Wednesday night, while Josh was at his evening class, I had Rachael and Selah Johnson over for a few hours, so their mom could have some free time before their trip out west next week. The Johnsons attend our church, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know their family. The girls and I had an excting night of Mac & Cheese, Uno, cookie baking, singing, and practicing their ballet to old Disney songs.

I’m finding that deciding what to make for dinner is a lot harder than it used to be. Dinner for me used to be a cheese stick and some crackers, maybe a piece of fruit, or maybe the easiest option – just skip the meal (except when I was eating at the Jensens’ house – one of my weekly meals last year). Now that I’m married, I’m finding that skipping meals is not the way to go.

Tuesday I was trying to figure out what to serve my man for dinner…what can one make with ground beef and potatoes (no – we didn’t have cream of mushroom soup, so beef/potato casserole options were out). Fortunately for me, Deb was online and gave me a great suggestion. After a bit of research, I threw together some ingredients and made dinner. (Don’t ask me for the recipe, because I don’t remember exactly what I did, but Josh gave the meal “two thumbs up.”)
