New year and an attempt to get back on track with all sorts of things. Today starts with making a menu plan and a grocery list. Maybe later in the week I'll post a couple of recipes. Oh and it's super freezing cold here (-12°F!) so I'm mostly thinking comfort foods, but lightened up a bit.
Menu Planning two weeks in a row - I'm on a roll! This week I'm looking back for some tried & true recipes to get us through some busy evenings. Having a menu plan, getting the ingredients I need, and having a plan really help on those busy nights when I'm hungry and in a hurry.
Monday: Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers (MM) - I've made this recipe so many times now I'm actually starting to tolerate like eating even the pepper, not just the stuffing. The last time I made them I made some revisions to the recipe and made a note of what I used because they were my favorite so far. Hopefully later this week I'll post the recipe. With a busy Monday I'm going to try to get them in the crock pot so they're ready when I get home.
Tuesday: crock pot pork roast
Wednesday: Homemade pizza - a carry over from Sunday when we ended up eating leftovers. This will probably be a bbq chicken pizza so I can use up some cooked chicken from the freezer.
Thursday: Salmon Thursday - not sure of the prep this week. Last week's salmon was amazing. Another recipe I hope to post this week.
Friday: We will be having dinner with my mom and my niece for my birthday!
Saturday: Birthday dinner out! Not sure where yet.
I love food. I love sampling food, cooking food, reading about food, drooling over pictures of food.
I'm amazed by bento bloggers and that's how this all started. I don't make bentos very often and they're not as beautiful as some but they are fun.
More about me - I live in Alaska, married with 2 dogs & a cat, work from home for our marketing/advertising company, and have many things I'm interested in. Did I mention...I love cooking, reading cooking & bento blogs, watching cooking shows, baking, I like photography, quilting and sewing.
