Normally I'm not supermom. I really am a lazy mommy, and the positive spin on that is - I want my children to be independent and they need to learn that at a young age. I'm not the soccer mom that can 'do it all'... in fact I am so far from that supermom that if she saw how I lived she'd gag and run away screaming in the other direction.
but. (proceed with caution... this does not happen very often in this house)
We woke up early, I baked muffins for breakfast, then went to Bible Study, came home and prepared a nutritious lunch, put the kids down for a nap, made won tons from scratch (to freeze for a rainy day), and then prepared a hearty and healthy dinner.
But don't think this is a regular occurrence... just a few days ago we had nothing in this house (I had been sick with the stomach flu so I wasn't eating or grocery shopping)... and this is what we made for dinner: frozen dumplings, 1 frozen portion of M&M's beef wellington, 1 frozen portion of M&M's French onion soup, and Cheerios.
I know I can't keep up with the supermom activity, but it does feel refreshing to be a little organized and energized. But there are definitely the days where I am far from that standard of perfection - and we still survive, and are happy.
On a side note, here are some of the recipes I used today:
Apple Cranberry Muffins
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Won Tons: I made it up myself -
napa cabbage
shrimp
chives
lean ground pork
ginger
salt
egg
won ton wrappers
yay, supermom :) glad you're feeling better
ReplyDeleteI love M&M - great food for any day when I don't feel like cooking
My recipe for Wontons:
ReplyDeleteGo into the factory and hold a bag to the belt.
