In addition to it being too quiet, there is too much food in this house! What an adjustment to go from cooking for 5.5 people to cooking for just 1.5! Turns out just two chicken breasts actually last me four days. I do not like to eat the same thing for four days in a row (unless it's a Chopped Chicken Cobb Salad from Panera). A head of broccoli that used to disappear in one night now sits in the fridge so long I end up having to throw it out. That 5 pound bag of potatoes started creeping me out with all of its' eyes staring at me every time I open the pantry!
I did manage to grill some chicken burgers the other day and made just a few homemade "fries" to go with, and a fresh salad. Unfortunately, the romaine has already started to wilt because it's not being consumed quickly enough. At this rate, those Panera salads are easing themselves into becoming part of my daily diet.Today I cooked a homemade pizza, one of my favorites! I take a thin crust, top it with a
glaze of olive oil and italian herb seasoning, a thin layer of pizza sauce, mozzarella, green peppers, onions and turkey pepperoni. To top it off, I sprinkle more italian herb seasoning on top and bake it at 425 for 10 minutes. It's really quick and delicious. However, since I made this for lunch, I didn't feel like cooking for dinner. Yes, there were plenty of leftovers of this pizza. Who wants to eat the same thing for 2 meals a day? Not me. So...I had to run out to drop some stuff off anyways so to Panera I went.[caption id="attachment_519" align="alignleft" width="180" caption="Doesn't this look WAY more appealing?"]

i agree! I wouldnt want to cook for just myself either. i reallly want some of that cobb salad. cobb salad is one of my favs.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to my Menu Plan for this week if you are interested.
Thanks for the link! The cobb salad is delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried a chicken burger. But I think I might have to. They look good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I want to follow your blog but I don't see a GFC follow button. Maybe I'm blind? Or maybe GFC is having issues....... again. But I'm going to add you to my feed reader. Does that count?
They are delicious! Sadly, Wordpress.com blocks scripts so I cannot add GFC to my blog, but I do have Networked Blogs. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like cooking for one - but maybe it's because everyone in my house is so picky that I end up making four different meals anyway!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes, that would be even worse I suppose...I'm lucky in that sense that I don't have to cook so many different options at least!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great recipe! It's strange not having the kids around isn't it. In the summer my wife moves out to the lake for the summer while I commute out on weekends. It's to quite for me without the kids around so I know what you mean! Great site!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! It is always quiet when the big kids aren't here...
