Yesterday I was complaining about too much time alone. Today, Kait and John both were home. They both had the stomach flu. I will never complain again!!! Today, I decided to embrace the whole stay at home mom thing and spent all afternoon making dinner. I bought fresh peas still in the pod, shucked them or whatever you do to get the peas out of the pod. Then, I simmered the fresh peas, fresh mushrooms, fresh celery and a chopped up garlic clove in olive oil. I added some red and yellow bell peppers. It was a work of art! It smelled so good! I should have stopped there, but I wanted to turn it into a tuna noodle casserole, so I added cream of celery soup. Big mistake, so I "fixed it" by adding sharp and mild cheddar cheese and two can's of tuna. I added the noodles and put a cracker and butter topping. It looks pretty, is palatable, and I'll never make it again! Dinner from scratch 0 - frozen corn dogs 1.
