Starting out with a question: What do you do when you're sick (flu and food sounds awful)? Leave kids to fend for themselves? Cook anyway? Invite everyone to have sprite and crackers too?
Managed to throw together a half-meal-plan tonight, but only because we have to go grocery shopping tomorrow.
Sunday: A fancy meal of taters and steamed carrots because my husband and I were too sick to make anything else. Wally (my 4 yr old) thought we were at a restaurant. This is why I wonder why I cook real meals on other days. Moving on...
Monday: Pizza
Tuesday: Grown-up tuna salad
Wednesday: Stuffed mexican sweet potatoes
Thursday: Work-party (taking a fruit side, suggestions???)
Friday: Spaghetti
Saturday: Baked potato soup
Sunday: A bunch of Christmas treats (and stuffed bell peppers)
Have a great week all!
My go to fruit salad recipe is this. (not technically just a fruit side but so yummy and easy!)
ReplyDelete1 box (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding
32 oz. container vanilla yogurt
8 oz. container Cool Whip (thawed)
1 pkg. frozen raspberries ( I usually use the bleded frozen berries because that's what is usually in my freezer but any frozen berry would work.)
I also have never tried this but it's been a pin of mine on Pinterest and looks super easy.
1lb strawberries, sliced
15oz can mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup mini marshmallows
2 large bananas (or 3 small bananas,) sliced
Mix all together except bananas. Chill, add sliced bananas right before serving.
GOOD LUCK!
So sorry you were sick last week, Angela! I hope you're all feeling better now. As for your question: I've been thinking about it all week and here's what I've come up with- if you're too sick to make food really the only thing to do is to call your northerly friend, Shelly, and have her bring some dinner/babysitting for the kiddos so you can get some rest. If she's not around then I think we'd opt for cheese quesadillas around our house.
