That is cute about Saturday. It will be exciting to find out what he has planned!
If you get a chance to write the card, that's a good idea to leave it in the car. That way he can kind of digest it over the night and then it puts him back in the reins for how he wants to handle tomorrow. Sometimes it's good to take the lead and since he's planning Saturday, it gives you a chance to offer something back.
As for dinner ideas, hmmm. Two of my favority single working mom meals (super easy but tasty): 1) Chicken Parmesan (sorry, it's italian). Just take chicken breasts, dip in beat egg then in italian breadcrumbs (they come in canisters at the grocery store). Place in dish, put a slice of Mozzarella cheese on top, cover in spaghetti sauce, and bake (I think it's like 425 degrees for 20 mins?, but keep an eye on it). 2) Crock Pot Chicken tacos - Place like 2 frozen chicken breasts in a crockpot, pour a jar of salsa on top, turn on low, bake all day (it's pretty flexible, but approx 8 hours). Just shread the chicken and serve with taco toppings.
But if you're looking for something a little more fancy, a simple chicken cordon blue could be good. Just pound defrosted chicken breasts thin, place ham and mozzarella cheese on chicken and roll. Put a tooth pick into them to keep in place and bake. (Just check a coobbook or online for cooktimes)
And if you don't use these ideas tomorrow, they're always good to keep in mind for everyday meals - simple yet tasty.
Good luck tomorrow!
