I put into practice some of the ideas and inspirations from the survey a couple of weeks ago. I made a large batch of pasta sauce, and froze a bunch to have handy for future meals. (Pasta noodles were one of the quick supper ingredients to have on hand, and spaghetti made with jarred or frozen sauce was one of the top go-to meals for busy nights.) I made a quasi-breakfast for dinner on Tuesday, with scrambled eggs, some veggies and rice. Thursday, before leaving for the museum in the morning, I put a pot roast into the crockpot; then when I returned in the afternoon, I added the carrots, mushrooms and potatoes. It all worked well, this week, and gave me time to do some other things.

So, how did your week go? Any quick-cooking meals this week that you'd like to share with us? I have another survey idea. Would you be interested in answering a 1 or 2 question survey in about a week?

Have a great weekend!
