Week 5 2014 Menu

Hi everyone,

Firstly I miss yall. I had an amazing time with Louise and Baby Blake this past weekend and it made me realize how isolated I feel most of the time. Being with Lou and B was so special and heart warming, not to mention she's the cutest thing and I can't wait to introduce her to her best friends, Amelia and Annelise!

A menu is not really happening this week because we have a weird schedule, but here's a loose framework of what we have going on.

Sunday: Will picked up philly cheesesteak sandwiches for the Super Bowl
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Will and I are going to Phantom of the Opera so we'll pick up some food beforehand.
Wednesday: We got invited to Disney on Ice with some friends. Lord help us.
Thursday: Chipotle Beef Stew. Lou found out the hard way that this is really spicy. I'll use Beth's trick of squeezing the sauce out of the peppers and discarding the peppers. Last time Will and I just forced it all down, so this will hopefully go down smoother.
Friday: Sausage Ragu with Polenta - this was a huge hit last time! Really recommend it.
Saturday: Game Night got rescheduled last time so really looking forward to it! Lou lent us her Cards Against Humanity for the occasion. Same menu as before: Peruvian chicken with veggies
Sunday: Shrimp tacos

What are yall up to?

  1. We loved having you Michi! One day we'll all be neighbors and instead of writing about the food we're cooking, we'll be dining together (a girl can dream)
    I no longer have any excuse for not cooking. Since B arrived I've been too sleep deprived to do much of anything, but now that she's sleeping more and napping during the day in her swing (thanks to Michi's super-mom tips), I'm back at it. Here's the plan.

    Sunday: Beef Stew (too spicy for me and little B. it was so sad because the meat was so tender and delicious)
    Monday: Leftovers - chedder grits and Chicken Marbella (best chicken EVER) http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/CHICKEN-MARBELLA-SILVER-PALATE-COOKBOOK-1277030
    Tuesday: Zuppa Toscana
    Wed: Braised BBQ Beef (this looked too delicious to pass up!) http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/braised_bbq_beef_sandwich/
    Thursday: Leftovers
    Friday: Tortellini and sauced (the packaged type) and a Kale salad (kale, lemon juice + evoo, and grated riccotta salata)
    Saturday- Delivery

    Easing into it. Feels good to be back.
    Love to all.
    xo, Lou
