Let’s start with my favorite January buys which were replacements for 2 small kitchen items both of which were damaged by the dishwasher over time. I bought OXO Good Grips swivel vegetable peeler and coarse grater with orange trim. Both are increasing our “happiness” with doing those tasks and not going in the dishwasher!
My plans for Monday thru Sunday:
On the calendar this week are signing the contract for attic and crawl space air sealing and insulation, helping with 2nd birthday party prep and going to the party, prepping for older son and DIL to stay one night before they go to their pet sitting house (they are coming for the bday party), babysitting birthday girl on Friday. And all the usual including Pilates. Because of party prep I won’t make it to the local history talk at the rec center but still hope to go to one at the library.
This coming week’s dinner main dish plan: We have quite a bit of veggies and fruit to use up so those will appear.
- Chicken & veggies
- Pork chop, pinto beans & salad
- Salmon, broccoli & rice
- Spaghetti with mushrooms, red pepper & chicken sausage plus zucchini & garlic bread
- Minestrone soup (homemade)
- ? on birthday party day
- Shrimp cocktails & large salad with leftovers added including black beans
- Salmon, small red potatoes & cooked spinach
- Trader Joe's frozen roasted vegetable pizza with chicken sausage. tiny tomatoes, garlic and basil added
- Turkey meatloaf, coleslaw & carrots and peas
- Sautéed cooked chicken from the freezer, mushrooms, grape tomatoes & red pepper over pasta with shredded Parmesan (sub for chicken tostados)
- Turkey meatloaf, microwaved sweet potatoes & leftover coleslaw
- Tuna chef salad with blueberry muffins
All that cooking would exhaust me.
ReplyDeleteThere are two of us to cook and most nights we team up. I don’t know what I would eat if it were just me.
