OK, it's back to school season. No more luxuriating around enjoying summer vacation - the kids come back next week. I'm gong to a new school this year and inherited a clbuttroom with 17 years accumulation of JUNK. I've spent all of this week going through it and filling trashcans with 1989's curriculum. Next thing I need to do is rearrange the desks and bookshelves. She has a huge room feeling small and crowded.
So, anyways, I'm coming home absolutely exhausted every night. Next week, when kids are back and I actually have to plan lessons and teach on top of it, I'm gonna be wiped. I need some good ideas for what I can make for dinner really easily when we get home. Toss together some ingredients for a cbutterole, or a crockpot idea that I can leave simmering all day long. I've got about 30 - 45 minutes from the time we get home until I need to have dinner on the table for my daughter. We're both vegetarian, but not opposed to fake meats or even seafood.
I was thinking about a tuna cbutterole for tomorrow. My mom's recipe but jazzed up: cooked rice, canned tuna, canned shrimp, celery, waterchestnuts, cream of something soup from a can (I use asparagus), and a little milk. Salt, pepper, celery salt. Topped with crushed up potato chips. It goes well with a waldorf salad for crunch and cold.
Beyond that, I'm at a loss for cbutteroles that don't feel too heavy - it's still 83 degrees here right now and pretty damned humid too.
I know you all can help me! Whatcha got?
All I know is that I'm tired of take-out chinese food and delivery pizza.
