It's either Tuesday or Sunday for the cheese dishes. Then there are two
nights when I have to pack something for daughter to take to the dance
studio. She doesn't always get the same thing but it is either something
she can reheat in the microwave or something she can eat cold. Twice a week
we dine out. The other night I cook at home and we have to eat before
dance. So it is either something I can cook quickly or do in the crockpot.
Sometimes what I cook then is taken later in the week to the dance studio.
Her current favorite dish is Chicken Vesuvio. She LOVES chicken. I add
twice the amount of chicken than the recipe calls for.
