Great Week of Cooking

I made it to Jazzercise three times this week and I feel great.  Yes, after being gone for about 2 months I am pretty sore but that tells me that I'm working the right muscles.  I have to get some energy out.  

Monday I did the least favorite task of owning my own business.  I had to write out quarterly checks for federal and state taxes.  I know I always paid them but someone took the money out before I saw it.  Now I have to take the money out and see it.  I am happy that I actually have to write checks, it means I am making money.  Or that's what I told myself while writing the checks.  

Monday we had Buffalo Chicken Casserole and Applesauce from the freezer.  It heated up well, I wasn't sure when I saved it but it was good.  My husband had a wood working meeting that was rescheduled from snow week.  

Tuesday was leftovers for me, I had meatloaf and mashed potatoes.  Delicious!  Wednesday I cooked for a personal chef customer and we had a class that night so I needed something easy.  I had chicken soup in the freezer and that was a perfect meal.  With some flaxseed crackers. 

Thursday afternoon I volunteered to teach a cooking class at Cross Keys High School for 25 senior high school girls that attend a program run by Athena's Warehouse.  They are participating in a series of life skills classes, they can get prom dresses and I think even a grant.  

We made 2 quick and inexpensive meals in the French teacher's classroom.  I can cook pretty much anywhere!  The girls asked about my job and loved the food.  So much fun for me.  When I got home we did go out for Mexican food and relaxed a little. It was a nice evening. 

Yesterday afternoon I had a meeting with a new customer.  She has some food requirements - diabetes, weight loss, lactose intolerant and of course the food should be tasty.  We came up with a menu and I'm cooking for her in February. 

Last night I decided I needed to use the package of Curry Simple I had in the pantry.  Check them out at www.currysimple.com.  I used shrimp from the freezer, onion, red bell pepper, broccoli,green onions and rice.  Very good meal.  Very easy!  We also had birthday cake for my husband.  I had to buy it, ran out of time this week for baking. 

Today I am off to the Mall of Georgia to do some work for KitchenAid.  I'm trying a new recipe tonight from Cooking Light - Buffalo Chicken.  

Good week and ready for a good weekend!
