My First Day with Saving Dinner
I have a few more Christmases to document, but I was inspired tonight to write about my supper experience. Since having baby #4 and going back to homeschooling one of my children, I have felt under the weather a lot, due to a lack of rest. After I fell ill with 'in bed for 4 days' strep throat over Thanksgiving, I tearfully said to Jaret, "There have got to be things that I can let go, I just don't know what they are. I feel like everything that I'm doing is important."
He helped identify some of the less important of the important (sweet guy). One of them was to simplify supper. He said we would do frozen or take out two times a week. I was all for it at that point, being totally wiped out. But after some weeks of that (which were very helpful, especially during the holiday season) I thought it might be a better solution for me to try to find fast, healthy meals for each night. So no night would be no effort, but all nights, overall, could be less effort (and still healthy).
So began my search for healthy, fast recipes. A girl that babysits for us suggested "Saving Dinner". It has menus broken down seasonally, recipes for the main dishes, suggestions for sides, and grocery lists (with the optional side ingredients there, too)!!!! Let me tell you, I'm sure hoping we like the meals!
So tonight was the first night, and though you won't be able to tell by my amateurish photography, (the best photos on this blog are compliments of my wonderful hubby) it looked pretty impressive. Avi said it looked like Thanksgiving dinner. :) (sweet child). Anyway, it was pretty simple, and very tasty! May all the days be so good!
