Playtime, coupon clipping, and quick easy dinners

Enjoying how independently Gavin can play these days.  It's when it's quiet and I don't see or hear him that I sometimes worry (he's usually not doing a single thing I need to worry about thankfully--just playing very intensely somewhere in the house).  Point being, it always nice now to be able to accomplish the little things like paying bills online, loading up the tax software, and clipping coupons with very little neediness on his part.  The medium- sized tasks, like laundry, he actually likes to "help" with.  The big stuff?  Well those organizing and cleaning projects happen when he's asleep or with Grandma.

Last night after posting on Facebook about the evening repast, a friend suggested I start sharing some of my recipes via blog.  Great idea I thought, though I'm no recipe writer.  I messaged her my "recipe" for loaded twice baked potatoes (the actual first time I'd put it in writing) and used words like "dab," "handful," and "baked until sizzling."  So, I'm no recipe writer I guess.  So tonight's dinner's not really mine--it's a Campbell's Kitchen recipe I first enjoyed at Chris' mom's house.  We'll be having Cornbread Chicken Pot Pie with peas for a side.  (And whatever the recipe calls for in cheese--yeah, I'm not measuring it.)
