She has suggested some great recipes in her blog “Life in Pink & Blue” and I making my list and am going to have a shopping day. I tried to pick easy to make recipes, since God knows if it’s too complicated, I won’t do it. Also, the recipes could not have perishable items, meaning, if I don’t get around to cooking it till 3 weeks from now, I’d be okay. I tend to buy veggies for meals and never get around to cooking them, then find them in the crisper dark and gross and sometimes growing friends!

The meals I have chosen, along with ingredients and recipes are:

All of these recipes come from the site, Tasty Kitchen. Mandy seems to love the recipes she has found there and I trust her judgment, so I will try them too!

Possible setbacks: A few setbacks I foresee are:

  1. Class. Monday and Tuesday I have class at 6pm, so I can’t imagine cooking after I get home at 10pm. Perhaps I can do it for lunch, but most likely, that won’t happen…but I will keep that option open.
  2. Danny. My husband is coming home on Tuesday, yay! He has been guitar teching for a band for three weeks and is returning home. We aren’t sure what time he will come in, perhaps I can cook for him that night, but most likely, that last thing on his mind will be food!! tee hee
  3. Friends. Lately I have been hanging out a lot with my friends Brian and Tom or Denise. They have been inviting me too hang a lot since Danny is gone. Also, when Danny is here and busy, we usually hang then to. Perhaps I can have a dinner party :D
  4. Laziness. Sometimes, coming home from teaching all day, the last thing I want to do is cook. But I am hoping since I picked easy recipes that it will be easy and not seem like a big chore.

I’ll try and post when I actually get one cooked and have done a taste test. I need to find my crock pot!

We had dinner at Spaghetti Warehouse and then headed next door to Six (owned by Lance Armstrong). It was a pretty fun night. A total girls night out. We were at the club till about 12:30am and we headed out. I expected to go to another club, ready to dance!. But everyone else was tired and done! Perhaps my brain thought, “Hey girls night out! I haven’t done this in forever! Let’s dance!!”, but alas, I did not get to do that. I really thought about going to a dance club by myself. The gay bars were right down the street, I could have danced in peace and been complimented on my outfit! But no, I figured I’d go to. I’m really not much of a drinker, but I love to dance (although my skills on the floor are terrible). Besides the early night, the whole time was great.
