Getting into the routine of life

We're finally beginning to have a somewhat regular schedule! Here's a look into a typical week in the Carr household, mainly to do with meals.

Monday: Kod goes to class and I cover board meetings - scrounge around the cabinets for food!
Tuesday: We both get home early! yay! We've decided to make dinner together this day and try something new. Look below for last week's Tuesday meal.
Wednesday: Beginning this week, I'm declaring Wednesday to be Crock-Pot day. Both Kod and I get home later that night (me: 6:45 p.m., Kody 6 p.m.), so it's nice to have dinner already made! However, my plan failed this week and Crock-Pot day was on Thursday. I guess our "regular" schedule isn't so regular. I also haven't really liked any of the Crock-Pot dishes I've made, so I may give up on it soon. We'll see.
Thursday: Kody makes dinner! And he does a great job if I do say so myself. I normally plan the meal and tell him what he's making and then he does, with his own variations. I almost always follow a recipe to the tee because I don't know what I'm doing if I don't! Kody, however, enjoys experimenting and normally it turns out great!
The weekend: Look in the cabinets, complain that there's nothing to eat because neither of us want to actually make anything and then finally decide on tomato soup with Cheez-its (amazing!) or leftovers.
Sunday: Eggs after church, and coffee cake if I am feeling unhealthy. Then pizza for dinner! This week, though, we just had leftovers after church.

Kody's specialities: Omelets and quesadillas
Katie's specialities: Smoothies and eating ice cream

Last Tuesday's creation: Easy Focaccia Bread - recipe found here
We had it with an Easy Chicken and Noodle dish, broccoli, grape juice and dipping oil for the bread. It was pretty delicious! The bread was amazing, especially right out of the oven.
