What about you? What's on your menu this week?
I can't even remember what I planned for this week, but I know it did not involve the oven. Probably scrounging around in my freezer...I'm hoping my cooking mojo comes back someday! The mystery chicken dish sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteHa, I've had so many of those days! I'm also hoping to find my mojo, so let me know where you find yours! - HP
DeleteIt'll probably take a few days to thaw, but I have a large pork loin I wanted to both cut down into chops plus cook half for pulled pork. I'm also planning goulash one night and sloppy joes another, but that's as far as I've thought ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love goulash & sloppy joes! Both sound great. - HP
DeleteBbq chicken, coleslaw, tomato and cheese sandwich, avocado toast, blacked eyed peas cooked from scratch and buttered bread, baked potato and baked carrot, mushrooms, wedge salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. This is breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteI can swing by at time, Cindy! Your wedge salad sounds great, as does the baked potato, chicken, coleslaw... all of it! - HP
DeleteI’m going to get us a grill and grill hamburgers soon. They are so delicious when made using charcoal and we very rarely have them.
ReplyDeleteM does a great job with the grill. I've threatened to BBQ, but he does it so well that he just laughs & carries on. - HP
DeleteI will once again be trying to use things up in the fridge freezer. If we go and visit our youngest (weather is of course changing for the worst as it is March) things will change a bit. Will be posting our menu on Monday for the upcoming week.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Hope you get some freezer items used up! - HP
DeleteUgh. Fish and chips with homemade Coleslaw on Friday because I didn’t feel like cooking. A kid grilled steaks in Saturday which we had with baked potatoes and baked beans. I also splurged and bought a cheesecake from a fairly local bakery since I was dispatched to get a bottle of wine. The texture was spot on, but the flavor was lacking. The consensus was that my home baked are better. Sunday morning I baked poppyseed muffins for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteSunday night was local teriyaki delivery. We were supposed to have a dinner out for Daughter’s last day of break, but it poured down rain. It was meh.
I have no ideas for this week. Daughter flies out tonight so maybe a late lunch of glazed salmon and roasted potatoes. A kid wants beef stroganoff, I had a request for burritos again, and I have a beef tenderloin in the freezer, so I think this weekend we will have a roast beef dinner. I also have an oven ready turkey in the freezer, and I have no idea why…I think DH and a kid picked it up on deep markdown after the holidays. In any case, a kid asked me last night if we could have it soon because it was taking up so much room.
Gah, I am in a rut again!

Oooh, a good teriyaki is fabulous. I tried the recipe posted here, and I really liked it! It was also super easy, if you are looking for something like that. Oh, and I'm in for burritos and the glazed salmon. You say you're in a rut, but all of this sounds fabulous! - HP
DeleteI am extremely curious about what was served at the eclectic meal!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the recipes you share. Thanks!
Ha. A new mom planned the soccer banquet, and declined offers of help or advice from parents who had previously planned it. Normally I have nothing but high fives for people who take on this type of labor, but.. she could have done with some assistance. ;-) Anyway, she brought in a mix of items for the banquet (purchased from parent donations): chips & salsa, burritos, potstickers, spring rolls, & burritos. It was just a strange mix of items. She also asked for no side dish/dessert/drink donations, & only vegetables as a side contribution. I appreciate healthy eating as much as anyone, but these are teen athletes at a celebratory event. I brought two mini Trader Joes cakes, cookies, grapes & sparkling water. Randomly, she wanted everyone at the event to use the drinking fountain, vs providing drinks. - HP
