1. I love having hot meals brought to me but I just don't want to have another baby or be sick to get them
2. One of our MOPS meetings this year is talking about cooking and alternative ways to cook for busy moms.
Honestly, this is an experiment but I don't know if I have words to describe how excited I am. Here is the schedule. I get dinner brought to me on Mondays and Thursdays and I take dinner on Tuesdays. Wednesdays are always spent at church and Fridays are usually "Pizza" days or "go out to eat" days. The weekend is a free-for-all anyway so for my family, we will most likely eat the left-overs. How awesome is that. I cook one day and rest for six. Why didn't I think of this before?
The menu for today was Cheesy Chicken Chowder and Cheesy Texas Toast. (Can I get a hip hip horray for Cheese!!) It was DELICIOUS!! Here is the verdict from the family:
John: ate 2 1/2 bowls and said "mmmm" the whole time
Kara: I give it 3 thumbs up (I don't have 3 thumbs, but if I did...)
Hannah: "This is actually good, mom. Can you homemake this too?"
Abigail: ate 2 bowls and her favorite part was the celery. Who knew?
Rebekah: Seemed to enjoy it but her favorite part was the bread.
I would say this meal was a hit with the Wagnons!!! Stay tuned for tomorrow. On the menu...Lasagna and Brownies!!! Yeah Baby!
