- Make a delicious meal for the whole family, then put the kiddos to bed early and serve Molten Chocolate Cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh sliced strawberries (cut the recipe in half and use 6-7 oz. ramekins) as dessert for just you and the hubby. Watch a movie together or just cuddle on the couch while eating dessert.
- Make the hubby's favorite food (Jared's is potato salad).
- Chocolate "Paint" - I know I may get a little grief for posting this being a conservative baptist, but I enjoy being married (if you get my drift) and store bought is a little expensive.
- Prep-ahead "Breakfast in Bed" - i.e. cinnamon rolls (can be made the day before, refrigerated, then baked the morning of), quiche (can be made completely the day before and then warmed the day of; or you can prep everything the day before, and then combine and bake the day of), program the coffee maker the night before, etc.).
- Make your own chocolate covered fruits (strawberries, etc.), truffles, etc.
As a busy wife, small business owner, and mother of 4 small children, I develop weekly menus to help keep myself on track. I started this blog as a way to share these menus (and some of my favorite recipes) with other busy cooks. Since my first post it has evolved into a discussion of not only food but other aspects of life. Check out my tips, recipes, and, of course, my weekly menus. I hope they are a help as you manage your own home (and life).
