I am back

Starting this week because honestly, I don't remember what we had last week. I know there was a roasted chicken in there somewhere because we had 2 other meals out of it.

10. Chicken pot pie from scratch.
11. Chicken enchillada bake
12. Cuban black beans and corn fritters

I didn't meal plan this month yet but really need to sit down and do that. Maybe tonight as DH has toddler bed time duty.

The goal is to try at least one new recipe per week so I can broaden my options. This week it is the cuban black beans and corn fritters. Really looking forward to those. It smells amazing in the house right now.

I also have a red beans and rice on the list for next week, need to pick up the sausage first.

[lucifugous]

1- homemade pizza, 1 pepperoni and 1 onion, red pepper, black olive. made a white bean soup
2- homemade biscuits and gravy with pot roast leftovers. made "healthy no-bake cookies"
3- chicken & pasta casserole (I had enough for two last week), yummy salad. whole wheat banana bread with flax & ground oatmeal.
4- FFY. linguine marinara for a late lunch...
5- I made my first whole chicken! in the crock, rubbed it with salt, pep & paprika, and set it up in the slow cooker with lemon, garlic and rosemary... kind of like here, but with paprika. - I saved the white bean soup! - Made medium grain brown rice & added frozen peas toward the end.
6- late snack- homemade pizza with roasted eggplant & goat cheese.. a little bit of leftover dough got made into a solitary cinnamon roll sort of thing, for which I even made icing.
7- I made the brown rice with peas again and used some strategic positioning to hide it in the fridge, since it got scarfed down so quickly last time :P leftover chicken, some zucchini... chips and salsa after the baby went to bed...
8- had a yummy salad for lunch, enchiladas with leftover chicken for dinner!
9- Mojadra- lentils and rice (a little salt) topped with seasoned carmelized onions (a little salt, cumin, coriander, pinch of cayenne) and yogurt mixed with dill.
10- pasta with shrimp, leeks, broccoli, and a little red pepper & olive oil. making a cake tonight so it will be ready to frost in the morning... finally baked some super sour sourdough I had in the works for a couple days.... also made banana bread.... as well as cheesecake-swirled brownies ....!
11- lunch out with my dad for my brother's birthday... leftovers, cake, etc.
12- leftovers all day long!!13- made the Three Sisters Stew, it stewed for too long thanks to a nap-resistant toddler but still turned out very yummy! I was skeptical that the delicata squash would be pleasant with the skin still on but I am so glad I went that route for the ease. ....this stew is delicious, cinnamon and salty go surprisingly well!

ever closer:
lentils w/ spinach, roasted carrots
crock pot chicken
w/ lemon & garlic quinoa salad (FtWF)
pot roast with parsnips
leftovers with different veggies
need 1 more ingredient for the parsnip soup with garam marsala- the spice mixture smells soo yummy I am looking forward to it! The only way I can get the amount of chives this recipe calls for without spending $10 is to go to a store that requires a car.
