You know those days that you just can't figure out what to cook and your family is no help, with their seemingly helpful response of "I don't care, honey, whatever you cook is great with me."???
This was actually NOT one of those days. I knew what to cook. I even gave myself a leg up and prepared everything last night and let it marinate overnight, so all I had to do was put it in the crockpot this morning and head out the door. I should have put it in this morning myself. Instead, I left it for my husband to put it on later in the morning so it wouldn't get too dried out. I texted him at 10am and he HAD BEEN CALLED INTO WORK!!!!!!!!! :(
Now, I know this is not his fault. But it FEELS like it is. And I'm mad at myself because it's really MINE. On top of that, he got home first and put it in the crockpot on high thinking it would help. It didn't. So now it's partially cooked and definitely not close to being done anytime soon and I'm starving. I am now ordering take out.
All of this to say... sometimes your meal doesn't go as planned. Sometimes it doesn't taste the way you dreamed it would. Keep on cooking and don't let that slow you down. Dust your pride, and sometimes food, off and learn from the mistakes!
I will share with you what I was going to make, and you can let me know how it actually turns out. ;)

1 can rotel tomatoes, undrained
