how the week went

Last week I posted about my crocking ideas for the week.  We will eat healthier.  But the best laid plans...


Saturday was suppose to be pot roast.  And it was.  She loved the meat.  Hated the potatoes and onions.  I hate cooked carrots so I didn't add those.  Maybe next time it will be just meat and then I will make a salad or something.

Sunday was chicken soup and fresh bread.  She loved the bread.  And hated the soup.  Really.  I thought the soup was great.  But maybe next time I will add onion -- since she already hates it.

Monday was calzones (not in the crock).  More accurately bacon and cheese calzone for her and bacon, mushroom and cheese calzone for me.  How could it go wrong?  Well it did.  I thought they were fabulous.  She hated the crust and thought there was not enough bacon.

Tuesday was BBQ chicken sandwiches.  Again, I was wondering how this could go wrong.  But I managed.  Again, I thought this was great.  Her first bite she loved.  The second bite was just okay.  By the third bite she was questioning how much she needed to eat.  Fail.

Wednesday was golden glow pork chop.  A pork chop with peaches.  She hated it.  And to be honest... so did I.  But the real drama was that we didn't have heat so not only did the food suck but it got cold.

Thursday was supposed to be baked potatoes with toppings.  But it wasn't.  I just couldn't bare the idea of cooking.  Or eating in the house.  So we went out for pizza.  To warm up.  And there was so much left over that we ate pizza on Friday... while we celebrated having heat again.

Friday was supposed to be Mexican chicken.  But as you can see from above, it didn't happen.  I did make it on Saturday.  But then a friend asked to go out for a late lunch at a Chinese buffet.  So by the time dinner rolled around neither of us was hungry.  So it went in the fridge and it is currently warming up for tonight's dinner.

Saturday was supposed to be meat loaf with mashed potatoes and veggies.  I am sure she will hate it.  But it will be made for tomorrow's dinner.

And I still have the baked potatoes as options this week... along with all the left overs from last week.  She will hate it.  But I am happy.  Happy enough to make this plan again next week... oh wait, next week is Thanksgiving so I don't need to make such elaborate plans.
