Good Evenings

Yesterday I decided to take advantage of the cooler weather we were having and canned 12 pints of ground beef. One of the reasons was each pint will serve three people and the cost is about 2.15 per pint. It also makes for very fast meal prep later. I am really hoping for another cool spell so I can process the 20lbs of skinless boneless chicken breast I got for $1.41lb. Anyway I was a busy bee from 6am until around 8;30pm which is when I hopped in the shower and was in bed at 9pm. I was out like a light.

Today my schedule was a bit different. I left the house at 9am and did not get back home until 2pm. We had a few appointments and I think I would have rather been canning than sitting all day. I needed something quick and easy for dinner since I would be leaving the house at 5;15 with my daughter.

1 pound grilled chicken breast
1 pound pasta your choice
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup peas
2 tablespoons butter
parmesan cheese for the top

Cook chicken, boil pasta about 5 minutes before pasta is suppose to be done add peas and carrots. Drain toss with butter or oil. Put in plates and top with chicken and cheese. This takes less than 30 minutes and with the veggies coming from my garden and they chicken on sale it was about $4 for four people.

I was back home from my evening adventures around 7pm. That gave me time to make lemonade slushies and relax with my bees. I love evenings that end like that.
