Last week the new recipes weren’t so hot, so this week we’re having some known faves.
Sun. Chicken broccoli rice bake
Mon. Visiting nana
Tues. Turkey & stuffing pie (from the freezer, I work late)
Wed. Pork tamale casserole (from cooking light)
Thu. American chop suey (I love this stuff, dh hates it and he won’t be home for dinner
Fri. Homemade pizza or leftovers (I work late)
Nice easy week of guaranteed hits for us. Plus my girl and I will try Baked Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal & No Bake Granola Bars (both from two peas and their pod)
what is american chop suey? also do you have a link the blueberry coconut oatmeal and no bake granola bars?
the oatmeal is AMAZING!
What I grew up with as American Chop Suey is basically ground beef cooked with onion then simmered for 20 minutes or so with a smsll can of tomato sauce and a 15oz can of diced italian herb tomatoes. Then add in cooked macaroni and optional corn and eat once warmed through, or if you’re like me cook it another 10 minutes or so till the macaroni are really soft and saturated with the sauce. It’s comfort food straight out of childhood for me.
The coconut blueberry oatmeal we just tried and it was great. The bars didn’t work as well for us but we okay. Both are from this website http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com
