It has been a really busy summer. Somehow it just got away from us and before we knew it, it was back to school time and the summer was over. I have also been nursing one and then the other knee with injuries, and will actually have surgery soon. I haven't been able to stand for long period of times and walking around a lot is also difficult. Long story short, I haven't been cooking, really cooking, much. Oh we've had dinner at home a lot. But nothing that sticks out. No new recipes. No complicated dishes and no hanging out in the kitchen to cook elaborate meals.
I didn't realize how much I would miss it.
I really do enjoy trying new things in the kitchen or even making some of our tried and true favorites. I am cooking tonight, though dinner will be late. Jeffrey had a long day after a long week and is asleep on the couch. John is watching YouTube videos and I am blogging while the meat is cooking. We're having lemon garlic chicken thighs (with thyme, olive oil and salt and pepper). Next I'll get started on the mashed potatoes and cook some carrots. Nothing super fancy, just a good old-fashioned home cooked dinner. I am still hurting, and I'll get John to help me if I need it, but I just wanted to cook since we are all actually home tonight.
Can't wait until it's time to eat!
