What are you having for Dinner?

Because I would like someone to decide for me. I swear, we go to the store, spend enough, carry them up three flights, spend 10 minutes putting everything away and then I'm like "now what" - I have no more energy to even think about the possibilities.

I worry I'm starving my husband. I eat smaller portions and can be satisified off random leftovers and cereal. Mr Smith doesn't like cereal or grilled cheese so I throw my hands in the air. But he will ask you for another piece of chocolate cake.

He has locked focus on the newest/lastest dragon book. He'll hate me for calling it that; I just know it's fantasy. And I feel like there is always a dragon in fantasy books.

But let's not lose focus. I need your easy, good tasting recipes (that don't make you too fat)

Here is what we currently have on our list:

enchiladas (these are good & I don't need a recipe and therefore - no extra energy)

quesadilas - see above.

hawaiin rice - all you need is random stuff from the cupboard & fridge

southwestern burritos (takes a little more thought than enchiladas)

soup (if I happen to have celery and broth - two things that always end up going bad)

pasta alfredo-ish with broccoli

meat & potatoes (mr smith's favorite meal)

breakfast burritos (a close second favorite mr smith meal - must have bacon)

I think at the present time, I need recipes that I don't have to follow. I used to pinterest experiment, but it's not happening these days. I miss those meals, I do, but let's focus on reality.

I guess we could throw spaghetti on there, but I'm on an anti-spaghetti kick.

Any easy casseroles?

what vegetarian meals do you have?

how can i improve a simple pasta dish?

These are questions I want answered.

don't ignore me.

XOXO

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together. Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children. 2018-2022 were ver...

To Live is to Change

I love change. I love variety. I love mixing things up just because I can. It's helpful, but it's kind of a double edged sword. I'm terrible at consistency, even though Clifton Strengthfinder told me that was my #5 strength (I think they meant something closer to wanting things fair & equitable which isn't wrong). I not only move furniture in & out of my life, or make sure we don't eat the same thing too often... but I love that I can give my kids a flexible education. God knew this is something I would love & has allowed for it even when it comes with significant sacrifices (as many good things do). This has been a beautiful way to grow me over the last 4 years, and I definitely missed it, but I also started to doubt ever doing it again, which felt odd. I found myself questioning why I wanted to take the harder course. I had a little break with just E & M at home, but now B is back too, so I'm giving up some me time (I was never good at it any ...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that. I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...
