There comes a time when it's just time to get back to a more normal life. OK, so spending significant time in a chair with my leg up isn't what I would consider normal, but this week I just needed a little more control over my life, and for me that meant making a meal or two.
We had some small servings of vegetables left in the fridge, so I went with a shepherd's pie idea for both Pi Day and St. Patrick's.
It used up those dribs and drabs of vegetables, potatoes we've had in the cooler, and the white cheddar in the cheese drawer for the mashed potatoes. This is a recipe that has several moving parts, so it happened in fits and starts over the course of the day....in between time in the chair with the leg up.
This soup also happened. It literally comes together in 30 minutes, start to finish, with 20 of that being simmering/blending time. We had this on the coldest day of the week and it really hit the spot.
When we had Marc's boys this past weekend we put together a sort-of St. Patrick's day-themed treat which the boys loved.
So it wasn't the most amazing cooking week, but it happened and it happened enough that we could have lunch leftovers and kid-friendly treats.
Baby steps! You succeeded!

Cheerio treats and other goodies in that category were a highlight of my childhood
