Here I am writing this plog at the Salt Lake City airport, headed to Washington DC for my first official work trip in my new job. Yes, I do have a day job! Luckily, I work remote (from home) which affords me the luxury of doing a little "here and there" when needed for a dinner plan.
I think of it as the equivalent of my "water cooler" time. When other people are grabbing that doughnut in the breakroom, I am pulling chicken out of the freezer to thaw. And when you might be discussing the insane elimination of Pia the other week on American Idol, I am....what else? Checking Facebook! I also have my "co-workers," Shiggy and Ping, who protect me from the evil backyard squirrels, and my friends on Gmail Chat. Chat really helps me feel connected to the outside world on days when I'm still in my pajamas at 1pm. Or 3pm. Not that it happens that often...(cough cough)...
So, this week I am on the road and won't be at home cooking! Feeling compelled to make life a little easier for Isaiah -The-Single-Dad, I made and cooked a lasagna on Saturday so they could just pull it out of the fridge and have it on whatever night they need it. I also put together a freezer meal that should be easy on them once they get tired of lasagna: chicken breast to grill, Bird's Eye Steamfresh frozen microwavable single-serving packs of peas or corn (their choice), and fingerling potatoes that you pop in the oven for 25 minutes. Healthy, fast, and easy!
