Ever since Shawn and I met, seven plus years ago, I have loved to cook. I don't know if it is actually the joy of cooking or if it is the joy of watching my husband endulge in something I have made for him.
With my work schedule, I am not as fancy as I used to be in the kitchen, but for what I lack, Shawn makes up for. So if you ever come to our home, please be prepared to bring your appetite.
Though I have to admit, since Shawns mouth surgery has taken place, I have not had any idea of what to cook. Spaghetti has too much seasoning, any type of meat is too tough, so it has been a challenge (and a joy.) But I have begun what I call, "Lazy Cooking."
Lazy cooking, a new term near and dear to my heart, are meals in a box. These boxed meals, are actually good. A step above a hamburger helper, these Banquet Homestyle boxed dinners are found in the Mac and Cheese aisles of the grocery story, cost $4.99, feed Shawn, Tyler and I, with a little left over and are actually pretty good.
The other night we had their chicken and biscuit dinner, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Tonight we had their turkey, dressing, carrots, gravy, and peas and tomorrow we may have their ham and cheesy hashbrown dinner. Why go to all the trouble of cooking when I can have all of the necessary food groups covered in less than $5.
If you haven't tried these, I highly recommend that you at least try one. Hey, you never know, "lazy cooking" may be a new weekly celebratory day, possibly replacing Pizza Day.
Naa, they are good, but not that good.
