At "Home" in Redmond, WA

Well I've been here 3 weeks and we've all settled into a pretty good routine!! I've become primary care taker of Will, Ethan and Joshua with the exception of bed/bath time and Chad still oversees those routines. I've also become chief cook and I'm enjoying cooking which prior to coming to WA, I gave up about 14 years ago when all the girls left home!! I thought I'd give you a rundown of some of the meals we've had.

1. Roast, Rice & Gravy with Tossed Green Salad
2. Flank Steak with Lemon-Tarragon Sauce, Roasted Potatoes, Tossed Green Salad
3. Bowtie Pasta with Chicken and Dried Tomato Pesto and Tossed Salad
4. One night I took the boys to eat at MacDonald's while Lindsey and Chad ate hospital fare
5. Cream of Potato Soup & Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
6. Chad cooked Hot Dogs on the Grill
7. Purchased a Roasted Chicken, Spaghetti Squash, Tossed Green Salad
8. Corned Beef Hash with Fried Eggs and Toasted Garlic French Bread
9. Chicken Picatta, Green Beans Almondine, Tossed Salad, and Spaghetti Squash
10. Chad grilled steaks one night and I made baked potatoes with all the trimmings and of course Tossed Green Salad
11. Poached Salmon with Dill Sauce, Risotto, Green Salad
12. Grilled Pork Chops, Corn on Cob & Asparagus and Potato Salad
13. Made Sliced Grilled Pork (with left over Pork Chops) with Mushrooms and Gravy and Corn cut off the cob. Also served left over Green Beans and Spaghetti Squash with Parmesan Cheese and Rice Pudding for dessert.
    
14. 7/9/08 - Oven "Fried" Chicken, Mashed Potatoes & Cream Gravy, Green Beans and Sourdough Bread
15. Lasagna, Garden Vegetable Salad & Garlic French Bread
    

(We're eating a lot of Green Salad because I've joined Weight Watchers and I can have all of that I want - LOL)

I also made a loaf of Banana Nut Bread, fresh Blueberry Muffins and Banana Nut Muffins and a Fresh Strawberry Pie with Whipped Cream Topping. Now that I'm trying to remember the meals I've cooked, I can't recall everything, but I know I've done more cooking than I've done in 15 years. I could get used to being unemployed!!!
