What's my motivation, people

So I've been TERRIBLE at making real dinners for a while. A long while.
I knew this, but I didn't realize how long it had been until Kyle says to me, "Mom, why do you always make me hot dogs for dinner unless we go to a restaurant?"

He had a point.

So between that wake up call and my new set of pots/pans, I'm hoping to become a real mom again. On the menu for tonight? Orange chicken. With rice. Sure, it's a boxed kit from Costco, but it involves some chopping of chicken and one of my killer saute pans, so shut it.

Pretty pots!

Good luck. I hate cooking, but the kids do sometimes insist.

LOL Sheri!! I am dying at Kyle's question! The Orange Chicken sounds delicious...any kind of chopping definitely makes it a full-fledged homemade dinner in my book! :)

Enjoy your pans and non-hotdog dinners!

I so understand. I need to get better myself.

The real question is, have you been using your new pots and pans in this wonderfully hot weather? I know how much you love using your upstairs oven when its 90+ degrees outside! :)
