Dinners & the week ahead

Happy 42nd birthday to our younger son on this Monday. We will celebrate at the Easter gathering Sunday but we will take him out for a birthday lunch on the day of his choosing this week.

We are babysitting the toddle Tuesday afternoon. I may go to a talk at the city rec center on Wednesday.

Hoping to get the replacement cellular shade up this week and some more paperwork done!

What we ate for dinner -

Monday - Dinner out with cousins @ Five Tacos and Beer. I had a shrimp taco that was delicious plus plenty of chips and guacamole and a good beer. Then we went back to our house and had gelato bars that I had picked up at the little neighborhood market.

Tuesday - Turkey burgers, boiled small red potatoes, large salads

Wednesday - Trader Joe's potstickers, large salads

Thursday - Leftover turkey burgers & potatoes, green beans

Friday - Vegetarian sweet potato chili (https://cookieandkate.com/sweet-potato-chili-recipe/) with leftover beef broth and half a beer subbed for veggie broth. It was good but will not go in rotation. Lots of leftovers frozen.

Saturday - Leftover rice and green beans, potstickers and half a pear for me. Hubby out with a friend.

Sunday - Easter dinner at DIL's mother's house. We took hearty nibbles for earlier in the afternoon.

  3. You have inspired me to try to meal plan a little. I have always had good intentions but forget what meals I had planned to make. This month I copied all of the URLs for the recipes and added them to my Sentence a Day post, so I see them everyday when I write my sentence. And I have actually prepared a few of them!!

    I have fixed pumpkin chili and we liked it pretty well. Liked it really well until PC realized there was pumpkin in it. Ha!! I need to fix it again and see if he can 'tell.'

    1. My pumpkin chili was more like spicy vegetable stew. OK but not voted into the ongoing rotation. Must be a better recipe out there!

  4. I finally remembered to add tofu to my grocery order, so will have a stab at adding it to a stir fry soon.
