Fire!! No,I'm Just Making Dinner!

Yeah well, sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with raw chicken. But I had one thawed out and sitting in the fridge. So anyway, I had no choice. Everything was going smoothly until I remembered that I forgot to fill the bottom of the pan with water and broth, oh, after it has been cooking for almost half an hour. Hot oven. Hot pan.
So I opened the oven,
poured it in...

(Sorry, no picture) Smoke coming out of oven... crackling, spatering noise)

Guess what happens....
Yeah I set off the smoke detectors!
But thats not the good part.
No one got up to see what happened. Really?
Moms just in the kitchen, cooking. :)

How big are your waffles?

Waffles!
The box of well known handy dandy all purpose mix says it makes 12. See the one on top? Yeah , that size. Who does that? See the one on the bottom? Thats how I make mine. yep, makes 3. I can eat all three. Serves no one else but me. Then I'm out of batter.
I am such a pig.

Great Lunch! It's Not Chicken and Yarn!

Serious, have you ever just had one of those days? Yeah well, mine just keeps going and going and going...  Ack!
Sometimes you just have to stop. So I did. And so I made lunch:

Love this!

Cook it up!


Make Garlic bread, add cheese

Add more cheese!




Place meat and eat!

These are plain because I feed very picky eaters but don't let that stop you from adding all the good stuff that you like!
So it came out really tasty, the zombs were happy and surprised (Not Chicken!) and gave me time to Take a breath and start over.
So back to this:

I continuously made mistakes, just not paying attention, over and over and over... Sheesh (no pics of that though!) After lunch it all started to work out! Yay!

Hat N' Cheeze

Heres Dinner!
So again I was " playing with yarn" hehe and forgot about dinner again, so after staring into my empty cupboards, I found two different style pasta bags, of course, half empty.
I boiled them both and used the recipe on the back of the bag for a quick homemade mac and cheese. Both the chicken (ready to heat and eat) and noodles were in the oven cooking together and of course just microwave the veggies! 
Ta Da!

A new hat!

Best dinner you ever made!


Sometimes I really don't feel like making dinner, you know. I could seriously live on fast food. McDonalds would love me! But most days I drag my butt into the kitchen and stare in the cupboards and freezer and fridge for hours... then walk away...
But then the hungry zombies come about marching slowly towards me... " Whats for Food?"
Well thankfully, when I shop, I shop lazy dinner lady like...  this: This was so easy, just take out of package and warm it up!                        
The most effort I actually put in this meal was the potatoes! Yeah and you know those lil' recipe cards they have in the grocery? Thats what I used! (Don't tell my family!) Here it is: Reynolds Wrap homestyle fries
It calls for about 3 large potatoes,quartered, but whatever, I use 1 potatoe per person, and if you use more just increase the spices!
2 TBS olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Put all in a big bowl and mix, spread on cookie sheet and bake!
450 oven for about half an hour!
Finish it off with microwaved veggies! Always! haha :) and Yum!
The Best dinner you ever made!
Thats what the zombies said!
Just hide the prepackaged evidence!
Now, back to whats really important...
