We have another Polar Vortex on our hands. This means that Peapod is getting overused, and they run out of things between the time I place my order and when they are set to deliver my order. It wreaks havoc all around! First world problems, I know. Cristina and Beth- I don't want to hear a peep out of you :)
Last week's menu went really well! We had plenty for leftover nights and to take to lunch. We've been really good about taking our lunch 4 days a week. 5 days a week seemed like an unrealistic goal, but we've been on target so far! We also went to an Ethiopian restaurant for the first time. It was fine, definitely not anything to write home about, but not unpalatable either. Then on Sunday we went to brunch with friends and CPK with Nano and the kids to celebrate Ali's engagement. All of that led to a ton of leftovers that we put a good dent in yesterday.
Here's this week's menu!
Sunday: Out (CPK)
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Meatballs and Mashed Potatoes
Wednesday: Braised French Onion Chicken - Made this a few times. Huge hit!
Thursday: Irish Beef Stew
Friday: Friends are coming over for game night. And this is what's on the menu:
Smoked Salmon Spread and Cheese and Crackers
Peruvian grilled chicken (we're the crazies grilling during a polar vortex)
Friend Jess is bringing a salad
Szechuan green beans
Dessert is still TBD
Saturday: White Fish Special
What are yall up to?? xo
I really want to try that French Onion Chicken. And let me know how the Irish stew comes out. Have fun at Game Night. Scattergories? Yes, I am totally over this Polar Vortex. Our furnace went out Sunday, and then our poor car wouldn't start Monday. We are moving to Texas- just a matter of time…
ReplyDeleteMenu for the rest of the week:
Thursday: Seared Pork Chops & Cheesy Grits & Asparagus

Saturday: Spinach Ravioli & Italian Chicken
Sunday: Carbonara

ReplyDeleteDefinitely try the French Onion Chicken it's amazing. The Irish Stew is great! I've made it a few times, but this time I made it in the crockpot. Came out even better then on the stove!
