Moments to spare...Halloween and "dinner interruptus"

***Originally published October 31, 2016***

So I made dinner tonight with moments to spare before the Trick or Treaters started to arrive.  Ok, we basically had "dinner interruptus" but it turned out great.  I portioned off 3 dinners for the freezer and then served the rest.  Guess what? Very little left over and 3 dinners waiting for the 15th!  Can't wait to see how hubby does with dinner that night.

One Pan Chicken Curry

Miss M left onions around her plate because I sliced them instead of chopping them, but I added peas which she loves.  I have never been offended by "things" left behind on the plate.  She leaves less around the plate and appreciates that the "things" make the dinner as a whole taste delicious, I knows it's the texture of the onion slices.

When the kids were growing up, I chopped things up more rustically than the recipe called for.  This was done all in the name of being able to find the offenders in their meals so they could enjoy the parts they liked.

My individual bonus dinners

Ok, I'm still new at this picture thing, but those are the first freezer dinners.  I even made labels to put on the containers so they don't get lost or used too early.

The dishwasher is running, the cats are fed, coffee is set up for the morning, we only had one group of late trick or treaters, life is good.

We are going out with friends tomorrow for dinner, so my next adventure will be Wednesday.
