Weekly Menu

We didn't have any groundbreaking meals this week but what I hope you take from this post is twofold: you may be inspired by one or two meals and that you know you're not alone when you're ordering food ;)

Sunday - Wings and Shishito Peppers.  We like to have a simple supper on the nights we are are coming home from skiing.  The frozen PC wings work just fine. 

Monday - Tacos.  We were still shovelling snow before supper on Monday night and finally gave up around 6:00.  The kids were actually able to get this meal started and got everything out.  E started the meat and Q warmed up the taco shells.  Dave made the salsa and the only thing I really had to do was wash the lettuce.  The kids should be ready to do this alone in no time!

Tuesday - Salad Bowl.  Another week, another Earthy Andy salad bowl.  This one was a vegan Niçoise  salad.  The "tuna" was mashed roasted chick peas.  This was a hit with the kids too. 

Wednesday - Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese.  Usually I make our macaroni and cheese from scratch using this recipe where its mostly done in the microwave.  But this time I made the roux on the stovetop (starting withs some sautéed onion) and added pureed roasted butternut squash.  It was so delicious! 

Thursday - Order something.  We have been partial to dumplings and noodles lately so we may get that again. 

Friday - Pizza Night.  Dave's new pizza dough recipe actually starts on Wednesday now so it's well underway.

Saturday - Turkey Dinner.  We have turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce leftover from Christmas (all in the freezer of course) so this is perfect for a winter weekend.  Turkey dinner is one of my favourite meals.
