Dinner every night

Sunday I made a chicken potato casserole to be sure I had leftovers for Monday night.  Monday night I was teaching a class at the Y so I had an early dinner and my husband had dinner when he got home from work. 

Tuesday is always forage for myself night so that was fine.  My husband has a meeting Tuesday nights. 

I roasted some chicken breasts and thighs on Wednesday and served them with fresh green beans and stuffing from the freezer.  I planned for cold roast chicken for Thursday night since I was working a bridal event for KitchenAid in the evening.  I made a chicken sandwich before I left for the event and my husband had chicken and stuffing when he got home.  At least I'm pretty sure he did, he's been having a busy week at work and is on call so we didn't chat much when I got home last night. 

Today is an easy pasta dinner because I am teaching an in home class for an individual from 4 until about 6.  She wants to start eating some meat but because she's been a vegetarian for 20 years does not know how to choose meat or cook it.  We're going to meet, shop and then do some basic cooking techniques.  So when I get home I'm pretty sure I can boil some pasta, saute some sausage and spinach and mix it all together.  We can't go out since my husband is on call.  Also before he left this morning he said he might be working really late.  So this dinner might migrate to tomorrow and I'll forage.  It will work out. 

The only way I can have dinner at home every night is to menu plan.  And as part of that plan use leftovers and quick things that are in the freezer.  I enjoy dinner at home though and it's worth it to me to take 30 minutes or so to plan a menu while looking at my calendar.  No stress, good food!
