Baked Potatoes

Okay, the oven is fixed so I really have no excuse for the lack of blog posts! Just distracted by life, I guess.

Tonight it's baked potatoes in the crock pot. Topping options will be diced ham, cheese, diced tomatoes, sour cream, butter, and broccoli.

I'm really going to try to work out a new weekly meal schedule soon. Really.

Your guess is as good as mine

Well, it's 4:30 and I don't know what we're having for dinner. Peter and Kate have Taekwondo from 6-6:45 which makes it kind of tricky. I was going to make chili, but I really want Trader Joe's cornbread with it and my oven is broken so that's out. And since Pete won't be home for dinner and it will be late and I'll be trying to get children bathed and in bed on time I just can't decide what to have! Maybe oatmeal? Scrambled eggs? Cereal?

Smoked Sausage

Glorified hot dogs, really. Last night we had turkey smoked sausage, boiled potatoes, corn, green beans and applesauce. It was a hit with my pickiest eater- why do I not make it more often? I think I will now!

Pitas

Saturday I got to go to Trader Joe's (a store I LOVE and try not to be bitter about the fact that it's an hour away) and I got some pita bread just because it looked good and it was cheap there. I cut some chicken and some steak in strips and put the steak in soy sauce and the chicken in italian dressing to marinate for awhile. I'm just going to cook it on the stove and we'll put it in the pitas with some good salad mix. I might make some rice to eat with it too- not sure what I'm going for here, but rice just sounds good- and could go inside the pitas as well. If I had planned ahead I would have bought some red and yellow peppers to go with it.
