It’s time to clear the air about something, I am not a perfect mom. Mater of fact I’m not a perfect wife, friend, daughter, sister….
Why do I bring this up, you ask? Well because life happens and my best plans go array. Yes, I make a weekly Gluten Free menu plan but some days I just totally forget to look at it. One day last week I was supposed to make Chicken with White Sauce in the slow cooker. This is a super easy meal to prepare but I totally forgot to put it together before work. By the time I got home with the kiddos it was 4pm and nothing was ready to eat. Curly, mentioned see wanted the “sweet chicken” for dinner. This means Honey Slow Cooker Chicken, a difficult task to complete when there was nothing in the slow cooker.
While the kids were playing I decided to wing it. The finished product was restaurant quality and it only took me 20 minutes to make. The kids loved it and the leftovers were great the next day for lunch.

This last minute meal will be a regular part of our menus from now on! So my failure to prepare actually turned out ok, this time!
