I'm thinking about trying the cook for a week in a day concept. But then I just get stressed! I have a difficult time thinking about one meal in a day, can you imagine 14? I'm here all day with two young children, so I serve 3 meals a day plus snacks. Breakfast is usually fairly simple, and pancakes or French toast can be frozen and scrambled eggs take very little to prepare and cook, so lunch and supper would need to be prepared. Ugh! I don't think I'll start just yet! Maybe I can do just supper to start with!

Success!

I actually made something kinda yummy--oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. At least my two year old likes them. I had to move them out of his reach. I'm baking some chicken drumsticks with bbq sauce, canned greens (Glory brand already seasoned) and butter beans with plenty of margarine. Last night's supper was a great success as well. My husband surprised me and came home early to cook for us. He rarely has a bad experience cooking. He also decorates. And cleans my floors! I hope someday to be as good a housewife as he is! :)

I made some Boston baked beans the other day or so. We didn't eat them. It wasn't so much that they didn't taste good, but I didn't have any salt pork or bacon or smoked turkey to add to them. The first bite tasted just like the beans from a can. I was impressed! Then it turned into a bitter aftertaste. I didn't even bother feeding them to my family. Tonight wasn't so bad, though. I made turkey burgers smothered in a mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes (instant, of course) and cream style corn. The gravy was good, just a little too much sodium. It's my husband's favorite gravy for beef. I used a can of cream of mushroom soup, half a package of dry onion soup, and about a can of water and milk to thin it out. The burgers were good. I hate to brag too much about my cookingskills, since they are somewhat few, but I make good turkey burgers. They are always flavorful and juicy. Not much to say about the potatoes and corn, but it is yummy with the corn on the potatoes.
