Today was a long day. But thanks to planning ahead, I did not go straight for the carb-loading pasta that I adore when I'm feeling stressed and pressed for time. Whew!
You see, earlier in the week I started the family on chore lists. They were not particularly well-received, but the list of everyone's daily responsibilities has been a great stress reliever for me. Part of the chores includes assigning meal planning for each day of the week. Today was my hubby's day and although he didn't come up with the idea himself, he was responsible for picking up a roast, carrots and onion on his way home from work as well as getting it prepped and in the crockpot before he left for work at 1:30 p.m.
When I arrived home after a crazy day at work, the house smelled fabulous, the dishes were all done, and we were able to eat within 5 minutes. Talk about awesome! And I have a plan for the leftovers tomorrow which will make dinner prep a cinch.
Anyway, the piece de resistance was a yummy glass of wine at the end of a long day while enjoying a home cooked meal. Ahhhhh . . .
