[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 262453, member: 47"] Now that I am working from home instead of going to an office, I have to constantly remind myself to get up and make dinner and the stove is like 10 feet from my desk - It was all good the first two weeks in September, and then I found myself working longer hours, like that was even possible, that I did when I had the office and now slack off a lot doing the dinner thing. During the week it was meals in 30 minutes. My staple was the crock pot once a week, and the George Forman Grill. Roasts for the oven were all put together with the veggies and what have you and put in the fridge. Anything that had to be defrosted was taken out in the morning. Usually a call was made an hour or so before I got home to whoever was here to turn on the oven and put the roast in, so when I hit the door starving all I had to do was serve it up. Although it seems good to be cutting and chopping and freezing stuff before hand, I know me and I am just not going to be making that as a priority to do over the weekend which is my heavy duty cleaning time and a bit of relaxing. I have a stock of the frozen meals in the fridge which get pulled out when I am too tired to put in a lot of time cooking, mainly for SO as he gets testy when he doesn't eat. The boys more or less forage for themselves, so really its just SO and I. But if I am going to cook, he is asked to help -measure out the rice, get the ingrediants together, chop the vegtables, onions, peel potatoes. Since I have been doing that, I have noticed he will start dinner all on his own, even down to finding receipes on the comuter for stuff we have. And I make SURE to make a big deal out of his participation LOL Marcie [/QUOTE]
