Some days(weeks) you just don’t feel like cooking! As much as I enjoy cooking, by the end of some days,I am exhausted and no idea what to cook. This has been one of those weeks. Right now all of us are dealing with stress we can not control, COVID and political unrest! Where and when do I order groceries? Is it safe to go to a local grocery store with increase in cases?
For all of us in the Northeast, cold, dark, dreary days with no snow that zaps your energy!
Like all of you we must eat and have leftovers for lunch.
This week it has been last minute dinner decisions. Thankful for a freezer full of food.
Monday – Leftover chicken thighs. Couscous mixed dates and walnuts.
Tuesday – Baked ziti and hot sausage links with frozen stir fry mix of peppers and onions. The ziti is such an easy recipe! I do not precook noodles. Mix box of noodles, jar of sauce, jar of water, italian seasoning, container cottage cheese optional, shredded mozzarella. Mix it all together. I add a little more mozzarella to the top. Cover tightly with foil, bake for about 45 minutes at 375! There are actual recipes online!
Wednesday – Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls using ground venison.
Thursday – Chicken wings in airfyer and salad with pears and blue cheese
Friday- Homemade pizza with mushrooms, peppers and pesto. Pizza dough in the bread maker.
Saturday – Since going out isn’t safe, we make a fun meal once a week. Croissants topped with pork, peppers, cheddar cheese,aoli and homemade onion rings. Served with homemade sweet potatoe fries and roasted broccoli.
