Yesterday I thought to myself, if I do not start planning and cooking ahead my whole house of cards is going to fall down.   I am not sleeping well and I need occasional little naps. Often I need a little lie down late in the afternoon when I should be thinking of making dinner, not sleeping. I have plenty of time during the early part of the day. John does too. So between the two of us we concocted two meals right after lunch to last for today and tomorrow. I am hoping that we can continue to do some prep work earlier in the day that will make dinner easier.

Here is what we prepared for tonight –

Fresh tomato sauce with olives, capers, and garlic

And Monday’s dinner –

Wild rice and turkey casserole

And here is tonight’s dinner which with our advance prep took about 20 minutes. It is topped with breadcrumbs and garlic chips.
