My Week in Meals

So here are my thoughts.
I find it hard to always keep up with the meals I hope to make.
So, I figured I could at least share what I do end up making.
Here's what I made last week as far as food...
Or what we ate as meals.
10.28-11.4
Sunday:
Pretty lazy day!
Joe baked chicken wings in the oven w/ homemade BBQ sauce
I just made us (organic) chicken in a can sandwiches for dinner.
[sorry no photos of that pathetic meal day!]
Monday:
 Potato Cheese Soup
Chicken Bruschetta
served with Garlic Knots
Tuesday:
Baked Oatmeal
 
I drizzled some maple syrup on it. 
This is great to make and re-heat too!
Homemade Applesauce
 {Peel, core, cover with water, a little sugar, boil, & smash.}
Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast
Great for leftover sandwiches!!
Gourmet Mushroom Risotto
The risotto was good, I still prefer Giada's lemon though.
I made a salad & served canned cranberry sauce with it.
Mini-Thanksgiving.
Wednesday:
Halloween
Only 'new thing' I made today was gravy.
Take the drippings/juices from turkey and place in fridge overnight.
Skim off fats/run through a strainer.
Bring the juice to a boil, add a few tablespoons of water & flour.
Stir.
Serve with leftover turkey on open face sandwiches.
White for him.
Whole Wheat for her.

Served with a salad & leftover mushroom risotto.
Easy peasy!
Thursday:
I just wanted cereal...
I made Joe "Bacon Pasta" for lunch.
{Recipe}
I didn't feel too hot today, so I ordered a pizza.
Friday:
I had avocados on their way out,
hamburger to use up,
and some tortillas...
So?
Tacos it was.
My husband is the most meticulous taco maker, ever.
Saturday:
  My friend came out for my baby shower, so we went out for sushi
{I had hibachi}
Sunday:
My baby shower--
so I ate there and we just had PB&J for a later dinner.
This week??
No clue.
I'll make a menu plan up, grocery shop and see what I come up with.
My hips are KILLING me.
So, super easy and tasty is most likely on the menu!
Any suggestions?

  5. I always read this posts and think, "Oh my GOD. Jenn is amazing, and I wish she was my own personal chef."

    These all sound and look delicious! I think few things are better than potato soup in fall and winter :)
