Cooking Monday.....

Hello all....have been popping in and reading and then run out the door....sorry about that....seems like we/I am always on the go....lol...
Over the weekend I got a brainstorm and today I carried it out....My folks live pretty close to me...and for whatever reason my mom won't/can't/doesn't want to cook....soo they have food in the freezer and they don't cook it...they snack, have quick meals or go out to eat...and nothing wrong with any of that...BUT....occasionally they need a good nutrious meal....So had them thaw chicken breasts, and hamburger....I went over there...and made baked chicken breasts in mushroom soup, chicken and rice soup, and spagetti sauce...Then put a container of each in the fridge and froze the rest....so now they have 7 containers...in the freezer...2 of chicken, 2 of spagetti sauce, and 3 soup....so they should have meals for awhile ....plus there going out etc etc....lol...So did my good deed for today....
Then had to cook our own supper..LOL....


Hugs, Ruth

You've been very industrious today and deserve a pat on the back.

Hi, Ruth! My mom would have said you just added a jewel to your crown! I used to cook for her, too and then she'd call me to say how delicious everything was. She really, really loved the sweet treats I'd take her the most. She loved jelly donuts and pudding and cupcakes and fresh pineapple. Oh! can't forget about chocolate and pretzel rods. One time we gave her chocolate covered potato chips and she thought she was in heaven. You sound like a very good daughter.


Well, have a good day!
