I just described [to my sister] what I'm cooking for dinner tonight:"I'm throwing some noodles in a pan and some sauce in a pan and darn it, they're gonna like it."
I'm tired of cooking. I hate cooking sometimes. It seems as though I'm cooking the same things all the time (except for last Friday night when I made homemade Buffalo chicken strips, a la Rachel Ray). I need a cooking time out. For about a month. Or five.
So tonight, it's a Prego spaghetti night. Noodles, sauce, garlic bread. No meat sauce, no extra mushrooms. Nada.
So much for 'mother of the year' for this time around.
Go for it!
ReplyDeleteI also get tired of cooking every day and feel like I make the same things every week, probably because I DO make the same things every week.
I try to mix it up and have easy nights...plain old pasta and sauce and then one or two nights a week have something a little more elaborate. If my husband didn't work late 4 out of the 5 nights during the week, I know he would cook more, but then we would eat at like 9:30 at night!
Oh don't give it another thought--that is a "staple" in my house :)
ReplyDeleteHow can a woman, work, shuttle kids where they need to be, get the house in order, prepare for the fresh hell of the next day AND get a gourmet meal on the table.
Don't sweat the small stuff darlin!
