When I started this blogging endeavor, I made a promise to myself. That I would write something, anything, every single day.
Today, I am sick. Strep throat. How much fun is that? And, honestly, I have no desire to be anyplace except my bed, with a cup of warm tea, some chicken noodle soup, and antibiotics close at hand.
With three children though, staying in bed all day is not usually something I get to do, even when I am sick. They need to eat. They have to get to their activities. Luckily, their daddy has stepped in for most of it but the meals... they're still up to me. And I know the perfect dinner on a night when I don't want to move.
Spaghetti with sauce.
It's about as easy as you can get.
Cook the spaghetti. Drain the water. Add a can of spaghetti sauce, heat for 5 minutes to get the sauce hot and viola! Dinner is served and I can go back to bed.
But instead of going straight to bed, I came on here to quickly post this and say that even under the influence of strep throat (and as the minutes pass it feels like my throat is closing up more, which is a sign I need more tea), I can still type up a quick blog and even make it related to cooking and/or food.
Good night all! I'm going back to my bed.

Good for you Barbie! I hope you feel better, but in the mean time, thank you for bringing a smile to my insomia-induced state of mind at the vision of you (and the wonderful meals you write about) cooking up spaghetti and sauce the not-so-old-fashioned way.
Your blog has inspired me to seek out some easy-peasy recipes. Found a great cookbook today while waiting at the dentists office; now I just need to order it so I can start cooking all the goodness.
Feel better!
Thanks! That was my goal with this blog. Bring some humor and my own recipes and, hopefully, some inspiration. With 3 kids, I am all about super simple yet and fast, wholesome and filling foods. LOL
I think my medicine is kicking in too... I am feeling a LOT better than I was yesterday.
