First day of school

So I had my first day of school. And my second. And I've really enjoyed them. The more I learn about what a nurse actually does, the happier I am that I'm on this path.

Maybe you know this about me, maybe you don't, but I like to obsess about unimportant things. One of those things I've been obsessing about is feeding the family while I'm in school. When I'm scrambling to cobble together dinner, it makes me feel like life is out of control. So here's the plan I've come up with for the first month of school:

• Mondays--roasted chicken or pork w/ veggies
• Tuesdays--Mexican night
• Wednesdays--pasta night
• Thursday--leftovers

I figure that gives me enough guidance without locking me in to anything specific.

So tonight was Mexican night and I made a fajita "recipe" my sister-in-law, Heather, gave me years ago. It's been a long time since I made it, but it's officially going back in the regular rotation. I forgot how good it is!

Ready for it? Jar of salsa. Packet of taco seasoning. 4-5 chicken breasts. Throw it all in the crockpot. Shred the chicken once it is cooked and return to sauce to serve.

I sauteed some onions and peppers and made some guacamole to go along with it. So delicious!

And I do have to confess, last night's dinner was roasted chicken and veggies, and it was a complete bust. Nasty. One of those nights when the only thing left to do is pull out the cold cereal.
