Life has just become a little crazier...we decided to adopt a 5 month old puppy as an early birthday/Christmas gift! I am still feeling overwhelmed and having second thoughts about our decision, but am giving it my all to make it work for me and for my 14 year old lab. So, that being said, meals have been altered a bit and simplified a tad more!
The family favorite this week was definitely the baked potato bar. My oldest son's creation was potato with cheddar cheese and bacon, then a sunny- side up egg on top. It looked beautiful, and once all the other kids had a glimpse they wanted the same! Broccoli of course was on the side!
The second favorite that was not planned but happened because of time and convenience was pumpkin soup. An old recipe from years ago, but one of my favorites as well. These two meals have been requested again for this week. I'm relieved to have it be easy! I also received the October Fitness magazine and found some great breakfast- for -dinner ideas.
Meals for the week ahead look like this...
Monday: Back by popular demand---Baked potato bar with bacon, eggs, cheese, broccoli and whatever else we can think of as toppings!
Tuesday: Pumpkin soup, tossed green salad, whole grain loaf of bread
Wednesday: Loaded sweet-potato breakfast burritos (Fitness magazine)
Thursday: Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and salad
Friday: Roasted brussel sprouts, parsnips, carrots, and red onions as a side and homemade pizzas
Saturday: Rib eye steaks and Gorgonzola salad
Sunday: Grilled salmon and haddock with sauteed zucchini, onions, mushrooms and garlic
We are making Apple Cider Doughnut- Muffins for school morning breakfasts today. Seems to be an easy and for the most part healthier option than store bought muffins. I'll let you know if they're a hit!
Please share what you're cooking in your kitchens...as always if something strikes your interest and you'd like the recipe be in touch with me.
Enjoy the week!
