This is spring in Cincy sstwinklinglites and it's actually been a really nice spring if you can believe it. Some years it snows in April and some years we don't get a day in the 60s until May.
Fave meal to cook- Mac and cheese with a can of rotel and a can of chicken- because it's not really cooking but mixing canned ingredients. Or getting one of those bagged salads (like spinach cherry almond) and adding grilled chicken- also my way of cooking!
Biggest mess or pita is tacos or hamburgers because of cutting up all the damn fixings, or eggs because I can never get that shit off.

No pictures today.
Favorite meal: This is so hard because I like cooking. I can't choose one. Caprese lasagna rollups. BBQ turkey meatloaf. Chili Mac (shells n cheese + can of cincy chili)
Least favorite meal to clean: any that involve washing pots and pans. I line baking pans and casserole dishes with foil for easy cleanup.
Fav meal: Baked Ziti Least fav to clean: baked ziti, ha really anything. Agreed with @mrscatfarmer hate washing pots and pans. One day I want to get one of those big farm house sinks. By the time you put a couple of dishes in the sink now it is full.
If anyone has any other ideas for keeping mess to a minimum, I would love it. I've learned in making chicken broccoli Alfredo to heat up the broccoli in a large bowl, then add he chicken and sauce to that same bowl- heat a bit more- add noodles to bowl- rinse water pot and only have to clean one large bowl.

Wtf DD...she had been sleeping so well. Then last night happened. Ugh! She was super gassy though so at least I have an explanation as to why she was up and fussy!
Fav meal to cook: pretty much anything in the crockpot, because hello time saver!
Least fav to clean up: pretty much anything... but mostly the meals that I have to use a ton of dishes to prepare...aka anything that requires lots of chopping and prep work and/or meals that use lots of pots and pans.

Not so much a WTF, but I'm so ready for my poor baby to be over this cold. I can't stand hearing her miserable little cough while she's trying to sleep. So sad.
So no pics for today since she's been feeling bad.
Favorite thing to cook... I'm with ladytiffany24... Anything in the crock pot. I use the liners so it makes cleaning up a lot easier.
Least favorite meal to clean up after... ALL. I'm not a fan of cooking and cleaning ( what a terrible house wife lol)... DH does most of the cooking. However, I am going to try to make this taco braid thing tonight. We'll see how that goes.
WTF iron supplement! I took you with a meal like you say to. I just took you with breakfast instead of dinner because I forgot last night. So why did you make me sick on the drive to work? Because I'm sure all those poor unsuspecting people driving up the Turkeyfoot Road exit at 6:25am today really wanted to see me bent over the side of the road. (Totally fine now btw)
Fave thing to cook: Homemade chicken pot pie :-) So yummy! Least favorite thing to clean up: Baked chicken grease. Just ew. Foil is my hero!

sstwinklinglites, can i get the recipe for the chickpea thing- wtf wed- why did i buy bras too small? favorite thing to cook- black beans and rice, with all the fixing, add home aid salsa and gaucolme, veggie spinach lasagne (no boil noodles are like amazing) cookies with the kids
sometimes i hate to clean up, sometimes it soothing to do dishes
this also a pretty nice day for spring in ohio, I know overcast and a little chilly, but you can still go outside with a jacket, it has indeed snowed till april 30th- i actually thought the last two summers have been pretty mild in the heat department..I generally think you get strange weather here all year round one day 92, next day you wear parka and winter boots
See below recipe I keep stashed. I have a few notes for tweaks I've made. Also, I use Spanish Chorizo, Mexican Chorizo will not work with this recipe. Since I can't find Spanish Chorizo around here, I use pepperoni instead.

I like making espresso beef in the crockpot, and I hate cleaning anything that called for the food processor. Terrible. I'm actually making tacos tonight, but I just throw most of the prep stuff in the dishwasher. My WTF is for United Airlines. Why are all your planes having mechanical difficulties today? I just want my husband to get home tonight. Sure, I miss him, but I'd really like him to do bedtime. Last, here's the picture I posted on my BMB but I wanted to share it again. my boys are so cute together.

sstwinklinglites have you tried it with any other meat? I have everything except chorizo at home... Also, have you checked Jungle Jims for Spanish chorizo?
