grocery shopping, tons of little errands....I'm worn out!
Today I am going to share two of my crazy-day, (or lazy-day?!) dinner ideas.
When we are running short on time, or I'm tired and not up for making a full dinner, I love to do an appetizer dinner! That's what we had last night ~ chili cheese dip, Friday's spinach artichoke dip, and Friday's potato skins with some Tostito's scoops. Everyone got a plate with a little of each of the above, with not a whole lot of effort on mom's part! The chili cheese dip is canned chili, a little cream cheese, and some cheddar cheese, all heated together and mixed well. And the Friday's apps were on sale B1G1 at Publix this week, so I paid under $3 for both of them. It was a nice change of pace, and we all enjoyed it! We had a soccer game, so this was a quick and easy dinner.
Another easy but great dinner idea is to make breakfast! Tonight my fabulous daughter volunteered to cook - she made pancakes & turkey bacon. Delicious! We usually have eggs & sometimes grits, too. But it was 91 degrees and so hot, she didn't want to stand over the stove anymore. (She got a taste of what her mom goes through on hot evenings! lol) Everyone enjoys the breakfast foods, and there's just something fun about eating pancakes for dinner!
I also do a lot of freezer cooking (mostly chicken dishes - cranberry chicken, teriyaki, BBQ, Buffalo, etc) but sometimes we get tired of chicken!!
Do y'all have any easy, go-to dinner ideas?
I know, this is a totally lame post, but my brain is mush right now!! I have a couple more crafts in the works, and hope to finish my fall wreath tomorrow too! So something more interesting will be up soon. Til then, TGIF!!
