Always Have a Plan B

 
It's pretty typical for me to think about what to make my husband and me for dinner ALL day long. In fact, most times I start thinking about what to make for dinner as soon as I wake up, and ponder the question all day, until I arrive home from work and my husband greets me with a hug and a kiss and says, "Hey babe, what's for dinner?" This is the moment that I dread most days because even though I had racked my brain all day, I never really know what to make on weeknights given the food that we have in the pantry.  I have had this issue for a long time now, so a smart person would probably think about what to buy the next time at the grocery store that could help out with this daily conundrum. Not me, of course not, that would just be way to smart. I, on the other hand only think about the complicated or time-consuming meals that I want to make, and never end up with anything that I can just throw together after working a long hard day.

Last night was no different. I actually couldn't even think about anything to make...normally I can at least think of something silly to throw together, whether that would be a frozen pizza or leftovers. But my husband greeted me with open arms and a kiss and asked the dreaded question "Hey sweetheart, what's for dinner" to which I replied, "I am not even hungry...I have NO idea...sorry boo." Which ended up being ok for him, he just trecked into the kitchen and heated himself up some pizza rolls.  Several hours later I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to eat. I decided to settle on French Bread Pizza from the freezer...

... which didn't turn out so well.... This was followed by a small hissy fit, since I now had to go back to the drawing board and figure out what the heck to make for dinner.

I found an unopened jar of organic salsa, and some sour cream and chips...so I decided to just have chips and salsa for dinner with a little dollop of sour cream.
