This week I was teased by a friend for serving bagels and
hot cocoa to my kids for dinner. Sigh. It was one of those days. We've all had them, when we are running around trying to get everything done, trying to keep everyone happy, but have completely forgotten about dinner. Well, Monday was one of those days for me. I have two standby foods that I serve when that happens: toasted bagels with cream cheese or scrambled eggs with cheddar. Not exactly well balanced meals to be sure, but still food on the table in minutes without serving takeout.
But, it doesn't stop there. This morning I served cupcakes for breakfast. We had a birthday this week and those leftover cupcakes with OJ made everyone happy. If you are rolling your eyes right now thinking "who does this girl think she is writing a healthy food blog," then take a look at
my very first blog post from October 18, 2011 and know that this behavior was predicted!
What do you serve when you have failed to plan for dinner?
After being prepared all week, last night I ordered pizzas at 4:45. I could have made breakfast for dinner, which is a go-to solution for me, but I was tired and lazy and didn't want to drag the kids inside and away from playing in the gorgeous weather. Take-out pizza is a lame splurge, but a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do!
ReplyDeleteI've been known to serve popcorn & fruit for dinner when I do not feel like cooking. Even if I have something planned! This usually seems to happen on a Friday night, after a long & busier-than-normal week. My family loves it, LOL!
