I made pancakes for dinner tonight. Easy and quick.

I use this recipe for eggroll in a bowl but I shred my own cabbage and carrots and add diced zucchini and water chestnuts. I think chopped mushrooms would be good, too. Just trying to amp up the veg factor. And it's so easy!

Homemade torilla burritos

From our local drive thru

Their homemade tortillas are sooooo good.

Leftovers again.

Do I really need to feed them every day???

I'm tired and there's crafting to be done.

Recently I've made both corn chowder and white chicken chili from Carlsbad Cravings. My family loved both soups.

Yesterday I went to Costco and had a very bad migraine which thankfully lasted only 7 hours! We had Costco rotisserie chicken, sourdough bread, and avocado ranch salad from a bagged kit.

Today I'm still recovering so I'm making spaghetti, salad, and bread. I'm roasting spaghetti squash to mix in with the pasta.

Friday is DH's day to plan and do the bulk of the cooking. He's making pizza.

Saturday will be pot roast in the instant pot, creamed corn in the slow cooker from Carlsbad Cravings (this is soooo good), mashed potatoes, and salad.

Not sure about Sunday yet but we usually don't get home until 3 on Sundays so I have to think fast.

We used to do that as a child and I LOVED them. I have to get some for my kids. that's definitely a fend for yourself meal that would be fun.

Definitely a piece of childhood nostalgia. We didn't have them often so they seemed special.

DS1's girlfriend's younger brother was in the hospital earlier in November for a couple weeks, had surgery and has had a long recovery. They live about an hour away - gf lives here for school - so ds1 is taking them some meals that I've been working on today. Their mum is a single mum run off her feet so hoping that a few meals she can just freeze and use whenever or put straight in the oven will help.

I'm finishing off a lasagna, a pan of mac and cheese, a tray of the crock pot cream cheese chicken taquitos and made cookies earlier. I'm throwing in a ready to serve salad and some frozen veggies to round things out. But there's no way I can do my homemade mac and cheese without making some for us.

DS1 has also requested some for him and his room mate. It feels like I've been grating cheese all afternoon.
