  • We don't have each day planned this week, but we cooked a lot over the weekend.

    I made crock pot lentil soup (I forget whose recipe it is, but it's an NBCer's lemony lentil recipe, and it's delicious!)

    DH made Portuguese kale soup

    We made baked macaroni with chopped up fried eggplant in it (my solution to not having to eat eggplant parm - it gets lost in the pasta)

    DH made chicken salad for lunches, so all the other stuff is just for dinners.  Soup and grilled cheese or soup and salads for dinner most of the week, I think.  Oh, and DH cut up potatoes and carrots and onions for roasting, so one night we might have some kind of fish with roasted veggies.

  • Look at you guys prepping ahead...I wish I had the energy to be that productive on the weekends hahaha
    It was mostly DH.  I decided to do lentils in the crockpot, but then he decided to do everything else.  A rainy day yesterday helped.  We're not usually that productive!  He also spent so much time cooking and prepping that we still have window A/C units in because he failed at taking them out this weekend, and my kitchen floor is disgusting because we never got around to washing it.  Oops.
  • Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff is cooking right now.
    Tuesday - DD and I are going to my parents' since DH has to work
    Wednesday - Leftovers/Spaghetti Squash that I got at the pumpkin farm
    Thursday - Weekly dinner with the inlaws
    Friday - Belated anniversary dinner that we had to reschedule from last week
    Saturday - Pizza

    Yeah, not a whole lot of cooking go on here this week.

  • My shortlist is beef stew w/ beer bread, pork potstickers, pizza, salad w/ grilled chicken, strawberries, pecans and blue cheese. DH is working late all this week/all weekend, though, so I may not be that ambitious.
  • We're doing: Enchiladas, BLTs, Pasta, Loaded Baked Potatoes and Salad, and Breakfast for Dinner this week.  Not very inventive but it's been a rough month thus far.

  • Today we had pistachio crusted chicken with fresh bread (one of DH's parishioners makes the most divine sourdough bread and sends DH home with a loaf at least once a month) and cauliflower.  Chicken was boring (new recipe).
    Tomorrow we're having seared tuna pepper steaks over rice with a veg.
    Wednesday I'm on my own, but there will be birthday pie for dessert when DH gets home
    Thursday is grocery day, so all bets are off until we shop.  Since DH's birthday in on Wednesday but he's leading bible study, we'll celebrate on Thursday night. 
    Friday: dunno

  • Tonight: bourbon chicken, steamed rice, and roasted green beans
