Day 14 - Traveling & Cooking

Friday, Oh How I love my Friday's. This Friday is a little more hectic than most. Traveling to Mom's for the weekend. Nervous to travel with Gotti, as he shouldn't be in the car for this type of trip just yet, but going there for a purpose and have to go. Always excited to see my Mom. So today, still had to work, just had a bagel for breakfast, nothing too exciting. I actually have to do some research, I want to make a honey Cinnamon butter. I know I can buy it in the store, but what fun would that be, I would rather try and make it. I will have to work on that. It would make the bagel so much better. One of these days I will make bread again. You know, in my free time! :) So today, was work then travel. It is about a 3-4 hour drive and well today was 4 1/2. Not the best but certainly far from the worst trip I have had. Decided to kick my Mom out of the kitchen when I got there. The original plan was she was going to cook tonight and I planned on making her my baked ziti tomorrow night. Well I kicked her out of the kitchen tonight and made a garlic chicken skillet. And before you go getting all excited, it just came out of a bag. :( Certainly something you can make yourself though! It had grilled chicken, pasta, and vegetables. We even added an extra half can of carrots to it. I put more of the carrots on Mom's plate than mine, as I do not really care for cooked carrots. I like mine raw. But don't tell her that. Hi Mom! :) Came out delicious and the garlic sauce was super yummy! Put in a pan, cook for 15-20 minutes, and its done! Perfectly quick and easy dinner and certainly they are cost effective! If you are cooking for one the regular size bag will last 2-3 meals. Mom shops at the super size store, and this was a 3lb bag! HUGE! So we didn't cook the entire bag, just cooked half the bag and had a big portion for each of us. The rest went back in the freezer.
