Dinner on a school night
Tue Sep 11, 2007 at 12:06:32 PM PDT
Okay, here it is, 2:00 in the afternoon and suddenly, as if this has never happened before, I am wondering what to fix for dinner. You would think with two 10 year olds in the house, I would have figured this out a long time ago. Surely it's not that hard? Dinner comes around every day, so it certainly shouldn't be a surprise to me that it's here again, and that as the SAHM I am the one responsible for preparing something.
And, yet, here I am again.
In fairness to myself, let me say that I thought we'd all be coming in at different times from various lessons, meetings, etc. today, so grabbing something on the go was part of my plan. Well, that went out the window when I went to lunch with a friend and my car failed to start. Now I have no vehicle to transport kids to and from various activities, and therefore, no way to pick up something quick while I'm out. Looks like we'll all be staying in tonight [except DH; he has a late meeting and will arrive well past dinner time]. But I didn't make it to the grocery store! What to fix?
I mentioned last week about being in a food rut. Pasta with pesto, build your own tacos, homemade pizza, honey-mustard chicken with roasted potatoes. I need some new ideas --- new recipes, new menu ideas, anything you want to share.
Can you help me out, fellow MTers? What shall I prepare for dinner tonight?
