SHEs Organized

sounds good d twins!

Dh is going to meet a client tonight for a supper meeting at the Tex Mex place where we get take out. He said there's never anyone in there and it's a fairly large place so he feels ok eating inside. I'm holding my breath. Things have settled down here in terms of # of new covid cases - per 100K residents it's "only" 52 new cases daily. Had been over 200 for a short while I think.

In other words, I don't have to cook tonight!

yay that you didn't have to cook!!!
I am menu planning today and cooking for the week tomorrow (going for really simple).

I was asked to put our Mac & Cheese recipe in the Kitchen thread. It is super easy to make and a total kid-pleaser. I'm posting a link to the items because these ingredients are always in stock in our home. This dish costs less than $5 to make. There are never any leftovers because they love it so much that they eat past full until it is all gone.

1 lb Elbow macaroni
1 lb of Velveeta Cheese
1/2 c Heavy Whipping Cream

Put the elbow macaroni on to cook in boiling water.
Put chunks of the Velveeta cheese in a glass measuring cup that will hold at least 2 cups and add enough cream to make 2 cups. Melt in the microwave and stir until smooth (about 4 minutes).

Remove macaroni from fire when it is done and pour in a strainer to remove the water. Put hot macaroni in a dish and pour hot melted cheese/cream mixture over the top. Stir and serve.

I don't cook all summer so it's time to get back onto menu planning and cooking.
