Semi-homemade

Have you ever tried to get rid of an email account? Maybe you are downsizing your email accounts, creating a more universal one, or switching to a business email. In any case, I can assure you that there are few things more annoying than mapping your way through updating your email situation.

Yesterday I went from having a separate business email, to condensing into a universal email and I am paying dearly for it.

I had no idea how many things were attached to my business email. From credit card accounts to online shopping accounts, it has been an incredible hassle trying to clean up the technological mess I have created.

For the last 24 hours, I have been wrestling with websites to have my contact email changed to my new address and it’s driving me up the wall. I have missed emails because they were sent to my old account, and have been trying to work through other little hiccups.

If I had known the trouble condensing emails was going to cause you can bet, I never would have bothered. Especially since technology isn’t a place where I am great at exercising patience.

ANYWAYS! Thanks for letting me rant!

Have you ever heard of Semi-Homemade? It’s a cooking show with an adorable blonde who prides herself on being able to prep food and drinks by combining homemade aspects with premade elements, and I love that concept!

A good chunk of the cooking I do follows that idea.

For example, last night I made chicken pot pie. I use Pillsbury Pie Crust, 2 cans of cream of chicken, 2 cans of mixed veggies, and chicken. Super simple! If I have time I cook 2 chicken breasts and shred it, mix in the other ingredients and then fill the pre-made crusts. It’s absolutely delicious! (And if I don’t have time to make chicken I buy a roasted one and cut it up and use that). Seriously, it’s delicious and beats the heck out of one of the pre-made frozen pies, yet is easier than making my own crust. I highly recommend you give it a try!

I am all for semi-homemade meals!
