Happy Anniversary Red Spruce!

 

[RedSpruce]

Thank-you rujerro! I’m awake an hour early. Who knows why. I suspect Hubby had another sneezing fit in the middle of the night, because he was up earlier than I was. I’m not sure what we’ll do today, given we both had a bad night’s sleep, but supper is settled…I think. Our company wants to buy it for us.

Last weeks plan...
Monday- Chili with ground turkey, using some salsa from the freezer, maybe even some cornbread...
Tuesday- cabbage rolls using up leftover spaghetti sauce (and this will be my lunch for days after, since the others will whine about eating it fresh, let alone as leftovers...)
Wednesday- tamale casserole using leftover pork from the freezer, leftover chili, and leftover corn tortillas
Thursday- Out for DD's 18th birthday-- she wants Carrabba's
Friday- pulled pork from the freezer, just add buns/bread and bbq sauce I honestly don't remember what we did!
Saturday- Egg roll boll with more of the cabbage pastitsio
Sunday- pastitsio Baked chicken, rice

We did much better this week with staying on plan. I used up all the pork from the freezer making the tamale casserole, so we didn't end up doing pulled pork on Friday... but it was a loonnnnnggg week again, and I honestly can't remember what we did instead... DD14 was at a game and got fed there, the other 2 are adults now and can feed themselves... In a surprise move, DD14 actually ate all the leftover cabbage rolls, so there weren't any leftovers to deal with. There was a LOT of leftover tamale casserole that ended up in the freezer, and even though I sent about half the leftover pastitsio to my niece, there are still a few servings of that in the fridge... H will be on-campus for school a lot this week, and doesn't like to pack lunch, so who knows how long those will languish or whether I will freeze them so they can rot in the freezer instead

Last night I cooked a chicken originally scheduled for tonight, and that gives me broth for tonight's soup and leftover chicken for Wednesday's casserole.

Tonight- Chinese Hot pot (sort of a cook-your-own soup... hink fondu-style, but soup, not cheese) with scallion (leek) pancakes
Tuesday- Breakfast-for-dinner (bacon, eggs, french toast)
Wednesday- buffalo chicken casserole
Thurs- TBD... maybe leftovers, maybe not
Fri- Pork schnitzel w/ egg noodles
Sat- Steak
Sun- Chicken stir fry

It is another very chaotic week here-- H has lots of on-campus lectures and labs, DD14's band hit us with an unplanned away performance Wednesday night leading to an unplanned rehearsal today, and I have the already-whined-about complications for my own school... If we can make it to Thursday, I think we'll be ok...🙃

I'll be eating any leftovers and make simple meals. My thoughts for the next several days:

• deli sandwiches
• breakfast for dinner (eggs, toast, coffee)
• baked chicken in sauce with rice

I made a sf apple pie using a can of filling and several apples.

We had frigid temps yesterday and higher temps coming up so only a jacket will be needed..Crazy weather... This week, will be a variety since DH wants to smoke some brisket for my recipe and for dinner....He loves smoked meats.....Here we go:

• Chicken & mushroom ragu over linguine (New Recipe in the crockpot as we speak)
• Smoked Brisket potato leek kugel (another new recipe)
• Smoked brisket with mashed potatoes/gravy, spinach
• Breakfast burritos ( mashed potatoes/scrambled eggs/ham/bacon/roasted chile peppers/onions)

I'll try to make cookies this week as well for DH.....He's been asking....

Cold this week with a chance of snow by the end of it.

-- teriyaki chicken and broccoli rice bowl
-- spinach and beet salad, soup? deviled eggs?
-- salmon, green beans
-- pasta with sausage, veg?
-- turkey, baked potatoes, broccoli, etc.
-- leftover turkey on sourdough, garden tomato
-- black bean soup, baked sweet potatoes

I want to make apple crisp this week, but DH also wants a cherry pie for Thanksgiving, and I will be making a cranberry fruit salad, so probably the apple is going to wait
