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.

What’s on your meal plan this week?
