Dinner has been an Afterthought Lately
Now that school and activities are really ramped up for the year, dinner is not been a top priority lately. It’s so hard to plan and cook around the crazy schedule. Every day provides a new dinner challenge.
Tonight it was basketball from 4:30 to 6:00 then Christmas Pageant meeting at 6:00. Some of us ate during the basketball time and others ate at around 7PM.
Embarrasingly I gave the kids frozen dinners tonight. I usually only save these for emergency situations because they would eat them every night. Me, I had some leftovers since no one else will eat them.
Tomorrow I am making pork tenderloin. I haven’t decided how I’m going to cook it yet. I have a few recipes for pork tenderloin that I enjoy very much. I always have trouble determining sides to go with it.
I’m trying to get the kids to eat more vegetables but it’s not going too well. Sometimes I’ll give them some fruit but they’d rather have macaroni and cheese as a side. By the way, pickles don’t count as a vegetable. If they did, we’d eat more vegetables than anyone.
