I’ve been plunged back into the world of daily cooking in this new schedule. It’s a role I haven’t embraced for 4 years - at least on a regular basis. I’m trying to be organized to make sure I have enough on hand to do what we need to do for the week. So, I’m planning….
This week’s menu:
Monday
Apricot Fish/Baked Potatoes/Steamed Broccoli
Tuesday
Cranberry Chicken in the Crockpot/Rice/Steamed Spinach
Wednesday
Spaghetti Dish from Rachael Ray Cookbook, pg 291/Meatballs/Green Beans
Thursday
Black Bean Chili
Friday
Chicken Enchiladas or Pesto
On hold due to potential NASCAR attendance by Gil and Bump on Friday
We just wing it on the weekends. I’ve also got a black bean and rice dish I’m waiting to try.
Cooking is very exploratory for me, as I never really learned to cook. I picked up things along the way and am only now putting it all together. It’s another adventure!
Also, I do feed my little boys from our dinner, although they usually get some things for just them. Instead of fish tonight, they got ham. Usually they always get bread and fruit. If I can get them to eat anything else, it’s a bonus. Bump cleaned his plate tonight. Clean. Two months ago, he would have never touched the stuff. This is the difference of family meals together.
