Normally, I hate grocery shopping. That's because normally, I go to the store on my way home from work ... and I'm tired ... and I'm hungry ... so I pick up a bunch of pre-packaged, pre-cooked foods that I can just throw together and nuke in the microwave. I walk out of the store with two little bags and about $100 less in my checking account. And people are not nice at 5:30 in the afternoon. I guess they're all like me ... tired and hungry.
But today was a joyous day at the grocery!! Today is Friday and I'm off work today. So I sat down and actually looked at some cookbooks and made out a list. I marched into the store with a smile on my face and a song in my ear. Well, technically the sound was coming out over the PA of the grocery store, but it was a nice song so I hummed along.
And because I had a plan ... and bought food to actually prepare and cook ... I walked out of the store with SEVEN bags and $100 less in my checking account. Hmmm ... there might be a lesson to learn here.
So ... what am I cooking? (I knew you were wondering -- isn't it amazing that I can read your mind?) I've got broccoli-cheese soup in the crock pot. I'm browning ground turkey for my Lazy Lasagna (uses egg noodles instead of the long, lasagna ones). And I've got the 'fixin's (did I tell you I live in Tennessee??) for chicken and dressing casserole, ham and hash brown casserole, and kielbasa and white beans. Mmmmm. I plan on cooking everything this afternoon and freezing it so that next week when I'm tired and hungry after working all day, I can just pop a frozen, homemade dinner in the oven, toss a salad and heat up some veggies, and wah-lah!! Dinner is done!
Time to go stir the ground turkey ....
