Day 256 (Empty Again) - Chef Salad Sunday

Sunday dinners at our house have certainly changed!  When all the kids were home, Sunday was our "big" nice dinner day.  I would throw a chicken or roast in the crockpot or oven to cook while we were at church and then finish the trimmings of mashed potatoes with gravy, croutons, and a green salad when we got home.  That's how it was for me when I was growing up so I continued it on in my home.  Besides, I love mashed potatoes and gravy!

But being empty nesters has kind-of changed things for us.  I find I like simpler and smaller meals now, although every now and then I am hungry for that good old "Sunday Dinner".

Today we went really easy...Chef salad.  Scott cooked up some chicken while I washed up a few veggies we had in the fridge and woolah!!  Dinner is served!  Scott was especially happy because he's been asking for chef salad at least three times a week!!  (Personally, I like a little more variety than that!!)  My salad really tasted yummy...especially since I had mushrooms, avocados, and green peppers to put on it!  Scott would say otherwise! ;)  
All the fixins'
