my stepmom is coming

[curtains]

To my house tomorrow. She lives many states away and hasnt been here before now. She is a Martha Stewart hostess. Her house is always perfect and her meals are amazing.

She has had me and my dd to her home for years. Since my dad has passed she seemed lonely and I do love her like crazy and want to repay all her hospitality so I invited her here.

Wtf was I thinking?? I am the farthest from Martha Stewart you could imagine. So all day me and my dd cleaned and organized. And I am looking up recipes for tomorrow night. Uhg.

Thoughts, prayers and vegetarian recipes are welcome. Especially the recipes. Lol

I'm sure you're an awesome hostess, too!

I love these grilled veggie sandwiches. I use store-bought pesto for the spread when I'm feeling lazy.

I made this mac & cheese for dinner tonight. It was delicious. www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nancy-fuller/creamy-stove-top-mac-and-cheese.html

She loves you, not your house. Relax. :-) I'd pick up simple, but high quality things to eat. Spring is great for that. Good cheese, wine, bread and fruit can take you a looooong way.

Make it easy on yourself:) take her out some and make things that are easy.

I would do some vegetarian lasagna or enchiladas (or both) and make them ahead and then toss them in the oven when you're ready for dinner and you'll have some left overs for lunches.

It doesn't matter what you make, I'm sure she's so happy to spend time with you. Have a nice time together.
