I realize today is Tuesday but I wanted to get this out there since I’ve actually been planning my meals again!
Yesterday was Chinese New Year and even though we’re not Chinese, we LOVE Asian inspired food of all kinds. Vietnamese and Japanese are actually our favorites these days but we like all kinds. Check out what was on our menu last night as well as what’s coming up for the week:
Monday: Winter Melon Soup (we added noodles for good luck) and homemade Chicken & Cabbage Potstickers
Tuesday: Rotisserie chicken Caesar salad: buy a chicken, shred it and use up all our various greens & veggies in the refrigerator–spinach, lettuce, water spinach, cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes from our garden
Wednesday: Mexican Lasagna (from freezer meal swap group) and garden salad
Thursday: slowcooker beef stew (from freezer meal swap group)
Friday: leftovers
Saturday: out to eat
Sunday: special activity–no cooking for me!
What’s on your plate this week?
Trying to use up everything in my freezer and cabinets to start fresh again – so lots of new ideas and recipes to keep things interesting with the same ingredients (over and over and over).
I hear you on using things up so you start fresh! Where are some of your favorite places to find new recipes?
This week I only had to buy milk, bread and butter thanks to stocking up.
Wow! That is terrific Rona! I bet that feels great.
