Bean Sleeping In? -- 08/19/2011


Our life is about to change; drastically.  Breakfast at 6:15, healthy and durable bag lunches ready by 7:00, and then they are probably going to still want dinner at night too!  I knew there was something more than just sleeping in that I like about summer.  But this year, I am resolved to bring some order to my daily chaos in the kitchen.  First of all, I am going to plan ahead (gasp) for more than just dinner, and have those ingredients waiting for me so I can do more than just hope something is in the refrigerator when I roll out of bed.  Secondly, in my planning I am going to save time by finding ways to make last night’s dinner into tomorrow’s lunch that will 1) taste good, 2) keep it’s shape in a backpack, and 3) won’t kill anyone after being in a warm locker for a few hours.
