Ok I hate to bitch but here it goes...Anyone who knows me knows I don't eat red meat. That means only chicken, turkey and fish. Anyone who knows Dan knows that he's a beef farmer, so this makes making supper a challenge. Well almost 3 years ago I found out that I'm also reacting to dairy, wheat and eggs. If cooking before was hard now it's a huge pain in the ass!! With four kids who are typical picky eaters I dread trying to figure out what to cook for the family.
Tonight actually was easy - leftovers. There were two leftover porkchops from Friday night, leftover mushroom soup and grilled cheese from yesterday's lunch and leftover spaghetti from last night. I warmed it all up and then fried up some chicken and potatoes too. I threw some veggies with it and voila - supper to suit all of us! For dessert since Dan had 3 kids at the barn I had time to make something. Not just one thing of course but two. Something good for Dan and the kids and something edible for me. (Rice flour, and no eggs make it hard to bake something good)
So there you have it. My daily struggle to cook healthy, tasty, fast/easy food for all of us. Cooking like this also means more dishes, and more $$ for groceries!!
Oh well, it could be worse I know. I try to count my blessings everyday but today was a day I had to vent about this!!

Hey Michelle...Looks like you're figuring it all out. I have nights with supper like that too, but I eat meat and all the other. Just find it difficult to please all some days!! Talk at you soon...Tammy
