What's to come...

So, I have been trying to organize EVERYTHING at once in my house & life.. What a mess!!
I moved in with my boyfriend almost 10-11 months ago, just recently in the last 3 weeks I emptied my storage & brought it all to the house. *sigh*
The house I lived in before I think I tried to fill every drawer/closet/cabinet I could & that house was really big! LOL  So now I look like a hoarder with my craft supplies, kitchen appliances & dishes. Unbelievable what we keep and buy, yes, I say WE as woman! hee hee
My craft supplies have to be condensed, I had enough for a huge closet (the closet was really the size of the wall in the bedroom) and now it has to all fit into a 5 shelf rack. Ohh goodness. I have been looking online at all the different ideas on how to organize my supplies. I have to narrow it down by pricing and the room I have. It is so great to have the internet. OG would be to buy magazines or watch tv to see and probably never get something that works well for oneself.
My other organizing I am trying to get together and prep is dinner- I work full time & get off at 5pm, I have to drive in 30 min of traffic to get my kid from daycare, drive 20 minutes back home. If I do not prep our dinner the night before, then we eat at 7pm, which I prefer no later than 6:30pm. My daughter goes to bed by 8:30pm and she needs a shower before hand, don't through in any homework if that needs to be done!

A couple of things I am doing or learning as I move through my life. I love to wake up early- 6am to do a load of laundry, so I don't have to do that when I get home. If I am going to use ground meat for dinner (I don't eat red meat, so it will 98% of the time be ground turkey or ground chicken)- I will cook it the night before, this saves me about 20 min at night. I cut up any vegetables, needed or measure out dry stuff if needed.. I am now looking at making breakfast muffins also. My boyfriend usually eats his sandwiches at breakfast and then buys lunch. I understand that sometimes, but why waste the $$ if you don't have to.

I have to share my stuffed Zucchini recipe:
I made my ground turkey the night before because I was going to make an enchilada pie. So I put a taco/fajita seasoning pack into my meat, I added chopped jalapenos. Needless to say my stuffed zucchini was a mexican style. I love HOT/SPICY things and so does my boyfriend, unfortunately he gets heartburn, so I have to mellow on the hot stuff sometimes. Of course, our girls can handle a little bit of heat, but not much.. Since this was going to be a mexican style stuffed zucchini- I added spanish rice, salsa, garlic, sauteed onions, shredded mexican mix cheese,  & cotija cheese. It was amazing! I can not tell you the measurements, because I just did  a dash of this or that, I go by how it looks. Really the salsa was maybe 1/2 a cup.

That is it for now. Thank you for hanging in through all this!
