Single Mom Food
Yep, several days as a single parent again. What with getting up, trying to work out, making breakfast, packing lunches, cooking dinner, doing dishes 2x a day, giving my son a bath, taking out the recycling, doing puzzles, reading books, playing with legos, dropoff and pickup at school...I'm beat.
I made a whole pound of whole wheat pasta with roasted vegetables, cheeses, and tomatoes on Saturday, and have been eating it for lunch and/or dinner every day this week. Sometimes with salsa and avocado, sometimes with frozen or fresh veggies mixed in. We got corn from the CSA yesterday, and I couldn't face washing lettuce, so carrot sticks it was.
Yep, when you are a single parent its always your turn. I remember working for an attorney when Hannah was little - he was complaining that he had to feed his kids breakfast because the nanny was late and his wife had an early meeting.
ReplyDeleteI then asked him, when's the last time you bathed your kids, helped with homework, etc. He didn't get it!
i love this idea of making a BOG pot of something to last the week. so sorry you are a single parent. your hubby seems to traveling a lot this year!
ReplyDeleteWell, hubby is back now and I decided to take a day off work too. I don't mind cooking, baking, dishes, lunches if I'm not working it around a full time job!
