Tonight is a busy night. Max (the 9 year old) had drama practice after school and he has his final skate night for school and he wants to "show off his moves" is what he told me. I am certainly not looking forward to a skating ring full of elementary school kids and I am not allowed to skate tonight since it is a school function. Can you believe that? He likes it when I skate when we go other nights, but not on the school night. So, quick dinner and out for the evening. Do you have a favorite meal? I remember as a kid I would always say pizza. Now, I LOVE salads with beans on them. Really just about any bean will do along with any mix of veggies. I could probably eat that for lunch and dinner for the rest of my life since the combinations are endless!
I pressure cook my beans and keep them on hand in the freezer or the fridge. Dried beans are so cheap and easy! I made 4 1/4 cups of hummus yesterday for less than $2! That is a super bargain!!!
Dessert is on the fly too! Gluten free/dairy free KinniToos! Tasty treat rivaling the gluten laden/dairy infested chocolate sandwich cookie!
Quick dinners are the best!! My favorite meal as a kid was definitely chicken fingers and fries. Oh how things change! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that you aren't going to get to skate tonight. But I don't eat salads with beans very often. I should think about that! Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI have never made dried beans! I very much need to get on that ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI love when quick dinners come together like that :)

ReplyDeleteOk girl so i confess, i dont own a pressure cooker and dont cook beans b/c witout a p.c. it takes hours and hours to cook them and i dont have patience for that. I really would love to get a p.c. however, i really cant handle too many beans. LOL tummy issues!
