I've figured out on the days I'm working there aren't enough hours in the day for me to get everything done! I need to take lessons from someone because I feel like as soon as I get home I'm in a huge rush to get about 2 million things done! It's already bed time and I'm just now getting around to posting and I have to clean Chases bed off before he can go lay down because someone (his daddy) let him throw half the stuff out of his toy box today. I just made a batch of apple dumplings and I'm waiting for them to cool enough to cover... I can't wait to share the recipe for those with you because it's my grandma's recipe! You will have to wait on those. Tonight I'm posting the yummy chicken we had for supper last night. I spotted this recipe years ago in a Taste of Home cookbook, but forgot about it until last week when Krista at Krista's Kitchen posted the recipe as her favorite grilled chicken. I knew immediately I needed to get myself in gear and just made it already! I'm so glad I did. This chicken's so tender and juicy. Chase went wild for it. I took it for lunch today and it was even better the second time around. This is a must try grilled chicken!

I did do some freezer cooking back then - spending the weekends making stuff and putting it up in the freezer and then all I had to do was pop it in the oven when I got home. Also when I did cook, I doubled everything to put one up.
Keep things simple on the days that you work. Meatless meals. Semi-homemade cooking. Main dish salads.
Course there were also lots more times of eating out, fast food and convenience products back then. Maybe not the healthiest way over made from scratch homemade, but hey you do what you have to do to get the family fed.
Enlist help from your husband too on those days you work. We women don't want to have to do that but it's crazy. Men can make a skillet of Hamburger Helper and open a can of veggies on occasion. Don't try to kill yourself - you cannot do it ALL nor can you do it all by yourself when you are working!!
This chicken sounds wonderful - I LOVE grilled chicken. Thanks for sharing!
I know it's only Wednesday, but I hope you have a nice, restful weekend!
