Thank goodness it's..

Friday!

Today has been a busy one for me... drop my son off at daycare, stop at Home Depot to get supplies to try my hand at caulking the bathroom (seriously??), deposit my less-than-stellar severance check at the bank, head home for a 9am phone interview, hit the gym, stop at the grocery store, stop at Walgreens, get the car washed, start cleaning like a mad woman. Whew.

Tonight for dinner it's very impressive. I plan on opening the jar of Classico pasta sauce, warming it in a pan, placing the box of spaghetti in the boiling water, cook, drain... ta-dah! Dinner is served. Yep, nothing fancy this evening. Maybe a glass or 2 of wine... yes, that would definitely be good.

I usually do art night with my son on Friday's. It used to be getting dolled up to go to a bar, now it's putting on something old so if I get covered in fingerpaint it's OK! I think we'll make a sign for Grandma & Grandpa's visit tomorrow. I bought glitter, that might have been a mistake.. we shall see.

I thought today I'd officially answer the question I get all of the time... Do I really cook like this every day?

Yes, I suppose I do. Not EVERY day but I try to plan out about 5 days a week of recipes (with a grocery list), then the other 2 are either take-out or something simple like tonight. I do have a slight grocery store addiction and could go there daily if my pocketbook would allow. But I also have a plethora of spices, condiments, etc. that I use in these recipes stocked up at my house. I look like a spice hoarder (although I don't think they make a tv show for that).

So this weekend I plan on posting a recipe for a light Clam Dip that I'll make for my parents. I am not sure what I'm making Sunday night but I'll post that as well.

Take care all, and Happy Friday!
