It’s birthday season here, there are like 6 of them in 6 weeks, I’ve been painting wood crafts for gifts, mini tool box, and toy box I call a treasure box any thing can be put in it, toys, school papers, what every they want. It is amazing what a coat of paint will do! I still have a small mini shelf to paint or finish too.
The kitchen smells great! I consider my self a throw together cook a little of this and a little of that most of my recipes are in my head. I have dinner in the crock pot, some herbs I grow with meat and veggies and tomato sauce yummy! I just need to make a salad to go with it now.
I made up a big batch of chicken last weekend for a family reunion and the food did & I did not make it there so it’s been great I’ve had less cooking this week, and dh has had chicken in his lunches.
I do not really like freeze ahead meals because I like to cook but I have times I need some thing quick to prepare and those are the nights we have frozen burritos, or fish portions, or sandwiches, sausage dogs or chef salad. I have tried some mini pizzas and we like them I’ve made them in the past and will try to get some of those made up ahead of time. The grand kids like to help when we make those up. I think that it’s time for some of that again now I like to use “Bisquick” because it does not have yeast and I seem to do better with less yeast.
I’ve been trying to stay on track with my health and fitness program and it’s been extra challenging with the smoke and heat. I’ve been walking shorter distances and doing chores mopping, yard work etc. for my exercise that plan seems to be working I’ve dropped a few pounds and getting back down to what I was before the holiday goodie season happened last year I’ll have to rethink that this year!
