It does sound like extra work but it actually eliminates so much stress and saves time. Even though I totally understand this, I still can't seem to pull it off every week and when I don't I kick myself. And with your schedule, if I didn't have it all planned out, I'd probably be living on oatmeal. Planning ahead is kind of everything.

So this afternoon I was looking through some magazines trying to get inspired about what kind of deliciousness to cook for dinner. I read today's post about the mushroom risotto and knew that's what I'd be cooking. I love risotto and this one was delicious! Nice and creamy and really fresh tasting with the lemon zest and lemon juice. I'm adding it to the rotation. Thanks!! Hey Joy!

I, for one, hate cooking during the week. For me, I've spent 10 hours at the office, plus a half-hour driving each way; I've been up since about 4:30am, and I'm coming home to a house that my son probably destroyed while I was gone (while my mother does her best to keep it neat, when my husband is home, it looks like a complete disaster area). I get home at about 5pm every day, and I have about 4 hours of awake time before I need to pass out. That means I need to make dinner, clean up dinner, bathe the boy (the little one, not the big one), get the house back to some semblance of order, and hopefully get one additional housekeeping task completed ... no wonder we spent so much time eating chicken and pasta. Thankfully, you've taught me the benefit of a) planning out meals in advance and b) having good, healthy, ready-to-cook meals in the fridge and freezer for just such an occasion. I thank you for that; in the past year, we've eaten much more variety because once everything is set to go, its really not that hard to do! On a side note, this risotto looks delicious, and I'm definitely going to have to add it to our list of things to make!!
