Fallen Behind

So, I've fallen way behind on this challenge. I did not cook for myself while the husband was out of town. Just couldn't get up the energy to do it.

On a positive note, I did go to Costco, the meat market, AND Kroger on Saturday, getting food for the week and my Thanksgiving dinner contribution. This much grocery shopping is unheard of for me, especially in one day.

We also cooked two meals at home on Sunday. Eggs, toast, and chicken sausages for breakfast and corned beef brisket sandwiches and fries for dinner. While these were not new recipes, I cannot remember the last time we cooked a full day's meals at home.

So I consider all of this a win even though I didn't get around to the new recipes. It's all movement in the right direction for me. I even left my husband with plenty to eat while I'm gone, which was very housewifey for me if I do say so myself.

I don't know if I will get to the corned beef chowder because I am out of town tonight and tomorrow for work and I'm sure the corned beef will not survive until I get back. We'll see. Also, I have the ingredients for the lettuce wraps so I will make them later this week for sure.
