Meal Post 03/06/23 - 03/10-23

Last week was a busy week and this week is looking like it will be a busy week and I suspect I will be saying this until the kids grow up and move out.

I don’t mean to jinx it but this week’s weather forecast isn’t calling for significant amounts of snow. It is predicted to be cold and chilly though, so comfort food is where my head is at.

Monday: I’m going to roast a chicken and use some to make burrito bowls and save the rest for Tuesday’s soup

Tuesday: Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup served with grilled cheese sandwiches

Wednesday: Lentil Mushroom Stew over Mashed Potatoes

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Weeknight 30-minute Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs

For snacks and packed lunches I’m making a loaf of bread and these brownies that my friend just introduced me to and may be the most perfect brownie.

The snow returned this weekend. Last week I spent a not insignificant amount of time mining for joy by staring at the tiny buds in my garden, willing the tulips and daffodils and snowdrops to grow with the power of my desperation, and this week they are all covered with snow. It’s time to get cozy is what I’m saying.

Monday: Dip dinner! Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Chicken Dip. I’m going to halve the recipe and serve it with fresh veggies and tortilla chips.

Tuesday: Grossy Pelosi’s Vodka Sawce rigatoni served with a side of steamed broccoli.

Wednesday: Spicy Peanut Butter Ramen with frozen peas topped with grilled steak, lots of cilantro, and soft-boiled eggs (made super fast in my Dash!)

Thursday: Sweet Potato Turkey Meatloaf served with green salad.

Friday: Salmon Leek Quiche served with green salad.

Snacks and lunch boxes: Pumpkin bread (no chocolate chips), mini loaf pan focaccia, soft batch chocolate m&m cookies.

I’m also really hoping to have my shit together enough to make a Nanaimo Bar Cake for my dad’s birthday.

We got hit by a virus last week (not the virus just a virus but it knocked us out all the same). We’re easing back into this week gently is what I’m saying - and today’s stat holiday certainly helps.

Monday: Crispy Baked Chicken Wings served with Potato Leek Soup and a fresh veggie plate.

Tuesday: Fake Shack Burgers served with a fresh veggie plate.

Wednesday: Spaghetti served with green salad.

Thursday: Poppy’s school is doing a pizza night fundraiser so we’re ordering pizza and breadsticks.

Friday: Leftovers!

It’s still February. I don’t know what to say. It’s dark and grey and gloomy but it’s also the very early stages of spring so our seasonal allergies are starting. We’re Winter Gloomy AND Spring Sneezy is what I’m saying. It’s not a great combo.

Monday: Bangers and Mash served with green peas

Tuesday: Heart-shaped personal pizzas made with crispy, chewy, bubbly crust served with a veggie plate and chocolate-covered strawberries for dessert

Wednesday: White Chicken Chili

Thursday: Southwestern Corn Chowder served with tortilla chips and homemade guacamole

Friday: Spanish Tortilla topped with garlic aioli and served with arugula salad

For snacks and lunchboxes, I’m making Banana Bread, Mom’s Mac & Cheese, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (but I’m replacing the chocolate chips with mini m&ms)
