The rain hasn’t stopped in days so I’ve got autumn on the brain. This week is packed full of sports / events / obligations so I’m trying to prep as much as I can today to make the week run smoothly. I’m faintly optimistic that I’m going to pull it off.

Monday: Red Curry Wonton soup with Zucchini Noodles for meatless Monday. We had this for dinner tonight so everything is prepped and just needs to be reheated and garnished tomorrow.

Tuesday: My version of chicken pot pie which is basically just chicken pot pie filling without any pastry, topped with mashed sweet potatoes kind of like shepherd’s pie. I made it this morning so it just needs to be thrown in the oven after work on Tuesday. I debated serving it with green salad but instead I just upped the veggie content in the filling and I’m calling it a win.

Wednesday: dinner at Shawn’s mom’s house

Thursday: Spaghetti served with green salad. I made the sauce last night and threw it in the freezer. I’ll defrost the sauce Wednesday night, and then throw together a quick salad and cook the pasta Thursday after work.

Friday: Barbecued bacon mushroom cheeseburgers to celebrate the end of a crazy week.

I also made a batch of these cookies to pack in Grady’s school lunches. I decided to phone it in and just cut up a giant watermelon to send tomorrow for his class potluck “friendship lunch.” I’m making a batch of overnight oats made with kefir, chia seeds, and walnuts for quick breakfasts. And I’m debating making an apple crisp because I have a lot of local apples and apple crisp is my favourite.

What are you making this week?
