I’ve been BUSY this week!! I have so much to post about, recipes, wine, the party for IamGlutenFree that I helped out with on Saturday. There is so much going on. But the point of this particular entry is how I’ve been spending my mornings.
We have two pugs who now have gotten the idea that daylight=walks. That means I’m awake no later than 7:30. I work 11am to 7pm. How do I fill the time? I cook! I’ve started making our meals up in the morning, either by cooking them outright or like this morning - cooking and prepping another. Today I had 4lbs of chicken that I was going to use up. I was using part of it for Sweet and Sour Chicken, the rest was destined to be marinated later on for Lemon Mustard Chicken. I usually just throw the chicken in a ziplock bag to marinate later, but today I fugured, “You are already going to the effort of bagging it, do something with it!”. So I went ahead and got the marinade whipped up, and the veggies for the side dish prepped and stored. Then I shredded all the cauliflower so it’s all ready for the sweet and sour, as well as the Thai Beef and possibly the Spicy Basil Chicken later in the week. While that was cooking in the microwave, I got the chicken all ready and cooking. Now I’m just waiting for the chicken to cool so it can be packed away for lunch and dinner.
Not a bad use of my morning if you ask me. It got me up out of bed, something that is a feat even with coffee.
