Sometimes we have what I call "scrounge night". In other words, mom and dad don't feel like cooking. Stephanie will graze, going back and forth with random things in her hand. Baby carrots. A dinner roll. Cheese and crackers. If I'm not watching carefully, pull & peel licorice. Last time, I decided on a grilled cheese sandwich for myself. Nick had one. Then another. Then a third. For a kid, he sure can pack it in.
Anyhow, DH has a tried and true quickie meal that is fast and tastes great! I buy bagels when they go on sale, and I use coupons. Same with Pizza Quick sauce and mozzerella cheese. He simply spreads the sauce on the bagel, adds mozzerella and toppings (small pieces of lunchmeat are quite good in a pinch) and bakes at 350. With some salad, it's a great meal. I'm trying very hard to resist the pull of fast food. Sometimes I'm outvoted 3 to 1 and McDonald's it is. Most of the time I can sway DH's vote and pull him from the dark side LOL. Sometimes I give in and happily munch fries. If I set a goal of no spend days that will really help. This month I'm shooting for 10. Yesterday was the first one - 9 to go! This should be interesting.
Time to quit stalling and go work out.
