Week 12 Menus - Still.Not.Spring.

Hi everyone! Hope yall had a good weekend. We woke up to snow here in Chiberia. It's been snowing since we woke up. Still snowing. Supposed to be 30* all week. Womp.

We had an uneventful weekend. So uneventful that I didn't even cook dinner Friday or Saturday night. We just had leftovers. How lame is that!? We had soccer, went for lunch at Lula Cafe in our new neighborhood, the tile store. Boring. The girls were hilarious. For some reason extra funny.

Here's our menu for this week! 

Sunday: Lentil Soup

Monday: Out - Father-in-law is in town.

Tuesday: Meatloaf (didn't do it a few weeks ago)

Wednesday: Pork Tenderloin

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Shrimp Scampi

What are you guys up to?? xo

Week 11 2015 menu - late, late, late

Hi everyone! Long time no see :)

I've been cooking but it's been kind of uninspired and just surviving. Work has been crazy, the girls have been sick, I was traveling a ton. Surviving.

Here's what we have going on this week:

Sunday: Dinner at a birthday party
Monday: Roasted Chicken and broccoli (anytime I roast chicken, I slather the chicken pieces with dijon mustard and that's it! No oil, butter, nothing. Comes out delicious every time.)
Tuesday: Soy-honey Chicken with roasted broccoli - new recipe and really delicious!!
Wednesday: Leftover Chili - I usually make either Chili or Bolognese over the weekend for us to have as leftovers or the girl's lunch for the week. I'm going to TETE tonight with old co-workers so Will and the girls are on their own :)
Thursday: Meatloaf and mashed cauliflower
Friday: Lentil Soup


What do you guys have going on??

Week of March 9

Made this Tamale Pie recipe last night and really like it! Lots of leftovers. Ryan got seconds. Next time I would either cook it in a smaller pan or use more meat/bean mixture so that the filling/cornbread ratio was a little more even.
Filling:

In pan before I spread cornbread:

Served:

 

Forgot the cilantro... oops. If it had been nicer weather or closer to summer, I def woulda served with grilled okra- that woulda been really good with this.

Other recipes on my To Try list:
Mulligatawny with grilled naan
Campanelle with burrata, lemon, grilled garlic
