Thursday through tonight has been a celebration of my birthday. It was supposed to end last night with Stuffed Shells and family time with Mum, Dad, and my 2 sisters, but things got crazy: I had work, dad worked, and my sisters weren’t really home.

Last night, I stayed up late trying to figure out what I could make for this week and with a little help, came across the idea for a chicken themed week. No takeout on Tuesday after I get paid, no going out. None of that, I couldn’t create last week, so I’m going to create this week.

Today Josh and I hit the grocery. I didn’t hesitate to pick up what I needed: tomatoes, peppers, onions, chicken (both boneless and bone in), hot sauce, chilies, pasta, whipping cream, a hunk of parmesan cheese, etc. It was painful to see how much it came to ($67), but for near a week’s worth of things that I need, it was definitely worth it.
