My Summer Food Crisis ...
Yes, oh yes, these are pics of my fridge and my freezer. Lately I've been having a major dilemma called 'What to Cook?' Could it possibly be the chaos in there? I mean look at all the crap in there.
You'll notice the mayo is sitting on top of a plastic container and the ketchup on top of something in the door, then there's the chicken-still in the bag I brought it home in. I know what that is on top of the cool whip too: a sub sandwich the Mexican wrapped in aluminum foil for lunch tomorrow at work. And in case you're wondering what that brown stuff is in the gallon jug on the top of the door-yep, tea ... I'm just too lazy to brew it-it is much easier to buy.
Ice cream is a must have item in this house. I promise there is not a day that goes by that we don't eat some sort of ice cream. Bottled water is another must have item along with tortillas and tomatoes. I usually do pretty good with meal prep but lately, these past two weeks or so, I'd rather hit Quiznos, Chinese, or Wendy's up for dinner instead of cooking.
I think I've worn out my grill. The standard grilled meat, grilled veggie, and jello just isn't satisfying my taste buds anymore. What's worse is that I have about 20 pounds of pork chops and nearly ten pounds of shrimp in the freezer ... with no idea what to do with it.
Today I opted to follow the directions on the side of a can of Campbells Cream of Chicken Soup!
Trust me, chicken and rice casserole is a winter comfort food. Oddly Caleb and I really enjoyed it earlier in the day and the Mexican downed the remainder of it tonight with a turkey sub. Jordan had baked chicken nuggets and french fries. Then at ten o'clock I popped some Grands biscuits in the oven and microwaved some sausage patties.
Is it just me or is anyone else suffering?
I don't know but my plan for tomorrow is to clean up my fridge, organize it, make some strawberry jello desserts, a banana pudding, and pray that I can get back on track with summer cooking. Maybe I'll break this depressing food confusion swing I'm going through and be inspired enough to make something I want-if I can only figure out what it is that I want :)

I hate cooking in the summer. I'm sick to death of pork chops,too! Check out www.recipezaar.com for some great recipe ideas. In the search engine, I type in "Easy" & have found some great stuff. Also, been using the crock pot a lot lately. Don't want to stand over the stove all day!
Hello friends I am a foreigner visiting pages in another language, try to understand their language but it cost too much and that is why we invite you to my blog which is certainly very interesting and also a translation for your language I do this through a software sure your web is also very good, thank you very much now.

OBG ... I have a feeling that since my friend finally found a new home, we'll be looking for some real 'easy' food. Probably McDonald's easy for awhile LOL.
I'm crossing my fingers for your trip too :)
Javier ... I don't quite understand the foreigner visiting pages in another language thing, but your comment is like borderline advertising. If your site wasn't pretty neat-I probably wouldn't deleted your comment. I would like to know who on earth buys a one million dollar cell phone though :)
LOL
