Every time I have a Tuesday post due, I really like it to be a Toot Your Horn Tuesday post. Unfortunately, if I am going to be totally honest with myself, it’s a True Confessions Tuesday.
I have been totally failing in the menu planning and grocery shopping department here at the old homestead. School starts tomorrow and I’ve been trying to cram all the summer I can into these last days of our break. We have eaten out more than we have in the past year and when I cook, if you can call it that, it’s hot dogs or burgers on the grill or carry out pizza. This stops now!
Today, I am taking inventory of what is in the pantry and the freezer. I am planning a menu for the next week and making a grocery list. I am going to the store to get healthy food. The crockpot is coming out of retirement. It is my best friend when I am working. I ordered a produce box from the health food store. I had been getting those quite faithfully at the end of the school year. I don’t think I have ordered one in the past month or six weeks.
My husband has been very patient with me and my lack of cooking, but I think his patience is wearing thin. When he asked last night what was for dinner and I answered leftover pizza, hot dogs or burgers, he didn’t look too happy. I bet he’ll be surprised when he comes home from golf to a fully stocked fridge and pantry and a real dinner cooking on the stove.
While I could have been all sunshine and flowers with this post and tooted my horn about my walking, I took the harder road and told you about my failings. How about you? Anything you’d like to get off your chest? The comment section is open for business!
