A loss in our family put us in our car and on the way to Alabama recently. My kids are so good on trips but Montgomery still feels a long way away. We also ate lots of meals on the road and at the homes of others. The company was wonderful and the meals together were nice. The road food... not so great. Now that we're back I made a back to basics menu and we're spending some time around our table together - just the four of us. Here are some of our meals:
Old fashioned tacos with all the fixins
Roasted chicken with mashed potatoes, bread and butter and peas and carrots
Chicken noodle soup with a cheese and cracker plate
Fried chicken with rice and gravy, corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes. Chocolate chip cookies
Spaghetti with meat sauce and green salad
Pancake breakfast with fruit smoothies
Mmm...it's good to be home. Tracy and I both grew up on no frills food and these simple meals make life feel...well, simple. I hope you'll make one this week and remember how great it is to eat and be at home.
It was a sweet time to visit with y'all, but a sad time to have to do it. We are looking forward to seein' y'all again soon!
