This morning as I sit and write this post, my mind is wandering to the growing list of things I should be doing and the shrinking list of the things I want to do.  I’m okay with this.  Laundry can wait, the house cleaning can wait a bit longer, and redundant chore of decluttering definitely is going to wait.  Instead, I am concentrating on enjoying this last week of “brain rest” with finishing up my office/craft room makeover, binge-watching TV shows on Netflix, and some much overdue reading. Okay, I may do the laundry but no other work.

Even meals are going to be simpler this week, like this Macaroni and Cheese Vegetable Casserole. It’s full of cheesy-goodness and vegetables.  I’ve adapted the original recipe a bit to suit what I had on hand and our tastes and we loved it.  This is perfect for Meatless Mondays or when you want a main dish that isn’t going to take long to prepare.  I even managed to make this in one pot – less dishes to wash – bonus!
