Things happen when you cook...

I was making Pad Thai tonight, and was only going to be using parts of a yellow and red pepper, so I picked up some broccoli as well so I'll have some veggies ready for a stir fry. So, as I was cutting things up tonight, I cut up the rest of the peppers and broccoli and put it in a container for later. I don't like to waste time, and I love having veggies cut and ready, because I'm hungry after work, and don't like to have to spend time on that before I eat!

So, as I was cooking and cutting some things for the Pad Thai, and cutting up the extra veggies for stir fry (meal #2), I kept cutting and prepped a crock pot meal for another rainy day when I want some real food but don't want to work hard for it (meal #3). All of that cutting led to a bit of a mess...

But one thing I love about cooking is all of the color... While this onion made me cry like a little baby, it was beautiful! There were lots of colors in my kitchen tonight!

No worries, though - kitchen is clean, and three meals are prepped and ready to go. I would call that a successful evening!
