It Was a Dinner Miracle
I cooked tonight! All we had was a basketball game today and now the girls play the first game so we were home before 4:30PM.
I made pork chops using Shake N Bake barbeque glaze. I also made mashed potatoes, from a box of course. I also made a salad. It’s usually so tough to get good salad ingredients in my area in the winter but things looked good this week.
Ultimately, I’d like to have the kids eat more vegetables but it just doesn’t seem to happen. The little one won’t eat mashed potatoes but likes salad. Since salad is so much better for you than mashed potatoes, I’m OK with it.
Then, they actually made some dessert tonight. For Christmas, I got an ice cream maker and they made chocolate frozen yogurt. It was the first time we strayed away from basic vanilla ice cream.
I was so worn out by making dinner, I didn’t wash the pans or the ice cream maker yet. I’ll do that tomorrow. Hey, you can’t have everything.
