Sick and Tired

Unfortunately, it's true. The Little Guy and I are nursing colds whilst the Big Guy laughs a big, healthy laugh in our snot-filled faces. And then goes to work, so the joke's on him. But really, why is the kid always sick lately? And why does he share?

So tonight is a quickie dinner. If you have not discovered the delight that is a Target rotisserie chicken, go get one now. They're a steal at $4.99 and they make my sick, lazy heart smile. Sam's has them, too, but Target is more convenient and equally tasty. And I have two leftover biscuits that I made two nights ago. Carb score! So all I have to do tonight is pop a dish of baby carrots in the microwave and finito. Dinner is served.

If you don't use the microwave to cook veggies, you definitely should. I don't even own a steamer. The microwave does the same thing, people. I mainly use it for broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. Throw them in a microwave safe dish, add about an inch of water, cover and cook for about 7 - 8 minutes depending on your wattage and how crispy you want them.

P.S. For those of you who enjoyed the clean tub tip, here's a similar chemical-free shortcut for your counters. Sprinkle some baking soda on them, cut a lemon and squeeze the juice on there. Use the cut lemon to scrub your troubles away.
