Opa!

When I began my “i will make dinner every night this month” decision/resolution I was ultimately aiming for the creation of a menu for a weeks worth of meals instead of frantically scanning the pantry and then any recipe I could find with those ingredients. Oh well you have to start somewhere. My list turned out to be a tiny bit too ambitious but the great thing about lists is they carry over to the next day. This is evidenced by the fact that I was up at 7:30 this morning cleaning the kitchen before I had to go to work. My list progress is as follows: I did make dinner and it turned out delicious. I made steak fajitas in the crockpot (steak, cayenne,cumin, lime juice, salsa, garlic, onion + 6 hrs on low setting) and it was so tender and perfect that I think my hubby went back for thirds or fourths. This is extremely important because wednesday nights I chase 12 four year olds around for a hour and a half so when I come home I might be able to carry the crockpot to the table. Maybe. That was pretty much it for my list. No laundry, minimal stretching, kitchen untouched. But I am making progress on all those things today. 

Today’s List:

-Make Shrimp a la Grecque. I love greek food. I think Friday’s list will include making Gyros and Tzatziki sauce.

-Buy ingredients for Gyros, tzatziki, and homemade soft pretzels

-Laundry (one day….)

-Walk Riley

-Finish cleaning the kitchen

 

I think I’ve decided that there may be two categories of lists. One is domestic - laundry, shopping, cleaning, dinner  and one is extracurricular- working out, walking the puppy, running errands, taking long baths ect. I think if I break it down like this then I may get more accomplished. Maybe I’ll even plan next weeks dinner menu. Ready for a great day.
