Sometimes, despite my best efforts, I manage to plan ahead, and
tonight LeeLee and I reaped the rewards!
This weekend, we figured out that we’d be ships passing in
the night on Tuesday evening – LeeLee had a meeting, I had a stint at the
animal shelter – and even my planned Crock-Pot meals for the week required just
a bit too much last-minute prep time to work for our staggered
dinnertimes. So last night, after
slurping down our taco soup, I went ahead and baked tonight’s meal – the tater-tot hotdish that always seems to make its way into our menu plans this time of
year!
The prep work for tonight’s hotdish couldn’t have been
easier, and after an hour in the oven and another 20 minutes to cool down enough
so I could put the baking pan in the fridge, dinner was but a microwave’s spin
away tonight – saving us $15-$20 in takeout and providing leftovers for lunch,
to boot!
(No stats today, because I purchased all the supplies for
tonight’s meal several weeks ago and promptly misplaced the receipt. But rest assured the price for tater tots,
cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, “beef” crumbles, and mixed
veggies was perfectly reasonable!)
