Her’s what’s on tap:
- Korean Meatballs — from Cooking light, if you like Korean bbq flavors, this one does them nicely in a mealball flavor. Everyone likes these, and we have them with pickled cucumbers — and bountiful baskets gave us a bunch of those last time)
- Burritos — hamburger, refried beans, and some of that pre-done burrito packet mix from the seasoning isle, throw it in a tortilla with some cheese, microwave for like 5 minutes.
- Pesto Chicken Pizza — I just mix a can of Costco chicken with 2 or 3 heaping tablespoons of pre-prepared pesto, and then I do about 4 T of it on the crust and smooth it all out, add the chicken top with cheese and pinenuts and basil, if I have it on hand… sometimes tomatoes too…
- Lady’s Cheesey Mac (I usually make Chuck’s mac and cheese, but I don’t have any cottage cheese)– homemade mac and cheese. If you want the recipe, email me. I’ll make the full recipe of this, but I will freeze 1/2 of it for another day and put it with a big salad. Yum.
So, my begging for help is family friendly meals that are easy to prepare. Drew is only one home one night this week, and I need to make stuff that my kids will enjoy that get on with a minimal fuss. So, do you have standbys that you go to? I think we may be doing some breakfasts for dinner, and things like that. I know there’s lots of ideas, but lately I’m just out of them. And Drew won’t be home til’ around Thanksgiving (much).
Time to start booking the best hotels NOW for Halloween 🎃
❤️Favorite Hotels:❤️
– Best Western Park Place — this is the closest hotel to Disneyland (but it books up FAST)
– The Clarion — the price catches a LOT of eyes!
– Cambria Hotel aGREAT one for larger parties, has breakfast, and I love their price
– The Viv not walkable, but I LOVE this hotel and the price is nice for how nice it is.
– Tropicana Inn so close, adequate — all about how close it is!
Have a great week!

The only “easy” idea I have, is to renew your love of your crock pot. Throw some chicken in there with a can of salsa, easy chicken tacos. Some hamburger and a few kinds of beans with a can of tomato sauce, you’ve got chili.
And we are huge fans of breakfast for dinner these days. Is a waffle ever a bad idea?
Missing you…
