I know what you mean when life becomes a bit of a whirlwind. I am glad you are getting through your health crisis too. This dish is a perfect weeknight meal since I am trying to eat healthier food these days. Hope you are well Erin!

i know how you feel. unfortunately i AM a routine person which just makes the endless-cycle feeling worse, because it’s my own doing! the way i get around the cooking every week night after work thing is do big cook ups on the weekend, so i’m set for work lunches and maybe some dinners, but usually my weeknight meals are very simple affairs (and lilke miss piggy, i have easy high rotation things i can cook with my eyes close – i experiment more on the weekends when i have time). you’ll find something that works for you!

Hi Nikki, I usually leave everything as is and store them in the fridge.

I preserved some lemons a couple of months ago and used them for the first time today. Now that I have taken a couple out the liquid no longer covers the lemons that are left. Should I add more boiling water or leave as is? What do you normally do?

As dull as it sounds (and as much as my friends make fun of me) menu planning is my saviour. I do it once a week so I can shop for all the ingredients I need for the following week. I plan meals according to the time I will be home, so now it is getting cooler the slow cooker and soup are getting a look in. I also was just thinking today that I need to stock up a few things in the freezer. It all sounds a bit anal I know but the relief each day knowing what I am cooking for dinner is so very worth it.

Wow, Max is certainly a striking cat, isn’t he? What a beautiful boy. Love the use of pumpkin with beans. It sounds delicous

I know how you feel – I think nearly every office drone in the world feels like we do. I’m not a natural cook so I REALLY need to plan what I’m making each week. To make it even easier I’ve just written myself a list of recipes that are high rotation so I can just refer to it and think “oh, I’ll cook that and that and that this week”. I also bought a GREAT cookbook called “5 ingredients, 10 minutes”. It’s wonderful.
