But I’m ready to get back to normal homemaking, as normal as is possible anyway.
So last night I wrote out a meal plan
It’s not a day by day specific plan but I think we have all the ingredients on hand for these meals and they all sound good.
To get a head start, I decided to chop up some vegetables and I ended up doing a lot more veggies than first planned.
I wanted to make a big salad to eat for lunches and for a supper side dish.
I wanted to cut up onion, celery and bell pepper for the dirty rice I cooked today.
The 5 pound bag of carrots in the fridge drawer were starting to grow roots.
We had 3 onions on had and 1 was just starting to get soft.
So, I processed all of them and they will be waiting in the fridge for future meals.
Then I saw we had a half bag of potatoes. My husband peeled all them and I chopped them into cubes in the same chopper used for the onions, bell peppers, part of the carrots and celery.
It feels good to have ingredients ready for some easier home cooked meals in the future.
And I hope we don’t turn orange from eating so many carrots.
Our main meal today was dirty rice and it was so good!
I browned a half pound of lean ground beef and then cooked it with about a half cup each onion, celery and bell pepper.
Then I added about 3 cups of cooked brown rice, about 2 cups of cooked red beans, 2 t Cajun seasoning and 1 t sage.
It’s not pretty but it’s tasty.
About my husband, he had 3 doctor appointments this week. He has a shoulder impingement and will start physical therapy next week.
He also had treatments to his shoulder and back, he’s not good as new but is feeling a lot better.
I’m very thankful that for now, surgery is not in his future.
Thank you all for the YouTube channel recommendations 👍👍👍
