My weekend was both emotional and productive.  Which is strange because those two don't usually go hand in hand.

But this weekend it worked in my favor as I had all this nervous energy just waiting to be expressed somehow.

So I cooked.  I made five meals and doubled four of them to freeze.

The picture above is the peas I tried to pick out.  Why do they put so many in mixed vegetables?

I often use Walmarts "Great Value" brand.  I've done my own taste testing and I can't tell the difference between a "Great Value" bean, noodle or vegetable and a more pricey brand.



I had my side kick close by.



She is just waiting for me to drop something.

Cooking takes my mind off a lot of things.    And it helps so much getting all this done in advance.


My helper was tired by the end of the day.


So was I.  


Tired...but happy too.
