Cook 1 day - Eat all week

OK I'm trying. I'm trying to learn how to cook on Monday and then eat that food all week long. Summer is fun, I shouldn't be stressing about what to eat. I also don't want to be running through the drive thru more than once a week. Our weeks are pretty scheduled and Monday is our day home. I cook and clean and the boys do their chores on Monday. We must learn that in order to play, the work has to get done first. How can we ever enjoy our play time if we know that we need to get home to get other things done?
The boys are learning about chores this summer. They are putting away laundry, emptying and taking out the trash and recycling, cleaning their room, and cleaning their bathroom. It's been great to have their help! They seem to be enjoying it (well as much as 6 and 10 year old boys can).

So today I've cooked homemade meatballs (we will use these for spaghetti and meatball subs), I've also cooked chicken and a new broccoli rice dish. We still have the fixin's for quesadillas and I will make BBQ beef sandwiches another day. Super simple recipe that cooks in the crock pot for 10 hours.

I'm very proud of the progress that both the boys and I have made on getting this house together. This will help with the better eating too! I love knowing what's in my food...

SO I'm going to sign off and give myself a huge pat on the back....we'll maybe I'll just have a glass of sweet tea = )
