we'll call this: salvageable



when your husband uses words and phrases like the following, in regards to the dinner you made:


did you check to see if the cottage cheese was good because there's mold on the cover - kids have already been served and are scarfing down

it's salvageable

maybe, start with something simpler next time?

and by simpler are we talking about a bowl of damn cereal???!! Cause I don't know how covering potato chunks with whatevers in the fridge, qualifies as level: difficult.

so I made some potato flats. That's what I'm calling them.

Potato Flats.

aka. Courts boobs after 8 kids - I suppose, my boobs after 3...but mostly, Courts;)



I would tell you how I made them but I think it's pretty obvious. And I need to remember that I'm the minority here...in that small group of people who never cooks;) 
What I think would be more useful to you, is to explain the steps I should have taken...and didn't.

1 apparently, you need to spray the tin foil with something - cooking spray, Pam or any sort of Olive Oil


2 pre-cook the potatoes and carrots before adding all toppings

3 check the cottage cheese for mold BEFORE serving

so there you have it. I'll be honest here...it felt good cooking something tonight. No matter how it turned out;) We recently did a great grocery trip and have an abundance of fruits and veggies in the house and a list of recipes (level: EASY;) for me to get started on. I've also worked-out every day this week (even just for 10min.!) - Jacobs watched me work-out every day this week, bum;). That being said...I've also had a slight slip-up almost every day this week...late.night.binging snacking:/

this is progress, though!!! I'm noticing where changes need to be made...where changes to our changes need to be made;)

the biggest one being those late night snacks. Jacob and I are night owls. We average on a midnight bedtime:/ SO I'm eating shit around 1030PM. This could be entirely avoided with an earlier bedtime. SO tonight I'm shooting for 930PM. Which seems impossible. But I shall try!:)

Potato Flats = delish;)

    Here is one of my go to, super simple dishes. 1 bag of chicken breasts (or any cuts really) thaw/marinade in Italian dressing (best if over night) sear on grill, throw in crock pot w more dressing. Easy and get TONS of compliments on. Serve w fresh veg and a salad. Bam. Dinner.
