I didn't defrost the chicken.

I purposely didn't defrost the chicken.

Sorry.

I didn't want to have to defrost it, season it, get everything messier than it is. 

I'm sorry to my husband, who will never read this. 


I just want to sit here and be calm. 


I almost didn't write, but I needed to get out of my own head, by going into it. 



So, instead of a bbq,

I'll be making:

-Menudo (canned, sounds unappealing 'cus it's in a can, but with all the fixins' and little extra touches   
 it's delicious). 

For the kids, chicken nuggets and fries. Frozen. OMG I'm so bad. 


Why? Sounds like i'm not even trying...but I am. Promise. 



For the kids' lunch I'm making oatmeal with banana and cinnamon. Nutricious but not difficult to whip up. Also some watermelon. 





Cooking can be tedious, but as a famous Youtuber Armando en tu Cocina says: 

La Cocina es con Amor Y no por Obligación. 

Cooking is with love and not by obligation 


That is why we should always have a plan B in our pantry. Some days, I am not going to work harder than I want to. But I'd never leave my loved ones without a meal made with love.


See you!
