First, a "eat all the food" chuckle from my house. I have a reasonably picky teen. The rule is that, if he doesn't like the dinner I've made, he's in charge of finding something else suitable. He was not a fan of meatloaf last night, so I suggested that he make a taco out of the taco meat I'd defrosted. He makes the taco (tortilla, meat, cheese) & after a few bites says... what is this? It's not taco meat. Turns out that it was Korean beef. When I was organizing the freezer, I spotted the container, labeled it as taco meat, & went on my merry way. He was unimpressed with the "Korean beef taco", but did finish it. Tonight we're having actual tacos, and my husband will be finishing up the leftover Korean beef. ;-)
The kids/husband are going skiing tomorrow, so I used up a jar of marinara & meatballs (freezer), added spices, & prepped their dinner for Saturday. Picked up bread & a bagged salad & they will be good to go. I also sent breakfast fixings & snacks. They will eat lunch on the mountain, but otherwise, this will get them through the weekend.
On my weekend list (I'm staying home & reveling in the gloriousness of a quiet house), i'm going to make soup to restock the freezer, prep meals for the week, do some cleaning & organizing, work out & anything else that sounds appealing!
I also finished off the last of the Trader Joes dried pineapple, but I'm unconvinced that's a positive, as I finished it in just a few days & love it dearly. It's no hardship to eat.
